Duke Nukems new anniversary

With a new year coming up very quickly comes the one year anniversary of the Duke Nukem forever trailer. If you take the time to tour their site you'll notice their message when will Duke Nukem come out? In a very Blizzard answer "When it is done." But that begs the question what are you making?

Duke Nukem was a game about humor and and mindless killing. For it's time it was controversial, and a toy. Over the years it has became a folk legend to most of the younger gamers of today. We are now to the point that the last duke game came out when todays college freshmen where six.

So with this extreme level of time and disconnect by todays gamers can 3D Realms do anything to bring them into the fold? I guess only time will tell, and at this point what do they have to loose? Duke only has everything to prove and all to loose. The trailer that 3D Realms debuted back at the end of last year was jaw dropping, and showed the world that yes in fact the game had people still working on it.

Though the problem was it didn't show much of anything in gameplay. My only hope is that they played and learned from Doom three. If you haven't played the game the problem became *spolier* that you would clear a room then a re-spawn would happen. So all you had to do was clear a room turn a round and walk backwards. Then boom with a shotgun you could drop the hell spawns.

So with a game that was meant to be out over a decade ago, this had better be the second coming of shooters. Or at least make people forget about that little green space marine.
