or is it...?

Update 1: Take-Two has responded, adding a little clarity to the situation, but not solid confirmation. "It is the Company's policy to not comment on its contractual relationships, nor do we comment on rumors and speculation. That said, we can confirm that our relationship with 3D Realms for Duke Nukem Forever was a publishing arrangement, which did not include ongoing funds for development of the title. In addition, Take-Two continues to retain the publishing rights to Duke Nukem Forever."‪ - Alan Lewis, Vice President of Corporate Communications & Public Affairs for Take-Two.
While 3D Realms may be finished, Duke Nukem Forever may not. Well, we know it's not finished, but it's not done. Okay, it's not done either, or else it would be out.... look, the game's not dead, OK? Not officially anyway. Take-Two may hand off development to another studio, one a little speedier than 3D Realms.

Me neither.

You have to admit the game's name is the pinnacle of irony though :p

I did not even know what DNF was until like a year or two ago. I knew of the name, but not what it was, so I never really cared either. It seems kinda like a redneck game. Sure, it was funny when the Computer Game selection was low, and we didn't have much to compare it with...but I imagine unless it could be better than HL1 + HL2 + Starcraft & Warcraft II & III + Diablo I + Diablo II, it'd fail hardcore.

Trilogy != Duke Nukem Forever...

Tbh I didn't really have any high expectations either, it always seemed like a bit of a joke, even if it would come out. The original was a true classic though, the first game I played on a LAN.

Tried the Hirez pack a few years back, it was fun but it didn't last for long.

Anyhow, RIP 3D Realms :(

Let's blow the dust off of this thread shall we?

http://www.totalgamingnetwork.com/content.php?3891-Duke-Nukem-Forever-Arrives-May-3-2011

Duke Nukem Forever actually has a release date. That date, in case you missed it, is May 3, 2011. Game Informer has the exclusive reveal on the release date courtesy of Gearbox Software and 3D Realms.

​


"Somehow the guys at Game Informer magazine discovered Duke Nukem Forever's launch date before I did," joked Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software and executive producer of Duke Nukem Forever. "But I cannot imagine any better video game news source team than Game Informer to reveal the moment of truth for the most inconceivable, incorrigible and inspiring turn around story in the history of the video game industry​

I just can't get interested in this game. Duke Nukem Forever has transcended its game and character to become an immortal joke. And I won't buy a game just for the lulz.

I'll buy it, its nostalgia no wither what.. doesn't matter if its good or not this is a piece of history that should be owned by anyone that cares about FPSes :)

Kudos to GearBox and Randy Pitchford for finishing the game up, now lets hope they can bring us the Aliens game as well asap. :IS2:
