Duke Nukem Forever MP Screens, Maybe iOS?
Six multiplayer screenshots, Gearbox's first-ever Gearbox Community Day 2011 event, and the possibility of Duke Nukem Forever on Mac or iOS... it's all jam-packed just for you inside!
In addition to releasing six screenshots from the multiplayer portion of Duke Nukem Forever, Gearbox Software announcedGearbox Community Day 2011, an event open to the public on June 11 that will likely lead into an annual event from here on out. This year, however, visitor will get a chance to play the long-awaited "sequel" alongside the Gearbox crew first before the game finally comes out of the closet next month.
"You'll get to hear the stories and meet the people behind some of Gearbox's biggest games, including Borderlands, Brothers in Arms, Aliens: Colonial Marines and more," the company teases. "Better yet, you'll get to experience the first public unveiling of never-before-seen materials by Gearbox."
Could this be the official big reveal of Aliens: Colonial Marines? To find out, interested gamers need to register here. The one-day event will take place on June 11 from 10am to 6pm at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas, Texas.
In addition to the Gearbox Community Day news, reports are indicating that Duke Nukem Forever may actually land on Apple's iOS platform. The news stems from the PC version's manual already loaded up on Valve's Steam platform. At the very bottom, Gearbox has added Apple's standard licensing terms for playing games sold on the App Store.
"These license terms are in addition to all other terms of the Limited Software Warranty; License Agreement, and Information Use Disclosures," it reads. "If any Software is provided to you through the Apple Inc. ("Apple") App Store, then the following additional terms and conditions in this paragraph apply. This Agreement is solely between you and Licensor, and not with Apple. You acknowledge that Apple has no obligation to furnish any maintenance or support services to you in connection with the Software."
Naturally the legal jargon goes on, but you get the drift: it seems highly probable that an iOS version is in the works-- possibly using Epic's Unreal Engine 3 streamlined for the mobile OS. Duke Nukem Forever currently uses a heavily modified version of Epic's Unreal Engine 2.5 as it is, and Gearbox already has extensive experience with the newer, fresher version.
Of course, this could also mean that the Mac version is heading to the Mac App Store. However, Valve currently isn't listing the Mac version on the Duke Nukem Forever Steam page, and so far, only the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Windows PC versions have been officially announced.
Note to self: take the week off when Duke finally hits the store shelves.

Does anyone know if this will work on a Windows Me system?
Well, give it a try and let us know if it works with WindowsME.
The screen shots... looks like UE2.5 technology. UE3 tech is already getting old.
So I guess, they finished up what was put together... DNF can run on low-end computers with older tech.
Does anyone know if this will work on a Windows Me system?
Win Me is officially dead
Does anyone know if this will work on a Windows Me system?
This game looks it could run on Windows 3.1.
Does anyone know if this will work on a Windows Me system?
bwahaha... what a horrible Os...
Look like playstation 2 port game on screenshot but i will def buy this game for the gameplay, duke nukem 3d was the shit !
Windows ME is one of the few OS's out there that you could do a clean install with, on a Virtual Machine, and it will crash on the first or sometimes second boot up. /fail....
Its unfortunate that so many people buy a game because "it looks nice" or is using the latest in engine technology. There are lots of "nice looking" games that had initial screenshots were everyone said "This game looks awesome! Its going to kicka$$, I cant wait!", then it gets released and the gameplay is crap and it gets no following. Im not saying that DNF is gonna be the best game evar!, but to judge a game by its graphics is to judge a book by its cover.
Also, when you play a fast-paced, fun-to-play, FPS... you arent concentrating on how the light bounces off of the glass, or how soft a shadow is... you are worried about that rocket flying at your face.
Graphics are nothing compared to game play, and if they stay true to the original...then hail to the king baby!
Hey guys, remember Two Worlds? Boy that game sure 'looked' nice.
Give Duke another chance. Graphics shmafics.
Iv'e been posting with anticipation about this so long I feel like one of those hobos on a street corner with a sign that says "The end is nigh ..." or ... "the lord is coming".
People are still playing stupid old games like CS2 so why complain about the graphics on this ?
I agree with the others, graphics arn't everything. But I would warn people not to have high hopes in terms of gameplay either. Don't let the hype get to you if you do you're more then likly to be let down.
I have a copy of Windows ME. I will SELL IT FOR 1 MILLION DOLLARS BOOOHHAAAAAA!!! It's a collectors item isn't it? LOL
Macs are for retards and faggots
this looks like Unreal Engine 3 because it appears to have bump-mapping which i think the previous engine didn't have.
Who cares about the graphics, the LOOK playable, and if the game has excellent game play, it's a winner. And who is calling CS2 "stupid" it's old, but not stupid, you sir are a nOOb lol.
Just like how many people (including myself) still play TF2 because of the great gameplay/class balance. Pushing for better graphics doesn't hurt though, but the gameplay is what determines who will keep playing it.
Does anyone know if this will work on a Windows Me system?
Of course is doesn't nothing actually WORKS on Windows ME. Seriously though.. I'm assuming you're joking. If not, then upgrade to Windows XP and experience a computer that actually works the way it should.
Macs are for retards and faggots
yes, we all know that but what's your point?
this looks like Unreal Engine 3 because it appears to have bump-mapping which i think the previous engine didn't have.
Its UE2.5 (2006 technology) that has been enhanced by the developer. Its easily NOT a UE3 class game. Circles are a big sign of the limitations. Even by todays standards, UE3 is starting to look dated.
Still, that doesn't matter all that much. Gameplay matters. I still play UT2004, which is ALMOST 10 years old. Theres less people playing UT3 (came out in 2008) because the fracked up game-play with badly designed maps (that look great), so few maps, removal of functions that were in UT2004.
I hope DNF does well. Any good game should do well.
I still play NWN for the awesome graphics.
Will get DNF for some good ol run and gun.
Love after mac users are told about having to wait for great software, or do without, they stand by their over priced, over rated, and slow machines. Then when something like duke nukem forever comes out, they sit there panting and hoping in desperation for a glimmer of hope that it just might be released on mac. What a bunch of annoying idiots! They some of them start begging. They made a choice. They should just do their bootcamp or whatever and that should be that. Not expect after they boast, to have a great game like DNF just handed to them on an obscure platform. They should go and enjoy it for what they bought it for. Playing farmsville, a smaller selection of games that are usually older, and editing videos (even though they could have done that just as well under windows 7 and faster if they shopped for the right system, and for less)...
