Duke Nukem Forever is Not Bulls--t

The great vaporware saga of Duke Nukem looks to be coming to a close. At PAX this morning, 2K and Gearbox turned gamers loose on the first stage of Duke Nukem Forever. Let me repeat that for the non-believers: Duke Nukem Forever is real and it is an actual playable game. I half-expect to now to see Sasquatch walking down Pike Street in downtown Seattle.

Before getting hands-on time with Duke Nukem Forever, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford talked to us about how the developer became a part of the Duke saga. After some persuasion, Gearbox was offered the keys to the beleaguered game (it has existed in one form or another for over a decade) and Pitchford jumped at the chance. "To us, it felt like Duke can't die," said Pitchford. The Gearbox boss also related his wife's insistence that he take up Duke's cause and that if he succeeded in making it happen, she'd give him – and this a direct quote – a "Chilean Miner." She would "go down the shaft and stay 'til Christmas."

Pork remembers when the characters in first person shooters were just 1 big fat pixel.

The graphics were not what they are today but the gameplay was so much fun.

Duke Nukem Forever will include Dukematch, Team Dukematch, Capture the Babe and Hail to the King.

Scans from an upcoming issue of the Official Xbox Magazine have spilled the beans in regards to what we'll see from the multiplayer portion of Duke Nukem Forever. Although the list of details stem from the Xbox 360 version, most of the features are likely to be found in the PC version as well although we expect to see more than just eight players max in any given match.

According to the article, multiplayer will include Dukematch (deathmatch), Team Dukematch (team deathmatch), Capture the Babe (capture the flag) and Hail to the King (King of the Hill). While the others appear to be standard modes, Capture the Babe offers a unique twist on the classic capture the flag, requiring gamers to steal the "babe" from the other team. Sometimes she doesn't go quietly, forcing the "carrier" to give her a smack to quiet her down
