Following the shutdown, the lawsuits began. The parties eventually settled their differences and have declined to discuss terms. As for who actually owns the intellectual property of “Duke Nukem Forever”–either 3D Realms or Take-Two Interactive—both declined to comment. However, Randy Pitchford, CEO of Gearbox Software, says an announcement regarding the future of the IP would be made on Sunday at the company’s panel at the video game convention PAX 2010, which is being held in Seattle, Washington.

Pitchford actually worked on the “Duke Nukem 3D”, the precursor to “Duke Nukem Forever,” before leaving the company to start, along with others, Gearbox Software. Over the years Gearbox has made successful titles such as the “Brothers in Arms” series and the recent “Borderlands.”

According to Pitchford, Gearbox began finishing “Duke Nukem Forever” in late 2009. “Clearly the game hadn’t been finished at 3D Realms but a lot of content had been created,” he says. “The approach and investment and process at 3d Realms didn’t quite make it and it cracked at the end. With Gearbox Software we brought all those pieces together. It’s the game it was meant to be.”

That means that the game will be a sequel to Duke Nukem 3D and will have both single player and multiplayer. “Aliens come and say they’re going to be our friends and Duke knows this isn’t going to work out,” Pitchford says. “Duke once again is in the pivotal spot and its up to him to save the world.”

The game is currently expected to ship in 2010 although given it’s history Pitchford is understandably reluctant to be more specific. “We’re in the polishing phase now. This is a game where we can not make a promise we can not fulfill,” he says. “We need to get past the shock and awe and then we can go to all the retailers and first parties and work out a launch plan.”

this is Game of Death of games.  I hope they have scenes where a a totally different white guy is wearing a cardboard cutout of Duke's face.

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
Anything playable would be awesome, but it'll never happen :(

yeah, they're not likely to bring up any dirty laundry or show anything from the sordid past, but it would've been cool :(

I'm sitting in the back of my class watching this wondering if I should unmute it.  On the off chance my teacher is into Duke Nukem, things can get really awesome up in here.

wow, close to 14 thousand people are watching this right now.

Microsoft doesn't even deserve this game.  Did you see that they called us hardcore gamers sweaty 30 year olds wearing metallica shirts?  And now you're going to support them on a key multiplatform title that the world is paying attention to?  Have some dignity. Send them a message by getting it for the PS3.  I'm not even wearing a metallica shirt, why would I be into that popular shit.  System of a Down is way better--shows how out of touch MS' PR people are.

I thought the PAX reveal choice was always kind of weird but it makes perfect sense. This is exactly the kind of audience that would go absolutely crazy for Duke Nukem and their announcement will be the talk of the show. Unlike at E3 where they'd have to compete with a bunch of other more higher profile games and be lost in the noise.

Pretty much.

I'm curious to see the trailer they will release later.

Apparently the game demos are all PC versions played with a 360 controller.  It is similar to how they demoed Crysis 2.

I'm not big on Gearbox (opposing forces was awesome though) but they are at least way better than Raven Soft.  So, this is acceptable I guess.

Glad to see Duke's raunchier than ever
Quote
As the first level came to its touching denouement, the camera pulled back to reveal that the giant alien fight was really just Duke playing a copy of Duke Nukem Forever. While recieving oral sex. From two women at once.

“What about the game, Duke? Was it good?” asked one.

“Yeah,” Duke replied. “But after 12 fuckin’ years, it had better be.”
