Randy Pitchford (that asshole) is responsible for all that bullcrap which got released after Duke 3D (well, mostly, there were some decent titles, but nothing like original Duke 3D). Duke Nukem's IP had plain nightmare, when 3D Realms had trouble with money and they couldn't afford to develop anything proper. As soon as Gearbox bought the rights to the Duke Nukem name, everything went downfall. Thanks to Gearbox, original Duke Nukem Forever build is lying on 3D Realms servers untouched and gathering dust simply because Gearbox Software don't give the permission to do so. Even 3D Realms admitted that they wanted to release original build to the public, even if it isn't completely finished. Knowing the community of Duke Nukem games, fans would fix it. But yeah, that remains to be seen...

But I want an "Old Man Duke" Grey Flat-Top and 5 0'Clock shadow. (He still has the same personality) He is pretty much forgotten and disliked by everybody and replaced by Super Heroes (Just like how Super Heroes have Replaced The Action Heroes Duke is a Parody of). The Heroes Even make peace with the Alien Species. However (Just like Duke Predicts) The Aliens stab the Super Heroes in the back (Killing some, Capturing the rest and invading earth) and Duke Saves the day 1 last time and dies at the end. To add to Dukes Parody/Satire Personality you can call it Duke Nukem: EndGame (Because its the Last one) And if it's successful You can always bring Duke Nukem Back to Life like Frankenstein's' Monster Treatment. Call him "Franken-Duke" or "Nukem-Stein" just make it a fun corny stupid game like it should.

I feel like all you would have to do to make Duke work as a character is to make the entire film a satire of itself and its tropes. Kinda like the first Expendables film only a bit moreso. I think Yahtzee even said that he would give Duke a character arc where he's a man outside of time that doesn't know how to exist in a world that needs his skills but won't tolerate his behavior, leading to an existential crisis for Duke. Do those things and hire a team that can do good single-player game design + graphics and I'm sure that game would do very well.

[@AllardRT]

How about "no"? Seriously, this post-modern self-aware meta bull has gotten *old*. Really old. It's as old as it is *easy*, and every jackoff with an English degree and an open TVTropes tab can do it in their sleep. And everyone does, that's why you can barely find anything sincere anymore. Here's a challenge: play it straight and still make it work.

[@keithrichmond4390]

@@AllardRT Agreed. I understand what Thuazabi is saying, but if you think about it, an existential crisis doesn't work at all with Duke. Sure he might recognize the fact that society needs his skills but doesn't like his behavior, but he would just make a joke about it and continue to do what he's gonna do. THAT is a very Duke Nukem thing to do. The whole "pity poor me, gonna take a stroll through the rain" thing, yeah, that's not Duke.

[@Damocles178]

The first thing that needs to happen is Duke Nukem needs to be given to developers that actually care enough to do something with the franchise. The Shadow Warrior reboot certainly enjoyed success. Having said that the developers did not rely on dated jokes. With enough creative input maybe Duke Nukem could be made great again in a new game. Another thing would of course be making the gameplay and levels as fun as they were in the days of Duke 3D. Would I go near Forever again? Nah. Do I still sometimes play 3D? Yes. Still fun to this day; not to mention the endless great content from the fan-base. I've played many games over the years but Duke 3D is that one game I keep an eye on. As it stands Duke Nukem lives through the fan-base. If a new game never comes out; we'll always have the immortal Duke Nukem 3D.

The problem with Duke Nukem Forever, among many others, is that it didn't represent Duke's character or style of humor well at all. Just play it back to back with Duke Nukem 3D and you'll be surprised at just how much more obnoxious, annoying, stupid and just downright nasty Forever is. Duke doesn't really need to "evolve for modern times". He just needs to go back to the way he used to be in his best game.

As we said in our video, Duke has 3 main adversaries that he is gonna have to overcome. Those adversaries are History, Relevance and Randy Pitchford. Giving the Duke back to 3D Realms could be a good move now that Take Two is no longer tied to the franchise but the Duke needs fans to forget about DNF and move on. He's also not a PC character so either reinvent the character or wait for the 90's era to repeat itself in present day when the snowflakes who have taken on sentient life melt away. I personally would love to see Duke from the 3D era clash with the original incarnation from Duke Nukem 1 almost like what they did with Mortal Kombat 11 bring the two Dukes together to fight the ultimate threat or make some spin-off games that take place in the Duke Nukem universe. I would also like to see the Neo LA concept return which they dropped in Duke Nukem 3D. Maybe make the Duke a little more futuristic with enhanced and unconventional weapons as well as enemies

Gearbox should just sell Duke Nukem to ID Software. Right now the only thing Gearbox ever cares about anymore is pumping out endless Borderlands stuff, and selling Duke to ID would probably (in their minds) free up even more money and hard drive space to devote to even more Borderlands. However, the thing that I think the Duke franchise needs is for it to return to it's older, more serious roots from DN3D. One of Forever's fatal flaws was making the universe a goofy 'funhouse mirror.' Duke needs a serious world for his style of humor snd quips to work, otherwise the whole premise falls flat and looks cringey and juvenile. I would also remove the sex pest stuff from Forever and develop more the personality from 3D. Yes Duke is a hedonist, but it honestly was not his whole personality. He also had a battle mentality and an action hero mentality when stuff got serious. He wasn't just quipping about dicks all of the time. Lastly, I would be updating the classic enemies of the game to be more intimidating and badass to fight. Gone would be the goofy pig gorillas of Forever, I'd have the piggies from Manhattan Project. To me, they looked like efficient, highly trained professionals who could quickly and efficiently end a threat, especially the SWAT guys with their black riot gear, and automatic weapons, so I would want to feel like what I face could legit game end me easily. Duke may be a badass, but he needs to work for his badassery. And that's just some of the stuff. Plus more open world levels with many different locations and objectives. That stuff in a nutshell, basically.

