What are you waiting for *knucklecrack* Christmas?

It's now a race, will NS2 come out before DNF? Only time will tell :P

But seriously take all the time you need. Except 12 years like DNF.

Yeah Duke must be out of bubblegum again, and his brand bubblegum went out of buisiness about 11 years ago... That's where Duke has been these years, on the prowl for more bubblegum. While he let's Gordon, Master Chief. The Terrans, the Protos and the TSA deal with the aliens...


Keep in mind! Gordon, Master Chief. The Terrans, <i>the Protos<!--coloro:#FF8C00--><span style="color:#FF8C00"><!--/coloro-->*<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--></i> and the TSA combined are just enough to keep the aliens from taking over... When Duke is back, these guys can take a backseat and enjoy the show...

Yah I know they B aliens, but the Zerg is evuhler, if you ignore the Protos "cleansings"

Great video link Konohas, the game engine looks solid from what you can see.

I also saw this link at that same web site.

Aye. That's one of the funniest jokes ever.

Soylent_green

Regenerating health(rewards being a ###### and slows down the pace of the game), top speed slower than grandma, can only carry two weapons at a time. If you want Duke, play Duke3D; this Duke is in need of geriatric care.

Seriously? That's horrible. The way it's going it seems like ol' Freeman is going to be the last bastion of FPS hammer-space inventory abilities.

I heard that you don't have a health bar, rather an ego bar. When you take damage, you lose ego. You regain your ego by doing manly things, not hiding behind a rock.

I had heard this too; but there are several people reporting from PAX who have confirmed that you can just hide and regenerate health. They could be full of it, but I doubt it.

E.g. in Vanquish you go into bullet time when you hit 0 points (although some things kill you outright). During this time you regenerate HP (shields?) and if you take 1 hit you die. Granted, that is a single-player game.

Bacillus

The ego meter sounded potentially awesome. Huge shame if they resort to generic health regen.

lolfighter

Regenerating health should take a cue from willpower tankers in City of Heroes. Willpower tankers are not for wimps who run away and hide in shame, willpower tankers are for manly mans who dive into the fray because the more the odds are against you THE MORE HEALTH YOU REGENERATE. Booyah.

Sops

I want the paintings they had hanging around the PAX booth.

And it is going to be pretty shameful for all the games that have to hold the distinction for coming out after DNF.

Clear evidence of creeping consolitis, if you needed any more:

I'm glad their not just keeping the joke alive, but updating it for a new generation.

FPS game disks should destroy the inside the disk player by cracking at high speed inside these consoles!

RTS game disk should just explode, taking out half the block when used in a console...

Weapon select wheels ala Red Dead Redemption isn't something that works well anymore?

They really need better mic control. It's obviously a mic that has to be used close to the mouth and starts stuttering when too far away...

Meh, it was a live-stream?

Not if you have no creativity or a soul.

Drfuzzy

they should just dumb it down for two weapons on console and give pc all the weapons, everyone knows a console gamer cant swap between more than two weapons anyways :p

This was my immediate reaction, except I was thinking of Saints Row 2. Bare hands, melee, pistol(s), shotgun, smg(s), assault rifle, sniper rifle, grenades, timed explosives, rocket launcher, this is the arsenal of the true badass. Duke with 2 guns just seems... wrong. Tell me he at least gets four at once; one for each direction on the D-pad?
