Between clips of Duke urinating and shooting flying pigs, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford says he feels both "gratified and humbled" to be a part of the experience of bringing Duke Nukem Forever to gamers.

After a long wait--and a recent, shorter wait--Duke Nukem Forever is just around the corner. You can hear the excitement in Pitchford's voice in the PR-released "interview" video 2K Games sent over earlier today.

Either Duke Nukem will be exactly what gamers have expected, or Pitchford is gleefully and diabolically hatching his invasion of Hell when the underworld finally freezes on June 14 (June 10, internationally) due to the game's actual release.

            I would but it wouldn't fit.

            "Newish Duke Footage for you to fap to because this is Shacknews and you're going to buy it and you know it"

            What about...

      I have found that the more developers 'talk' about their video games, the shitty they are. Why is this? The game can't speak for themselves.

        Randy is such a straight shooter though, he would never lie or release a game in an unfinished state it would be against all he stands for.

          . . .And my sister thinks her baby is the cutest baby in the world . . .

          I have never met Randy, and he seems nice and all, but I am sure his opinion is more than a little biased.

        pretty much every high profile title these days has a lot of dev talk (between interviews and other videos) - surely they aren't all shit.

          Yes. I agree.

          But to my original post, there must be some correlation between x (total amount of time dev's run their mouths) and y (overall quality of product).

          No they all are. Clearly you know nothing about the games industry.

            Well dahanese is responsible for every aspect of every game ever, so her opinion might be a little biased.

        That's a pretty fair metric

          I would add, it's not always the quantity in which they talk about it, more like the frequency and time before launch.

          The longer that period is, the worse the game is.

        I kinda agree, but not sure if it fits here since 3D realms did most of the work on this game, like he's often mentioned himself, so most of the stuff he's talking about is that he saw at 3D realms or things they are doing finishing the game ironing bugs and that

      Guy from work played Duke, Gears 3 and Crysis 2 at the Gadget show live. He was generally positive despite encountering bugs (sometimes weapons would disappear when switched, couldn't find ammo for rpg, game wouldn't end etc). Visuals were 'acceptable' and the Duke character was amusing (hadn't played the original). Would wait for a review before buying.

      this game makes me feel old:(See when it was announced I was actually young.With the release pending it feels like half my life passed by while this was being developed.

      Happy to see it come out but sobering to think about how old I should been when it should have been released on 4 different engines previous....

      When talked about DN3D gameplay features that need to be in DNF, I notice he never mentions jet packs. So I guess they are out?

        Yeah they mentioned that jetpacks were multiplayer only a while ago
