DrunknMunky Veteran Posted August 11, 2010 Veteran Share Posted August 11, 2010 Borderlands developer may be bringing Duke backGamings most infamous vaporware title, Duke Nukem: Forever, is rumoured to be in development again having found a home at Gearbox. Gearbox is most famous for creating Borderlands and the Brothers in Arms series of games. Although the studio has previously been attached to another Duke Nukem game titled 'Duke Begins', this is the first time it's been linked to Duke Nukem: Forever. Duke Nukem: Forever was announced over 13 years ago, but had a rocky development cycle until its eventual collapse last year, when 3D Realms was shut down. Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford and 3D Realms founder George Broussard haven't commented on the the revival, so the revival is still very much a rumour. Duke Nukem voice actor Jon St. John, who recently gave away Valve's new DoTA game, has also said that he "has no news yet about Duke Nukem Forever" but promised to spill all the details on Twitter when he did. Check out our 'History of Duke Nukem: Forever' feature for a guide to the elusive game.

MR_Candyman Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Honestly, it could be really good if Gearbox did it. They definitely have a sense of humor, which you can see in Borderlands, and I think it would fit in very well with Duke Nukem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azies Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 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.

Quattrone Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I always wanted to know why 3D Realms just sell the rights for Duke Nuken Forever to a successful and big studio like EA, Konami, 2K, etc.? What is the problem that they can't sell the rights and development? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a bee Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Valve should just take it. They are experienced in long development times. Duke firing Counter-Strike sounding guns, running in linear paths with no inventory items to use and the game designing to show off a single technology novelty weapon? No thanks.

Ayepecks Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Oh let it die already. Why? 3D Realms made good games. Gearbox makes good games. I want to see what it comes out like. I still think it will be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeekTwo Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Why? 3D Realms made good games. Gearbox makes good games. I want to see what it comes out like. I still think it will be good. Problem is taking one companies development structure, it'll take them months to either restructure the code, or learn how its structured.. I would like to see this game completed though.
