Gearbox: Making Pigs Fly, Robots Dance, and Why They’re Just Getting Started

On Friday, September 3rd, Gearbox Software dropped a bomb on the gaming world when they announced that they had shown up to PAX 2010 with Duke Nukem Forever. So naturally, Ripten cancelled all of our appointments so we could talk to some of the men who are bringing back Duke.

This game looks insane. I kind of hope it's AO. After all, it is Duke Nukem...

[Sandwich Bender]

After waiting so long, it almost feels as if an AO rating is necessary.

[pustulio]

I hope they don't tune it down so it gets Mature or even Teen.

I want to play games at their finest not like some that needed to be tuned down so kids can go and buy it.

[wicko]

Problem is that the AO titles can't be sold in Gamestop/etc so it would be the death of the game. But I read in an interview that they said it would be as close to an AO rating as possible.

[N4GAddict]

It better be.

[Mista T]

They don't want an AO rating, its kind of like videogame hell because of how impossible it is for the game to sell well because of the rating.

no doubt they'll be pushing the limit for rated M

but anyway, you guys should check out the thread on the DNF official forums, hilarious stuff. it's about demanding for the DNF demo :P

Q: When is Duke Nukem coming out?

A: When Pigs Fly.

Gearbox can make Pigs Fly.

[N4GAddict]

I still can't believe Duke Nukem Forever is actually coming out.

[aselah]

It only took 10 years. Hopefully it will be worth all that time.

lol, good shit..this game is gonna be sweet

"Randy gets cut short as we’re approached by a homeless man begging for change . . . Randy reaches into his wallet and gives him a dollar."

To me that speaks volumes about Randy and Gearbox.

[N4GAddict]

How considerate of him

[kaveti6616]

I once gave a woman who claimed to have lost her house in a fire the entire contents of my wallet - 25 bucks. Later I regretted it because my friend said she was probably lying and was a meth addict.

Giving homeless people money might not be a good idea.

[aselah]

:) Always Bet On Gearbox

[T9X69]

Agreed. Ever since Borderlands launched Gearbox climbed a very high list to one of the top spots on my favorite developers list. I'm glad they are the ones making it and I don't doubt them one bit. This game will be great, even if its not everything people have been waiting for, for 10 years, it will still be amazing.

[pustulio]

Same here.

Since Borderlands i have a whole different perspective of Gearbox, without doubt they are one of my favorite developers.

[mrcash]

yup but i also want another BIA

[jony_dols]

and it Sucks sweaty gouche. They have a rubbish pedigree, Borderlands & BIA.....
hardly AAA titles

Take DNF away from them, give it to some capable devs.

[Eiffel]

I have to admit, I couldn't get passed 20 minutes playing Borderlands. Pretty big let down for me. I went back again and again, but it was just too boring.

[jony_dols]

thank god you didn't. I've completed a lot of games. But after completing borderlands, I genuinely felt that when i'm on my deathbed.
I will look back at borderlands, and weep over the hours i invested in it.

Not to mention, the final boss is the worst boss ever in a game.
