Duke Nukem Forever is Alive? - Games

[quote]There may be hope yet for the ludicrously long-in-the-making Duke Nukem Forever. Sources claiming to have knowledge of the situation tell Kotaku that Duke Nukem Forever development continues at a new home, Borderlands developer Gearbox Software. The studio responsible for Brothers In Arms, Borderlands and Aliens: Colonial Marines is said to have picked up Duke Nukem Forever development where former studio 3D Realms left off, perhaps Duke's best bet for eventual completion. Duke Nukem Forever, according to sources who wished to remain anonymous, is now in the hands of Gearbox and is planned to be released under the studio's name. Gearbox was outed as the developer of the apparently scrapped Duke Nukem spin-off Duke Begins earlier this year. Take-Two Interactive still maintains publishing rights to the title, which the company confirmed to Kotaku tonight. (A company spokesperson declined to comment about the status of the Duke Nukem Forever project and whether it is in the works at Gearbox.) One source indicated that a playable demo of Duke Nukem Forever will be available later this year. The development of Duke Nukem Forever has been in limbo since 3D Realms' demise in 2009. Publisher Take-Two later sued 3D Realms for its failure to deliver Duke Nukem Forever in a reasonable time frame. The two parties settled their differences in May of 2010 under unspecified terms. Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford declined to comment to Kotaku on the matter, indicating that he may be able to better clarify the situation further at this year's Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle. 3D Realms founder George Broussard, the man infamously in charge of Duke Nukem Forever, did not respond to requests for comment. Given the nature of Duke Nukem Forever's long and storied history, we're filing this under rumor for now, but we'll be keeping a close eye on PAX-related developments for further details.

So there might still be hope :gbsmith:

The only way this game would be made like it had taken that many years, would be if VALVe were to take it into their own hands. Just an opionion as VALVe seem to have a pretty flawless sheet (except the whole delayed thing) [b]I take back the mean thing I said of Richochet.[/b]

I heard rumors that it might be coming back to life, I hope we see something soon.

I wonder if Gearbox's Anthony Burch is working on it? He's on The Electric Hydra weekly, mayhaps he'll say something.

Awwww shit. Then again this is probably just false hope

Seems really likely. Gearbox appears to be that studio who always picks up others' products and does sometimes good stuff. I know it's more than likely untrue but I've heard they're porting Halo Reach to the PC. The idea doesn't seem far-fetched to me but it'll never happen.

Wow. Just let it die already.

I'm sick of hearing crap about this game. It's gone on for far too long.

I really loved the duke nukem games.. It'd be awesome if they actually DID complete the production of it, since we're all waiting for it since about 10 years ?

I want to see something new and revolutionary from Valve. [editline]04:08PM[/editline] Tried a Duke Nukem before, quite cool!

If anything, I'd say their worst was Deathmatch Classic. Could never get into it.

i hope it does come back to life!

Always bet on duke

By the time they finish it the gameplay and graphical aspects of the game are going to be outdated and they will have to use another engine. History repeats itself.

It doesn't need a modern engine because it will be the greatest game ever made

[QUOTE=The_Marine;23986662]Wow. Just let it die already.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Dirf;23987684]I'm sick of hearing crap about this game. It's gone on for far too long.[/QUOTE] Fucking kids who don't know to always bet on Duke.

Are you kidding me?

Even the 2001 version's graphics look fine to me [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDlB2P1leRM[/media] :911:

False hope. This franchise is dead.

Always bet on....ah fuck it.
