Duke Nukem Forever

Supposedly Duke Nukem Forever Pax 10 Demo Gameplay. This might be just a joke or is it real? How cool would it be if after 9 years a game finally emerged. I guess after nine years the investors might actually want something tangible for their money, if they haven't given up in disgust and walked away. Still even if it is just an elaborate hoax, gotta say that looks pretty cool.




ok then so maybe not a hoax after all.

Following Friday's big reveal that Gearbox Software is now finishing Duke Nukem Forever, the studio announced today it has purchased the full property rights of the Duke Nukem brand from its previous owner 3D Realms.

this is what they had to say:

"The Gearbox Software team and I are ecstatic that we have grown to a position to be able to pick up and carry the torch and help Duke rise back to glory in his time of need," Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford said. "Fans of the legendary hero and all the incredible talent that have ever helped him all deserve the very best support that we can bring.

"Please join me in supporting Duke in his triumphant return so that we may all enjoy the unique, one-in-million entertainment experience that only Duke Nukem can bring."

3D Realms co-founders Scott Miller and George Broussard offered their comments on the deal in a press release saying Gearbox was the perfect fit for Duke.

"Gearbox was handpicked as the new home for Duke Nukem because of their continued passion, commitment and long-time heritage with the brand and 3D Realms. Gearbox and Duke Nukem make for a devastating match made in video game heaven," said Miller.

"The gaming community's love and demand for the Duke Nukem brand never wavered and Gearbox will not disappoint them. As you have seen from titles such as Borderlands, Gearbox will bring the right level of addictively compelling gameplay, humor and high powered explosive action to the franchise. Duke Nukem is back and will be bigger than ever."

"Gearbox was the only home appropriate for the Duke Nukem brand," Broussard added. "They are very talented and possess the perfect perspective and understanding of the brand. Their vision for its future direction is exciting and unbelievable.

Wow gotta say I never saw that comming who would have though someone would actually revive the Duke Nukem brand.
Long live the duke baby.

I was a big fan of Duke Nukem 3D. I spent hours creating levels using the BUILD editor. It was a fantastic title and was very enjoyable in multiplayer.

There was an interesting article on BitTech.
