Gearbox Software might be reviving Duke Nukem Forever

[quote=Koticku]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.[/quote]

That pretty much confirms it, if it wasn't true they would say it isn't.
I bet it'll have a bajillion different customized weapons and the theme song will be from Cage the Elephant. And annoying robots that won't shut up.
Or they just take Brick from Borderlands, give him a Nukem hairdo and some sunglasses. Which would actually be quite awesome.
But that aside, I'd be interested to see where this is going.
Edit:I suck at sarcasm.
You crazy boy? This is gonna be cool!

No.
If this game comes out, Ep3 becomes the replacement meme.
Halo CE PC port was glorious and by Gearbox.
Also Opposing Force.
They better to hurry up and get Colonial Marines out first though.
Hopefully it will have more replay value than Borderlands, and people will actually talk.

I guess I was just bringing up the obvious jokes I would think would come up. Rate me boxes if it makes you feel better about yourself. I like Gearbox and they've done good stuff besides Borderlands.
Aww fuck yeah. I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck.
I just hope it's not another shitty console port game.

Don't you dare insult Cage The Elephant
EDIT: It's time to be published by Gearbox and chew bubblegum...
[B][i]And I'm all out of gum.[/i][/b]
I doubt this will live up to the hype.
Let's rock.
Let's hope they don't screw it up! :buddy:
Fuck yes! Gearbox!
:krad2:
Fuuuuuuuuck yes.
Certainly won't be long before we see DNF.
Although we've said that a number of times over the past 10 years..
Alright, let's get Jon St. John some money!
Well, if it comes out, I'm buying just because it took so long before it came out.
Hell, I was in grade school when it was announced. I'm sure a lot of you were still in diapers.

Ehhhh, if AVP has taught me anything it's that Aliens games aren't as fun as you'd think
Always bet on the duke.
I expected baddage boys, honestly.
and it will get released because Gearbox isn't full of bumbling idiots
I'm not holding my breath.
The forever is for how long they will take to release it.
