I just don't believe that. Actually I think that it'd have quite possibly have been released last year had 3DR not imploded. It was on track, the PC version was nearing the end of development... had 3DR just had a few million dollars more, the PC version easily would have been out last year.
The console ports probably would have taken longer, 3DR wasn't working on those (those have just been made within the past year), but the PC version is better anyway so oh well.
Of course Broussard could have sabotaged that by blowing up the game again and starting over yet again, but they finally had a team lead willing to push back against him and say "no, we need to just finish this", and the money was running out, so I really do think that they'd have released it.
Its a average game that will give you a few good laughs, It's worth renting on the consoles but I don't recommend buying it unless you plan on getting the PC version like I have already said.
The game would not seem so underwhelming and dated had it actually been released 6 years ago rather then sit in the shadow of COD , Duke Nukem has so much untapped potential as a franchise that I hope gearbox will do something better with it next time around.
