Gearbox is finishing up DNF for Take Two

Well, it's official. As rumored 3 weeks ago, Gearbox has picked up development on Duke Nukem Forever and there is a playable demo on the show floor at PAX right now.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, as Duke Nukem 3D was a game I spent a lot of time with... in 1996. Games have come a long way since then and Duke needs a lot more than just a graphical update to stay competitive. Will there be online co-op? Can you level up like in Borderlands? How many weapon types are there? It's not coming until 2011 so we have plenty of time to find out, but from the video I've seen of the demo, it looks like a late 90's shooter (except with better graphics, of course). Beyond its name, I don't see what this game has going for it.

I really hope this doesn't steal too much focus from the inevitable Borderlands sequel (and I'm still looking forward to the new DLC for Borderlands set to release this month).
