New Duke Nukem Teased for PS & PC

Glordit said:
Gearbox really dropped the ball so hard on DNF, they should have scrapped it and started over instead of working with the 5 year old mess they had gotten in the beginning.

I recall a few years ago, some one was remaking the original Duke Nukem 3D in the U3 engine but that has fallen away with time.

You can say what you want about Gearbox and what a terrible game company they may be, but you can't blame them for the travesty that was Duke Nukem Forever. That was 100% 3D Realms' fault.

Lets also not (or try to) forget Aliens Colonial marines, that was also a mess.

That's Interceptor. The same company mentioned in the OP. Gearbox apparently told them that they could work on the game but that they were not allowed to release it. IE then put Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded on indefinite hold. Gearbox has since refuted these claims and they say they didn't ever tell IE they couldn't release the game, but I'm not at all tempted to believe them.
 
The thing about Duke Nukem 3D was that it was like the pioneer of first person shooters... Along with the original doom... So its not even as much as the game was great, as we didnt know any better... So i think alot of peoples perception of Duke Nukem was how mind blowing the game play was, not so much the story...

If you think about it the story and the character was so pathetic and childish it was a joke... I mean he took a dump in the aliens head ffs...

Yeah I agree, although it's place in gaming history is undeniable. Which is why I do feel the name could still sell if they took it to a whole other level, keeping the character and his witty one-liners, but make him more 3 dimensional and make the gameplay/storyline more mature.
