The game is being developed by the guys are Gearbox Software who have been working on it behind the scenes for the past 3 years.

[UPDATED WITH QUOTES]

Randy Pitchford quoted:

“It has been a ‘down in the basement development’, It has been extremely hard to keep quiet about the game whilst our audience has been dieing to know, we have gone through loads of codenames internally”

Brian Martell quoted:

“My role on the game is to make sure that the game makes sure it is done” “We’ve worked with 3D realms in the past and have a strong relationship with them as well as 2K and It has been a wild ride bringing Duke Nukem Forever back from the dead, they saw that we had done well with Borderlands.”

Adam Fletcher (Community Manger) quoted:

“It has been crazy, its been really hard to not let everyone know about it all, we wanted to tell our friends but we couldn’t! So happy we can now talk about it and we’re really stoked that people can get their hands on it at PAX”. “We will be doing Multiplayer obviously but weren’t announcing anything here at PAX” “Follow us on Twitter!”.

David Regal quoted:

“We are really excited, this is truly awesome, It’s is the first time we have shown it to the fans!” “It was really hard keeping it quiet”.

Xbox360 transforms your d-pad! As well as desaturation.

For those of you who have been complaining about the “bloody d-pad on the xbox”, your dreams are about to come true in November (Only for the US, February for the UK – damn it!)

Sir Major Nelson announced that those wizz kids in the labs have worked out how to fix your problems, by simply spinning the d-pad to a different setup whenever you need to! With a simple twist, the controller switches form.

Also they have given the standard controller a black and grey look, they’ve even desaturated the X,Y,B and A buttons (not to our liking). Take a look at what Larry has to offer above.
