Head of Gearbox interested in making sequel to Duke Nukem Forever

Last year, Gearbox had finally released the then highly anticipated Duke Nukem Forever. The game universally agreed upon as a horrible game. In an interview with IGN, head of Gearbox Randy Pitchford has expressed interest in making a sequel to Duke Nukem Forever. “I willingly and lovingly acquired the brand. When I did that, I wasn’t thinking that the only goal is just to make sure everyone could play Duke Nukem Forever,” Pitchford told IGN. “The real goal for me is I’d like to build a Duke Nukem game again.” Pitchford also said, “I’m much happier living in a world where Duke is alive and not dead.” He also said, “I think what I would do and what Gearbox would do would be a little different” and that “it would be amazing, and I look forward to that.” Randy Pitchford would love to make a sequel to Duke Nukem Forever Gearbox is all set to release its upcoming role playing shooter (RPS) Borderlands 2. Pitchford had recently talked to IGN about a possibility of a PlayStation Vita version of Borderlands 2. In an interview with IGN, Pitchford said, “If some other studio was capable and could be trusted by us, and by a publishing partner, and by Sony, and someone wanted to invest in making that happen? I think Sony should step up and make that happen”. Now, according to GamesThirst, Randy Pitchford will be meeting with Sony on the matter soon. This could possibly mean a PlayStation Vita version for Borderlands 2. And if we’re making wishes, we could also wish for cross-platform co-op between the PlayStation Vita and the PlayStation 3. Earlier this month, Gearbox released a trailer for Borderlands 2 that introduces you to the changes between the first and second games, along with helpful hints help you in becoming more badass. The trailer is narrated by Sir Hammerlock, who gives an introductory tour of Borderlands 2 as only he can. The trailer shows many details about the game, such as the name of the Big Bad of the game, Handsome Jack. The trailer also points out how much of a badass you are. It shows how you can become more badass by levelling up your character, getting new and interesting weapons out of the 87 bazillion the game has, and how you can attain new levels of badassery by getting things such as relics and class mods, which change how certain skills of your character work. The game had recently gone gold. The developers of the game are now working on downloadable content (DLC) of which there will be four. The planned DLCs will be decently sized campaign add-ons with new stories and environments. The developers also mentioned a Season Pass for Borderlands 2 that may be available later and will include all four add-on campaigns. The Season Pass will be priced at 2400 Microsoft Points for the Xbox 360 and $29.99 on the PC and PlayStation 3. This would mean that buying the Season Pass will net you a 25 percent discount over buying each add-on campaign individually. Borderlands 2 will be released for the Xbox 360, the PlayStation 3 and the PC on September 18, 2012. The DLC add-on campaigns for the game will be available on Xbox LIVE Arcade, Steam and PlayStation Network.
