Duke Nukem Forever DELAYED

Here we go again

Here's something that will make you chuckle: Duke Nukem Forever has been postponed… again. But only by a month, supposedly.

Given the task of breaking the news gently was head of developer Gearbox, Randy Picthford, who did so in amusing fashion in a YouTube vid. Here it is.

The anticipated title, which was scheduled for release this coming May, will now apparently reach shelves on 10 June. He does mean 2011, right?

I suppose for a game with raunchy features and a handsome dose of misogyny, we're willing to wait around for an extra month, eh? Well, we have no choice. 13 years and counting… ®

Project

'Duke Nukem Forever' isn't so much a product name, more a software development plan.

I liked it

To be honest it is them fessing up to the fact they know it has been a standing joke.

But doing it in this way also says to me that it should be here soon at least (otherwise they would try to not make a big deal of it, wouldn't they).

Or have I just been struck down by good marketing?

As far as apologies go
