Because he DNF.
also current politics.

Cause timmy tencent is a raging doucher.

because forever was objectively terrible

IMO it had more to do with Randy fucking Pitchford than DNF or Politics.

honestly i dont think any one could do him justice even without the whole "politics" shit

Just make him gritty akin to Daniel Craig James Bond. Duke was supposed to be an action movie homage, not a parody despite what DNF turned him and the world around him into.

He's a relic of the past. A product of a different time.

How exactly would you bring him to this era?

Like I just said.
Duke should be a womanizer and still make one-liners, but I'd make him less of an Austin Powers wannabe, as if they wanted to go with that direction: They'd need actual writers good at that, and the problem is: Duke Nukem Forever was full of hackery with it's humor.

Time to kill remake

time to kill could of been good. the ideas were solid but that tank movement and tomb raider
engine

We're too far removed from the movies that inspired Duke Nukem in the first place. It makes sense for a low budget indie game, but not something that's supposed to be a AAA game that most AAA players won't even understand.

RIP Duke

Literally just because Randy exists.
Until he dies or someone saves Douk from that faggot's hands then nothing noteworthy will ever get released.

This is as close as your gonna get. Not quite the same as a proper Duke game but overall it was pretty good

Duke has always been a parody in itself
He would still fit in regardless the political climate, Jon St. John is a polar opposite of him and very liberal and he still loves voicing him

This Randy does not want to make any video games including pic rel... besides Tranny Lands.

Bro, the series ended with X
Unless they keep remaking the old games, or remake 2 again like 1 and 3, he isn’t supposed to be getting any more “new” games.

>Jon St. John is a polar opposite of him
it didn't use to be like that, like all feeble minds he was poisoned by the woke virus sometime after 2012
his twatter is fucking depressing to look at

Social justice hit video games pretty much right when DNF came out. I remember being confused people were getting so upset by "capture the babe" and the whole twins getting knocked up with aliens thing at the time. I was like it's Duke, what do these people expect? Good taste and strong female role models? This is the way it's supposed to be, that's the whole premise. Boy did I have a lot to learn.

I read these in Douk's voice and you know what? I'd play it.

>Knee on his neck? How about my boot up your ass!

To be fair, the first half of DNF was spent trying to rescue the twins and having Duke joke about the whole thing when they get exploded by the birthing aliens was in poor taste and really out of character for Duke.

A woman wrote DNF and she has never talked to a man to any degree.
This game is not mean spirited towards Duke, it is mean spirited towards humanity for how awful it is.

Broussard sucked a fat one, sharted out 3DRealms and then the Duke died. True story.
Now even Apogee's Miller wants nothing to do with the Swedes who bought the naming rights.
True stories, men. True stories.

Just make him homo

blacked + faggot. there is no choice.

what was it like in the 2000s seeing your favourite game franchises getting turned into shit?

Women will never understand how Duke is supposed to be portrayed.

Played Deus Ex, didn't care.
Still play it today. Awesum gaym. Shits on the usual suspects and isn't afraid of white men.

SSam Siberian Mayhem; exists
basically the Duke we deserved. And he is a Serb.

Duke is to Doomguy as Sonic is to Mario
Always has been second hand trash

Thats a good one to be honest

spoken like a true retard. zoom off to another thread.
(duke was HUGE back then)

3DRealms went broke and then went woke by selling the right to Randy Bobandy. What's not to understand you dumb mutts use your fucking minibrains next time before posting dumb SHIT like this

>Uses RPG
>Heh heh, looks like black lives splatter.

>One of the only games I'd actually would call legitimately misogynistic is written by women
You can't make this shit up lmao

2000's wasn't TOO bad, 2010's is where it REALLY went to shit

I think the moment my hope for games finally died was seeing Thief 2014

Duke Nukem the character predates Doomguy by two years.
Duke has also had only a few FPS game. Most of his games have been third person and side scrollers.

duke has had 2 fps games, 3 if you count duke nukem advance
namely 3d (+ expansions) and DNF
the rest is either TPP or sidescrollers
the last good duke game came out in 2002

>3DRealms went broke and then went woke by selling the right to Randy Bobandy
the really sad part is that at the time this didn't seem like a bad idea
Borderlands 1 was OK, Randy had historically worked on DN3D (most notably the atomic edition episode "The Birth"), and the future looked bright for Gearbox during this period

it's only after that we realized how much of a mistake it was, with Randy being a fucking scumbag behind the scene (this was the period where he stole Sega's Aliens Colonial Marines funding and embezzled it into Borderlands 2) and then turning into a huge SJW to virtue signal after he got caught with "barely legal" porn

also I will keep saying this forever: Gearbox DID NOT FINISH DNF, all they did was cut out everything that wasn't 90% finished by 3DR, replace Bombshell with a terribly unfunny Gear of War parody character, and cut the game in half to vaguely repurpose the latter half of the game as paid DLC later

fuck gearbox and fuck Randy pitchford

Not "safe" enough for today's climate. If they did another one Duke would be toned right the fuck down.

