... this game will never die, will it? Not even 3D Realms going bankrupt will kill it.

The quotes are all lifted from Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, so is the "Ego" health system (fun game, by the way).
I haven't seen this footage before, but it suspiciously looks like something reused with a "new" audio track. Right now, I don't see this as more than a fan video pieced together from existing assets.

OfflineIt's been too long. No matter what happens the game will never live up to the hype. Better to never release it and have it waft forever in the halls of gaming myth.
Of course it won't manage to live up to the hype. Unless the new dev team went into overtime from the beginning, the game will most likely feel like a step backwards compared to other late 2010 / early 2011 releases. I don't mind, though, and this is pure release date material to me. I'm not a big fan of FPS games, and I only play those that look like fun to me. If there's one thing that the Duke can deliver, that's it.

Anyone for DN on the 3-DS. Because I would buy that.
Well, there's the Duke Nukem Trilogy headed for the DS and PSP. It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it could be enjoyable. There hasn't been much news on it since the E3 announcement, so how exactly the games will play still has to be seen.

A precise release date: May 3rd, 2011!
For the first time in the history of this game, we've got a specific release date. Even if this one slips a little, I don't expect any major delays anymore. This is awfully close to Portal 2's release, which means that I'll have one heck of a fun PC gaming period this spring!

And to think, my brother gets to beta test it first thanks to his owning Borderlands, and as such I do too. Hah!

Awesome, the joke's still on! Now on track for a June 10 release! 
I don't see that as a downside: it'll give me more time to play through Portal 2 before moving on.

The game's gone gold, so it's in the bag!
Funny comment I read related to this: "It's time to delay release and chew bubble gum... and I'm all out of delays."
C'mon guys, don't let me make 4 posts in a row in this topic...

About damn time, I say.

Offline That's part of the reasons why I'm getting a box in store instead of simply getting it through Steam: I want it to sit on my shelf.

Welp, let's get this over with.
Got the demo, for what it was it was alright. Nothing amazing, but not bad. Pretty much what I expected, with some oddities.
-Regenerating health is, indeed, regenerating health. "Ego" system be damned.
-Infinite ammo supply crates.
-Duke is unusually weak. He begins to pant immediately after sprinting and in one instance needs to take out three empty barrels out of a minecart before being able to move it.
The demo has two levels. First one was pretty enjoyable and very Duke-like. Throwing feces, drawing on a whiteboard, kicking an alien's eyeball for a touchdown, etc. I actually enjoyed this level a lot, despite it being super short.
The second level is a mess. It's focused around variety, which it provides, but the execution is meh. There's that minecart example I gave earlier, but there's also things like a lack of lines or music. Duke makes a wisecrack once throughout the whole campaign ("I SURE COULD USE A CROWBAR RIGHT ABOUT NOW" while in front of a tunnel blocked with the Half-Life 2 traditional "three wood planks" defense) and the "thrilling escape" is nothing more than a silent minecart ride to the exit. No music, no silly Duke. Just you and a minute of a typical minecart track.
tl;dr it's very hit and miss.
The being out of shape bit strikes me as another in-joke concerning the status of the game; Duke's been out of the action for 12 years. And it's no wonder that the first level you play is reminiscint of Duke, it's an updated version of Duke 3D's final level for episode 3.
I haven't played it, but seen it played. The lifebar is supposed to increase when you interact with objects, but I don't think it'll go very far since it's a demo. That being said... I think what bothers me the most is that it's now a modern shooter, rather than a traditional shooter. Major damage from being hit, regenerating health, only two weapons and some explosives at the same time...
I was really hoping for a more traditional shooter, like Duke 3D.
