2K Games and Gearbox Software Announce Duke Nukem Forever? Has ?Gone Gold?


Vaporware no more! Gaming?s most legendary hero makes his triumphant return this June


New York, NY ? 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 unshipppable, 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.


True Duke Nukem die-hards will want to get their hands on the Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition. This package is spilling over-the-brim with legendary content that is not to be missed by those who want the ultimate experience of this historic arrival. Premium items, such as a Duke Nukem Bust and an art book that chronicles the development of Duke Nukem Forever, flank a package that is overflowing with content. Check out www.dukenukemforever.com/preorder/ to see exactly how much stuff could be crammed into one box.


Apologizing 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.

Duke Nukem Forever is rated M for Mature by the ESRB. For more information on the game, including where to pre-order, please visit www.dukenukemforever.com.

OnLive would be really awkward for an FPS unless you have a very, very good internet connection. There is significant input lag on my 12 Mb/s Cable.
 
Not like Duke will be a challenging FPS-- just hold down your right trigger and kill everything you see.
 
I may have to check that one out when I get home. Then again, don't I not really own the game if I get it from OnLive? And I'm now realizing I already have a 360 controller, long ass hdmi cable, and a computer that can comfortably run any game at decent settings, so nevermind.
 
OnLive is basically a streaming service. You "own" it in the sense that you can use it without limitation (as long as you can connect to OnLive), but there is nothing stored or even processed locally. I can't quite put my finger on it but I did a free trial of some games (many games let you play 30 minutes free and the client itself is free) and it felt like remote controlling a Youtube video.
 
I got like a 20-30 milisecond when I tried OnLive. Eeeehhhhh, even that's too much. :/
 
I won't get a wireless mouse cause it has too much delay for me when gaming lol. Onlive is a stupid useless service for moms.

Right, but iirc, I don't even own the license, so I can't install it locally using a key provided by OnLive.
 
I don't know about all of you but I'm just gonna get it for PS3 and assume my system can run it. Online multiplayer should be epic if they did a full job with it.

Correct. The game is only available via OnLive stream. I doubt they would provide you with a key since there's no install to be done.
 
I was one of the original beta testers with OnLive, and I had no issues with it. While I have a decent gaming rig, I would use the service to play demos or try out a game I am skeptical about-- rather than waste my capped bandwidth downloading the demo or full game, I can just fire up the application and jump right in. Or for $10/month, you get unlimited access to 50+ games to play whenever you want.

Back on topic, I haven't decided to pre-order or wait until the hype goes away to pick up a cheap used copy. I can wait a few more months to play.. seems like a drop in the bucket compared to the 10+ years for the release.

If you wait you won't have to deal with release day bugs.
 
Pre-order now and get your brand new hover board in 2032 when the game is actually released
 
Ancient Duke Nukem Forever Pre-orders Still Valid
GameStop will honor old reservation tickets.
May 31, 2011

by Jim Reilly

Retailer GameStop said it will honor older pre-orders for Duke Nukem Forever, even ones that were placed over a decade ago.

"With a long-anticipated release like Duke Nukem Forever, we encourage customers who pre-ordered more than a year ago to verify their reservation with their local store prior to launch," the company said in a statement. "Provided the customer has a receipt, we will honor even those pre-orders taken long ago."
Patience Pays Off

GameStop said it expects that all pre-order customers will receive Duke's Big Package, the game's special edition, at time of purchase, regardless of when the reservation was made. Developer Gearbox Software recently announced the game was finally completed.

Duke Nukem Forever releases on June 14 in North America.
