That's right!  April 27, 2007 marks the 10th anniversary of Duke Nukem Forever being announced. Will it ever come out?

I honestly can't believe this is still (even technically) in development.  Y'know, if they'd sold the license to Capcom, and they'd wanted to do ANYthing with it, there'd be a slew of DN games out now...

Probably a best-of somewhere too...

Damn it has been that long! What a joke. If the game ever does come out I am sure it will suck ass.

[Hydrobond]

^I'm not too sure about that.  They keep the rendering engine up to date it seems.  And as an FPS goes, thats usually the big thing.  Fundamentally, there are few things to seperate each FPS from the next.

It won't live up to the 10 year+ development time.

Two years ago I would've said no it'll be a joke indefinately. Then they finally released Prey after 10 years. Anyone who remembers Prey from E3 '97 knows when it came out last year it was evactly as it was envisioned. Knowing that a sequel to Prey is also in the works I still think there's a small chance DNF will still come out, perhaps within the next 2 years or so.

Duke Nuken Forever will be released no more forever.

DNF will come. I'm keeping faith. The world needs a good ol fashioned game like Duke Nukem to break the monotony of boring FPS games.

Then give Prey a go, DNF wil probably use the same engine anyway. Gravity usage, puzzles, flying, portals, living weapons. If you suffer from vertigo then do not play Prey at all. It can be like a crazy amusement park ride at times with all the walking on walls and ceiling and changing gravity on the fly. Weird stuff like walking through a box into a completely different level and looking behind you and seeing the level you left. Portals that only occupy 2d space that you walk through. Awesome game. I play few FPS's but man am I ever looking forward to Prey 2.

Not to mention probably the best Intro for a game I've ever played that has a very fitting soundtrack, and plenty of Art Bell to enjoy throughout the first part of the game.

I really do want to try out Prey. However I'm not sure my PC will be able to run it, and I'm not interested in getting a 360, so I dunno.

Want to know my reasoning that DNF will come out? There were screenshots for Prey on the original Duke Nukem 3D CD, and that came out. DNF will be next.

I played Prey's demo and liked it.

It's a pretty cheap 360 title ($19.99). Eventually I'll probably get it.

DNF will come out the same day they make a game/movie/book deal about the events which take place in my butt.  This game has been passed around so many times if it was ever anyone's child it'd be dead from neglect.  It's realy sad how they've handled this, but it's dead.

[Tondog]

Nope. I'm still taking 3D Realms' word that it is still being made. The world needs Duke now more than ever.

I think DNF should come out on the same day as Pimps At Sea, Chinese Democracy by Guns N' Roses, Phantom, and StarCraft: Ghost. That would kick ass.

God, has it really been 10 years?  Holy shit.  I was talking to my little brother about it a few days ago.  I looked it up and they're release date is still just "It will be done when it's done"
