Duke Nukem Forever reaches milestone

Whilst we await any official announcement, 3D Realms have revealed they have reached a milestone in the game's development.

According to 3D Realms' George Broussard, he has said in his Twitter update that they have reached a key milestone this week.

[Capt CHAOS]

A RELEASE DATE.

[lordgodalming]

DNF will be coming out alongside the game adaptation of the Jimmy Stewart classic, "Harvey."

/obscure reference

[Aquanox]

Can't believe the guy has the guts to keep talking about DNF development stages.

[maxcer]

so.. DNF=Duke Nukem Forever?
or.. DNF=Did Not Finish?

this vaporware seems like a cruel joke by 3D realms

[joemayo76]

LOL . . . u made my day :)

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

How fitting that the title of the game contains the word 'forever'

[CaseyRyback_CPO]

I smell an awesome live action movie :)

[cupogoodness]

Yeah, there's really no news here at all.

[pixelsword]

it takes them this long to get any version out; but you never know, because it all relies on the talent in the studio, so who knows.

[jadenkorri]

who really is waiting for this game, by the time it comes out, the graphics will be out of date and noone will buy, oh wait, it prob has happened....

@above
a studio, this games not being made in a studio, if they had one it would a been out already...its someones basement....

[lsujester]

What's going to really suck is that the final task that they have is this:

"Start production on the Duke Nukem Forever "game" instead of Duke Nukem Forever "fake screenshots"."

[y0haN]

'Longest game development cycle ever'?

[thesummerofgeorge]

I guess they finally realized "WHEN IT'S DONE" isn't a fan pleaser.... better late than never. Does anyone still care though? Classic example of a company taking their fans for granted.

[y0haN]

I don't really care anymore no, I got DN3D from XBLA and while it was fun, the humor etc really has been surpassed by much better games now.

[kwicksandz]

Hail to the king baby!

[felix88]

I like that pic.

[orange-skittle]

Has this game been in development? To reach a major milestone, you have to be ableto say that the engine the game is running on should be able to do sh-t no other engine has been able to do. Do they understand that this game cannot be like any other shooter on the planet. This game has soooo much hype and sucha fanbase behind it, they cannot release some half-assed FPS that we saw 2 years ago. Honestly, I think it would've been nice if they did it in 3rd person so you can actually see Duke, but I am expecting good things. Jace Hall played it and he said we should be excited about it, but that was a year ago. This and Alan Wake better be something spectacular or the critics will have a field day

[PirateThom]

12 years this month.

[Sangria]

If i remember well, we've seen a first trailer in E3 1998. So around 11-12 years.

[thor]

It's been started again God knows how many times. So this current iteration has probably only been in production for 5-6 years.

Still, "Chinese Democracy" got released so there's hope for this game yet!

[TheBand1t]

In the time it has taken DNF to come out, all the Metal Gear Solids, including 1-4, and all their spinoffs, have come out.

Every Gran Turismo game.

Final Fantasy has had 5 more games, not including spinoffs.

Every Fallout game.

Every version of Counter-Strike was developed.

Valve has released Half-Life 1, 2, and all their expansions and countless mods.

The entire Halo trilogy.

The GameCube and Xbox have been announced and discontinued.

Mario has appeared in 58 games.

[Sharpshell]

WOW! I mean I knew it had been a while in numbers (12) but I never thought about it like that! Thats is one epic list, I sent it to my friend who has been tlaking about DNF for.. forever lol. Bubbles for that!

[TheBand1t]

http://encyclopediadramatic...

The full list is towards the bottom of this article.

[Tarmgar]

haha bandit. My favorite one is the one where **2** consoles have been announced and DISCONTINUED and this game still isn't out. If you can't finish a game in the lifespan of a console, good god.

[Hellsvacancy]

3D Realms must of dropped the 360 version

[Capt CHAOS]

Because they are developing a PS3 exclusive now?

<snigger>

[Hellsvacancy]

Dont hate i couldnt resist, i personally dont care about Duke Nukem its been pushed back so many times ive kinda lost interest

[manwich25]

Mother nature just Sh*t her pant suit

[DevilsJoker]

Is starting it.

[zozol]

2050... still waiting for DNF...

[freestyle1976]

release it!!!!!!!!!

[Cajun Chicken]

Can't wait to play this one, the brief stuff that was shown on Jace Hall looked awesome. This will steal E3.

