Apparently Manhattan Project will be released on XBLA on June 16th

Also apologies to the Dukenator.

[The Dukenator]

Where's your source?

[BubbleZ]

Welllll, I'm know it's not 100% qualified source material, buuuuuut:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Nu...Arcade_Version

(I swear to God, I did not write that description. But to be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if it did come out that day, as the Achievement tiles and Game Tab have been revealed)

[The Dukenator]

That's just a wild guess. Only 3D Realms can give an official date.

[BubbleZ]

From Wikipedia:

Xbox Live Arcade Version

The XBLA version will be released when its done.

Release date has not been revealed.

Was this posted by Dukenator? If so, kudos, because I personally didn't like it either when I later saw the date had no source file to prove it. My impulses got the better of me!

That said, would be really rad to see it on Jun. 16th!

[WarThrash]

"when it's done"? Oh god....

[MegaMustaine]

The game is DONE! We are just waiting for a release date. Being that there is an achievement list and MS has listed the game on their upcoming game list (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/calendar/default.htm), I don't think we have long to wait.

Nice man, although I noticed Joe Siegler put it up. I thought he was former 3DR staff, how'd he get his hands on the vid?

[Joe Siegler]

George is still a friend of mine, and he knows I posted that. I also edited your link in the first post to force a view of the HD version of the video.

[George Broussard]

Sup' bitches. Hang tight.

[WarThrash]

Sup guys, get ready for all the people to start looking too deeply into George's "hang tight" comment

"George just said 'hang tight'! What does that mean? IT MUST BE DNF!!!"

"Oh my god you're RIGHT! SHOCK & AWE!"

"Hang Tight??? Duke Nukem Forever! He's telling us to hang on and wait for Duke at E3!"

*nerdgasms all over*

You mean like you?

[Bam050196]

There is a few people who actually say stuff like that

Read most of my posts in the DNF section and you'll find I'm quite pessimistic when it comes to DNF's release, so no.

I was just wondering how you got your hands on the vid, I know it's not DNF related....at....ALL

[George Broussard]

Joe got it because I sent it to him to post on YouTube. He's helping me out.

I like to play this on PC with my 360 controller but there's no support to use the triggers to shoot with. So it'll be nice to finally be able to use them.

By the way, would there happen to be any new features exclusive to this version (similar to the gameplay rewind feature in Duke 3D) or is it more or less a straight port?

[George Broussard]

I'm really proud of the controls on the 360. They work extremely well and there are 2 layouts for people. This game should have always been on a console but it just didn't happen in 2002. We pushed pretty hard for it to be on PS2.

It plays really, really well on 360. Love it.

[Damien_Azreal]

EDIT: Nevermind, other comments hadn't been posted when I hit reply...

[Joe Siegler]

800 points.

[Steve]

I'm going to get all of the achievements before Joe

[Damien_Azreal]

Yep.
I hit reply, then watched the trailer... then posted. So, George's post with the info wasn't up yet.

But, the 23rd... I guess I'll need to get me some points on LIVE by then.

[WarThrash]

Pity it's not on PS3 though. I always prefer 3rd person action platformers on the Playstation because of it's superior d-pad (the d-pad on the 360 is a piece of crap, face it) but it's still nice, nonetheless. I understand it's a little bit tougher to port things from PC to the Playstation

[George Broussard]

Please help us spread the word on this. Forums, Tweets, Facebook. It all helps. Let's give DNMP the second chance it deserves and bring it to a new audience who never experienced it.

There's no d-pad usage, so we dodge that bullet I agree, the 360 d-pad is lacking.

I've already posted about it on a couple forums. Plan to tell as many people as possible.

[Joe Siegler]

There's going to be a news story on the front page of the 3DR site at the top of the hour. You'll want to spread that, too.

[Damien_Azreal]

Can do.

[WarThrash]

Wow, first 3DR website update in, what, a year? Hope you guys get as much dough as you did with Duke 3D on XBLA. And please let there be another awesome Duke Gamerpic for completing the achievements

I don't know anything about that. I didn't work on this. All I'm doing is helping George out tonight with the Youtube video, and the story for the front page of the 3DR site. That's it.

[Damien_Azreal]

Yeah, some avatar awards like what they did for Doom 2 would be awesome.

Yeah, I was aiming the gamerpic part towards George. I still have my current Gamerpic set as the radioactive symbol for getting all of the achievements on Duke 3D

For awhile I had the one from Duke3D with the mighty foot. Had it until recently when I switched to one from Alan Wake.

[WarThrash]

Yep, just a day short of a year of no updates on the news page.

[Joe Siegler]

http://www.3drealms.com/news/2010/06...announced.html

There are some cool Xbox LIVE awards and bonuses you can get with the full version of the game.

* Duke Nukem Logo T-Shirt (male and female). You can get this one pretty easily.
* Jetpack avatar award. You get this one if you finish the complete game.

[MegaMustaine]

I cannot wait to have my Steven Seagal avatar wearing a Duke shirt and jetpack.

[WarThrash]

It's nice to see the avatar awards are earned in the game. I just can't see myself spending actual money on a virtual t-shirt for those little bastards

[Kray]

I never played the original version so this will be a new experience for me! Can't wait to sport my Duke Nukem shirt on my avatar as well .

Done and done.

I will link to this game on other forums.
