I think if I were to try to revitalize the series I would take a different approach, try to find ways to bring back as much of the old stuff as possible, as well as a soft remake of Forever, before trying to seriously launch any new projects, and if I was writing a "Duke Nukem Victory" I would task a team on doing something that's as unrelated to Duke3D as possible, with a new style of threat and new tone, but then once the project's underway set a team just to find ways to incorporate as many elements of the other Duke games franchise wide as possible into it without derailing whatever the main team is doing. The problem of course is that 3D really is the best game in the series, by far, but i think that it probably deserves more credit for ruining the franchise than Forever does given the direction everything since it took. Not that writing has ever really been a Gearbox strong point. The second of course is a cultural one, that Gearbox isn't really sure how to write for the Duke in a modern era, which means that there's no way they can perfectly capture his 3D era self in future installments without going back to the drawing board. I figure if there's another Duke Nukem game they have to give it the name "Victory" to continue the Fast and Furious style obscure title puns.Īs far as how to continue the franchise, I'm sure there's a twofold issue.įirst of course is the problem with the franchise's nigh insulting obsession with 3D ever since it came out, a problem that even Forever itself was dripping in.
