Duke Nukem Forever Release Date Revealed
stupid_is writes with news that Duke Nukem Forever has now gotten a firm US release date: May 3rd. It will release worldwide three days later. The game was resurrected last fall by Gearbox Software and 2K Games after 3D Realms' 12-year attempt at development came to an end in 2009 when the company closed its doors.
They should let the release date slide a few times, for old times sake.
"I use a Mac because I'm just better than you are."
If only they'd managed to make the release date April 1. That'd have been awesome.
Finishing this off? Please. We have only just seen the beginning.
I predict that the moment before the game is to be "released," a wormhole will open, occupying half the sky over Los Angeles. From it, millions of Octabrains will come forth, wreaking havoc and destruction while Battlelords appear and L.A.P.D. pigs are turned into L.A.R.D. cops. No, we have only just seen the early prophecy. In this Hollywood Holocaust, only those yielding laser tripmines, pipebombs, and microwave guns will survive.
I, for one, welcome our new DN3D Overlords. (Someone desperately needed to upgrade the sprites to DNF models!)
So is my Pre-Order from Electronics Boutique still good?
I refuse to miss what may be my last chance to make the same horrible joke I made 10 years ago.
Duke Nukem Forever? More like Duke Nukem Fornever!
There, I feel better now.
Just as long as your system is DirectX 3.0 compatible, you'll be just fine.
Well it looks like Duke Nukem Forever WILL release before Half Life 2 Episode 3.

Yes, it does work in DOSBox. Gog.com sell it, so it must.
Hey, what do you know! Having a look at that page, I just spotted that I bought it from Gog. I don't remember doing that! Well, I'm off to play a game.
Yeah, but now we'll have to look for a new nerdy injoke that is the equivalent of "When hell freezes over".
"When slashdotters all date hot girls." There, that wasn't so hard, was it?

I thought the apocalypse was scheduled for 2012, not 2011!
...because they planned on taking forever to NOT release it?
It's no joke. And stop calling me Shirley.
Never start vast projects with half-vast ideas.
Personally, I can't wait for Duke Nukem Forever 2 to get released. By then, it will be available as a holonovel, and we will finally have flying cars.
I'm not so sure there will be holonovels or flying cars here after the Sun swells to a red giant and engulfs us.
Yes, but he said "hot chicks" not some Jabba the Hutt look-a-like.
Larry just wanted to make sure that if there was anything bigger than his ego in this solar system, that he would at least own it.
Sleep your way to a whiter smile...date a dentist!
