Wuuuuuuut.   :/

I'm personally glad this happened. It just wouldn't feel right otherwise.
 
The legend lives!

Duke Nuken doesn't come out. ever. period.

Yeah, this will never come out.

haha well if this is real then they handled it in the best way possible

Didn't they call that on the Bombcast? ^^

They did a good job trying to make this funny, but... not laughing.  

Good grief.
 

lol

Jeff will be proven right. It's NOT coming out :)

*Fart Sound*

So how much longer until Gearbox is shut down?

Handled it the best they could, although I do wonder if anybody actually thought it would make it's May release. I do wonder what they're using the extra time for, whether it's just polish or if they found a game breaking bug. 

i've never been so happy to see a game delayed, i genuinely lolled.

As someone who has little interest in this game I find it amusing that it got delayed again.

It might just be marketing aka "let's delay this game a bit more so we keep the legacy of the game being never released". "

My xp points on ici will flourish. I know it.

This was definitely planned all along.

I agree that this was planned from the beginning.

I don't think this was planned, but I am certain that the May release date was a TBA 2011 in disguise, which they did because they KNEW they could get a free pass for at least one delay if they put out a jokey press release. Even though it's not even a little bit funny anymore.
 
Their whole line on this game was "It's coming out for sure" so having a hard date early on was important, even if it was bullshit.

" This was definitely planned all along. "

It's definitely a pretty risky move making a delay on a game with Duke Nukem Forevers reputation, but if this was planned all along, they may have a decent marketing campaign to capitalize on this to get a fairly big amount of press. 
 
But on the other hand, like I said, pretty risky, since it can backfire easily if enough people start to believe that it's never coming out.

You know what would be really funny? If they put it out in May anyway, and this was all a lie. 

It made me laugh, and for one second I forgot about the sadness of it being pushed back again

I secretly hoped Gearbox would do this, and maybe they probably had this planned all along.
I mean, it's Duke Nukem Forever... it HAD to be delayed a little more ^^

Dude, that is some sweet ass "delay" delivery news. Valve couldn't have done it better themselves. :)

At some point, you're all going to realise there's no YEAR on that release date, and he actually means 2013

does the international date being first mean that there having to rework the game for the US because of cuts because of the ESRB and getting an M as it's a 18+ on PEGI.

Meh waited this long, month wont make a difference. But yeah Gearbox better not go bust till at least August just to be safe.

I for one am shocked by this development.

I'm not surprised, just disappointed.

Hope it's really a joke.

The may release date was probably the joke, and we're probably in for another one come April 1st. 
 
Perhaps along the lines of "DNF Going Gold" or somesuch?

" This was definitely planned all along. "

Wait, how can it come out before its own release date? How can you release it internationally, and then release it four days later?

Hey yo, next week is LIAR'S DAY. 
 
Maybe they'll put it out early. 
 

I just got the email, so now wondering when will the demo be released to those with first access?

RIP Gearbox. Developing this game is like being an actor portraying Superman.

I wonder what they need that extra month for, maybe this came from the top. Maybe they need that time to add the people that worked on the game. Or maybe they just want to eff with people.

And the legend lives on.

Fuck.

That was funny..... and I shouldn't be surprised........but I'm still kinda pissed off.

Gearbox has been infected by the Duke.
