Duke Nukem Forever in Production
An anonymous reader writes "Like that fungus under your keyboard, Duke Nukem Forever never really seems to go away. Well in the latest installment in unsubstantiated DNF rumors it appears that the game is finally in production. Via Joystiq "everyone's favorite vaporware is "in full production" according to George Broussard, co-founder of 3D Realms. In an interview with 1up, towards the end, Broussard chats about the status of Duke Nukem Forever, the unfortunately-apt title to the game over a decade in development."

I heard the game will only be released for the Phantom console.
Today we mourn the loss of one of the longest running jokes on slashdot .
A joke that has been a stedfast for many an aspiring Troll and Humorist alike .
Like BSD before it , Duke Nukem forever jokes are now dead.
We all hope for a swift passing into the land of the dead , Also we hope that Frist psot and Soviet Russia jokes to follow soon... to um keep you company in the land of dead jokes.
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though
Duke Nukem Forever is slated to be released for the Play Station 6, which will, like all previous playstation consoles, feature real time toy story like graphics, and will be cutting edge, and also for the Xbox 36,000, which will require an entire garage to store the external PSU brick.
The right one was "Duke Nukem: Forever in Production"
ha, more like Duke Nukem Whenever...
Since when has this country used intellectual elite as a pejorative term?
April the first comes early this year
Humorous signatures are over-rated.
What, is Pink Floyd touring again?
I've come to... anesthetize you!
He talks about character models almost being done ...and guns being "finished".
They were planning to do character models but decided against it at the very last moment, so they were almost being done.
Yes, guns are finished; they're through with the whole guns thing, had enough of them, they're finished, gone, out of the game.
Slashdot social media options: AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, Jabber and Mobile Text. Why no MySpace?
Unfortunately it will only be available for Atari, BeOS and NeXT systems. Also it is especially optimized to work well with the GNU/Hurd kernel...
A terrible news. If DNF will be finally released, all the jokes on /. of the kind "it will happen when DNF is released" are going to become true.
This will lead to the end of the world as we know it.
I'm scared, really scared....

This is yet another example of incorrect punctuation in a Slashdot submission. The title should, of course, read:
Duke Nukem - Forever in Production
Well, the analysis has been quite detailed.
They have UML, use cases, entity relationship diagrams, dataflow diagrams, and a requirement what makes the Bible look like a short story.
It's the waterfall development model of justice.

who's gonna come out first, Axl or Duke ?
WTF, Axl is gay??!??
Oh no... it's the future.
April fools day is still 2 months away.

Windows 95 or higher
32MB of RAM

Wait a minute, they're using squirrels?
This game is going to be a damn sight weirder than I thought.

It's all fun and games until a 200' robot dinosaur shows up and trashes Neo-Tokyo... Again
There is no fungus under my keyboard. But then again I'm not a damn dirty GNU/hippie.
I fucking hate comedians.
Maybe they started producing the game when there was huge demand for a sequel, and then were beset by delays. Unfortunately, this pushed the game past the point where it could cash in on the popularity of the original, and then they decided to wait until it'd been over 10 years since Duke Nukem came out and increase sales by selling to people for whom Duke Nukem 3-D was a fond childhood memory.
Duke Nukem Whatever...
Those system requirements match the PSP rawther well. Should we be expecting a port? Or will 3DRealms downscale the design to the Nintendo DS in order to take advantage of the system's keyboard-and-mouse-like touch screen setup?

A year or so ago I would have said that something was as likely as being able to play DN:Forever on an Intel Mac with an Apple made multi-button mouse...
Seriously I think Lucifer may have left the air-con on high.
I've experiments to run, there is research to be done on the people who are still alive.
Netcraft confirmed early this morning that Duke Nukem Forever jokes are now dead.

I have enough space.
HA! yea...right (wink wink). Next you'll be telling me that Apple is going to be switching to Intel and TV shows will be legally available for download on the web.......
Duke Nukem
forever in production.
This post scared the crap out of me! I thought for a minute that it was April 1st and that I had completely missed February/March! Imagine my releif to realize that I hadn't jumped forward in time to an April fools joke, but that it was simply end of the world.
