Duke Nukem Forever

[WARose]

According to 3DRealms co-founder, George Broussard, Duke Nukem Forever is preparing for launch "...when pigs fly". The 3DRealms executive gave an in depth interview on a game that has a more robust release date, Prey, but did not fail to mention everyone's favorite April's Fool game DNF, giving us some interesting information regarding its progress.

In an interview at 1Up, George Broussard was asked whether his team is still working on Duke Nukem Forever and his reply was ...An ever and ever.
When asked when we can expect the game however he became slightly more serious and after officially announcing the "pigs" schedule, he went on to add:

it's definitely going well now. Things are together; we're in full production. We're basically just pulling all the pieces together and making the game out of it. There's a lot that's finished. All the guns are finished. Most of the creatures are finished. And as I said, we're just basically pulling it all together and trying to make it fun. We've kind of got all these disassociated elements that make up a game, and you put them together and things happen. And then you just tweak it and polish it until it's fun, and that's kind of the phase we're in now, just trying to make something that is really fun to play and interesting.

So there you have it from the horse's mouth, 3DRealms is still working on DNF and they seem to believe that the game is almost into the testing phase. Considering the length of time its developers have been working on DNF, the game may even introduce a new gaming genre; the retro-modern.

this reminds me of something....... do you think axl is involved in that game, too?

[Rockin' Rose]

Yeah, the two projects share some similaritys..

Like Axl, the guys at 3DRealms can't release a "weak" product at this point, the game really has to be a masterpiece, I still remember how years ago I was so excited about DNF, can it live up to expectations these days? I hope it won't turn out to be like Daikatana...

I wonder how much the developing of that game has cost to 3DRealms?

13 million$ ?............................

i dont think it's same.
Duke Forever has been postponned all along these years. because , from what i know, 3drealms didnt want to waste the brand name.  it's not like it's been in prod for ever.

Lol - this game is the biggest joke in computer game history - its been atleast 7 years in the making

one question: who the hell cares about a Duke Nukem game anyway?

[Prometheus]

i could have sworn i seen screens of this years ago.... and it looked tight then..... hopefully it will actually be done well..... and not a HL2 or Q4 or D3 that i really didnt like all that much.... sure they were pretty but it left me wanting something totaly different

[Communist China]

Duke Nukem is really just a wannabe Doom. Do we really need more of it?

You're correct. This game has been in production since 1998, and screenshots leaked onto the net in 1999. The game looked incredible. I went and looked at the screens again, and it still looks good up against today's standards. I'll never understand why they made such a big deal at doing a follow up to the last Duke Nukem game. Sure, it was a good game. But its not like there was insane expectations for the next one. Its all in the creator's mind, and Duke fans have had to suffer for it ever since.
