Duke Nukem Forever Back In Development
An anonymous reader writes "'Always bet on Duke.' It seems he was right about himself, at least. The longest, most storied in-development game in history seems like it's finally going to be released by Gearbox Software sometime within the next year. '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." The game is currently expected to ship in 2010 although given its history Pitchford is understandably reluctant to be more specific.'"
Stay tuned and see if things get frosty.
The legend continues!
"Duke Nukem Forever in Development"
... for my grandchildren.

Pigs seen flying and record cold temperatures in Hell. :)
So, is this going to be released for the N64 or PS1?
What did those ancient Mayans know?

Haven't seen any Duke Nukem jokes on /. in a while.
We're still working on them. Expect some in 2011.

Just you watch; the way this thing's going, it'll released just in time to put it in a bundle with Duke Nukem Forever.
Oh, wait...
This *was* the First Post, but the release date slipped...
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
I say they do a reboot and start off with Duke Begins and then follow up with a bad ass sequel called The Duke Knight.

Better make that 2012, they're having some problems migrating from the Knockknock engine to the Insovietrussia engine.
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!
It's going to be another Windows-only game!
Wait, was that a car analogy?
Aaack! Does that mean that soon I'll have to do all those things I said I would do when DNF shipped!?!
*runs away in terror*
Check out my sci-fi/humor trilogy at PatriotsBooks.
Netcraft is down. They're porting their servers to Hurd.
It's putting a big load on the hardware, but they've drilled pipes down so they can use hell as a heat sink.
Confucius say, "Find worm in apple - bad. Find half a worm - worse."
These guys are environmentalists... they're trying to counteract global warming by making hell freeze over.
Collector's Edition
DNF available now on Phantom consoles.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong fix.
Can't say I blame them. Every time you port something to the Insovietrussia engine, it ports it right back to you.
Duke Nuke'em has such massive name recognition
Apparently it doesn't have enough name recognition for you to get it right...
sig? uhh, umm, ok
I'm glad to see that DNF is back. Part of me, however, kind of hopes the release date keeps on slipping. It just seems like things aren't really right in the world unless Duke Nukem Forever is still "in development".
Property is theft.
You know, if they could make the actual release date on April 1st it would be rather funny. NOBODY would believe the press releases :-)
At this point, they could pick literally any other day of the year and nobody would believe the press release.

And that's really the ultimate metric in my opinion...is the game fun? Nothing else really matters.
That's technically not true. You also still need to be alive.
I can imagine the scene:
Boss- "Reimplement this usign XYZ"
Programmer- "Uh, OK, but we need to redo the strippers motion capture for that"
There's a Duke Nukem community??? Are these forums hosted on an OS/2 Warp server? *Head assplodes*
... and then they built the supercollider.
