The “Duke” Returns?

None

The Duke might be making a long-awaited comeback.

No, we’re not talking about Duke Nukem; we’re talking about the original Xbox “Duke” controller. You know, the really big one. As you may have heard, the original Halo: Combat Evolved is getting re-made and is coming to the Xbox 360. The nostalgia factor should definitely be a big selling point for this game, but what if you could have the full experience with the original Xbox’s hulking Duke controller?



343 Industries is pondering that question currently, and has been talking to experienced modders about getting the Xbox 360’s guts inside a Duke shell. In an interview, a 343 representative confirmed that they were exploring their options for having the controller at demo stations for the game at the upcoming Halo Fest, but stopped short of confirming that these “Duke-ified” controllers would be going into production. Still, it would be a cool idea, especially if you like really big controllers.
