Gearbox Head Hints at Duke Nukem/Gears of War Crossover

[Bindal]

So, either:

-Duke gets a chainsaw weapon?

-A third person Duke game is made?

-In some weird, bizzaro world, a Duke/Gears crossover occurs (No! God no!)?

I will admit to being curious. Never played Duke Forever, but I am one of those weirdos who enjoyed Colonial Marines. So I'm kind of curious, since 4Ever was a game cobbled together over a decade, with Gearbox basically being the ones to release it. A Duke game built from the ground up with a reasonable developpment cycle could be interesting.

Meanwhile, I am having fun with the new Shadow Warrior games.

Booooooooo.

How bout give the rights to the Shadow Warrior people and reunite the siblings?

No kidding. Then maybe we can finally get Interceptor to finish their DN3D remake, or at least put the original back on GOG.

Ugh, what a shitty idea. I'd rather see Halo crossed with My Little Pony.

I'm reminded of that old penny arcade cartoon about Krispy Kreme getting together with someone's butt to make donuts filled with shit

I've never played a Gears of War game so feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't Duke Nukem and Gears of Ware completely opposite in tone? Exaggerated proportions on Gears characters notwithstanding.

For fucks sake, give it to Croteam. They're the obvious and best choice and they actually, you know, know what they're fucking doing and aren't insanely insulting to their fanbase. And you can't tell me this isn't Randy Pitchford on the quest for more money.

Actually Croteam is my favorite, if not one of my favorite devs...

Screw that. Duke deserves better than being dropped in with those humorless misery sacks.
Now adding Duke to Borderlands, that's something I could see working.

At least the article makes it clear this is a random spout of idiocy type idea.
I'm not even sure how deep the horrors of bad combinations can go, but this is Gearbox so they will surely find out.
