Is Duke Nukem Forever Already Outdated?

Games like Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, and Killer7 have made the “mature” offerings of Duke Nukem positively tame. These are games that, while sometimes over the top and disturbing, tackle their content with a certain level of maturity and sophistication. Duke Nukem Forever, at least what we’ve seen of it, seems to lack these qualities. Instead it focuses yet again on childish gags, womanizing, and violence. These things certainly have their place in certain games, especially in Duke Nukem, yet they simply aren’t enough to carry the series anymore. Not much has been released in terms of actual gameplay, and what has been shown looks somewhat primitive and outdated.

Who cares. I am still gonna play it. Singularity was very outdated (or old school, depends on the view) in all kind of senses but still better than most crap they serve us today

**cough** for example **cough** call of duty **cough**

But don't worry! You can get this great medicine for it for the low low price of only £15 as DLC for your new favorite game, Call Of Duty: Throat Ops!

On topic, no it isn't outdated. It's actually a breath of fresh air in the genre today. Hail to the King, baby.

MaxXAttaxX5567d ago

It's been so long since the last game that it's fresh.

who gives a flying crap if something is "outdated" by someones idiotic notions. That blog is outdated

macky3015567d ago (Edited 5567d ago )

I cannot wait to play Duke,..
And I am pumped as hell to find out more about Serious Sam 3 tomorrow,..

bozebo5567d ago

The only thing that has improved in the industry in about 10 years is the technology - which isn't the most important thing.

So even if it is outdated, it could still be an amazing game.

I won't know till I'm playing it to be honest, I just hope it isn't bad, if it's anything else I will be happy.

God damn Megadeth Duke Nukem anthem is the best.

Snookies121344d 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.

Venoxn4g1344d ago

It is great, you should check out Eric Calderone - Duke Nukem meets metal .. thats proper as well

"so wrong yet so right"

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

porkChop1386d ago

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.

ZycoFox1386d ago

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

-Foxtrot1386d ago

Kind of amazing the difference a lighting engine makes

ZycoFox1386d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel1386d ago

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