You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. That was the case with Duke Nukem Forever, a perpetually delayed game starring the Chuck Norris of video game characters, which never was going to live up to a decade of hype. But a new game starring the Duke? Let’s rock!
Interceptor Entertainment is working on a new game starring the hero who is always without gum, and have set up a teaser site in order to get the ball rolling.
It’s currently down for maintenance though, but not before AGB snapped a screenshot. And if that image doesn’t say Duke Nukem, well then my laser surgery on my eyes must have gone catastrophically bad.
NeoGAF believes that they’ve figured out what kind of game Duke Nukem will be back in, with a little bit of digging revealing that Mass Destruction will be a “top down action RPG”. With Unreal Engine flair of course.
As for who Duke will be fighting, it looks like those damn pesky aliens are at it again. Bring on the pig cops baby. Interceptor Games was formed in 2010, for the sole purpose of making a new Duke Nukem game. Gearbox has given them the go-ahead to create a new Duke game, so long as the house of Borderlands can control all the other publisher aspects of this project.
The Interceptor Duke Nukem game was originally meant for a 2011 release, but that one was put on hold as well, leaving the team to work on other projects, such as ported Duke Nukem games and 2013’s Rise of the Triad.
Duke Nukem may be a sexist, one-liner spouting stereotype with a gun, but dammit, he’s my sexist one-liner spouting stereotype with a gun! I’m still waiting for Gearbox to get to work on a Duke Nukem game as well, or to even throw the character into the inevitable Borderlands 3 as a paid DLC class, but I’ll take any manner of ass-kicking and lack of gum until this happens.

After that last piece of crap they put in a box and called a game they better give this one away for free.

I think at this stage if they go back to 2D games it’ll probably still be better than Duke Nukem Forever.

I wonder if it will play like Postal 1. Which is not a bad thing 😛
Alien Emperor Trevor
February 3, 2014 at 08:52
That would be pretty cool. I would have liked to see a Blood Dragon type shooter.

I sense some aversion to a top down RPG.

Doesn’t seem to convinced. I think he might change his mind.
TiMsTeR1033
February 3, 2014 at 09:11
Top down Rpg, just wouldnt work man! flippin hell. Its easy man just follow these steps to make awesome Duke Nukem game.
1. Get a good game engine (Cryengine 3 would be perfect)
2.Remake Duke Nukem 3d and add some extra stuff
3.add lots of aliens to kill
4.have old and new weapons
5.make it have an awesome Mp
6.Add lots of tits and ass
7.Epic boss battles
8.Don’t let them use unreal engine 2.0 again (at least Unreal ed 3.0)
General JJ PanGirl
February 3, 2014 at 09:12
I read no 7 as “epic boob battles”
Kensei Seraph Moe Ninja
February 3, 2014 at 09:16
I pictured that fight in my head and it was pretty epic.

TiMsTeR1033

The boss jiggles?
Alien Emperor Trevor
February 3, 2014 at 09:19
That would depend on how realistic the physics engine is.
General JJ PanGirl
February 3, 2014 at 09:21
Get some tips from the guys from Final Fantasy, seeing as how they’ve focused more on that than a story lately.
TiMsTeR1033

cryengine 3 would do rather well

After DN:Forever, (and, let’s be honest, Aliens:CM) this is definitely in the “wait and see” pile… You ain’t gonna burn me twice Gearbox, with your retro remakes being handed off to other studios… It ain’t working this time! You hear me?!
**puts bandana on and runs to fetch his shotgun**
Alien Emperor Trevor

When you say it that way I notice that all the crap Gearbox games have a colon right there in the title.

February 3, 2014 at 09:47
Exactly! It’s clues they leave us, I tell you… If they ever release “Borderlands: Tales of Vault Fury” then we know – Don’t buy it!! It’s a trap!
