Gearbox is putting together the Duke Nukem Forever credits.  they want to honor everyone who worked on the game, but it sounds like they don't have complete records, so they're asking people to raise their hands.

the ESRB rating:

ating: Mature

Content descriptors: Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Mature Humor, Nudity, Strong Language, Strong Sexual Content, Use of Drugs and Alcohol

Rating summary:

This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of Duke Nukem, an action hero who must save Earth from invading aliens. Players use pistols, rail guns, shotguns, explosives, and Duke's bare hands to attack and kill the alien enemies. The majority of gameplay involves destroying these enemies in frenetic gun and laser battles in order to move on to the next section. Aliens are often decapitated or dismembered when hit, sending large splashes of blood across the ground, surrounding walls, and players' screen. Some sequences depict more 'over-the-top' instances of violence: aliens getting stabbed in the head or impaled; a human soldier bursting into bloody gibs after being tossed through propeller blades. In one sequence, players have the ability to shoot human characters that are trapped in pod-like alien webbing; bodies explode into pieces upon impact. During the course of the game, players enter a strip-club level and view several topless dancers and receive lap dances. A couple of missions within this level require players to recover sex toys and pictures of topless women. A few sequences strongly imply sexual acts: two women appear to perform fellatio on the central character (e.g., raising their heads from his lap)—though there is no actual depiction of the sex act; Duke moans and leans up against the wall of a bathroom stall (furnished with a hole)—it is implied that a sex act (not depicted) occurs. The game also contains several sexual references and innuendo in the dialogue (e.g., 'I have hungry—you have big egg ro' for me, Duke,' 'If you supply the dancing, I'll supply the pole,' and 'I'll need something naughty to play with.'). Duke's comments range from jokes about colon cleansing to several one-liners about sex and female body parts. Bathroom humor includes the ability to urinate in toilets or urinals and/or pick up feces from toilets and throw it against walls. Players can use both steroid pills and beer as power-ups; when beer is consumed, the screen temporarily blurs. The words 'f**k,' 'sh*t,' 'c*ck,' and 'a*shole' appear in dialogue and on-screen text.

my world is now complete.

It's a CeeKaySim.

I heard about the feces stuff in an interview, where the guy being interviewed was talking enthusiastically about it. It's one of those random, incredibly juvenile things that suddenly become funny when you encounter them in the game, I suspect. To a large part because when you pick up the turd, Duke says: "Why the hell am I doing this?".

[Daehawk]

While I was picking up Dragon Age 2 my wife put $10 down on the CE for Duke Forever for me. They gave me a code for the beta demo. Not got around to it yet. im tired.

they can use it for marketing:  do whatever you want with sharer you find!

[CeeKay]

Just had a thought:  I wonder if they're pushing for this to go gold on April 1st....

[CeeKay]

want to party with Duke's Babes?

multiplayer modes. 

DNF's multiplayer is being developed by little-known Canadian studio Piranha. Its list of credits include PSP games Medal of Honor: Heroes 2 and Need for Speed: Undercover, PC title Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza and MechWarrior.

[The Rocketman]

Sadly no cooperative mode it seems  . I don't get why games don't include it, everyone likes a good cooperative game...

ROFL - at least they have a funny attitude about it. I'm still getting the CE of this when(ever) it comes out.

[Daehawk]

It really hit home how long this game has been a work in progress for me today. I was watching a internet video and it showed the white Bronco car chase of OJ fame. That's when I remembered that the original Duke had that chase playing on the tv set in the bar INSIDE the first Duke Nukem 3D game. WOW. It was big news then. Seeing it in Duke back then was a hoot I tell ya. And to remember that...ya it's been a long time. When exactly was that????

The OJ/Bronco thing was in '94.  Duke 3D was released in '96.  And yes, that is a hell of a long time ago.

It was so long ago, that had Simpson been convicted, he'd be getting out of prison about now.

[CeeKay]

Duke's gone gold!

Spoiler for Hiden:

April Fools!

damn, won't be able to use that one again.

What would Duke do? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGTtGxaI-PE

Heh would be funny if there'd be some comment to that effect. Like, "Holy Hell, I think I remember that white Bronco from the last time those Aliens pissed me off."

Honestly though, I'm starting to feel like I'd be embarrassed playing this game.

c'mon Rumpy, what's there to be embarrassed about?  haven't you always wanted to grab some chick and slap her ass after painting the walls with poo? 

[CeeKay]

they released a bunch of screenshots today.

[CeeKay]

if you can't get enough Duke then there's some podcasts out about who Duke is, his history and shit that goes boom.

MP preview.  doesn't sound very promising.

[CeeKay]

mini-Duke anyone?

[CeeKay]

Demo!  June 3rd!

[EngineNo9]

Demo!  June 3rd!

Cool, at least it comes out before the game does.

[Hrothgar]

I think that's the 'first access' demo.  The general release demo will probably be later.

[EngineNo9]

Yeah, but I bought Borderlands so that applies to me. 

[Purge]

So that gets you a demo for a game released a week later.

I'm going to go with sad cat is sad. They could have dropped the demo way earlier (like May 1, 15, etc).

I owned Borderlands already, so it's not so bad - but it ain't something to write home about.... or even just calling home.
