Gearbox Software Named as Developers of Duke Nukem Sequel

blogs.dallasobserver.com — In court docs filed by Take-Two, the company happened to mention that Gearbox Software is also working on a Duke Nukem sequel -- Duke Begins, ironic. But, see Apogee insists the game's been canceled, and that Take-Two couldn't nuke the game, the result of a deal between Take-Two and Apogee dating back to '07, without its permission...

  • doshindude, on 07/15/2009, -0/+40He's been all out of gum for over 12 years now. And he isn't going to find any more.
  • techguru2006, on 07/14/2009, -0/+31what a total legal clusterf**k
  • Holcane, on 07/15/2009, -0/+18The best game i've never played.
  • Homerr, on 07/15/2009, -0/+18I'd laugh if Gearbox can crank something out in 12 months.
  • damnshoes, on 07/14/2009, -2/+17OH *****
  • mkriss5681, on 07/15/2009, -0/+14And so begins the cycle of disappointment, renewed.

  • Colmillionaire, on 07/14/2009, -2/+13Everything is bigger in Texas, even crazy lawsuits. (I'm a Texan.)

    I say nuke this ***** out of everyone, and someone deserving by the damn games' source code so we can finally play within the next 10 years.
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+11Oh good god, they're still trying? At least keep the name, people will buy Duke Nukem Forever just to know that they got something out of twelve stupid years.
  • defenswens26, on 07/15/2009, -1/+10It's alright. You can swear here, I promise.
  • yournamehere, on 07/15/2009, -1/+8Come on, Doom II was not superior.. not even technically. Doom II still couldn't look up and down.. duke had that from the beginning.
  • numberneal, on 07/14/2009, -1/+7sue em
  • tnoy, on 07/16/2009, -0/+6..and funding
  • sexybobo, on 07/15/2009, -0/+6Gearbox =/= Valve
    They do make some good games with other peoples IP though.
  • Locupleto, on 07/15/2009, -0/+5It's going to be Duke Nukem Begins Online. The next big MMO with industry heavyweights Richard Garriott, Mark Jacobs and Gaute Godager onboard.
  • spect3r, on 07/15/2009, -0/+5ok

    YAAAY HALF LIFE OPPOSING FORCE <3 <3 <3
  • WaCkYmAk, on 07/15/2009, -0/+5Where's the link to preorder? /s
  • Dustin00, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4What would be really laughable is if it's actually *good*!
  • sirbeta, on 07/15/2009, -3/+7Yes, Duke Nukem was awesome back in the day.
  • jboitnott, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4Wow. That was a pretty Texan thing of you to say. :-)
  • brisketplease, on 07/15/2009, -0/+4cool computer graphics!!
  • jeremymccurdy, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3Serious Sam 3 is in the works, and an HD remake of the first game is coming out.
  • daschupa, on 07/15/2009, -0/+3Meh, I'd just like another Serious Sam game, he was there for me when Duke was out running around.
  • MrFisty, on 07/16/2009, -0/+3Shouldn't have handed all those 20s to the strippers.
  • contradictator, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Dugg for that tenacious bastard Adrian Shephard.
  • FieldAnonymouse, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2While sexybobo is right in that Gearbox and Valve are not one and the same (Gearbox just made three games on behalf of Valve) it does spark an interesting thought.

    What if they made DNF using the Source engine?
  • inactive, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Just Finish Borderlands all freaking ready, then work on Duke Nukem
  • Jeebugorn, on 07/15/2009, -4/+6yes and yes
  • Mikey129, on 07/16/2009, -0/+2Dark Forces was based off the Doom engine but with the Imus music loader... The fact you brought up Dark Forces, Made me smile.
  • Dustin00, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2Do. Not. TEASE!

    *goes running off to search for HD version*
  • ZippyV, on 07/15/2009, -0/+2One of the reasons it took so long to produce the game was because they switched engines. They are not making that same mistake again I hope.
  • ernasty10050, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1I have to say, I've been playing the Brothers in Arms games lately and Gearbox has impressed me. The developer choice could have been much worse.
  • Yage2006, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1The biggest missed opportunity ever in the gaming world.
    The billions they could have made over the last decade with this IP.

  • kplo, on 07/15/2009, -0/+1It really is pretty absurd that it's taking this long. It'll never live up to the hype. Then again, if the hype dies...
  • hordak, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Ha! The legacy of Duke Nukem Forever continues!
  • brim4brim, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Just do something with the IP, anything! I'm sick of waiting for a Duke Nukem game.
  • manmademark, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1Fool me once
  • Holcane, on 07/16/2009, -1/+2Never! I have been waiting my entire childhood for this game!
  • tnoy, on 07/16/2009, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKgPY1adc0A
  • Trigonometron, on 07/15/2009, -1/+1Funny how pissed you guys get at this stuff.

    I can't believe that it was kept a secret for so long. No one should be surprised that GBX would want to steal 3DR's thunder by actually putting out a Duke Game before them...sucks for those who worked on it.
  • LibertyPrime, on 07/16/2009, -0/+0Glad it's Gearbox and not Treyarch or Bungie.
  • ThreeDee912, on 07/15/2009, -2/+2Cue the Valve fanboys...
  • LibertyPrime, on 07/16/2009, -0/+0What? you think bungie is a better group of developers?
  • Sherman901, on 07/15/2009, -3/+1What the *****.
  • oriondr, on 07/14/2009, -21/+16Is the IP even worth all this hassle? Was duke nukem ever even that great of an idea?
  • Kenokie, on 07/15/2009, -6/+1Just let it die already. >.<
  • hydroplane, on 07/15/2009, -10/+4Not really, Doom II & Dark Forces were both superior games for that genre in that era.
