Didn't 3D Realms say they were adding driving segments and some open-world elements?

Also, needs a nutshot to Serious Sam... somehow, since Serious Sam's busy stealing the Duke's thunder for a long damn time now.

We saw driving segments in a monster truck in the trailer, I think.

Also, more Duke corpse quotes:

"Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and you die."

"Looks like Sun Tzu bought the farm."

"You'll be seeing plenty of fire where you're going."

"Looks like this grim fable had an unhappy ending."

"Ooh, you had so much blood."

"Didn't have enough gun."

"Diagnosis: He's dead."

"Looks like being polite and efficient wasn't a good enough plan."

"That gentleman couldn't fool me."

Hee hee hee.

'Is there an award for 'Least Badass Gangsta'? Cause that's you.'

...on second thought, no, that would be like beating a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest.

He could mock as many other game heroes as he wanted, but that, I think, would probably cause massive fanboy Dude, Not Funny! backlash. The fandom's already in an uproar; looking for someone else's throats to tear out besides each other's might make the whole thing give.

""You wont be back." "Looks like out little discussion has just been terminated." "

He already did Terminator in the secret level from Episode 3. The one with the knocked-over skyscraper that you have to run up to reach the upper windows of another building, and like two copies of the first episode's boss running around in the street below.

...and I just realised the Fan Dumb might see that as a Take That! about how Metroid has been Ruined FOREVER.

So who all did he take shots at anyways? I know he had the upper torso of the Doom guy in level 1-3, and Indiana Jones hung himself somewhere in episode 3, and there was the flattened terminator near the end of episode 3. I don't remember who was in the secret ice cave in the chasm in one of the moonbase levels from episode 2 (the one with a song named, I think, "aliens") but someone was. Was there anyone else?

I found the Take Thats actually very lame. Especially the Quake one as it seemed like the pathetic bark of a wounded dog. I knew it wasn't released yet then and they couldn't know how popular it would became but still...

At this point, Duke would be to be completely shameless to dare make a Take That! at any game released in the last decade.

Since when was he anything but?

Of course, it could never measure up to the Take Thats against DNF. It would need, at least, five games to come even close.

He also attacked Luke Skywalker "Damn the force isn't strong with this one" or something like that.

but in general, the take thats were just silly one liners with no real hate in them, so to me it seems perfectly fine to have them in DNF. Maybe later he can find the body of one of the scrapped models of Duke from one of the earlier versions of DNF and take a shot against himself "Damn, that guy's been dead since...Forevercool" or something like that.

Er, all DNF would need to do is be released and make tons of money. How many people remember all the Half-Life mockery?

I treat all rumors and innuendos in the video game industry as just that. It's vaporware until it hits the shelves.

OK, I could see The Duke pulling that off.

The first words out of his mouth should be, 'Kept you waiting, huh?'
