DUKE NUKEM HITTING XBLA IN SEPTEMBER

[Romance]

Apparently, when Microsoft said Duke Nukem 3D for the XBLA was coming "soon," what they really meant was "next month." The company has now confirmed that the classic shooter will be available for download in September and will come packed with a few unexpected additions, such as the new "rewind" and "saved film" features. "Rewind" will essentially let you reverse the gameplay back in time to relive a particularly fun area or -- far more useful -- undo mistakes, like death. With saved films You'll be able to -- as the name implies -- save clips from multiplayer matches and share them online (though how this will actually work remains to be seen).

So you can expect to relive Duke Nukem in just a few weeks. It's a good thing this announcement doesn't come directly from 3D Realms though, since their definition of "soon" leaves a lot open to interpretation.

i couldn't say what the gameplay will be like. But i would guess they would turn it into an FPS.

duke nukem 3d is a fps, but there has been other versions where he's been a side scrolling shooter

Duke Nukem 3D was one of the first ever FPS PC games, along with the original Doom series and, of course, Wolfenstein 3D.
