I really like the heroic aspect of Duke Nukem 3D in that way, gotta kill all the aliens and save all the babes.

On one hand I want to scream because they fucked up the already sordid mess that was DNF (what a fucking terrible game).

But on another, if it's a new game from the ground up, it has a chance to be competent, though I hate Gearbox and Randy, they actually ARE competent at putting things together (when doing it themselves at least), and when they're not running a scam, so plausibly, a Gearbox Duke game COULD turn out adequate.

That said, it's also possible that they'll take the publishers money for Duke AGAIN, to funnel into Borderlands AGAIN, and outsource the Duke development to some small-time dev for cheap, AGAIN, so it could absolutely be another disaster.

So I have confidence in their ability, but no confidence in their morality.

Oh yeah, besides not having all the original levels, the 64 version obviously didn't have the kickass Duke Caribbean expansion, or the 'just ok' Duke It Out In D.C expansion.

The originals didn't have some of the really cool weapons like the plasmagun.
The original shotgun I think it's cooler, because the animation frames are made from photos of an actual Winchester shotgun and looks as such, while the 64 shotgun is a typically crude 1990's pre-render of a SPAS-12 (really cool shotgun, but also quite overused)
64 had a cooler pistol (though they missed the chance to make it actually make the slide reciprocate, something which would looks really cool when people do edits of it).
Dua SMGs and Ripper Chaingun Cannon equals out.
