So rumours are flying around at the moment about a big reveal coming from 2K Games at PAX Prime, Penny Arcade's big gaming event. There's some speculation that it might be related to this tweet from 3D Realms' George Broussard, a name that you might know because of its association with a little project you probably haven't heard of called Duke Nukem somethingsomething. The post basically just points to this image - a picture of pigs flying, wearing some familiar-looking sunglasses.

Anyway, prepare yourselves. Crash points out in the comments that there will be a live stream of the event at http://www.ustream.tv/2kgameslive.

Did the DN:F project get passed to a different dev team? I seem to faintly remember such an event...

here we go again

there is going to be a live stream of it late tonight at http://www.ustream.tv/2kgameslive

Rumour is Gearbox are handling DNF.

DNF is Did Not Finish the game, right?

I will put physical money on it being Duke... and I certainly wouldn't be in the know ;)

also, it has something big to do with nVIDIA :)

Maybe it will be the free crappy game you get with their video card.

Duke nukem has phsyx and 3d then?

PhysX would be a no brainer, DNF was using Meqon ages ago and AGEIA acquired Meqon.

nvidia are buying amd/ati thus squashing the long running debate on whether or not ati is better.

haha, the tweets on that stream page have a dude asking why there is no physX on the ps3 version of mafia II.

2KGames We're unveiling something BIG at PAX on Friday at 10 AM PT

Hehe, it's probably a round of late sackings. Awesome that they are broadcasting it live ;-)

I'm sorry, James, there just isn't enough programming work on for us to warrant a dedicated soldier AI programmer in the team. If you'd studied engines we could have you in a multi-task role, but only having AI skills is really limiting. Here is a pay cheque for the next month, we'd like you to finish up as of now, please. Thank you for your hard work for 2k.

also the facebook thing in the OP doesn't really show up that well on qgl colours

I can't believe it was actually DNF. Let's hope it doesn't take another decade...

It's been that long I'm not even sure I liked duke. Was it a platformer or something?

Duke 3d was the second best FPS of the 90s.

I know I played it, I think I may have purchased it which in the 90s was surely a rarity but I've got trouble recalling 05 let alone the 90s

It was a platformer originally imitation, Duke 3D took it to FPS.

Duke 3d was the second best FPS of the 90s.

After what, Doom II ?

Thief 1 imo.

Unreal Tournament was, and still is, my favourite pure FPS. =)

Unreal Tournament ftw! Was the first game I played online.

Quake 2 and doom 2 also rate pretty highly for me. I remember going pc shopping in 95 with dad and conning all the salesman into letting me play doom 2 while they tried to sell stuff to my dad. Ah, to be a kid again, so carefree... :(

I played duke, was never really that into it. We used to play it at lans a fair but but I always preferred shadow warrior over duke. Something about lo-wang screaming "sticky bomb, meet mr stupid" before throwing a sticky grenade at your enemies face that just tickles me.
