An anonymous reader writes "'Always bet on Duke.' It seems he was right about himself, at least. The longest, most storied in-development game in history seems like it's finally going to be released by Gearbox Software sometime within the next year. 'According to Pitchford, Gearbox began finishing Duke Nukem Forever in late 2009. "Clearly the game hadn't been finished at 3D Realms but a lot of content had been created," he says. "The approach and investment and process at 3D Realms didn't quite make it, and it cracked at the end. With Gearbox Software we brought all those pieces together. It's the game it was meant to be." The game is currently expected to ship in 2010 although given its history Pitchford is understandably reluctant to be more specific.'"

Haven't seen any Duke Nukem jokes on /. in a while.
We're still working on them. Expect some in 2011.

Aaack! Does that mean that soon I'll have to do all those things I said I would do when DNF shipped!?!

Netcraft is down. They're porting their servers to Hurd.
It's putting a big load on the hardware, but they've drilled pipes down so they can use hell as a heat sink.

Duke Nuke'em has such massive name recognition
Apparently it doesn't have enough name recognition for you to get it right...

I'm glad to see that DNF is back. Part of me, however, kind of hopes the release date keeps on slipping. It just seems like things aren't really right in the world unless Duke Nukem Forever is still "in development".

You know, if they could make the actual release date on April 1st it would be rather funny. NOBODY would believe the press releases :-)
At this point, they could pick literally any other day of the year and nobody would believe the press release.

And that's really the ultimate metric in my opinion...is the game fun? Nothing else really matters.
That's technically not true. You also still need to be alive.