old-school seems to have grown popular thanks to the Doom Reboot, and Microsoft seems eager to bring back dead franchises. maybe we'll get a new Duke sooner or later

I think it was spearheaded by wolf TNO, but the "le retro boomer shooters" are almost all garbage, because they seem to forget that it was the gameplay that made old shooters great, not being low poly/brown/2.5D
out of the bunch ironically enough project warlock holds up the best, followed by wrath (or at least what little was made of it)
everyone is sucking dusk/ae/ion maiden dick but these games just don't fucking GET IT

QC and UT4 seemed pretty promising, shame devs abandoned them

QC is such a tragic story, I remember getting into the very first closed beta and having a fucking blast
and then they opened the sluice gates and everything went to shit

Ironic. Duke was the big-mouthed, shit talinkg mutt. And just like Amurka, that big mouth vanished into nothing and nothing of value was lost.

If they ever make another Duke game I just hope they won't reuse the same aliens again. Come up with a new threat.

Dusk isn't brown, it's also miles above Warlock, which is just room after room of monsters, not even good arenas like in DE, just rooms.

It's only been eleven years since the last release my man, that means it's another two before one comes out.
It'll probably be very similar to Doom 2016 or Shadow Warrior 3 hopefully if it ever comes oout

>tfw every franchise dook mocked stayed relevant longer than he did

funnily enough, when you look at it, DNF is very similar to nu-dooms, albeit with much more drawn out bullshit non-shooting segments

oh yeah, fucking ammo crates too

>>arena-style combat
it didn't have that
>>bosses that you can really only effectively damage with select few weapons
DE doesn't have that
>>inventory items
DE doesn't have that and D3D does

Fun fast Yahtzee Croshaw wrote a draft for DNF but it was rejected because it contained too self aware humor that was making fun of Duke.

Reminds me there was an interview that stated Duke was a very serious character. Can't for the life of me remember who said it, but it was probably Pitchford.

you didn't play the game
try killing any boss without hotswapping to plasma/ballista/rockets
what is crucible, grenades, flamethrower, blood punch
de is an okay game, not the savior of fps
stop sucking its dick zoomer

>try killing any boss without hotswapping to plasma/ballista/rockets
some weapons do more damage in DE like in any FPS ever, meanwhile DNF has enemies that can only be damaged by explosives

>what is crucible, grenades, flamethrower, blood punch
none of those are items. Crucible is a weapon with rare ammo, grenades and flamethrower are cooldowns, blood punch is fueled by GKs.
>stop sucking its dick zoomer
a guy who thinks DE invented inventory in FPS calls me a zoomer, sweet

>none of these are items because... because cooldowns
irrelevant, they're hotkey items
>a guy who thinks DE invented inventory in FPS calls me a zoomer, sweet
oh cool, so you're resorting to strawmen now lmao
fuck off kid

items: you find them, they go in the inventory. You use them, they're lost

like Tome of Power in Heretic

grenades, flame belch, blood punch: it's a permanent upgrade, you get it in the campaign and they're always with you and you can use them infinite amount of times

tl;dr you dum

According to Wikipedia, he was a designer for DN3d, so perhaps that explains why they felt comfortable working with him.

>redefines what hotkey items are as a last resort
lmao get fucked

crucible is literally just a superweapon like bfg, you can run around with it and attack monsters/air

might as well call bfg and item. or duke's shotgun idk

This will be your only (you).
I'm here to tell you that your attempt to troll was pretty pathetic. Too bold, too upfront, and the 'mutt' thing doesn't offend people the way you thought it does.
Be more subtle next time.

bfg still eats ammo when you shoot it
the crucible does not
either way it's irrelevant

>the crucible does not
When it doesn't hit the enemy yeah, because that would be just cruel on a melee weapon

bought the BIA series the other day
surprised it was by gearbox
seems too gritty and un-cucked to be a gearbox game

YOU ALIEN BASTARDS SHOT DOWN MY RIDE

George Broussard believed that Duke was supposed to be a serious macho man. And I 100% agree because it's way better sounding and funnier than the goofy persona he has nowadays.

Here's a clip from a build from 2009 with a line that remained in the final game in a re-recorded form: youtube.com/watch?v=GjOE8shhaRk&t=7s

Here's the same voice clip in the final game with different delivery: youtube.com/watch?v=lycdj_0b4Kg&t=15m12s

The same can be applied to the recent release of Duke Nukem 3D. All the rerecorded lines sound horrible compared to the original when it comes to delivery. basically 3D Realms directed every voice session and had Jon St. John grind his teeth while Gearbox let him loose in the voice booth because "he knows Duke".

yeah but can doomfag or whatever they call him in nu-doom race around drop kicking monsters like duke nukem could?
no?
then it's sadly going BACKWARDS in development
