Ars: Duke Nukem Forever Hands-On - An Ambitious, Audacious Mess

At a preview event for Duke Nukem Forever in Vegas, Pitchford continued to talk about his devotion to the game.

"I did not want to live in a world where there is no Duke Nukem, and that's the world we were facing in 2009. So we did it. We jumped in. Sometimes I've said that I bought Duke Nukem, but the more fair thing to say is that George and Scott sold it to me. I feel really humbled that they trusted me with their brand," Pitchford said.

I had this feeling. Looks like some things were rushed. How this is even possible on a 13 year dev cycle is beyond me. Looks like its trying to do to many things at once. And being good at none of it..

BUT I wont make a final judgment till I play it. If all else fails I hope at least this game cracks me up

we all have diffrent opinions, but i hope this isnt true

I knew it. This game is going to suck.

Way to ruin Duke's legacy.

God damn Megadeth Duke Nukem anthem is the best.

Snookies121356d ago

It is pretty amazing, I remember being so hyped that they covered the Duke theme back when it happened haha. I still quite enjoyed Forever though personally.

Venoxn4g1355d ago

"so wrong yet so right"

Only a few will know what Im talking about lol :D

Wow, that advanced lighting makes a huge difference to the visuals. I get that Gearbox tried to slap everything together and release a finished product. But it seems like they cut out a lot of content that would have made the experience more enjoyable. That's a shame.

ZycoFox1397d ago

Nerfed due to consoles.. and not the first time it has happened.

-Foxtrot1398d ago

Kind of amazing the difference a lighting engine makes

ZycoFox1397d ago

Same, the AI could be pretty dumb but the bosses were fun. I thought the levels (mostly) got better later in the game too.

XiNatsuDragnel1398d ago

Devs nerf a game man best quote I've ever heard.
