Looks Damn Good to me !
But I am old school...and I do not really care about the grafix and if they are dated!
This is a trip into my past,
and I am just glad Gearbox did what they did !

Thanks !

There's nothing oldschool about this game, they shit all over the greatness that was Duke Nukem

Graphics are dated, gameplay is new meets crap. It's really an awful game. I've played a couple of hours, broken up into multiple sessions and it's just so damn tedious. EVERYTHING is scripted, you literally get stuck against invisible walls every few feet you travel to be confronted with another scripted event.

It would have been funnier if it had released in 98 as polanned but the jokes still hit home every now and then. I mean, the entire joke is just that people are bonkers over Duke, and it kinda works. Where it fails to make an impression is the cookie-cutter gameplay. It doesn't feel all that well made and there's not even an attempt at making the game stand out or feel just geninely good in any way. At the same time it's not in any way bad...it jsut kinda gets lost in the shuffle of all the FPS games out there.

I'd give it 5/10 based on that it was kinda fun but nothing memorabl. The very definition of a middle of the road kind of game. Don't expect too much but if you liike Duke, don't be afraid to pick it up...more or less :)

I played the PC version though, so i don't know anything about performance issues. It ran at a steady 60 fps constantly with everything set on Ultra.

Yeah, not the best game, but the game is pretty dated so its not like it was gonna be the game of the year, we all knew that. But it still gets a 7/10 from me, it could have been better with todays tech. Maybe they will do a new game with todays tech later and faster.

Personally i think the game feels dated and bland because GearBox didn't want to keep the cycle repeating, they just decided that what was tehre would be polished up enough that it'd be posible to box and sell it and that's it.

I will buy it for $5 or $10 during the Steam summer sale :P

I believe that Yahtzee from ZP said that any competent developer could fart this game out in no time and that seems to be exactly what Gearbox have done. Farted this game out with minimal effort in order to cash in on the franchise and be done with it.

As you guys have said, nothing awful but nothing special either.

lol at dieing physics and gfx they are rly dated , omg

Glad he has a home because he's not coming anywhere near me.

You can't blame Gearbox. They did what they had to do: release the game to compensate for the costs. 3DRealms made a mess of the game. There are only 2 things Gearbox could have done: finish and release it or throw it in the garbage bin. Maybe the latter would have been the best choice in terms of quality. Maybe if sales are good, Gearbox can make a true new Duke Nukem.

Seen nothing but bad reviews so far. Might wait till its dirt cheap. Should have released it 2 years ago when it was originally finished.

Forever is imo pretty mediocre at best and lacks the feeling and soul of Duke 3d

The game is seriously broken. No wonder why it never got released.

This looks like they tried too hard to make it like the old ones

It's like the problem Sega still has making their Sonic games.
Got some dyslexic devs working on this.

Looks like an HD remix of an Xbox 1 game.

Eurogamer gave it a 3/10... damn...

Tried this at the weekend, it's fucking abysmal!!

I knew it was going to blow, but lol at the hate and the comments here.

yeah, basically Gearbox have the rights to Duke now and are no doubt in full production of one that makes use of todays hardware. They probably thought releasing this would get Dukes name back out there and they'd be able to capitolise on that later down the line with the release of another... the reality is it'll probably work more against them now.

The game's in no state to be released if the console demo's anything to go by..something now backed up by the reviews of the full retail. And if you're offered something so shoddy and frankly broken then its doubful that another title using the Duke name is going to sell in the millions.

Gearbox should have cut their loses with this..rather than adding to them, as i cant see this one selling well at all.

The game doing well in UK - number one this week. I want to hear some numbers after 2-3 weeks. As i expected - no matter how shitty is, the game will sell well just because the box art say DUKE. :PI bet you will hate it aswell. Just play 2-3hrs of this turd and came here again lol.

Again, it's not brilliant but come the fuck on. It's neither broken nor THAT bad. It's just very bland.

Seth i think you will find DUKE is not as big a franchise as you think.. and to be fair i think its selling pretty well for something most kids have no idea what it is.

Loved Duke Nukem 3D when i was 10-11 years old kid. It was funny as hell. Sorry but the ''new'' one is different. It's a mess of a game - it's not even a oldschool because you can see that they have stealed fuckload of things from all new shooters around. The final result is not good, sadly.
I'm happy for one thing - i can't buy games blindly as most of the people do.

I watched 1 walkthrough of it to know its damn boring to me.

I will just wait for Rage as my upcoming FPS.

Thers always sam :) always prefered it over duke, and i hope 3 does not fail :D
