2K to stream "something big" tonight News - Page 1 | Eurogamer.net
I've been reading a BUZZ about this for awhile now and it looks
like some info will be let loose on the Net today !
Hopefully Gearbox can FINISH what that clown Bussard
dragged on for YEARS !!!!!!
I can't believe nobody's bought the rights for this series. As much as i'm not a fan of Bethesda i think the Fallout 3 engine would work good for Duke. I keep getting his games when they're on xbox arcade.
Wow! It's real. They are going to release Duke Nukem Forever
Twitter / Gearbox Software: ALL HAIL THE KING!! Duke ...
I'll believe it when I see it...on store shelves...with actual disks inside of the box.

More like when I'm watching an actual game pop up onto a screen, and here the line "I've got balls of steel" in Duke's voiceTheNickFox said:
Yeah, I was being naive. I'm not sure I'd believe it even if it WAS released and I played and beat the game with 100% completion.tubachris85x said:
I used to follow these rumors so closely...but somewhere around year 5, I gave up on ever seeing this happen.
I'm not sure any game can ever stand up to the hype and legend behind this title.

Hell, starcraft 2 came out. There MIGHT be some form of hope afterall..TheNickFox said:
I lost count, it's been what? 10 years?

Check out the link that F-N-S posted. It's amazing what's been accomplished since DN was accounced.
I may be confusing myself, but I'm pretty sure that when this was first announced, we didn't even know the name Monica Lewinsky...and if we did, we didn't know it for long. That should tell you how long this has been going on.

Was bill clinton even president then?TheNickFox said:
I too will believe it when I see it. Thing is it's a guaranteed moneymaker if they can just get it to the shelves.
BTW they gotta put in some inside joke about 3D realms taking so long. Something for the fans. The sense of humor in the game is what made it great IMHO.
In 1997, he sure was! He would have been in his first year of his second term in office then, with 3 years to go.contec said:
Since this was announced, we've had 3 years of Clinton, 8 years of Bush, and 2 of Obama.
That's a long time.

Feels like forever, even. (bum-da-dum)
I loved duke Nukem on the PC
it was one of my favorite games, I hope this one lives up to the first.
and I would love to see the first one re-done for xbox
Surprise! Duke Nukem Forever uncanceled, playable at PAX - Plugged In - Yahoo! Games
September 3 11:11 A.M.
Though the game has been presumed dead so many times you’d need an abacus to keep track, “Duke Nukem Forever” is very much alive – and he’s coming to store shelves soon.
Take Two Interactive Software pulled off one of the video game world’s biggest surprises Friday, announcing not only that the over-a-decade-in-development first person shooter was nearly finished, but backing that claim up by giving the 150,000 people attending the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle the chance to play the game.
The rest of the world will get its chance in 2011 – on the PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
First announced in 1997, “Duke Nukem Forever” became an annual presence on vaporware lists and a running joke among gamers for its molasses-like development schedule and frequent restarts. A year ago, it appeared the final nail had been hammered into the game’s coffin, when developer 3D Realms ran out of money, let go virtually all of its employees and began a legal war with its publisher, Take-Two Interactive Software.
That suit was settled earlier this year, however. And while 3D Realms is no more, Gearbox Software, the studio behind “Borderlands” and “Brothers in Arms” (and staffed with a number of former 3DR employees), has taken over development on the game.
"Gearbox has enabled die-hard key Duke Nukem franchise builders and skilled veteran game makers to stand together and deliver,” said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. “All gamers deserve a happy ending and after all of us gamers feeling the full range of emotions about Duke Nukem Forever, I am thrilled to be in a position with the trust, power and means to make it happen.”
“Duke Nukem Forever” is, technically, a sequel to 1996’s “Duke Nukem 3D” - though normally a sequel takes no more than three years to put together, while “DNF” started in the Clinton administration.
The game missed ship-date after ship-date, and many began to assume it would never see the light of day. Many pointed to 3D Realms co-founder George Broussard as the reason for the delays – noting that his obsession with perfection for the title resulted in a never-ending cycle of changes.
The bad times are over now, though – and the game is nearing completion. And after 13 long years, some of the industry’s most core fans at PAX have finally gotten to see for themselves if the wait was worth it.
Here's some crappy footage.
I loved the old DN. Crazy that this is real!
