Duke Nukem Forever Back In Development

Posted by Soulskill on from the yeah-this-again dept.

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.'"

    He didn't say for sure he'd come.

    And if he doesn't come?

    We'll come back tomorrow.

    And then the day after tomorrow.

    Possibly.

    And so on.

    The point is—

    Until he comes.

    You're merciless.

    I really don't understand why this continues to be anything other than curbside trash. The original game was terrible. The sequel was likely to be just as bad. 10 years later people are still excited about it? Really? The only people who liked the original were 12 years old at the time. Does anybody honestly give a crap about this?
