For those marginally interested: 2011 marks another in a long list of WTF ideas.
No problems bud. I never followed the stuff. I just found it odd enough to post a comment about. Hence: "WTF ideas"

I'd be interested to know why they added an extra zodiac sign.
Plus I'm doubtful anyone here believes in astrology, we're all fairly technically savvy people.

I read the other day that a few astronomers recently found out that the all those newspaper horoscopes and such have been very inaccurate (date and position wise) for the last 50 years or so.
I wish I could remember where I read about this, I would post a link or something.

Now remember kids. Asking questions is a good way to get censored by the government.

Duke Nukem Forever comes out May 3rd 2011 US, May 6th everywhere else.
And I have proof.

Hah well well.
The game looks like it'll be a fun, the Duke Nukem kind, and some of those levels look pretty interesting. I laughed at 2:17 and 2:28.

I wish Gearbox had gotten the rights to the content and code already produced during the life cycle from 3D Realms. I really would have liked to see a Collector's Edition dubbed, "Duke Nukem Forever Anthology" with all the different playable builds. There's at least two near full built games outside of the Gearbox version that's coming out.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

I hear'ya bud but at this point I think we should be glad its coming out at all.
With the first version made with the Quake engine and the second with the Unreal engine its about time the released it before they discovered yet another engine and we don't see anything till 2020 this time.
I'm surprised they didn't swap over to the engine used in Stalker Clearsky.

Well. 3D Realms was on the final haul last year to release the game using UE3. But they were met by external influence that halted them. 2K games even sent people in the get it (finally) on track. And it was working, but ... too little too late.
This was finished (or made) by Gearbox ... an entirely different studio who bought all the rights to Duke Nukem after 3D realms got the boot on the ass. So it's not the same people at all.

Then by my count this is the fourth time. Guess we really are lucky.
From Quake 2 to Unreal 1 to what did you say? UE3? What is that, Unreal again? Now Gearbox... OK, Gearbox made Op4, So what engine are they using?
I guess in retrospect 3dRealms shoulda stuck it out with Q2, then released another version with U1. They'd have at least recouped their losses and saved face. Especially considering how close they were to finishing each time. I hope that whatever put Duke on the back burner was worth it. At the time Q2 was top notch, and U1 was no slouch. They coulda gotten a lot of run-time out of both. I reloaded Unreal a couple months ago, it still looked ok.
Just think, we'd have Duke VI at least by now.
My only concern now is that Gearbox might have rushed to appease the mob crowd mentality. Sometimes "Shit or get off the pot" just doesn't cut it.
I waited a long time for Stalker CoP. I coulda waited longer considering what I got stuck with.
What makes me worry is until you posted, I hadn't heard nothin about "Close to release" noise.

Well they had demos at PAX last year that people could play. You can find gameplay videos of it online. It's pretty cool. So there's been plenty of "it's coming for real" news in the last three years.
Gearbox is likely using UE3. I don't really think they started the thing over, they were already making ANOTHER Duke Nukem game while 3D Realms was still working on Forever, so it's possible they combined them.
Gearbox is a very good studio. Really the only games they've made that I don't like are the Brothers in Arms series. And it's just because weak handguns is a pet peeve of mine. Opposing Force was solid, Borderlands is great, so I have no worries.
The original creator of Duke is actually working at Gearbox now, so it makes sense. And I believe the president of the company started making games because of Duke 3D ... so I imagine it's in the best hands possible all things considered. The previous owners wouldn't have sold them the entire franchise if they thought otherwise (considering there were other companies trying to buy it for years)
So, I'm not really worried. The only thing that MIGHT worry me is people might be expecting some revolutionary FPS, when I really think it's going to be a throwback game to the mid-90s shooter and I think a lot of current gamers are going to think it, "Sucks" as a result.

Sometimes I think you forget. I didn't stop coming here for over 3 years. I stopped using the net, period.
I am literally 3 years behind on anything new net wise.
Before you ask how I could stop, it was really for my own peace of mind. Every time I snuck online with my laptop it just rubbed salt into the wounds that I had no net at home, so I quit cold turkey.

Recently found out that my new video card rocks.
Left 4 Dead 2 all settings maxed, fan speed 50% (about 1600 RPM) an hour of gameplay ... max temperature was 41°C
I call that AWESOME.
