All these years as vaporware and now it is finally real!

Yep, I KNOW the end of the world is coming for sure now! 

[Sir Edward]

Ya, I know, crazy isn't it? When the company folded, I figured that was it... all hope was lost. Then these guys bought up all the rights and materials, and said that with a hard push for maybe 6 to 12 months, it would be possible to finish the project. I was skeptical, of course. But it looks like they might actually have been able to do it!

This is really messing with my understanding of the universe. I think my brain will implode when I start playing it, or something, because it's destroying my reality.

[Sir Ancelyn]

Your brain won't implode, but it might be permanently disrupted. The makers would kill you, but that would be against their religion, interrupting suffering that is. ;-)

[Sir Wolf]

woohoo cant wait cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sir William]

I remember being so stoked about this game when I first heard it was coming along but I have little patience for games that spend as long in developmental hell like this one has.  I fear the inane and juvenile humor isn't going to cut it for me anymore.

[Sir Brian]

My dear Sir William, there is ALWAYS time for inane and juvenile humor! 

[Sir William]

No argument there...but I'm a little salty that it took this long.  More than likely I will play it...but it isn't on my list anymore of games I gotta have. 

[Sir Wolf]

i showed the video to Sir Ace. he and I used to play Duke in his basement in my high school years. man he was excited to finally see this too!

[Sir Brian]

I use to play death match against one of my employees via modem. We still get a laugh out of some of our more epic battles. It is surprising just how deviously innovative you can get with those pipe bombs and laser trip mines! 

[Sir Wolf]

i hope they still have co-op

[Sir Edward]

I just love how the teaser ends... something like this:

Female voice: "Duke, is the game any good?"

Duke: "After twelve fucking years, it should be!"

Ahhh, the good ole days...we used to 'test the network' by playing death match on Quake III: Arena...and the VP was an avid gamer so he was onboard too.  That, and BattleZone was another good 'network test app'.  lol

[Sir James A]

Up is down! Left is right! Squares are round! The world makes no sense any more!

I vaguely remember the original so, so long ago. The only memories I have of it the last few years are from the sound clips on the Youtube videos of people annoying other people on Ventrilo. I wonder what this one will spur?

[Sir William]

LOL @ Sir James...that's pretty much how I remember it.  I can recall playing only once...I remember being fond of Doom at the time so I was biased.  I think I'm telling on myself now.  lol

[Sir Edward]

I played a lot more Doom than I care to admit. Duke 3D was great fun though, and I played through it several times. I'm tempted to see if I can get my copy up and running again and give it a shot before the new one comes out (assuming it actually is coming out).
