The lights are on
Duke Nukem Forever has been in development for a little while. To give you a sense of just how much time has passed since it was first announced, Gran Turismo--a series known for its punctuality--saw releases 1-5 hit shelves in the intervening years. Skepticism turned to actual anticipation last September, when Gearbox unveiled Duke Nukem Forever in playable form at PAX. OK, so the game was really, really, real. A lingering question remained, however: When would we be able to finally take this thing home and play it?
As it turns out, we now know when that's happening.
"Somehow the guys at Game Informer magazine discovered Duke Nukem Forever's launch date before I did," joked Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software and executive producer of Duke Nukem Forever. "But I cannot imagine any better video game news source team than Game Informer to reveal the moment of truth for the most inconceivable, incorrigible and inspiring turn around story in the history of the video game industry – the coming of Duke Nukem Forever on May 3, 2011."
“The moment fans all over the world have been waiting for is almost here,” says Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “May 3, 2011 marks Duke’s return as he unleashes his brash and brutally honest wit on the world. His return is going to be epic and one that will make video gaming history!”
May 3 is the North American release date. May 6 is worldwide. Check it out below.

Could be cool or could be a dissapointment (gotta say the graphics are behind the times though).

I heard the sound of a thousand fanboys cry out in glee... an it hasn't silenced.
Sigh, I didn't want to be excited about this.
haha so awesome
I hope they used their development time well. If that is the case, this will be the greatest game of all time.
Finally!!!!!!! It looks amazing!!!
I think the best part is the end. "What about the game Duke was it any good?"...."Yeah, but after 12 ****ing years it should be."
That's classic. Can't wait to see the full game.
Wow, that was hilarious! And the game looks really awesome too!
