Glad i'm not the only one looking forward to this - it looks like the old-fashioned Duke formula done dozens of times before, but i don't care and i really can't wait!!
This is one of those very rare cases where I don't really mind if the game doesnt rank 90% and above scores in the press, it's duke and as long as they keep the spirit of all the other games that's enough.
Half the world will be like "15 years for this ?" while the other half will be playing the crap out of it. I'll be in the latter group.

Me too . I dont really care what the press says, I just hope it holds true to old school FPS gaming (not like Doom 3, every room had like 1 or 2 monsters - or thats how I remember it).
Thats the reason I love serious sam HD so much, its old school FPS!
I would rather be back in 1996 (and 1997,98 )... School was easy (I did not even revise for some of my GCSE's and that was later on at school!), life was easy and evenings consisted of playing games on my N64 and PS1 with my best mate and building LEGO. Will never have that much free time ever again.
At the end of the day it's a game. You do not have to buy it or play it . I just hope it maintains a decent pace (most modern shooters feel so slow to me), and a decent amount of enemies.
Have fun getting back to your overly serious life while playing your overly-serious video games.
I didn't mean to sound holier-than-thou and I didn't mean to imply that everyone was a complete moron, sorry!
No honestly, I didn't, I love Duke 3D and only played it for the first time a few years ago so no rose-tinted spectacles are involved. But that's in spite of it feeling like it was invented by a 12 year old.
But yeah, from the footage of Forever released so far I don't get it - no evidence of, you know, genuine wit. They probably could have spent some time adding this. Maybe the trailer was just cut for complete morons, which has been known to happen.
So everyone who still enjoys duke nukem, despite being 20 or older by now are complete morons ?
Did it occur to you that there are different people with different tastes ? Someone with different tastes from yours are are not necessarily morons, you know.
That's like saying british people are retarded just because I prefer american comedy. Makes perfect sense.
I don't have high hopes for the game since its a FPS and its new, but it definitely looks lightyears ahead of the garbage that is getting shoved down our throats today (thanks to the likes of "gamers").
I have the same problem with this as I have with New Mario bros, DKC returns and Rayman Origins. It harks back to some old game, aping the old style with todays technique, and almost makes fun of the original in a hopeless attempt not to look old to young gamers. It just becomes a parody on something too good to make parody games of. Kind of like the stuff Pod makes. Like bands that were aping fifties rockabilly in the eighties using digital delay. I will play it tho, being a moron for half an hour a day is good therapy.
Well. . . DKC Returns was actually pretty good and was really close to the SNES ones. I didn't see much of a problem with NSMB either minus the physics. Its impossible to play with multiple people, but hilarious that way as well. Never played Rayman Origins.
