So what if this is like a really fun game that kind of introduces a lot of new game play features to the genre of shooters but doesn't change everything?

People are so used to hyped titles having to be groundbreaking and graphically realistic that they forget about it just being fun. That is my only expectation for this game. After 13 years I just wanna be able to play it and have fun doing so

Well DNF is going to the next step as far as interactivity goes.

If you see a pool table or pinball machine, you can play them. You can work out at any gyms you come across. You can turn out lights, drink beer, drink from a fountain, use the toilet, draw/write on things, get lap dances, use a glory hole, pick up crap and I'm sure a lot more. Not to mention that the surroundings seem to react to certain things, like throwing crap at a ceiling fan brings physics into play and the fan begins to swing.
That's all pretty interactive for an FPS.

Plus it's bringing a lot of "adult" themes to mainstream gaming, even if it is in an immature way. Nudity, sex, booze, smoking, violence, language etc. Yeah, most games have a couple of them but it's usually only just in a certain part of the game or in a few different scenes. DNF has them all pretty much through out, as I understand it.

Content like that wasn't something you'd usually see on a store shelf. So for those two reasons, I'd say it is somewhat groundbreaking in the sense that it's opening up the freedoms of what games can do and contain.

In the end, it is just about fun. One of the reasons I don't like these war FPS games is because the fun has been sucked right out of them to make them "real" and "gritty" etc. Plus they all look so much alike graphically and in gameplay that I can't even distinguish between them.

Only games I can recall coming anywhere close to that level of interactivity would be GTA: San Andreas and GTA IV.

It's being said you can visit 69 floors of Dukes casino and that the game will have 300+ easter eggs. Now, what is meant by "easter eggs"? To me, easter egg would be a secret like a hidden reference under a hidden rock.
I'm not sure if that's what they mean by easter egg or if they mean easter egg as in everything we can interact with.

Not sure, either, but given the Duke's long history in videogames they'd be crazy not to put in at least 1 easter egg referencing a previous game in the series.

Or so you'd think anyway...guess we'll all find out this June.

Also, decided to go "all-in" and get the BoS package since I never pre-order special edition games. This one sounded way too cool to pass up though.

He dropped his pistol when he picked up the shrink ray, could've swore I read that this was more like Duke3D and not modern shooters that only let you use 2 weapons.

Duke can only carry 2 weapons at a time, apparantly. Health or "Ego" recharges as well.

It seems a bit strange to make an "old school" FPS and include the two least popular traits of modern FPS games.

Interview and MP footage.

Embedding is disabled and trying to embed from Gamespot doesn't show up. We see some of the costumisation we can use on Duke and I just know MP will be full of people in Uncle Sam hats.

Never knew about the "mutators", sounds cool.

Duke Nukem almost had a sidekick character to help him in the game and it would have been a gay robot as a way to show how Duke would interact with someone who had different views. No exact reason to why the robot was removed was given although the story revolving the two characters was mostly done by the time of the change.

The robot would also have played a bigger role in the story where the robot sacrifices itself so that Duke could escape and continue the game.

The demo leaked on modded/Jtag 360s, whatever that means.

Videos of gameplay are put up and taken down just as quickly.

Isn't Hasney usually able to get this stuff? If he could and he does, I need to know if the games text is readable on an SD widescreen TV.
I'm not sinking £68 in a limited edition of a game if I can't play it.

I've no idea what a Jtag console even is.

I'm hoping videos start to surface long enough to view. You'd think people would realise "I should upload this else where. YouTube just removes it."

Someone should just make a video, upload it to a file site, link people to it and let it spread that way.

A jtagged 360 makes it so you can play anything that you don't buy, games, xbla games, dlc and does other things, like booting games without the need for the disc. Compared to a flashed 360 that just lets you play burned games.

Demo will arrive on June 3 only if you pre-ordered the game but its possible everyone else would get access to it 1-2 weeks later.

Quote:
The playable demo finally arrives on June 3 but only if you've pre-ordered the game, which grants you access to what the studio is calling "The First Access Club." Here in the US, Amazon and GameStop are the retailers handing out the codes needed to be first in line for Duke Nukem Forever's demo.

Yeah, that's what the above video was announcing. Some people think it's a bad sign that the demo isn't out to the general public until after release.

Anyone that plays the demo, let me know if text is readable on an SDTV.

If anyone in the UK wants a Duke Nukem T-shirt, preorder the game at ASDA.

Isn't Hasney usually able to get this stuff? If he could and he does, I need to know if the games text is readable on an SD widescreen TV.
I'm not sinking £68 in a limited edition of a game if I can't play it.
What video cable are you using? S-Video or proper RGB SCART or whatever will make a big difference. Also what size is your TV and what are your eyetest results?

I use the RGB Scart. The other one is for HD only, isn't it?

My tv is about 32 inches.

There are two kinds of "hd only" games. The ones like Dead Rising and Mass Effect which genuinely are unreadable on anything other than an HD tv and there are the ones like Fable III where you can get barely readable text if you change your 360 display settings to "normal" rather than "widescreen".

Randy Pitchford took questions from the Xbox UK community, answer questions about DNF. Here are some things worth mentioning:

- Duke Nukem Forever wont be the last Duke Nukem game (obviously).
- There will be no splitscreen in DNF because it's not possible to render more than one screen at a time.
- The story mode is about 15 hours long. (I'm assuming that's not counting messing about with stuff)
- It's likely but not 100% that DNF will get DLC.
- The interactivity is bigger than we've seen. The interactivity we've seen in videos is just the tip of the iceberg and he doesn't think we'll even find everything we can interact with because there is so much.
- The demo is only available to First Access Club Members and everyone else will get it after release.
- The demo isn't the only reward FAC members will get.

Supposedly, IGNs review of the game leaked briefly. If the review did leak, that means IGN will score the game 9.5.

Convieniant screen capture someone took of the score.

I know you said supposedly as a qualifier, but still. Guessing that's photoshopped as IGN probably doesn't even consider writing reviews for new releases until a week or less before the release date.

Erm, they're usually written way in advance, just have a legal NDA until a certain date.

Just seems a little crazy to write the review, say a month or even a half-month out (or longer), especially when that can leave the window open 4 so many delays and all...something that this game is quite infamous for.

Isn't that the point of games going "gold"? They go "gold" a month or so before release when production and distribution of the game itself starts. I'm sure reviewers get their copies then and agree not to release their review until the game drops

Well, I suppose. Guess we'll have to wait another couple weeks to find out if IGN really thought the wait was worth it that much and what other reviews have to say by comparison.

Duke Nukem Forever releases in the UK on June 10, with a demo due on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on June 3.

Gamestop announced it will honor the old pre-orders of the game when it done before Gearbox took over development duties for those who still kept the receipt. Also the same stuff that was to be offered will still be given.

Quote:
Game Stop sent out this message to IGN to get the word out:

"With a long-anticipated release like Duke Nukem Forever, we encourage customers who pre-ordered more than a year ago to verify their reservation with their local store prior to launch. Provided the customer has a receipt, we will honor even those pre-orders taken long ago."

These older pre-orders will also include "Duke's Big Package," which comes with Big Head Mode, a free t-shirt and some more extra goodies.

No offense, SM but that's not really huge breaking news or anything. I mean why the fuck wouldn't they honor pre-Gearbox pre-orders and give those people the same pre-order bonus content?

I mean, I know it's just meant for those who specifically were in that particular situation and may have been wondering/hadn't asked at the GS where they pre-ordered, but still...
