Apparently there isnt regenerating health in the normal sense, you have an ego bar that you can fill back up by doing awesome things. (Killing a big boss, lifting weights, probably strippers.)
because if it "looks like borderlands" then it's clearly not revolutionary enough to blow all of our fucking minds like a game with a decade plus dev time ought to!
Plus people just see a desert and a vehicle and gearbox in an FPS and they're like OMG BORDERLANDS
3/9-2010. The day i bet on duke. I still cant believe it, this is a historic event, someone need to mark this day on wikipedias year summary or something.

I think Shadow Warrior did something to that effect.

Ah yes, hopefully Shadow Warrior comes back in some way eventually.

So the fun interactive elements serve a purpose to gameplay?

mmm.... I'd kill for a Shadow Warrior that played like Jedi Knights 3. Bonus if Chuck Norris is a playable character.

I thought some of the previous Duke games had done the same thing?
Before getting hands-on time with Duke Nukem Forever, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford talked to us about how Gearbox became a part of the Duke saga. After some persuasion, Gearbox was offered the keys to the beleaguered game (it has existed in the ether 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."
Hahaha Randy Pitchford is the coolest guy on the face of the planet.

I am literally seething with rage right now. I was supposed to be at PAX and got screwed out of it at the last moment. I could have been playing with Duke's Balls of Steel as we speak.

I think you mean to say that his wife is the coolest person on the face of the planet.

Pitchford definitely has his moments, but that's the best thing I've read in a long, long time.
still waiting for that one ballsy developer to release a new game in an acclaimed franchise by going to a convention
"and yes here's the first footage of mario exxtreme"
*trailer plays*
"on shelves tomorrow"
This already happened with some console ages ago. No idea which though.
Sega... Saturn maybe?
Footage shown at E3, then the guy says "available now!" but nobody knew, and retailers were caught off guard.
Yep!
Quote from Wikipedia:
*snip*
Ouch!
A surprise release like that would work for a singular game. Console -- not so much as evident.
True story: I didn't know the Saturn existed until several years after release. Even then I was skeptical, because I never actually saw one and all mention of it was attached to "my friend's cousin" or "my brother's girlfriend in Canada."

That rather funny joke has been making the rounds. I doubt his wife actually said it, since he picked up the project before anyone knew what a Chilean miner was.

I don't even know how this is possible.
But yeah, firing up duke nukem 3D later to celebrate. But first: work.

Granted, most of my gaming news came out of Nintendo Power.
i am interested in this, more out of morbid curiosity than anything else i guess. does anyone actually think this game has a prayer of being good at this point? we'll see i guess.
It's Gearbox, so I expect it'll at least be pretty good, and almost definitely playable and fun.
There is pretty much no way even remotely possible it will be "thirteen year development period" good however, and I still stand by that the franchise is pretty well past its expiration date to begin with. Duke Nukem is a parody of a film genre and characters that pretty much haven't even existed for the past decade.

They are banking on that nostalgia of that era, I dont think its a big deal.
First person shooter games have recently become so rote that I fully expect a game that has been in development for 13 years to seem fresh compared to them.

All right, people. It is not a gerbil. It is not a hamster. It is not a guinea pig. It is a death rabbit. Death. Rabbit. Say it with me, now.
Well, at least there's no fear of Gearbox being unable to preserve the tone of a Duke Nukem game...
That.... is fuckin hilarious. And awesome.
Edit: Beaten like a tired internet meme.
I still say "Shake it, Baby!" at reasonably appropriate times.
