Duke Nukem Forever 'Confirmed' For Late 2008
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."'"
Nopers, still vaporware. http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/51163
Seriously people, 3D Realms told us time, and time again. They will announce it on their site when it's real. Stop falling for this.
That being said, this still made my heart skip a beat.. or four
Belief? Hope? Preference?The Existential Vortex
Well, part of the problem with that is that the Phantom was definitively canceled. 3D Realms still insists that DNF will come out. Some day.
RTFM
I'm 25 now, I still play video games, and I played the original Duke Nukem 3D, along with other classics such as Doom I & II, zork, and all those old Sierra adventure games. I'm also engaged right now with a wedding date set for November, and I have a rather nice full time job that pays the bills. Saying or implying anyone over the age of 24 that plays video games has something wrong with them is rather narrow minded. Admittedly I don't play as much as I once did, but I do get a few hours a week in on average.

Yes, but only funny ones. In the case of the GP post, if it is a joke, it's most certainly not a funny one. Try looking at it again, there's nothing at all in the post to suggest it was intended as a joke.

They had Max Payne. And uh, Max Payne 2. And some handheld/mobile versions of Duke Nukem. Yeah, not much else.
Wow. You're out of touch. The average age of video gamers is somewhere around thirty. Any Wall Street analyst will tell you this. That's why video game stocks have taken off recently. Games aren't just for kids anymore. Adults with big incomes have jumped in to the scene with both feet.
Of course, if you played at all, you would know this without Well Street's studies. Nine out of ten voices you hear on Team Fortress 2 VoIP are clearly those of adults.
A slashdotter who didn't build his own computer is like a Jedi who didn't build his own lightsaber.
They had Prey. Their website would have answered this.
Done with slashdot, done with nerds, getting a life.
Ummm.... they have. It's Duke Nukem 3D for modern computers. Just an upgraded engine, not a new game.
My blog. Good stuff (when I remember to update it). Read it.
