Reactions: Gearbox reviving Duke Nukem Forever?

I guess old heroes die hard, right? Rumor has it that Gearbox (Borderlands, Brothers in Arms) has picked up development where 3D Realms left off when they closed their development doors back in 2009. When 3D Realms closed down, Take-Two Interactive retained Duke Nukem Forever‘s publishing rights. Gearbox does have a relationship with the publisher. It’s also worth noting that Gearbox has worked on the franchise in the past, although Duke Begins has yet to see release (and most likely won’t). To make things even more suspicious, Gearbox President Randy Pitchford told Kotaku that “he may be able to better clarify the situation further at this year’s Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle.” Hmmm…

Frankly, I don’t really see how people can still care about this game. The story behind DNF‘s development has grown to such mythic proportions that the actual product can only disappoint. Still, if anyone out there is still interested, Kotaku’s unnamed source said that there’d be a playable demo by the end of the year.

    I agree that the game will never be better than the legend it has set for never coming out. They should just leave it alone, and let the legend live on.

      They should just stop development for like 20 years, then come back to it and be like, “Oh, we were working on it all this time, it’s going to be epic.”
