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."

    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.

    He talks about character models almost being done
    They were planning to do character models but decided against it at the very last moment, so they were almost being done. ...and guns being "finished".
    Yes, guns are finished; they're through with the whole guns thing, had enough of them, they're finished, gone, out of the game.

    Indeed. Just remember rule #1 of Stargate:
    All species other than the Tau'ri (Humans from Earth) are stupid.

    Think about it. How could a small secret organization become a major player in the universe in a matter of years? Why do Goa'uld soldiers walk around in big noisy metal uniforms that make them easy to locate and easy to see, yet provide no protection against even handguns? How come no one else has an iris?

    The answer is simple: everyone else is stupid! After that, the absurdly predictable behavior of the Goa'uld becomes perfectly clear.
