Duke nukem forever

I'm dying for this game, as well as Tribes Veng, as well as Half life 2. I've heard tribes is set in stone for Nov, thank the lord. I've heard Half life 2 will be out in Nov, dec at the latest. I pray that's true. Stalker, which looks sweet was pushed back to 2005, which blows. My question is when is duke nukem forever coming out? Does anyone know? This game had an original release of 2001, not to be an a**hole, but it's almost 2005. I would love to know what's the deal as i've heard the graphics will be as good as the above mentioned games with the same style of comedy and action that only the Duke can bring.

Is that a serious question? :scratch:

I don't know about serious, but it's important to me.

I think he asked because the game has become a joke. Regardless, I think they cancelled this game long ago, not sure though so correct me if I'm wrong. If not, and it really has been in development 5 years, then I can almost guarentee it will suck if/when its released.

I heard it was still in development and that some people died, and other stuff delayed it. I know it's a joke as many feel HL2 was for a while, but now we are seeing it. So I'm just wondering if anyone knows or cares. I do because I loved the first one, it was a great shooter that was very funny as well. Multiplayer would be cool too. Anyway, a lot of good games are on the horizon but I would love to know if anyone has the real dirt on this game and can give the facts if there are any.

I never thought HL2 was a joke...

duke nukem forever looked sweet but i think it will never come out how it was. I feel a new duke game will show up in a completely different form and engine. Heck why not a sp and mp mod for hl2?

5 years? try more like 7 years. Don't you guys remember when it was originally gonna' use the Quake 2 engine? then they switched to the half-lfe engine? Then they switched again... I remember seeing screenshots of this game way back in 97'...

I have been waiting for this game to come out too but i am convinced it is dead.

They switched to the Unreal engine. Half-Life uses the Quake 2 engine. I remember that Duke was suppose to be released around the time Half-life was going to come out. But Half-life got out first and Duke was pushed back. Half-life raised the bar for FPS games and the Duke developement team knew it.
