Now before you watch the recently released trailer for Duke Nukem Forever make note that it focuses entirely on feces. Yes, feces. However, if you’re not offended easily this trailer does a great job showing just how far Gearbox Software is looking to push the boundaries with this game. As you’re sure to know, there is already a group of people petition Walmart to not sell the game so tensions are definitely high as it is.
Of course, all of this controversy doesn’t necessarily mean the game will be great so it’s up to Gearbox Software to equally balance buzz generating controversial content with great gameplay.
Anyways, check out the above video if you dare and let us know what you think. Duke Nukem Forever is expected to be out for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on June 14th.
For quite some time it was largely accepted that Duke Nukem Forever would never be released. However, following the closure of 3D Realms the game was picked up by Gearbox Software and slapped with a May release date. This was all fine and well as a ton of promotional material had begun coming out including gameplay videos, teaser trailers, talk of the game’s multiplayer modes and much more.
The funny thing? The game has just been delayed once again. That’s right, Gearbox Software has come forth to let us know that they will be pushing the game’s release date from May to June 10th. Ridiculous? Yes, but let’s hope they don’t delay the game again or gamers who are actually awaiting Duke Nukem Forever may give up hope.
Check out Gearbox Software announce the delay in the above video.
As you’re sure to know Duke Nukem Forever has been in development for, well, ever. Luckily, the game was recently picked up by Gearbox Software who will finally be finishing the game and getting it onto the market come May 3rd for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. While we know a lot about the game there is still much to be known including details regarding its multiplayer portion.
Luckily news has just hit the scene by way of Official Xbox Magazine scans that let us know about the different game modes that will be making their way into Duke Nuke Forever. Included here are Dukematch, Team Dukematch, Capture the Babe and Hail to the King. If you couldn’t tell by their names, Dukematch will be your traditional free for all deathmatch/slayer type game mode while Team Dukematch will be the same thing, but quite obviously on teams. Capture the Babe will be Duke Nukem Forever’s take on Capture the Flag while Hail to the King will be the game’s take on king of the hill.
Pretty comical names that the developers have come up with here which seems like a breath of fresh air in this highly serious market dominated by titles like Call of Duty.
Again, Duke Nukem Forever will be out for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on May 3rd.
It seems almost surreal that after 14 years Duke Nukem Forever’s May 3rd release date is finally approaching. If you’re not familiar with the back story behind the game’s development, Duke Nukem Forever was originally under development by the franchise’s creators 3D Realms. After one thing led to another 3D Realms disbanded and the developmental duty was shifted over to Gearbox Studios of Borderlands fame.

After months of learning about the game’s existence, we finally have the first footage of Gearbox Software’s upcoming cel-shaded “roleplaying shooter” game, Borderlands. The game will feature four player co-op and a good amount of guns, according to the trailer.
Borderlands is scheduled for an October 20th release in North America and on the 23rd in PAL regions. The game will be released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. 2K Games is calling the game a first in a franchise, so expect more installments of the game sometime in the future.
Back in June, we learned that Gearbox Software will be expecting an October ship date for their sci-fi action RPG Borderlands. Today, we learn from the game’s publisher, 2K Games, that the game will indeed be seeing an October release; slated for the 20th in North America and the 23rd in PAL regions.
In response to questions on how the game will fair against blockbuster titles like Uncharted 2, 2K Games president Christoph Hartmann doesn’t “think we have to be afraid of competition or shy of what’s out there, I think this holiday season is a little bit lighter in triple-A games than last year. It’s actually a good holiday to put something out. … There’s always risk and opportunity. The risk is you have a hard time standing out against established IP. The opportunity is you have a lot of traffic here and it can be a much bigger product at retail than it would be otherwise.”
Borderlands will be released for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Word around town is that it will be the first title in its franchise, so expect a sequel in the future.
Gearbox Software’s open world action shooter/rpg game Borderlands will be in stores this October, according to the developer. The game, which was recently revealed with a new art style, resembling Crackdown, should receive a more firm release date in the upcoming weeks from publisher 2K Games.
Going by a release schedule from Sega’s European branch, it appears Gearbox’s Aliens: Colonial Marines will be released within the next three months. The game was originally set for release late last year, but was delayed to sometime this year.
The game was rumored to be cancelled amidst layoffs at the company, but Gearbox head honcho Randy Pitchford quickly shot it down. Sega has remained unusually quiet on the highly anticipated squad-based shooter that goes back to the formula of classic AvP games.
Sega and Gearbox are yet to confirm the release date.
Joystiq, going by a rumor in the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine, reports that Halo 4 is in development at Gearbox Software and will launch alongside the Xbox 720, or whatever it is called by Microsoft.

Meanwhile, Halo creator Bungie has revealed that it is working on a new game in the shooter series, though no details have been released yet. Two more Halo titles are also in the works – Halo Wars and a project from Peter Jackson.
