Neo003 Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Vaporware no more! Gaming?s most legendary hero makes his triumphant return this JuneWindsor, UK ? May 24, 2011 ? 2K Games and Gearbox Software are proud to announce that Duke Nukem Forever?, one of the most anticipated entertainment properties of all time, has ?gone gold? and will be available at retailers on June 10, 2011 internationally and on June 14, 2011 in North America. The road to gold was paved over the course of 15 years and its legendary path climaxes on the Xbox 360? video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation?3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. Gamers who pre-order the title from select outlets will ensure that they are among the first to experience this legendary piece of gaming history when the demo* launches on June 3, 2011 for all platforms, exclusively for Duke Nukem First Access Club Members. "Duke Nukem Forever is the game that was once thought to be unshippable, and yet here we are, on the precipice of history,? said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. ?Today marks an amazing day in the annals of gaming lore, the day where the legend of Duke Nukem Forever is finally complete and it takes that final step towards becoming a reality.? Created over the span of 15 years, Duke Nukem Forever was first developed with the intense passion and commitment from an inspired group of dedicated designers, artists and programmers at 3D Realms under the direction of game industry icon, George Broussard. ?Duke Nukem Forever and its journey to store shelves is legendary,? said George Broussard, creative director at 3D Realms. ?It's an epic tale of four game development studios that banded together and did the unthinkable and shipped the unshippable. When you play this game you will be reminded of that epic journey at every turn and in every small detail of the game. The character, attitude, interactivity, gameplay and political incorrectness combine to make a Duke Nukem game a unique gaming experience. In the timeless words of Duke Nukem it's finally time to 'Come Get Some'. Come be a part of gaming history.? In 2009, after many believed that Duke Nukem Forever would never be completed, a small team of intrepid developers, known as Triptych Studios, resurrected the dream. Through their inspiring and steadfast commitment to the game and their exemplary talent and skill, they finally assembled the pieces to create an incredible, epic and cohesive gameplay experience. Under the production of Gearbox Software, Triptych Studios, Piranha Games and many other contributors joined together in a heroic effort to complete the long awaited game as a polished, full-featured triple-A title. "Always bet on Duke, I did," said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. "I bet on all of the developers who have ever been a part of this legendary project and I bet that none of us want to live in a world without the Duke. I've played the final game and it is an incredible experience - a once-in-a-lifetime opus of interactive entertainment that reminds me once again why Duke Nukem is our King. The developers of Duke Nukem Forever at 3D Realms, Triptych, Piranha and finally at Gearbox deserve our thanks and respect for never giving up and have truly shown us that they have balls of steel!" Strictly for the biggest Duke Nukem fans, the First Access Club grants members exclusive access to the pre-release demo on June 3, 2011 so that they are amongst the first to experience gaming history in the making. There are multiple ways fans can join the exclusive First Access Club, by pre-ordering the game from select retailers or by purchasing the Borderlands Game of the Year Edition on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system and Windows PC. True Duke Nukem die-hards will want to get their hands on the Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition.

neoadorable Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 where did this notion that DNF isn't a good looking game come from? from what we've seen it's as nice as anything that's been out recently. use critical thinking rather than subscribe to hype. Crysis 2...didn't find that game any prettier than other contemporary shooters. likewise, i don't know why there's this perception that DNF is somehow more about gameplay than visuals compared to others in its genre. ninety nine percent of this game was done in the last three years, i guarantee it. this isn't 1998 DNF, it's 2011 DNF.

Neo003 Posted June 2, 2011 Author Share Posted June 2, 2011 No reviews? Colour me dubious. And pink. Seriously were you expecting review for Duke Nukem, this isn?t' Halo or Metal Gear game. If you're expecting good story or awesome dialogs then I would recommend you play something else, I hear Red Faction: Armageddon is coming out.
