Yeah, I played Duke 3D on my Vita a year or two back, and it's mostly aged really well. I'd like to see a new instalment with lessons learned from that game.

No can kill streaks, or perks. But good fundamentals. Gunplay come from character, not tired stereotype and abstract idea like bullet time.

Just please don't do the same thing. Make Duke a has-been and have the game be about him becoming relevant again. That or just anything other than the usual 90s badass and pop culture references.
Oh I'm sure it will go well
This makes me like randy pitchford *more*

I for one loved all the Duke Nukem games. Even Forever was at worst a good time waster.

If it is that cancelled Duke remake thing that was made by third party getting published now I'd be happy.
DNF was a complete waste of time imo. DN3D is still million times better.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It can't be any worse than DNF ... can it ?
I agree, but I don't trust Gearbox to do anywhere near as well as id.

I could very much do with a Duke Nukem 3D HD remaster.
Are you listening, Gearbox?

Doom has no place in 2016 and I won't allow it.
See how dumb that sounds once the viability of a franchise has already been proven

Sure it does. It can be handled well in the right hands.
My face to you:
For real tho, there is no such thing as that IMO, you can adapt and improve any kind of IP to fit today's standards.

crash fans caping for their irrelevant 90s franchises
This is very important. Duke was insufferable in Forever. He was kind of a likeable lunkhead in 3D.
Gearbox doesn't have the chops to deliver that.
Could be the "new" Gearbox Studio in Quebec.

Honestly, I think a new Duke Nukem installment could work. I mean come on, y'all are celebrating this new DOOM game over here and yet you ain’t got room in your heart for one more good Duke Nukem?
That being said....I wouldn't want it developed by Gearbox.

Yes! And a great one at that. Play it to this day (via the Apogee collection on Steam; I think it is listed on GoG, too). I would gladly welcome a Duke pinball game.
I would welcome ANY new Duke game with open arms. I enjoyed my time with Forever. To heck with the naysayers trying to bury the Duke of Nukem!

It was, but it got delisted with all other Duke Nukem games on all digital distribution platforms. GOG had a great farewell sale back then, and I'm happy I bought that game - it's very solid.

I wonder how many flops Gearbox can handle before they're shuttered.

yaaaaaaay
Edit: I'm not against Duke getting another game but I don't believe Gearbox will deliver at all.

Anyways, how do you modernize duke nukem? the character is kinda obsolete, who could possibly write him just with the enough amount of self awareness that it doesn't come off as too strawman-ish but also that no one can mistake his misogynism as genuine?

Bring back the original Duke Nukem 3D to GOG. Gearbox. And I don't mean Duke 3D with a new source engine port. I mean the original DOS game.

I am catiously optimistic.
After all, what made Duke Nukem Forever a failure was 95% George Broussard's fault.
Gearbox only packed it together and sold it.
And lied about many features it didnt have

They need to write Duke like your one Dad's friend who still thinks it's the 80s and thinks he's the coolest shit cause he still wears a Members Only jacket and blasts Def Leppard out of his Camero.
It has gotta be the new episode/source port or whatever they were working on for Duke 3D. Jon St. John was recording new lines earlier this year.
Best case scenario, its that, and a reveal of a new THIRD PARTY Duke game. My personal preference: more interactivity, fantastic level design, and creative weaponry. Focus less on Duke. The easiest, most played out approaches would be to play up the outdatedness or how obnoxious he is. Do neither, and instead attempt to replicate what made people love Duke 3D in the first place.

I'd imagine make a game with good gunplay, but I'd rather them do more Wolfenstein or turn their talent towards a new IP.
This combined to how other characters reacted to Sgt. Cortez in Time Splitters: Future Perfect could be a good way.
Duke should be Badass and Capable in combat, but dumb and full of machismo in anything else with everyone around him showing absolute no respect for him and him being unaware that he's coming off as lame.
