Rumor: Gearbox Taking Over Duke Nukem Forever

[William Dickbringer]

uhhhh this could be bad for them
just think what could happen if they don't have up to the fan's expectation then it could ruin their reputation (and it might not due to fandumb [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FanDumb]

Name: Duke Nukem Forever.
Development time: Longer than WWII.

Jesus Christ when will this end? Duke Nukem is a lame character. The only reason he's even rembered today is because Duke Nukem Forever is one of the longest and best know running gags in video game history.

I do respect your oppinion, but I have proof why Duke is awesome:

Screw Nukem, I want to know who the chick with the mouth is, damn!

 

[Worgen]

Im torn, on one hand I still want a duke nukem game but on the other 2k hasnt ever released a good pc version of a game, they all have some kinda problem with them that tends to get patched but they are just sloppy

 

[Busdriver580]

Sure it won't be worth the wait, but FPS tend to take themselves way too seriously these days.
We need Duke, hopefully if Forever actually lands it could get the franchise going again.

 

[Mikester1290]

Which one's coming first?

DNF (also stands for did not finish)

or HL2 EP3?

RRRRaaaaaGaggGGGGeEEEE!!!

 

[Atmos Duality]

Oh thank God Gearbox is taking over.
I was worried that DNF wasn't going to be generic or buggy enough.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Thats the thing about rumors...they're rumors

 

[Proteus214]

I just asked a friend that worked at Gearbox about this and

Spoiler: spoiler'd for RAGE

WHY THE FUCK THEY AREN'T WORKING ON COLONIAL MARINES

and he is being extremely tight-lipped about it and fed me an obviously rehearsed line about how nothing will be disclosed until PAX.

 

[Shadeovblack]

C'MON DUKE! You can do it! I believe in you!

 

[smartmoose]

They should call the game Duke Nukem Forever 2 and state that while it does continue where DNF1 left off; the story will still be accessible to new players. With that they will lower expectations and hopefully word off the curse of DNF.

Im so glad this happened. DNF is the greatest thing ever, and a news story every 6 months with a new piece of media is just hilarious. i hope this curses gearbox and they are forced to sell the ip to someone else

 

[Adzma]

I love how everyone keeps saying "Let it die already!" however we actually learned that it would have gone Gold earlier this year had the lawsuit not happened.

It is obvious who grew up with Duke and who did not.

I'll be damned, looks like this rumor is REAL, new trailer has been released:
