Live demo footage and it looks awesome.

That demo footage doesn't look too bad.

Looks alright, not ridiculously amazing though. Then again we still are yet to see barely any of the features so.......

lol? It was like the intro boss fight; there was hardly enough there to say anything about the game.

If you set your expectations too high you will undoubtedly be disappointed. So instead, try to dial it back and just be excited that a new Duke game is coming from a good developer.

How the FUCK does Duke taking a piss look awesome?

2K has announced that those who purchase the Game of the Year Edition of Borderlands will receive a membership to the Duke Nukem First Access Club, giving purchasers a key to an early playable demo of Duke Nukem Forever. The key will also provide users with a “wealth of goodies”. No word on what the extra goodies are, or when the demo will be made available, but it will be released “prior to the retail launch of the game” in 2011. Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition ships on October 12 for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 and includes all four bits of DLC.

Kotaku's article about this game trying for an M rating

Just in case everyone didn't know, Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition comes with early access to the Duke Nukem Forever demo whenever the demo is finally released. All Steam Borderlands owners also get early access to the PC demo, regardless of buying the GOTY Edition.

I just signed up for the early access club with the code from buying Borderlands on Steam. Thank you Gearbox!

No word on Amazon or BestBuy, unfortunately.

Also, here are some recent previews:

• GameSpot
• IGN
• Joystiq

Haha dang eastx! I made a DNF thread here last week, surprised thinking no one had yet, but you got the jump on it so early it just practically disappeared!

Holy . Looks like I am preordering from Wal-Mart. I want that trucker hat.

Duke Nukem is by far considered a classic now it was a great game but, you have to consider the graphic transformation we only know duke as a piece of cardboard. Im curious to see whether or not they can pull it off and bring him to the modern day gamer and still kick ass and chew bubble gum that is if he has any.

What are appropriate expectations for a game that took 14 years to develop?

Ones just slightly higher than what you expected out of Prey.

If you think that each additional year of development adds more quality, you're naive. The game had extremely troubled development. Plus it's been passed on to a new developer. Gearbox surely will produce a good game, but it's not going to be 7 times better than any other FPS just because it took 7 times longer to create.

The game does look pretty amazing but I cant see what kind of multiplayer you can have with such powerful guns....Im thinking its going to be pretty dull! If your in it for the single player I think it may be worth the money but if your looking for an online game I think youd better hold off!

This game's rooted in the golden age of FPS games where guns were overpowered and tactics involved running around in the open, strafing a lot, and holding down your trigger finger. Don't set your expectations beyond that and you'll be OK. BFBC2, etc. will still satisfy your desire to use cover and more complex squad tactics.

That said, I never even played Duke Nukem 3D online once as I'm pretty sure it didn't support TCP/IP, so you had to pay a monthly fee for the TEN network. Even if DNF didn't have MP, I wouldn't be too bummed.

Duke Nukem 3D was a blast on MP. I remember playing the football stadium map and getting the jet pack. Was funny to fly up so high you couldn't be seen and start raining down fire on your fellow players.
