Always bet on Duke

At the Penny Arcade Expo Gearbox has confirmed their pickup of Duke Nukem Forever, and their plans to release it in 2011.

For those who do not know, this game is one of the most famous "vaporware" games, having been picked up and dropped off by multiple studios, the most prominent being 3D Realms. This game has been in the development cycle for a staggering 12 years, but now looks to be released.

In the game's trailer, one of the nubile twins asks Duke if the game is any good. He replies the way pretty much all of us would:

"After 12 fucking years, it should be."

Gearbox is probably most famous for developing Borderlands, but they have developed other games, including Half-Life: Opposing Force.

ive been waiting... so very, very long... (insert tears of joy)

I just hope that Gearbox adds in the same end game boss they always have. I just hope it's red this time around.

But to be honest I still play Duke 3D to this day and I can't shake the horrible feeling that the "series" that has brought me plenty of joy as both a platformer and a over the top shooter, will be mediocre at best. But I'll still buy it only so that I can say I own a game that has been in production for longer than I've been playing games.

It's like..... a dream that's taken my entire childhood and adult life so far to come true.
