Duke Nukem Forever Goes Gold

Posted by Unknown on Tuesday May 24, 2011 @05:47AM from the but-will-it-run-on-the-hurd dept.

An anonymous reader writes with enthusiasm "Duke Nukem Forever has finally gone gold!" Looks like it'll be on shelves around June 10th with a demo available for Duke Nukem First Access Club members available June 3rd. Can it really be true?

After 15 years?
Sounds more like a really slow job. Outside the slashdot audience I wonder if anyone even remembers Duke Nukem.

Yea, this has been pretty sad. I mean, last time I paid money for a DN game, I had a toddler in my house.
That same toddler is now 3 years from HS graduation, and could now kick my ass sideways in a DN deathmatch, and I'm more interested in the fate of my 401k than I am in blasting pixelated aliens to pixelated fragments.
It's going to have to be one hell of a game to pick up fans who got tired of waiting after almost FIFTEEN FUCKING YEARS, or who have never heard of the original in the first place.
