awesome news, cant wait for it to come out!

Also

at the comments. Anyone asking for Borderlands 2 over DNF is under the age of 15 and/or needs an enema

Duke Nukem

, but then, I could use an enema.

Gearbox makes some serviceable stuff, and ships when they say they will.

The Flying Dutchman of the game development world turned out to have been caused by management screwing everything up in the name of staying ahead of the curve. It wouldn't surprise me if the exec prod turns out to have some kind of serious neurosis. Handing it off to Raven or Gearbox or even Demiurge 7 years ago, this might have kept the brand relevant.

As it stands, isn't it possible more people have played Borderlands than Duke?

what are the chances it will be this version?:

still looks awesome

ManaByte · « **Reply #4 on:** August 13, 2010, 03:09:34 AM »

Release date is set for December 21st, 2012.

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #5 on:** August 13, 2010, 04:09:19 AM »

there was a great and hella long breakdown of DNF's development cycle in Wired some months back. Basically, none of the versions that were ever shown off, not even the really great for its time 2001 trailer were ever even near completion. The game that 3D Realms was making before they finally ran out of cash was the furthest along any revision off the game had ever come, and would have likely have been ready for 2011. Hell, we probably would have seen a passable demo/trailer/something out of it at this year's E3 if they hadn't pulled the plug.

If Gearbox has something to show so very soon would it be because they've picked up the project where it left off, or were they doing a Duke game parallel to 3DRealms? I dunno. I'd like to play DNF, but at this point more to see what a game that took about three times as long to make as the Sistine Chapel is like.

I re-watch that trailer at least once a year and shed a tear.

Bebpo · « **Reply #7 on:** August 13, 2010, 03:14:24 PM »

The 2001 version looks so much better than the 2009 trailer

iconoclast · « **Reply #8 on:** August 13, 2010, 03:45:11 PM »

Another mediocre-at-best Gearbox FPS, oh boy can't wait. Hope this rumor is false.

iconoclast · « **Reply #9 on:** August 13, 2010, 03:57:05 PM »

Yeah, if Borderlands is their best game then my point still stands.

iconoclast · « **Reply #11 on:** August 13, 2010, 04:26:06 PM »

Alright, that's a fair point. But there is still tons of room for improvement.

Cravis · « **Reply #12 on:** August 13, 2010, 05:26:50 PM »

I can see this happening. The suit was settled between 3D Realms and Take 2 last month with an undisclosed settlement. Take 2 and Gearbox are tight because of Borderlands now. I just hope they were able to get the source and can pick up where 3D Realms left off at.

chronovore · « **Reply #13 on:** August 16, 2010, 11:19:14 AM »

Why in the hell would Gearbox want to use 3D Realms' antiquated source code? Or do you just mean "source materials"? I could see Gearbox maybe using a story outline and character designs, but you can bet that with the number of shipped titles Gearbox boasts (boasts!) they have a working pipeline and would have a harder time using 3D Realms' materials than just creating them from scratch.

Just the number of scrape-and-burn restarts that team apparently suffered -- who outside the team would even know where to start, and what laid-off team member would even want to look at it again?

Source materials. I don't want Gearbox's Duke Nukem Forever, I want what was planned. The most recent trailer that was leaked right when it was cancelled was pure bad ass.

This is the only upcoming Duke Nukem product worth caring about:

That was the best trailer made with six pieces of static clipart that I've ever seen.

chronovore · « **Reply #17 on:** August 16, 2010, 05:59:04 PM »

They're publishing the one that will actually be available for purchase.

Its pretty creative considering its just a bunch of logos flying around

Has anything else been shown on Duke Nukem Trilogy since 08? If not I'd consider that pretty much dead in the water.

Awesome. I hope this sees release. I just picked up Manhattan Project on XBLA and thought it rocked. I'd somehow missed it's original release on PC and yet again on XBLA.

cool breeze · « **Reply #24 on:** September 01, 2010, 10:46:39 PM »

so George Broussard posted a picture of flying pigs on his twitter. Then Jon St. John announced he's going to be at PAX for a Q&A session.

yeah, this stuff is going down on friday probably.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #25 on:** September 01, 2010, 10:48:17 PM »

I'll make a bet this game turns out incredibly average.

Just saying.

demi · « **Reply #26 on:** September 01, 2010, 10:49:11 PM »

Duke is never average

Finally a white role model you can always look up to

iconoclast · « **Reply #27 on:** September 01, 2010, 10:55:10 PM »

I think Take Two is going to be streaming from their PAX booth this Friday as well.

It's pretty much all but confirmed at this point. And given Broussard's recent comments, I'd bet he's had a hand in the development as well.

cool breeze · « **Reply #28 on:** September 01, 2010, 10:57:37 PM »

when does pax go down anyway? this friday?

The Sceneman · « **Reply #29 on:** September 01, 2010, 10:58:43 PM »

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

Now that a real Publisher is on top we WILL SEE RESULTS.

I will queue up at midnight in the rain for my copy of DNF.

2K Games is unveiling something big at PAX this year – and we want to share it with everyone – whether or not you are going to the show. We’ll be streaming the first day of PAX live from our booth and giving you exclusive access to everything we’re doing – and it’s going to be AWESOME. RSVP for the show now – and see you at 10 AM on Friday, September 3rd – live from PAX!

No idea what time zone that is though.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #31 on:** September 01, 2010, 11:34:15 PM »

they need to do it up right, special edition with documentaries chronicling the weird story behind the game, anything playable from past incarnations, sketchbook, storyboards, etc.

nothing held back, criticisms where they are due

it's way too interesting a story to just let all that stuff blow away

HyperZoneWasAwesome · « **Reply #32 on:** September 01, 2010, 11:36:52 PM »

about the last thing I ever expected to come out of this was an amicable agreement between 3DRealms and Take2.

Holy crap, this is actually happening. Whatta year for unlikely shit.

That would be awesome! I would pay $300 for a special edition that includes Duke Nukem sunglasses and orange tank top!

People on other boards are saying that Gearbox should be focusing on Borderlands 2 rather than DNF.

Quite possibly the most distinguished mentally-challenged thing I've ever heard on the internet.

How far away is 10am PST? in terms of hours? Like 12?

Totally. If Duke Nukem Forever is just another video game, that would be lame. It's like Prey. Took a long ass time, finally came out, was an ok game, you forgot about it a day later other than Don't Fear the Reaper. Duke Nukem Forever needs to be an event.

You need to put it in your 360 and it should flash a red ring to the Duke Nukem theme. Then it deletes all your other save files and flashes titties on the screen. If you have Kinect attached, it explodes and horribly scars your bitch ass for life. It replaces all your Rock Band DLC with metal. Scorched earth on everything that isn't related to Duke.
