Dont worry. Duke hasn’t nuked Aliens: Colonial Marines or Borderlands out of orbit. Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford’s told us so at the weekend.
Gearbox Software head Randy Pitchford has told VG247’s Stephany Nunneley that a Duke Nukem Forever demo in an “important” part of marketing the game, and that the developer can now start working on a demo release date following DNF’s unveiling in Seattle last Friday.
When one thinks of Duke Nukem Forever, so many subjects spring to mind: vaporware, legal drama, a dated action hero, nostalgia, excitement, nebulous press releases, broken promises, four different gaming engines; the list is endless.
Duke Nukem Forever has been rebooted many different times – something usually reserved for entire franchises – and now, once again, the game is back. This time, though, the Duke’s disenfranchised fans can, finally, be sure that a developer is able to fulfill a long-kept promise and drag the jaded star into modernity. And it’s all thanks to the love and devotion of a developer with a vested interest in the hulking blond with a penchant for women and cigars.
Pfft. Reviving Duke Nukem Forever? Please. That’s only how Gearbox starts off its weekend.
Gearbox may have jump-started Duke Nukem’s long-stalled engine this weekend, but that doesn’t mean the developer’s not familiar with Duke Nukem Forever-style stalling shenanigans itself.
