I've heard that Pitchford mentioned giving something to those guys with the oldest preorder receipts. The dude with the 2005 Gamestop preorder one better get something good.

I haven't played any Duke Nukem at all, but I'll be buying this. It's like history or something.

I feel the same way. Even though I have no interest in the game I feel the urge to buy it just to be in on the joke.

I played Duke Nukem 3D back in the late 90s. I don't think I ever completed the full game though, or I might have, but can't remember. Back then, it was insanely awesome for it's style and irreverent humor. Graphically, it was outdone by Quake and the next gen 3D games of the time.

Looking back, I am glad DNF will finally be released. I'll hold judgement until I actually play the game...

So much to do

so little time...

I think that even if it's a complete retread, the humor will lift it above and beyond most of the games out there now.

Bonus if it does something special but I'm not really expecting it. If anything it will be more of a throwback, or a
Call of Duty clone with more silliness. But you can already kick an eyeball through goalposts at an American football game, so I guess they're going the right direction for the humor bit?

Play to win... or to have fun too! :)

Yeah, DNF will most likely be a throw back to simpler times.. but it'll be refreshing in a sea of Call of Duty clones.. I miss that "one man army" bit in FPS games, to be honest.

While Duke Nukem was always too stupid to be taken seriously and I desperately hope that this new annoucement too will be infitinely delayed to preserve the decade-long joke, I am infinitely delighted that Croteam should have us a Serious Sam 3 by next year or so. I always thought Serious Sam worked well as a vision for what Duke Nukem 3D would have been like if it were actually fun and/or funny.

I own the shirt that Serious Sam wears. Best thing I ever bought.

Iplayed it back then and enjoyed the humor and interesting weapons - I'm not too into FPSs, so I don't know if the interestin weapon variations Duke had back then, like the pipe bombs you could place then trigger somewhere else in a stage, even through a teleporter, the shrink ray or those traps things you could stick to wall have also been used in other games or as well.
It was a fun game to go throuh using an invincibility cheat, in the very least, due to all there was to see and do - I hope the sequel it'll hold up nicely in these days when people that grew up with Quake and Doom are making their own FPS blockbusters...

Best LAN moments of my youth:
1) Place Pipe-bomb
2) Go to video surveillance screen and wait
3) When poor opponent arrives in the room, detonate (and listen to him cursing)
4) fun times!

This was a definite blast to play with friends during high school (that and Carmageddon, which, at the time, was incredible) So many great memories.

Blah!

While I can't say I enjoyed DN3D as much as I enjoyed Serious Sam, DN3D's gameplay is marveously featured. Where Quake's main claim was lunatic bomb jumping, DN3D simply had so much going on; trip bombs, remote bombs, remote cameras, a melee attack independant of your current weapon... it just goes on and on. In terms of sheer amount of stuff that they tried to cram into the game, it reminds me of the old Looking Glass games like System Shock (the first one). I'm not sure if all of it was thoroughly thoughtful, but it was certainly far more thoughtful than the image its tough guy hero presented.
