Duke Nukem Forever - IT'S HAPPENING!

Well well, anyone that has followed the Penny Arcade Expo probably knows it already, for the rest - Duke Nukem Forever is alive (again) and being developed by Gearbox Software, which means it may actually come out this time. Release it set 2011.

What is Duke Nukem Forever?
From Wikipedia:
Quote
Duke Nukem Forever is a first-person shooter video game currently in development by Gearbox Software, and a sequel to the 1996 game Duke Nukem 3D, as part of the long-running Duke Nukem video game series. Intended to be groundbreaking, it has become infamous for its severely-protracted development schedule; the game has been in development since 1997. 3D Realms and director George Broussard, one of the creators of the original Duke Nukem game, first publicly announced the title's development in April 1997, and promotional information for the game was released in one form or another in 1997 to 2008. This information, including screenshots, showed different looks for the game, as 3D Realms was constantly changing game engines and graphics.

After repeatedly announcing and deferring release dates, 3D Realms announced publicly in 2001 that it would be released simply "when it's done". In May 2009, 3D Realms was downsized for financial reasons, resulting in the loss of the game's development team. Statements by the company indicated that the project was due to go gold soon with pictures of final development. Take-Two Interactive, which owns the publishing rights to the game, filed a lawsuit in 2009 against 3D Realms over their failure to finish development. 3D Realms retorted that Take-Two's legal interest in the game is limited to their publishing right. The case was settled with prejudice and details undisclosed in May, 2010. 3D Realms remains the owner of the Duke Nukem intellectual property. On 3 September 2010, after 13 years, Duke Nukem Forever was officially reported by 2K Games to be in development at Gearbox Software, with an expected release date of 2011.

So, what do you think about Duke Nukem Forever?
I'm still naive and would love to believe that it is finally coming out.

For lazy people:

Want to get your hands on the Duke Nukem Forever demo before anyone else? Then you might want to buy the Borderlands Game of the Year edition, your key to the "Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club." What's that about?

2K Games says today that Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club grants members access to "exclusive items, including early access to the [DNF] playable demo before it is publicly released­." The upcoming Borderlands collection comes complete with a redeemable voucher, a unique key offering a "wealth of goodies," including the Duke Nukem Forever demo.

The Game of the Year version of Borderlands hits October 12 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 for $59.99 USD, and for PC for $49.99 USD. The Duke Nukem Forever demo? No idea. The only release window we have is "prior to the retail launch of the game," currently scheduled for "calendar 2011."

I think this is a brilliant idea. I was planning on getting Borderlands for the PC anyway. :3
