I wish we could get a new Duke Nukem gam, but it's not possible even if some studio got the rights and money. SJWs and journos would absolutely trash it no matter what because of Duke's persona so the devs would have to either change Duke and give him absolutely massive amount of guilt and self hatred or make an unnecessary black female character that's better than Duke in every single way and always saves the day.

@matrix what if instead we just made him irish.

there are less irishmen than some minorities so this should short circuit the SJW.

then you have to make the game actually good which is the harder part :blobcatthink:
@matrix If I were to reboot Duke Nukem I'd actively mock negative Kotaku articles and the like in promotional materials.
@matrix The one enemy Duke Nukem could never defeat was George Broussard, who not only cost Duke his place amongst gaming icons, but also cost a lot of 3D Realms developers their careers, as they wasted away working on a project for over 10 years that was going nowhere until the company went under.

Then there's Jon St. John. I wonder if, given a new DN game, his ego as Duke's voice would prevail, or he'd have problems with the dialogue, since he's also a shitlib retard who writes "Drumpf" on Facebook.
@matrix As other people have said before. With the way the games industry has been lately, probably better to avoid hoping for a new game that's intact.

Thankfully, the old one still plays great, plus there's always modded content that still surprises me for quality.
@matrix It's best that it dies IMO. They finally dragged the thing out after what, 14 years of "development" and it was god awful garbage. It's the only game I ever actually threw in the trash, physically. Serious Sam offers better vintage-style gameplay and you can safely ignore whatever story is there.

What I'd love is a complex, Fallout New Vegas style RPG based loosely on real world political factions. Who needs generic 'raiders' when we have Antifa? Blowing soyboy heads into chunks from a VATS critical hit would be sweet. Loot the craft beer off his corpse and melt down his My Little Pony figurines for use in weapon modfications.
