Never one to shy away from an opportunity to blow the living daylights out of a sizeable monster on an American football field, last night I slipped through the crowds in BAFTA HQ to earn myself some quality hands-on time with the ever-so-slightly delayed Duke Nukem Forever. Leaving behind the kind of expectations one would have from your usual modern day FPS adventure such as Killzone 3 or Crysis 2, I decided to take my mind, body and spirit back to 1997 – a time before the word “sexism” poisoned the industry and certainly a time before anyone really gave a damn about narrative and so-called “believability”.
Multiple future Gearbox Software projects, including Borderlands 4 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 2 have been spotted.
Hopefully, they fired the entire writing team after B3 cause that dialogue was truly atrocious.
doubtful... this is gearbox we're talking about.. Randy thinks everything the studio does is gold because he has a bad concept of reality
FFS make something else. If you can't make anything new, at least bring back Brothers In Arms or something.
I know it will never happen (for obvious story reasons that's happened) but I wish we could play the original Vault hunters again with new abilities you could choose to develop in a skill branch. Never really felt I could get behind most of them after the first game, especially move wise. Lilith's phase walk will always be the best to me.
Speaking of Lilith, I'm kind of wondering how they'll get around the whole Siren thing since they wrote themselves into a corner saying there's "only 6 Sirens in the entire universe" and now thanks to Borderlines 3 they apparently pass on their abilities meaning once we see each of 6 powers available that's it, no new brand new ones. I don't know why they don't just say there's more than 6 since all of them in the ENTIRE Universe just conveniently coming to Pandora is a bit strange.
That's super easy to get around. Each person that has the skill could have their own personal spin on it. There could be a new power that morphs them into something else. One of the weapon manufacturers could experiment on 5 of the Sirens and the 6th would have to fight a horde of siren powered bad guys to rescue the others. Fiction has been there and done that with power more complex or simple thousands of times before.
As for revisting the first game? That would be totally unlike the gaming industry to reboot a series...
Good news for Gearbox and Pinball Fans. Zen Studios today announced a partnership with fellow Embracer Group developer Gearbox Software to bring classic game series to life in pinball form with Gearbox® Pinball. This three-pack of digital tables is set for release when Zen’s new Pinball FX platform hits PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series x/s.
Duke Nukem Forever originally began its life as a sidescroller instead of a shooter back in 1996, and that canceled version has just been leaked.
Very cool, but i don't know how real this is... I'll check it out later to find out.
Loving it!! Had enough of relfex-heavy FPS games for a bit... trying to be gritty and "real" but just as ridiculous as Duke. Looking at you, COD...
I am definitely dying to relive my Duke days in this title.
Why does that picture make me immediately think of some sort of lovechild between Max Headroom and John McClane?
looks like billy idol on steroids