[xMAx Sadistik]

If that's what you call making millions of gamers believe your actually making this game for twelve years then yes, milestone accomplished! All I know is that, if this game is released, it had better be the most insane, beastly game ever created.

[aaronisbla]

I would hope millions of gamers wouldn't be so gullible to believe hogwash like this...

[Are_The_MaDNess]

its time to kick @ss and chew bubblegum
.
.
.
but im all out of gum

its time to kick @ss twice as HARD

[rmedtx888]

Great! They probably completed the first level.

[fossilfern]

And then they will update the twitter saying they have scrapped it becuase they are making a new engine and we will hear nothing about the game for another 6 years :D

[Munky]

I'm calling it now...DNK to be announced as a 360 exclusive at E3.

Just hope it's not a pile of steaming sh*t.

[Nikuma]

It will most definitely be on the PC you yuppie.

[andron]

This is getting ridiculous. Who honestly believes this game will ever be "finished"?

[DFresh]

I hope this game is released soon.
I'm been waiting forever for this game.

[syanara]

I do like the naked chick in the picture though lol

[SolidSnake93]

A milestone, it should be done by now.

[Th3 Chr0nic]

When this finally does come out it will be a huge disapointment. From the last screen i saw with some enemies pictured it looked like they had taken all the gears of war bad guys and changed their faces to be pigs or some stupid bs. They are going to take Duke Nukem and stick him in a clone of gears/halo/whateverelsetheycan stealfrom and it will suck. adding even more stupid one liners and strippers to gears is not going to be groundbreaking

[lalapin0810]

This means they need another 10 years !!!

[DARK WITNESS]

so can we expect the next milestone sometime in the next decade then ?

maybe a possible release this side of the century ?

[Sibs]

Is one of the 71 tasks adding guns? :P

[meetajhu]

"Its going to be out finally"! TITIES ON HD!!

[dredgewalker]

Actually the milestone is when this game is released it will be so old that even the cheapest pc will be able to run it full speed with all the graphic settings maxed out!!

[yesah]

you clearly don't know what your talking about.

[dredgewalker]

@Yesah
Dude have a sense of humor! Ive been playing Duke Nukem games since it was released soooooo loooong ago. Im just trying to make a funny since its taken soooooo looooong to release the game.

[poeo]

if and when this game comes out, playing it will be the weirdest experience ever. doesnt matter if it's absolutely amazing, or total suckage, it will be really, really f*cking weird. i will probably question my whole existence at that moment.

[maniacmayhem]

So funny that when this game gets released it'll be mediocre to maybe god awful.

Shameful...

[TrueStoryGuy]

Time to add the fifty levels, and the secret hidden stage of just a staircase full of tits.

[pwnsause]

i wont be able to play this game by the time we get to 2012.

[solidsnakus]

this isnt a good sign. hitting milestones this late in development?? or maybe i should say early in development. well at least now we know this shiit isnt coming out till another 2-5 years

[xaviertooth]

probably the 360 version is keeping them from reaching gold... you know like hardware limitations and such stuff...

[bob saget remix]

I'm sure there just blowing smoke up your @ss to make you think DNF is still coming. We all know it was canned a long time ago.

[drewsny]

is it being the longest game that has ever been in development or does that still belong to too human.

[Th3 Chr0nic]

Hell even if this game was to come out next month i dont know if i would want to even play it. Duke nukem is soooo old and it has teken them so long to get this far that im not sure i want to even see wtf is giving them such a hard time maybe they are just idiots and do not know what they are doing lol....der pixelsss we need more

/sarcasm for all you slow to catch on readers

[sak500]

We've reached a milestone.. Now we'll focus on duke's graphics like KZ2. So we need another few years to re-develop the engine. Will keep you posted by they way, dear fans keep sending in the chqs as we're fast running out of our millions.

[mirroredderorrim]

Hail to the delays!

[PoopsMagee]

Shake it baby

[greyfox235]

you wanna dance

[unicronic]

Duke Nuke Forever A Rumour

This game has already become the laughing stock of the games industry. How long in alleged development now 5 maybe 6 years maybe longer?

Unless this game becomes the greatest FPS of all time and is a multi platform release to boot it will sink into obscurity.

[sGIBMBR]

Idiot

[SIL3NTS0LIDSNAK3]

wow i just found out when this game will be released!!!!!!
it gonna be released febuary 30, 20XX!!!!!! lol =P

[ShiftyLookingCow]

Duke Nukem Forever reaches milestone:
Duke has come out of the closet.
