No, this is not a joke - although, after 13+ years, people has the right to be full of doubts (myself included).
The game has finally been announced at Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle to be released on 2011 on PC and consoles.
THIS is the official announcement, and THESE TWO are the videos from the playable demo.
I still cannot believe it !
Hail to the King, baby !!!
It's gonna have to be the most epic game ever just to live down 10 years of hype.
So THAT'S what that button was for!
Sorry, my bad...
No worries, I always get it confused with the two buttons next to it... one summons coffee, and the other fires the nukes. (I almost always have to hit the reality button after screwing up the coffee/nuke buttons.)
I believe it when I see it - in stores, no less. And even then, I'll be sceptic.
Does this mean there's hope for Shadows of Latin America?
what's duke nukem?
is that like dig dug?
And Dungeon Keeper 3.

Linked for you.
And Dungeon Keeper 3.Thanks SO much for twisting that knife.
Any time. Now that you're down, want me to kick you?
Wing Commander Something (where "something" is one of those words you see on every second game, like "Resurrection" or "Chronicles")
We need a Serious Sam/Duke Nukem crossover.
And on a related topic ..... *goes into a barbarian rage and gets all Conan on KaeYoss* ..... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR REMINDING ME OF THE GREAT OCEAN OF SUCK INVOLVED WITH DUNGEONS.
Dungeon Keeper, you shall live on in our hearts along with the other great games, such as Thief I & II. At least until whatever tools who dictate 'all computer games must be explody' die horribly and we actually get some people outside of the 'portable nuke in a handgun' mindset for computer games in charge.
Ah well .... I can wait another twenty years, I guess. However by that time we'd better have g%##+~n Holo-Rooms!

Seriously speaking? Serious Sam is quite a bit closer to my heart than Duke Nukem. (as in actually close) The Egyptian setting(followed by the lush, colorful settings when everyone else was doing nothing but BROWN), the unbelievably huge swarms of enemies, the sheer ridiculousness of it all.
I'll never forget running for the Great Pyramid at the end of the first game along with my friends on co-op. That long stretch of road, with endless waves upon waves of trouble that we just kept plowing through.
And then they shout for me to look back behind us....
And yeah...still missing Dungeon Keeper. I think both games can be bought through Good Old Games, but apparently the second game has issues runningon many current computers. Which really upsets me. It's even more upsetting that EA sold licensed the brand out to some company to make a Dungeon Keeper MMO. Made ONLY for Asian markets. What the hell.
Along iwth that and the Thief series, I'd add System Shock to the list of games whose like we're sorely missing these days.
I watched the trailer for Duke Nukem Forever, and it looks awful. Not even Can't-Live-Up-To-The-Hype awful- just plain awful. And I think the fact that the official trailer has THREE (or more?) instances of censored nudity just proves the developers know that it looks awful.

I am one of the unfortunate to have bought this.
The first few minutes are okayish enough. Plenty of mood setting. Correct graphics. Right until the first combat starts.
Slow action.
Idiotic adversaries
bad settings.
Weak weaponry.
And it only goes downhill from there. Very bad level design. If I had wanted to desecrate the dead body of the original, I could not have done it better (or worse).
Fortunately, it appears it only lasts 10 hours, though I gave up way before that.
It's bad enough that I will memorize the name of the companies involved to make sure I never buy from them again.
What's Duke Nukem like? It WAS like mario with a gun in the real life 80's until they made it into an FPS which is all that most people remember of Duke.

DN 3D was a Doom like and much better than Doom, as it really had a 3D feel, and was plenty action packed. Monsters were coming from everywhere at you, and you could pull the trigger plenty. There was also lots of hidden bonuses and jokes.
None of this happens in DN4.
You change from one room to another where either :
- you fight a single medium monster
- you fight a max of 4 normal monsters who look like unmoving rigid statues
- Something bad happens to you, usually in the form of you being miniaturized and unable to do much.
You get killed now and then, usually when you jump to somewhere you should not, as most of your adversaries are unable to affect you much.
Well some reviews are out now. Seems most agree on the suck factor. Glad I didn't buy it after wasting money on Darkspore recently.
10 years to produce crap, must be a new record.
