I hope they don't release the PC version of this game in as broken and horrible of a state that the PC version of Borderlands was in.

Do pig cops still play in 2010

Now we all know what happened to the original Borderlands art assets and storyline!  Borderlands Forever!

Give a release exact 2011 release date Gearbox and I'll pre-order the heck out of this. There are some who will just not care, who never experienced Duke Nukem in it's glory days or are just saying no because it's no longer their most loved piece of vaporware.
 
But I say yes. Duke is Duke no matter how you twist or turn it. Regardless of it being hopeless nostalgia for something that got stuck in the 90's or just wanting to know where 13+ years went. Bad or good it's the game the Duke deserved to have but never really got- till now. Even if this game falls hard on it's face I can at least say that I was there and played something I been waiting for since 1997 and close the book. The Duke Nukem chapter will be closed for me.

I still don't know what to think of this.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH 
 
sure. 
 
When I see it on shelves, I will buy a copy, throw it away, and refuse to read/watch anything regarding its public inception and life after print. 
 
No game, however perfect, could ever follow-up my entire experience of this games production. It was a wonderfully kooky and storied (is it over? lulz) thing which should find a life into a movie made by the guy who made King of Kong, or someone similar. 
 
I wouldn't watch that though. 
 
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH..... 
 
sure.

Is it ok to say I still remain skeptical on it actually releasing ?

Day one purchase regardless of quality.  Easy sale for them.

So any word on a DNF 2?

Don't care, never will. Duke's time has passed, I'm sorry to say it but this will only end in disappointment for virtually everyone concerned.

Okay..this is good. Gearbox is an excellent choice, so this game will be decent. Gearbox..don't forget about Borderlands 2.  If Ole Pitch fork..Pitchford says it's on, then I think the bs is over. I do not expect  The Game of the Century, and despite what what DN thinks while he gets felt up there,  I don't give a damn...where's those ladies faces?I'm sure now it's all  in. ..professional hands. Duke and the game.

 Year 2011 = year 20XX

Sooo... Andy Kaufman is still alive?

I was the first this morning to see this story be posted.  I was going to have the first comment.  But I just stopped laughing about 10 seconds ago.

I would actually be tempted to get the collectors edition if it had multiple versions of the game when it was running on different engines and a movie length documentary of the development this damn thing went through.

The definition of over-hyped generic piece of shit game

Hope it comes out just so we can put this joke to bed finally

*shrug*

No they won't.

BWAHHAAHAHHA

I wont buy this game. Im not supporting Productions that take more than a decade.

I'll buy a copy of this game, just to have as a historical and cultural relic when I'm older, haha. 
 
In all honesty, I'm glad Gearbox were given the reins.  It gives me some small hope that this game will actually be decent.  3D Realms have clearly lost the plot on what makes a good first person shooter, since their 90's glory days. 
 
I hope they release a collectors edition, with a commentary or video of everything this title has gone through. 
 
Let us hope the long international joke is nearly over.

I stopped caring about this game years ago.
 
I can't think of much this game will have going for it other than the name and idiots buying it sight-unseen on the first day.  The industry moved on.  DNF is just a bad, stale joke now.

Wait...wait...wait...nope, still dont care.

After betting on Duke since I was 8 years old, it feels so, so good to have it justified.

Hahaha, so many hurt people.  That's just how Duke is.  He hurts people, he doesn't give a fuck!

 The Gearbox boss also related his wife's insistence that he take up Duke's cause and that if he succeeded in making it happen, she'd give him – and this a direct quote – a "Chilean Miner." She would "go down the shaft and stay 'til Christmas."

Will this have Kinect support?

I'm betting with Gearbox behind it as well as the bringing the guys into to finish it I'm sure the game will actualy come out now. The reasoning is that Gearbox and Randy Pitchford don't mess. 
 
This however gets me wondering; if theyre patching together the rest of this breached hull of a mess whats to become of Alien: Colonal Marine now?

Well Duke Nukem was in the polishing phase for approximately 6 years and we see where that ended up. 
 
...wait. No we didn't.

Both devs are based in Texas.

" It's about dam time.  "

I still can't believe people are playing something called Duke Nukem Forever.
 
That's not a thing that's supposed to happen.
 
This goes against everything I've ever known.

What a waste. Shove this thing out the door, Gearbox, so you can move on to something more interesting.

I'm hoping their next project is Daiktana 2.

"I'll believe it when i see a finished product  "

This game will disappoint all. But I'll give credit to Randy Pitchford and the crew over at Gearbox. They've got balls of steel to even attempt to put this thing out.

I swear, if this game is completed before Half Life 2: Episode 3, Valve is dead to me.

WOW Holy shit pigs HAVE flown.

Won't habeeb it till I'm playing it.

It's a good business decision, if nothing else. Just the name Duke Nukem Forever on store shelves will sell units, even if it is a half baked mess. and with Gearbox at the helm I doubt it'll even be half baked now. Could be charming if the gameplay is fun and they take things way over the top. 
 
But if it's a lame beefcake jokefest with a lot of "hey, remember this?" moments, count me out. Pressing X to hit a pool ball or pull a slot machine lever and "shake it, baby" may make it a worthy continuation of the series, but that doesn't make it worth my time and money. Have to wait and see, expectations still pretty low.

Kotaku has a photo gallery of the Pax '10 Duke Nukem Forever demo:

Damn dude, dunno how to feel about this
Hope Gearbox does a great job, they're a great developer
Plus they'll probably finish it, since they're not goddamn extreme perfectionists

I wasn't blown away by some of the playable footage shown. 

Take that! The people who said the game was dead, and the rumors were stupid!

Only if they release it alongside the Quake 2 engine version.
