It's Official: Duke Nukem Forever Coming From Gearbox Software

Gearbox has taken on finishing Duke Nukem Forever. I'm concerned because if this thing actually gets released, then Hell freezes over and all these girls will show up who promised to date me at that point, and I'm really, really married now.

In all seriousness (or as much as I can muster anyway), is this going to revive a franchise or land with a mighty thud of apathy?

Considering how amazing Borderlands was, I have hope.

This is the sort of thing that can't really even be commented on at this point.

I'll believe it when I have in installed on my HDD and playing it

It's sad that in the last 15 minutes I have seen more playable gameplay out of Duke Nukem Forever then I did over the last dozen years or so of it's supposed development. Gearbox really know what they are doing.

At this point, does it even matter, anymore? Duke Nuken 3-D, the last good Duke game, was over 15 years ago. The whole idea of Forever is a joke.

Plus, thanks to Yahtzee, our expectations are way, way too high.

I have a feeling this is going to be one of the most highly pirated games ever. People are curious about it because it's one big joke, but who actually wants to buy this any more?

QFT

I'll believe it when I see it on Steam or in the store and don't give a shit enough to buy it or give it a second glance.

Spoony tweets "I just played 15 minutes of #DukeNukemForever. I am dead fucking serious. I have proof."

The Spoony One has spoken! His word is law!

Yeah, you should also give yourself a kick too, to make sure you're not dreaming...

Haha! Awesome! Hail to the king baby!

I'll believe it when I actually see the game in the store. Even then, I probably won't care enough to play it.

I'm totally going to buy this (provided it does get released)... damn I loved playing through Duke Nukem 3D cooperatively with my buddies. It usually turned into more idiotic carnage than when we would play deathmatch.

If they can make it as good as HL2 it will have met my expectations. If they can make it as good as hl3 I'll be excited.

Woah there future man... we want to be surprised by the HL3 announcement here.

I think the disappointment people are showing is hilarious. They obviously haven't read up on the history of what happened with this game--what they're seeing isn't 12+ years of work. Duke Nukem Forever was repeatedly torn down to be rebuilt from scratch by its own company; what anyone here is seeing is no more than 3+ years of work, like an average game's development.

People actually think it has been in only 1 development for the whole 12 + years?

Hooray Duke? We missed...you?

Maybe?

Personally the gameplay footage already looks nearly identical to Borderlands which to me, is a damn good thing.

Much to my amusement, he has no Health meter. Only an Ego meter.

From what I heard, even at the previous company it was started over a few times.

They first scrapped everything back when HL1 first came out, and they've been changing engines like crazy... that's pretty much why they never finished it.

Hopefully they do have 12 years worth of ideas though...

Yeah, on Youtube and other article areas, you'll see idiots in the Comments section who say "Wow, after 12 years I thought it'd look better".

I refused to believe people were that stupid... until I looked for myself.

Those fools are not worthy of Duke's awesomeness!

Like @lien said the main reason most people have been given is the constant change of engines/technology thanks to Carmack coming up with something new and snazzy every couple years.

Borderlands was a riot, though, if they can get the same humor into DNF it could really be something worth checking out.

The biggest worry I have right now is the environments. Maybe it was just me, but I liked DN3D because you were pretty much in sleazy cities and alien ships. Right now the environments look to much like Borderlands random deserts. I loved Borderlands, but I hope its not just Borderlands with Duke replacing all the classes.

It's pretty much just been announced though, so they have a lot of time to make it look right.

I thought this at first too. I'm hoping there's more than just run and gun, too, like if I can seriously beat down one of those pig dudes with Duke's bare hands as that grapple moment led me to believe (up until he whipped the guns out) I will enjoy the hell out of this game.

The game should have a bubblegum meter.

That's always empty.

New video! Might be NSFW...

Well, I didn't think I'd ever be saying this. I want to play Duke Nukem Forever when it comes out in the near future.

It looks like they're keeping a lot of the childish humor in, which is a good thing. It's getting hard to not get my hopes up.

"What about the game, Duke? Was IT any good?"

"Yeah, but after 12 fucking years, it should be!"

So much win.

It.... looks good.

Man... i miss the 90's...

*looks at his large supply of bubblegum*

I'm gonna need to run out of this before the game comes out.

...I will not hope, dammit.

Still have the urge to play the original Duke 3d, but hate the dated graphics? An updated version of the game using the Unreal Engine 3 is in the works. They even have a non-commercial license to use the original content, so they shouldn't have to worry about any potential legal issues.

It looks pretty neat, but I'm guessing it's a long way off. It would be nice to be able to play through the game again with better graphics, and better multiplayer support. Hopefully this works out.

Apparently they are giving out keys to the future demo to owners of borderlands if you bought before a certain time. I just got mine last night when I loaded up borderlands for the first time in months.

Can't wait to kick some ass Duke Nukem style .
