Yep, well here it is. After years of waiting and a noticeable lack of strippers, Duke Nukem Forever has a release date -- which we hope is cemented. The trailer released to celebrate this momentous occasion, looks really, really good. A little Halo, and a little Gears of War is a good mix, I think we can all agree.
Oh, the release date? May 11th, 2011. Get yourself ready for Forever.
Previously on the Duke Nukem Forever saga, it was announced that Gearbox Software was helming the zombie reanimating of the once dead title. With an early playable build, the DNF news set the interwebz ablaze with reports, accounts of the action, and terrible shaky cam videos of chunks of gameplay. Now, some dude at an Amsterdam gaming convention has captured, in HD, the gameplay demo of Duke Nukem Forever in it's entirety. Marijuana and massive screenings of Duke? Lucky bastards.
Those initial reports did not lie, this is classic, cheesy, disgusting Duke in all his ass-kicking glory. Pissing, drawing dicks, shooting the fuck out of a towering mutant alien, and getting head from not one, but two chicks. Normally, I don't really care for the poor taste of lowbrow in my games (ahem, Bulletstorm), but this is Duke, the originator, and one of the turning points in my gaming career. I can still hear the deafening cavalcade of my 14.4k modem causing everyone in my house to wake up with bloody ears, just so I could shoot Devastator missiles at my next door neighbor on Duke Nukem 3D's football field. Good times.
