What the hell is this? I thought the people behind this had to fold due to losses...
My FF.net accountTake 2 still owns it. They HAVE to list 3D Realms, tho.

Jonah FalconDuke: Fuck! Not ANOTHER puzzle!
Jonah FalconIt... just... won't... DIE!
Though, to be honest, I question the use of regenerating health. Where's the health meters? I can't help but think that with an old-school blow-'em-up like Duke Nukem, you need a health meter. He's had them since he was a blob of pixels on a DOS screen, he needs them in full 3D with polygon models.
Don't take life too seriously. It's only a temporary situation.Right now, 3D Realms (listed as Apogee, their legal name) and Take-Two Interactive (the publisher) are in a lawsuit over the former's failure to complete the game, and the code is to remain untouched until the lawsuit ends. So don't expect it to get released for a while

There's an update: this is a fan-made trailer but... DUKE NUKEM FOREVER IS GOLD. Dear Lord... it's nearly the end of this odyssey.
Jonah FalconI know. Look closer at it. Whenever Duke isn't hit for a while, it regenerates.
Don't take life too seriously. It's only a temporary situation.No, it's that it would have been gold if 3D Realms didn't release the entire development team and the game got stuck in legal battle between 3DR and Take 2.
The worst part is that unless this is released to the XBLA, the game will be outdated by the time the lawsuit finishes and will have to be overhauled again.
YKTTW Salvage List@Inkblot: Agreed. Seriously, what engine are they on now?
"Hipsters: the most dangerous gang in the US." - Pacific MackerelNobody knows. There were rumors that the game used the Doom 3/Quake 4 engine a few years ago, but 3D Realms denied that.
YKTTW Salvage ListAny recent news on the lawsuit? Anything I find is still last summer, without a peep since then. The only news in the last six months is this "trailer" (if that's what it is) and the voice actor saying "why can't I talk about it".
And seriously, what's with "Duke Begins" and this "other games" malarkey? Finish DNF first!

We are going to actually see a finalized, purchasable game named Duke Nukem Forever? Heh. You know, my guess is that the game's going to be a pile of crap but people are still going to buy it in ridiculous numbers just because they think it's funny. At least I can be fairly confident in the knowledge that even if every person who has ever made a joke about DNF purchased a copy, they probably still wouldn't make a profit off the monstrosity.
Your funny quote here! (Maybe)I'm not actually interested in playing this game. I find it amazing what it's been through.
And yeah, I make jokes about it.

She's playing with fire! He's not ready for Nibbly Pig!Everyone jokes about this game. I'm fairly certain it's broken records. And not the good kind.
360 Gamertag: Electivirus. 3DS friend code: 5412-9983-8497. PSN ID: Electivirus. PM me if you add me on any.It's not done. If a completed game existed, we'd hear about it through proper press releases or something.
But I really want to know about that lawsuit, darn it! Shouldn't it still be in the news, if only for "this case will take longer to resolve than the game's development!" jokes.
mudshark: I don't expect Nate to make sense, really.To what degree is Duke Nukem Forever forcibly tied to Duke Nukem himself? That is to say, since they're probably gonna throw out everything except the name, can't whoever currently has rights to Duke Nukem forget the "Forever" name and release a Duke Nukem game with a different name? At this point, Forever is a joke, but the Duke himself isn't completely tarnished.
That's Feo . . . He's a disgusting, mysoginistic, paedophilic asshat who moonlights as a shitty writer—Something AwfulThey should have just released another 2D game and claimed they were cashing in on the "retro" craze.
Bag: So, they should have just re-released Manhattan Project, then?
Anyway, while I'm not exactly waiting anxiously for DNF to make its big comeback, all this new footage has to be coming from somewhere...and hopefully not just abandoned 3DRealms demo reels.
