There are some things that just make you stop and wonder: “Is this the beginning of the end?†Things like global warming, widespread war and poverty, and – of course – the mystifying popularity of Twilight. And then there are things that make you quit your job and spend all your money on a tour of the world’s greatest steakhouses, because – damn it all – the four horsemen of the apocalypse are banging down your door right now. Thing numero uno? Duke Nukem Forever’s rapidly approaching release date.
Yep, you read that correctly. Duke Nukem Forever’s landing on shelves this time. For real. The reason? Gearbox Software – they of Borderlands and Brothers in Arms fame – have started cracking the whip on Duke’s notoriously meandering development cycle, and they’re making sure the game finally waltzes out the door in time for a 2011 release.
“It’s coming in 2011. It’s coming in 2011. It’s absolutely going to come, and we will have it shipped. We brought you Borderlands last year. We know what we’re doing. It’s coming on the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 and Windows PC,” said Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford during the big unveiling.
