And this article from Gamasutra pegs the current expected release date at the end of 2006, although that's been done before.

Duke fans, take heart, all is not lost yet!

They've been raping the gaming world with this game for almost 10 frigging years! I would have been better-off knowing it dead.

I refer to this game by its acronym usually. DNF - Did Not Finish.

Interesting to see its finally coming out, not that I've been looking forward to it. Its been in production so long, the engine is probably pretty outdated by now (thats not a bad thing, could well make the game more popular due to it running on low-spec machines).

It won't beat the original Duke Nukum from 15 years ago. I want my Jump Boots and Grappling Hooks and Nuclear Pistols!

I always thought Duke Nukem Forever was just quietly scrapped. But now it hasn't been released for so long ad everyone has forgotten about it, I wonder if it will just bomb out and barely sell many copies. The graphics now look very outdated compared to other 2006 releases, and in a post Doom 3, Half Life 2, Fear, Quake 4, world the graphics sure aren't going to impress at all.

Ya'll are a bit late with the news. Back when PCGamer got a
development preview of 3d Realms new game "Prey", 3D Realms also
announced that Duke 4Ever was due to be released late 2006 in time for
Duke 3Ds 10 year aniversery.

The issue it was featured in actually came out half a year ago.

Oh and yeah, I've seen the trailors too. There's a trailor
bundled with Duke Manhaton Project. Of coarse that was for the
2001 release tht never happened. Graphics should be much better
now. Basically, Duke 4Ever is going to sell big simply because
it's taken so long to come out.
You know, I've actually got nothing to say

I still have hopes. The Idea of ripping off heads, and s**tting down necks of aliens using the Unreal engine is coolness. :biggrin:

The only reason, in my mind, that the Duke series ever did well was because they traded on pixelized titties.

No back when i was in primary school I bought the game for its engaging plot and unique character design I assure you.

Finally. The return of witty one-liners and true asskickery! I loved
the whole Duke Nukem series(as a childe I used to play it a lot).

you can chew on the eyeball's of the alien scum that litters the floor through which you just steped.

Remember the boss on the space episode of Duke 3D, the final animation were Duke rips off the head of the boss's corpse and, well, s**ts down it neck. That one still cracks me up.

I wonder if the Duke 3d files on my computer still work, considering my father sold off that game, ignoreing my plees to let me keep it, a great many years ago.

Duke Nukem's badossity is all but gone.

"Oh, look, I wear sunglasses and spout one liners that my mom tells me
are witty. I mean, I'm going to kick your ass. Remember that? Kickass
and chew bubblegum? Well, it's actually a funny story: You see, the
original line was 'Time to kickass and chew bubblegum, and I can't chew
gum due to genetic birth defect that constrains my jaw muscles' but the
developer thought it was too long and a bit dorky. Also, instead of
saving babes, I was going to save Jaleel White - you know, the loveable
Erkel! But, once again, PR said it wasn't 'cool' enough. Hah, what do
they know about cool? I'm the king of cool. I was voted the coolest one
in my Butterfly Dance class in high-school. Well, almost, I took second originally but
the kid who took first got hit by a bus while he was dancing
behind an actual butterfly, so he forfeited his title. What with being
dead and all. And my name isn't even Duke Nukem - it's a stage name. My birth name is Samantha Anus."

Probably. What files have you got?

They were the actual game files with the Duke DC expansion. We
left it installed when we sold the cd. However, since we move the
files around the computer several time, we can turn off the expansion
anymore to access the origanal 3 episode, which I thought was the most
interesting episode.

About the release...The truth is nobody care anymore about whether it
is going to be good or not, they just want to see the thing that tied
up the 3d realms crew for ten years. And to see if they really
still have what it takes to bring out a good old-school bad-*ss hero
game similar, but not too similar, to the old game.
