Duke Nukem doesn't stay down for long. That's the somewhat ironic message from a new Facebook account that is teasing something called D-Day, which appears to be some sort of fresh game starring the gum-chewing king of first-person stupidity. Whatever D-Day is, it has a screenshot, as you can see.
Whether or not this has anything to do with the fabled Duke Nukem Forever remains to be seen. It's looking like it will be a brand new entity, perhaps a total replacement for Forever. Either way, it looks suitably current-gen, so perhaps we might actually see this game within the span of ten years.
What do you think? Reckon Duke may finally make his big comeback, or is this yet another cruel joke?

Why? Why do you tease us with your wonderful looking screenshots, and teaser trailers, only to reveal "Oho, we tricked you!" I don't trust you anymore Duke. YOU WERE MY HERO :(
And like I've said for years, is Duke Nukem even relevant anymore?
Yep, Destructoid even reported on the scene depicted in that screenshot.
Sounds like DNF just under a different name.
DOUK DAY.
That said, a new Duke game with actual current production values and a compotent development team could be awesome.
Already canceled once.
Um....

Now, there is the possibility that it's a different Scott Miller, but that's a pretty glaring error to make.
End of story.
Look familiar at all?

DON'T PLAY WITH MY EMOTIONS!!!!!!
There will never be another Duke Nukem game.
Duke is no longer relevant to many of today's gamers. I have never played a duke nukem game in my life, and I don't want to. From what I've gleaned, Duke is an extremely shallow and un-likeable protagonist, and the games themselves didn't seem to be anything special.
Why does everyone want a new Duke Nukem game? Why aren't people crying out for a new Loom game? Loom was good.
Um....

It may be glaring, and all, but remember: Jim is NOT a journalist (he said so himself) and he is kinda late to the whole PC thing (see recent article about him getting a new gaming rig and the PC elite).
... We don't need no stinkin research. That's for professionals. D-toid is clearly beyond professional (professional 2.0, the new web standard?).
Duke and Jim are both great in their "special snowflake" ways.