[@keithrichmond4390]

I've been thinking very similar thoughts to yours. More than anything DN3D understood how to handle all the things forever dropped the ball on. The way DN3D handled Duke's womanizing was great. Developer's take note: You'll notice throughout the game that you can tip strippers and the occasional prostitute. It can be assumed that these women probably aren't the nicest bunch of ladies on the block. Some of the strippers will shake there tits at you if you pay them and the prostitutes will tap one foot impatiently. You'll also notice during the cutscene at the end of episode 3 that its implied that Duke and a lady friend (who sounds like she's pretty vapid and slutty) hook up for the evening. There's also the pornstars in episode 4 who seem to smile at Duke then whisper something to each other. Meaning to be derived: Its ok because the women in the game that line up for a Duking (if ya know what I mean) are there because they are the types of women that go after a guy like Duke. They are empty headed and sleazy.

On top of that, I doubt the game would get shit on that hard by SJWs (and i think people would come to the game's defense).

Too many sensitive people and EFFEMINATE men in the world today for DUKE NUKEM💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@avielthealienfromplanetmex5679]

you forget Duke Nukem Planet of The Babes

[@shawngorsuch9393]

Planet of the babes was my favorite

[@tomwimmenhove4652]

Just keep the game exactly the same and release new maps with new villains. I'd play the shit out of it :)

[@gargantuan4696]

A new Duke NukeM would make feminist heads literally explode

[@tgon13]

Duke will return, I have faith but they need a new developer. Someone like MachineGames or possibly the new ID team. #DukeLivesOn

[@dibberz-v1z]

machine games would ruin duke

[@MegaBigmandan]

If Duke nukem is bad I'd like to see what deadpool is gonna be like in a few years people need to stop being so afend over something so small and I loved that game when I was a kid and I loved the latest version If Duke nukem was real he would of stormed area 51 and kicked every alien scums ass haha

[@PurpleTomDayR]

They never gave up on Duke nukem. It's just gonna take another three years

[@edvin97ful]

I hope Bethesda buys the rights for Duke. The series can't die with a mediocre game like the one we got. I said Bethesda because they were the ones to reboot DOOM and Wolfenstein. They did a pretty good job....with DOOM, at least.

[@VanTemplar]

In order for Duke to succeed, the franchise needs to be sold by Gearbox to a more competent game studio, such as id Software.

[@jyotishkabhaduri7551]

He will come back to Kick some ass and chew bubblegum But We need to wait

[@blissridden]

you’re telling me duke is offensive and yet. Wolfenstein is literally about nazis

[@dibberz-v1z]

well with they are ok with wolfenstein because you are killing nazis plus since the the new colossus wolfenstein has become ultra woke, depicting the nazis as trump supporters by making them say the same thing trump supporters say, and depict the soviets and black panthers as the "righteous" saviors of the world not to mention making bj a supporting character who rarely makes an appearance and is now a weak soy boi instead of the macho badass protagonist we used to love

[@Plederck]

Duke: damn i don't look good

[@milosmisic89]

The new Duke should tone down the douchyness and lewdness and focus on him being a badass action hero. In DN 3d the hoes and sexy stuff were a really small part of the experience. I think that's what Duke Nukem Forever forgot. There Duke was more or a womanizing egomaniac who somehow fell into this saving the world business than a badass hero who happens to like the company of girls. For a new Duke game I say make him start at his lowest like an old relic drinking in a bar when the aliens attack so he is forced to take up arms and kind of a John MacLane situation being the right guy at the wrong place and time. And then the game can maybe take Duke to the alien homeworld. Like saving the people taken. Maybe that can even be open world. No seedy bars no big titty hoes. Just a badass hero taking aliens down.

[@Rayjockey]

This is probably the answer to the father figure many did not get! 🤙 Duke don't roll with 2021..or is it 2021 that don't roll well with Duke Nukem? ! 💪💪💪 👊👊👊

[@scottieman2]

3D is my favorite game of Duke.

[@timur5241]

Duke Nukem can learn something from Doom

[@comicbookprodigy995]

Duke should just honestly be added to another game. Borderlands would work.

[@dillvoorhees189]

what about duke nukem 20th anniversary

[@KaruSnep]

20th anniversary is still 2d and just a polished version of Duke nukem world tour

[@georgecharleston2597]

Comically long development time and disappointing on release? I can think of a recent game that falls under the same description

[@dibberz-v1z]

cyberpunk

[@laslobuckington874]

@@dibberz-v1z that was mostly cause the fans rushed it instead of letting them finish

Less sexual innuendos would be a good start. Give Duke some sort of dilemma he needs to work out emotionally. And NO not E.D!
