Vaporware no more! Gaming’s most legendary hero makes his triumphant return this June
Windsor, UK – May 24, 2011 – 2K Games and Gearbox Software are proud to announce that Duke Nukem Forever®, one of the most anticipated entertainment properties of all time, has “gone gold” and will be available at retailers on June 10, 2011 internationally and on June 14, 2011 in North America. The road to gold was paved over the course of 15 years and its legendary path climaxes on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. Gamers who pre-order the title from select outlets will ensure that they are among the first to experience this legendary piece of gaming history when the demo* launches on June 3, 2011 for all platforms, exclusively for Duke Nukem First Access Club Members.
“Duke Nukem Forever is the game that was once thought to be unshippable, and yet here we are, on the precipice of history,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “Today marks an amazing day in the annals of gaming lore, the day where the legend of Duke Nukem Forever is finally complete and it takes that final step towards becoming a reality.”
Created over the span of 15 years, Duke Nukem Forever was first developed with the intense passion and commitment from an inspired group of dedicated designers, artists and programmers at 3D Realms under the direction of game industry icon, George Broussard.
“Duke Nukem Forever and its journey to store shelves is legendary,” said George Broussard, creative director at 3D Realms. “It’s an epic tale of four game development studios that banded together and did the unthinkable and shipped the unshippable. When you play this game you will be reminded of that epic journey at every turn and in every small detail of the game. The character, attitude, interactivity, gameplay and political incorrectness combine to make a Duke Nukem game a unique gaming experience. In the timeless words of Duke Nukem it’s finally time to ‘Come Get Some’. Come be a part of gaming history.”
In 2009, after many believed that Duke Nukem Forever would never be completed, a small team of intrepid developers, known as Triptych Studios, resurrected the dream. Through their inspiring and steadfast commitment to the game and their exemplary talent and skill, they finally assembled the pieces to create an incredible, epic and cohesive gameplay experience. Under the production of Gearbox Software, Triptych Studios, Piranha Games and many other contributors joined together in a heroic effort to complete the long awaited game as a polished, full-featured triple-A title.
“Always bet on Duke, I did,” said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. “I bet on all of the developers who have ever been a part of this legendary project and I bet that none of us want to live in a world without the Duke. I’ve played the final game and it is an incredible experience – a once-in-a-lifetime opus of interactive entertainment that reminds me once again why Duke Nukem is our King. The developers of Duke Nukem Forever at 3D Realms, Triptych, Piranha and finally at Gearbox deserve our thanks and respect for never giving up and have truly shown us that they have balls of steel!”
Strictly for the biggest Duke Nukem fans, the First Access Club grants members exclusive access to the pre-release demo on June 3, 2011 so that they are amongst the first to experience gaming history in the making. There are multiple ways fans can join the exclusive First Access Club, by pre-ordering the game from select retailers or by purchasing the Borderlands Game of the Year Edition on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system and Windows PC.

Apologising to no one, Duke Nukem Forever is the high-octane video game equivalent of a Hollywood summer blockbuster. Starring the legendary lady killer and alien slayer, Duke Nukem Forever brings gamers back to a blastastic time when games were filled with head-popping, bone-rattling action, brazenly crude humor, impossibly statuesque women dying for affection, and catchy one-liners meant to make you laugh out loud.

According to a flooding of posts over at xbox-scene, it appears that the cooler-running [Jasper-based Xbox] 360 consoles have begun arriving in stores featuring the highly anticipated 65nm GPU which should significantly reduce RROD failures. A quick way to note if your new console is indeed a Jasper-based model is to check the power supply. A Jasper will use 12.1A power supplies, while all current models draw 14.2A. Looking at the serial number can also give you an indication as it is assumed that any model made on October 23rd 2008 or later is a Jasper model.
Word on the net is saying that Major Nelson has stated that the New Xbox Experience will be released today for anyone that signed up to be in the ‘beta’ but hasn’t gotten in yet. So as long as you filled in your request for access with the correct ID and Serial Number for your console, you should be getting the update with in the next few hours. For everyone else, it’s still Wednesday the 19th.
Has anyone noticed how games are getting boring? It’s the same damn game play with a new coat of paint and some tweaks. ALL MMO’s want to be WoW, all FSP’s can trace there game play back to Half-life or Doom. Puzzle games? Hell 1/2 of them are clones of some other puzzle game. You pay hundreds of dollars to play a remake of pac-man!?
It’s kind of the same thing as the movie industry, the MPAA bitches that they aren’t making any money from movies. Then you get movies like the new Batman.
It comes down to, if you make a GOOD movie people will go see it. The RIAA complains they aren’t making any money, yet there are a number of artists that have platinum records.
at least with the Internet we don’t have only a few songs shoved down our throat.
Is this was is beginning to happen in the gaming industry? A bunch of clones and whiners with a couple gems released every couple of years? A few games released to LIVE and PSN because that’s what Microsoft/Sony want us to make popular? is there anything new an interesting coming down the pipe?
Are the major players in the field just getting too big so the whole ‘Corporate’ mentality is starting to take hold? Will they force us into another time where all gamers just said screw this, gaming is stupid and cause another gaming crash? Can indy developers games save the face of gaming?
What’s your thoughts/ideas on the subject?
Yeah, ok.. so like this is a little late. But the [The Wall Street Journal] has confirmed a price cut to the Xbox 360 PRO model down to $299. So now there’s no excuse if you don’t own one.
[T3] is reporting some juicy gossip about the next XBox from Microsoft. To just point out a few features:
1) 3rd Quarter of 2009 release date.
2) The new ‘Valhalla’ Chipset to allow for a slimmer and trimmer box
3) no word about the Blu-ray drive…
the interesting thing about this is that all the rumors just seem to be a rehash of all the current rumors that have been floating around for ‘upgrades’ to the 360. Though an ’09 date would make sense because of the 7 year 360 life cycle.
Well it’s been an interesting couple of days, with the leaked list of XBL updates slated for spring to Microsoft flat out saying they one this generations battle with Sony… let’s see what’s going on shall we?
[Xbox360 Fanboy] as posted that Stubbs the Zombie (Wideload games) and Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows (Midway) are coming to XBL as Xbox Originals slated for release to XBL on May 19th (2008) The [Xbox360 Fanboy] is also reporting that Microsoft expects the 360 to have a 7 year life span (better then the 10 year PS3)
so that leaves us with 4 years.. so in about 2-3 years we should see the next 720.
but it won’t be next year according to [Engadget].
According to the [SeattlePi] website along with a metric butt ton of other blogs and sites, the Xbox 360 have just barely beat out the PS3 in unit sales, mostly becasue of GTA sales. Of course this really is only in America. The XBox hasn’t sold well at all in Japan, and for some reason our European friends like the PS3 over the Xbox. (which I still do not understand)
Now [GameTap] is saying that the Microsoft now holds the crown for the first ’10 million sold’. According to Don Mattrick (the Xbox ‘boss’)
“History has shown us that the first company to reach 10 million in console sales wins the generation battle. We are uniquely positioned to set a new benchmark for the industry,”
Well I don’t remember that myself personally..but 10 million isn’t bad. drop in the bucket next to the Wii.. but not bad.
the weird thing about this is that there are 12 million LIVE subscribers. Now if you’ve sold 10 million, but have 12 million subscribers.. how is that possible?
QJ.NET has a [nice post] about the possible updates to the Xbox 360 and LIVE for the spring update.
The rumor list includes (Remember this is only a RUMOR list)
