Please note I mean Duke Nukem Forever... not Duke... not Duke Nukem...and certainly not the entire Duke Nukem franchise. I am not talking about the past achievements of the franchise, or what it stood for, or what it might do for PC gaming one day. I am just comparing what Paris Hilton does to make the news with what DNF does to make the news, which is absolutely nothing.
Honestly, I am really f___ing tired of hearing about the game. Whenever someone involved with that intellectual property so much as breaks wind, the game is in the news as if it were the second coming of Christ. I mean ask yourself, is there anything substantial you've seen regarding the game's development?
Paris Hilton makes the news for activities that are totally meaningless, even in the paper thin celebrity gossip world, which says a lot. Every time I am tricked into reading an article about Paris Hilton, I end up wondering what it was that made it newsworthy.
With DNF, it could be the dev team hiring an artist to paint their respective ball sacks, or someone leaking a useless sprite, or some other meaningless shit. The fact is that none of these news items report anything substantial on when the game is going to be released, what it is going to look like, how it will innovate, and how much it is going to kick ass.
After having read at least a 100 different reports on DNF over the past few years, I expect to have some idea on the game.
Even this trailer thing, which I refuse to watch, isn't really an official trailer is it? It was some developers idea of a Christmas joke or something right?
Take a look at a highly anticipated game like StarCraft II. While there have been a couple of inane reports involving domain registrations and job postings, the game's development has been largely kept under wraps. Blizzard didn't leak anything till there was something to show, and fans responded to that.
Yet while you can't say if DNF will come in the next decade, you can say that there will plenty of other useless news items on the project. Currently 3D realms seem to have a talent for making the news with useless antics, like Paris Hilton. I suppose this could mean they are attention seeking whores, and we should be looking for "leaked" footage using night vision.
