According to rumor, that's the name of the next Duke Nukem game: Duke Begins.
Gearbox is developing it.
Duke Nukem Forever - Formerly "Duke Nukem sighting"

Cocaine is a helluva drug.
Anyway, Gearbox may be releasing what they got from the 3D Realms garage sale, soon.

Think they'll go the Serious Sam route (lots of baddies, thin on plot) or the Half-Life route (heavy plot, thinking man's shooter)?

My understanding is they got the game 90% done from 3D Realms, the old manager could just never pull the trigger on setting a release date. So the game will probably be whatever 3DR had at the end, with a little polish. My wild-ass guess is, just like Duke 3d, just new.

As Scott Miller, then owner and CEO of 3D Realms, puts it: “We were probably too much of a perfectionist about the game..."
Understatement of the fucking millennium right there.

I can understand where they were coming from. Duke3D pushed the envelope for environmental interactivity in a FPS. But after they pushed it, lots of smart people stood on their shoulders, like Valve with Half Life. 3DRealms didn't want to be a "me too," but they didn't have the creativity to top what was coming out every 6 months, and they didn't have the management to know when to just say FUCK IT and push it out the door. They were on top, wanted to stay on top, but didn't know how.
Mostly I blame the management.

February, 2011.
Here is a high-def cam of the demo.
There's a good laugh at the end when Duke drops the monster.

I am VERY excited about this.
I wonder how shitty the folks who worked on it forever at 3DRealms feel.

Imagine how bad they'll feel if it gets high ratings and does a lot in sales.

A trailer.
I saw a lot of weapons and critters from Duke 3D/Plutonium Pack.

I rarely pick up a game at full price anymore. I might for Duke.
12 years of waiting, and it honestly looks like it could be good.
