I heard it's coming on Xbox Live soon. The 3D Realms website said it passed certification by Microsoft mid-August but it's still not on the Marketplace, I'm eagerly awaiting. I'm hoping it will have the same smoothness and great control that the Doom arcade port had.

Anybody else awaiting it? Or at least played the original PC version? I always loved the weapons and items you could use, and the political-incorrectness I dug out my old PC copy when I heard the news (sudden urge to play) and had a little trouble with Vista, but DosBox solved it. I've lost my talent for the control scheme though, spoiled by the mouse

Ah yes, I think I have that one. It was lots of fun. I remember realizing I could shoot grenades through a teleporter Same my N64 looks so terrible on the widescreen (and the controllers aren't long enough from where I have it at the moment).

It's coming out this week, on Wednesday. It will have 4-player co-op, and it will record everything you do, which you can send to friends or jump in at any moment in time and resume control. I'm definitely getting it

I love Duke Nukem 3D, don't have a 360, and even if I did, what's the point, it's better with a keyboard and mouse anyways. It'd be more sensible to get it on a portable so you can play it on the road.

The original didn't have co-op.

So tomorrow it should be out? Awesome, I'll be grabbing it right away

I personally like playing Doom a lot better with a 360 controller than I do a keyboard (mind you, I never use a mouse on the older games, doesn't feel right), so it should be the same with Duke Nukem. All the portable ones I've seen haven't looked very good, and I like the idea of 4 player co-op (4 player co-op in Doom over xbox live rocked, although it was kind of annoying that it used P2P [or at least seemed to] and even the host could get disconnected ).

No, but multiplayer!

I loved the original: one of the first games I ever played (dad had it). Ah, the memories. . .

8-player online co-op!

Here's the video review from IGN:

Should be a lot of fun, loved Duke3D multiplayer, I used to download custom levels, copy them to floppy, and bring them into work to play during lunchtime .

The original let you play co-op, kinda, you could play over a network with the level mechanics and enemies. We would co-op first to kill all the enemies then have 5 minutes to set traps then everyone for themselves. The prison level was the favorite though, so big but pretty easy to find people using the camera's, I remember that submarine made from about 10 polygons - great hiding place.
