Duke Nukem Forever Coming to the Mac

Posted by Russ Looney

Duke Nukem Forever Mac banner

Hail to the King, baby! Duke Nukem is back in Duke Nukem Forever and he’s not here to dazzle your ass.

He’s here to kick some ass! Duke Nukem Style.

He’s crude. He’s boorish. He’s offensive. And he’s a womanizing egocentric son-of-a-gun. BUT THAT’S HOW WE LIKE OUR DUKE.

Sometimes you just aren’t craving the caviar equivalent of a game, but a greasy hamburger. THIS IS YOUR HAMBURGER SO EAT UP.

Aspry Media has been recruited by Duke himself to spread his awesomeness to the world, as Duke Nukem Forever will be hitting Macs this August. Duke Nukem Forever brings you ass-kicking of epic proportions, massive guns with equally massive explosions, and, of course, babes. This is pure unadulterated Duke that we all know and love.

As an added bonus, Duke thought his fans on the Mac deserve a bit of a reward for patiently waiting so long and Duke does know how to please. We’re offering a 10% discount on all pre-orders, plus FREE shipping (USPS) for those that want this box of manliness to further boost their egos.

We’ll be posting more info on the game in the coming weeks, including some great feature stories, videos, and FAQs, right here on the GameAgent Blog, so don’t miss out!  To make doubly sure you’re always up to date, follow us on Facebook or Twitter.

Duke Nukem Forever

Cocked, loaded and ready for action, Duke delivers epic ass-kicking, massive weapons, giant explosions and pure unadulterated fun!

Put on your shades and step into the boots of Duke Nukem. The alien hordes are invading and only Duke can save the world. Pig cops, alien shrink rays and enormous alien bosses can’t stop this epic hero from accomplishing his goal: to save the world, save the babes and to be a bad-ass while doing it.

The King arrives with an arsenal of over-the-top weapons, non-stop action, and unprecedented levels of interactivity. With hours and hours of action, and a range of bodacious multiplayer modes, rest assured knowing the fun goes on and on.

Story

Did the Alien bastards not learn their lesson the first time? Duke has been on hiatus for some time now, kicking back and franchising himself on the fame he gained from saving Earth from the first invasion. The Aliens have returned to Earth yet again, messing up Duke’s sweet routine of dirty leisure habits.

The Alien invaders are stealing Earth’s women, especially the hot ones! And they drank Duke’s beer. This. Won’t. Stand. As Duke battles his way through waves of aliens, the once beautiful gambling haven and Duke Nukem franchise chains are crumbling before his eyes. Time to bring the pain!

Features

  • Bust a Gut: Duke pulls no punches. Duke’s constant stream of hilarious one-liners throughout the game make this an out loud good time.
  • World Interactivity: Spend as much time as you want shooting hoops, lifting weights, playing pinball, pool, air hockey, and slots.
  • Scale & Variety: Packed with explosive FPS action, outlandish settings, driving, and puzzle solving — gamers will never tire of the endless FUN.
  • Multiplayer Like No Other: Classic modes are re-made with a Duke twist. Shrink, squash, freeze and shatter your opponents, or just frag them with a rocket.

    Great news! Will we be able to play multiplayer with PC users?

  • http://twitter.com/cgmshiva Stephen Rodgers

    Agreed. If we can MP with PC players and if we get the same DLC as PC owners then I’m sold

    • http://blog.gameagent.com Russ Looney

      Mac users will definitely be getting the same DLC. In fact, though it’s not mentioned above, the game will support Steamworks and SteamPlay, so if you’ve already bought the game for Windows, you’ll be able to enjoy the Mac version free of charge.

      As for Mac-PC muiltiplayer, it’s just a bit early to confirm right now. It’s definitely a feature we’re looking to include (but the same can be said for Civ V, which we’ve been trying to get working well enough since before its launch last November). We’ll be able to provide more information closer to the release in August.

    You’ve got to be kidding me. Is there a good review of this game out there? I hope you guys didn’t have to pay a lot for the license. Not trying to be mean here, but this is the equivalent of criterion announcing the release of Manos Hands of Fate all digitally restored on Blu Ray. I’m certain there were some decent reasons in deciding to port this title (who knows maybe the majority of Duke fans are in fact Mac users… and the port will outsell the PC version… if so good for you and them.) but forgive me if I’ve got that Stan and Kyle look “Really?”.

      I doubt I’ll get the game, never been much of a fan, but while the critics has been hard on the game, I’ve heard quite a lot of fans who’s enjoyed it. Maybe it’s like those action blockbuster movies that the critics hate but still break box office records.

      • Jason Kenney

        Well if thats the case, then one should hope there are a lot of fans that also happen to use macs.

    I for one enjoyed Duke Nukem Forever and have been wondering who was going to port it. I got word that Feral wasn’t going to so it looks like Aspyr is picking up the ball with this one.

  • Kristian Joensen

    So is this a native port or running through some wrapper?

    • http://twitter.com/smoke_tetsu Thomas D.A.

      Aspyr doesn’t use wrappers.

      • http://blog.gameagent.com Russ Looney

        True story. You can expect DNF, like our other games, to run natively.

    Hey, the game has had some bad reviews – but it really is a lot of fun! Don’t let the politically correct press dissuade from enjoying a fun game with great multiplayer!

  • Raziel

    Probably a silly question, but if I already own the PC version, can I potentially install it on my Mac, or would that require a repurchase?

    • Stephen

      If it’s a Steam purchase you won’t have to pay again. If it’s boxed, you’re probably out of luck

      • http://twitter.com/smoke_tetsu Thomas D.A.

        Whether you bought it on steam or boxed doesn’t matter. When it’s boxed you can load it from the disc rather than have to download it
        but either way you have to register and play it through steam.

    Yeaaah, baby!!

    I’m pretty excited.  Granted most people don’t like the game. I dig it.

  • Steeve

    You guys should port Battlefield 2 or 3 instead of bad games like this.

    • Steeve

      I meant Battlefield Bad Company of course…
