...is never coming out.
3D Realms has been shut down.

I've been dreaming of this game before I dreamed of having pubes :-(

Can't say I'm happy about it, but it's nice to have closure on it. I'm surprised they held on as long as they did.

*gasps*

....but DNF might still be continued on by another studio??

It's been so long I've just forgotten about this game. XD

Personally, I think "Duke Nukem Forever is never coming out" would've been just as true a statement before 3D Realms closed down.

ShadowKeeper

I don't know if that studio was ever going to finish that game... I also can't believe they lasted that long!  Hopefully they'll give it to another studio.

Funny how Duke Nukem Forever acronym is DNF. That is the same as Did Not Finish.

Also there is still somewhat hope that the project may continue according to a couple articles I read that was released from them. But its standing at vary slim for now.

The publisher of the game is apparently suing 3D Realms for failing to produce this game in due time.  I mean, FFS, it was a first person shooter.  Criminey... just release the damn thing already!

In case you guys haven't seen it. :O

Wow. I only just started looking at it and... the entire Grand Theft Auto series fit in between those two dates. It was so long ago that I played the first GTA that it seems like another life.

Duke Nukem Forever was announced the same year I met Ravenwood, and it seems like I've known him for-freaking-ever.

I just like this one near the end:

"World War II and the entire Manhattan Project. Yes, even the complete development of the atomic bomb took less time."

I kinda lost all hope for DNF to ever come out since 2007, and it didn't surprise me one bit that 3D Realms shut down because of it, despite my love for Duke Nukem.

When Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation did a hilarious "review" of the supposed "game", some idiot sent him an email going "HAY WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GAME I HAS BEEN WAITING FOR IT D'HURR". I laughed so hard at that, while my mind couldn't process just how pants-on-head retarded he was for sending Yahtzee that email.
I understand that scissors can beat paper, and I get how rock can beat scissors, but there's no way paper can beat rock. Paper is supposed to magically wrap around rock, leaving it immobile? Why can't paper do this to scissors? Screw scissors, why can't paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because paper can't beat anybody; a rock would tear it up in two seconds. When I play Rock-Paper-Scissors, I always choose rock. Then, when somebody claims to have beaten me with their paper, I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist, and say, "Oh sorry, I thought paper would protect you."
