Duke Nukem Forever 'Confirmed' For Late 2008

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the funny-weird-not-funny-ha-ha dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A Dallas newspaper is claiming that the long-in-development title Duke Nukem Forever is headed for retail release in late 2008. Unfortunately, game creator 3D Realms says that's not exactly what they meant. 'What the modest Texas newspaper actually seems to suggest is that 3D Realms is "on target" to release the mythical sequel sometime this year, though company president Scott Miller adds, "we may miss the mark by a month or two" (wink, wink). Miller also hinted that "hitting the big three" (in this case, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3) is the obvious development strategy, but he continued to stress that 3D Realms has not "formally announced any platforms for DNF."'"

      Isn't he all out of gum? No, in DNF he will be all out of ass. The game will mostly consist of simulated gum-chewing.

    This will go down as the greatest joke in gaming history.

    I can't wait for the actual game to come out, for an amazingly low price! Gamers pop it into their ready computer, suddenly a huge picture of duke comes up with the oh so famous "I've got balls of steel" soundclip, follow by a picture of those at 3drealms.

    After this is done, it will immediately be followed by Rick Astley's newest single.

    A press release from the White House recently stated that Hell hath frozen over. Spokesmen close to the President hail this as a significant advance in the war against terror.

    Yeah, I heard it'll be released right alongside Microsoft Flight Simulator: Porcine Edition.

    Why stop now? I mean, is it Directx 10.1? If not, I'm going to be disappointed. The ONLY solution, rewrite it with the newest tech.

    2008 on which calendar? I'm betting on the Islamic calendar, where the current year is 1429.

    and now sit alone in a dark house playing videogames, trying to recapture the feeling of their youth, before their spirit was crushed.
