The Duke Is Finally Back, For Real

Posted by kdawson on from the better-be-good dept.

After the first announcement on 1997-04-27 and over eleven years of fresh start after fresh start, Duke Nukem Forever finally comes to your system. At least if your system is an Xbox 360. Jon Siegler, the webmaster of 3D Realms, confirms this on their site: "As has been reported around the net today, we can confirm that the game has indeed passed final certification with Microsoft on Friday the 15th of August (on our first try, no less). That means the game is done — it is now in the hands of Microsoft." Update: 08/19 10:47 GMT by T : Several readers have written with a correction: this announcement is actually about Duke Nukem 3D, rather than Duke Nukem Forever.

    Uh... no?

    The story is about Duke Nukem 3D for Xbox Live Arcade, NOT Duke Nukem Forever.

    Bad summary. Bad.

  2. Not DNF by Ack_OZ · · Score: 5, Informative

    This isn't a release of Duke Nukem Forever, just an updated Duke 3d for Xbox 360...

    (As I am sure many posts will correct)

    No pigs have flown. The actual news is about Duke Nukem 3D being released for XBox Live Arcade. There is nothing about DNF.

    A more minor error in the story is that my name is not Jon. It's Joe.
