If you told your spouse that the two of you would be together until Duke Nukem Forever hit shelves in an attempt to be absolutely precious, it might be time to start sweating. According to a tweet by 3D Realms man George Broussard, Duke Nukem Forever’s unending development cycle may soon be leaving the death-and-taxes consistency club.
“Closing out a milestone this week. 71 more tasks to do and we started with probably 800-900. Been a good push. Next one starts Monday,” he tweeted.
After some rudimentary math, we’ve determined that – assuming development continues at a nice clip – Duke will be back in business sometime next year. Guess the Mayans were a little off with their apocalypse calculations.

Why does everyone have their panties in a bunch? Maybe the game will suck. Maybe it will never actually get released. Maybe it will be the best damn thing your PC will ever have had on its hard drive. I thinks its pretty hard to judge a game before its released?
Doesn't mean we can't have a little fun at their expense in the mean time. But seriously, can we come up with some new jokes?

Maybe this game is just a long drawn out joke by the developers. Duke Nukem Forever!!!!!!! This game may never see the light of day. And it would surpise me if it actually did.

i think i will stick to my DOSBox and the ORIGINAL Duke Nukem scroller. i can believe Blizzard when they say, "it's done when it's done" approach, but Forever may be taking a bit too long, though Ghost looked promising at the time. they are probably working on putting so much DRM on it so it can't be pirated, or something.
think the graphics will be outdated by the time it dinishes, if it has not already? if they keep putting it off, i think it should be in the next few Guiness World Record books.

This game has been in development since i was around 6 or 7. I heard about it when i was 8, i didn't care when i was 11...i'm 19, and i'll never care. They're taking too long.
I don't like Microsoft, I associate with it.

You realize that this game WILL suck no matter what they put out. There is nothing they can do about that. "Developing" for over a decade dooms it to failure no matter what.

TF2 was in development for what, 9 years? So 10 is the breakpoint for failure?

why even waste the kb to post this. no one cares about dnf and its milestones. why wipe your ass with bark when cottenelle is so much better?

We've heard this same crap before over and over. Don't believe ANYthing and don't buy into the hype. Until I see it....I won't believe it. It's been over 13 years since the first one came out with promise of a sequel for more than 10 years.
Here's the reality: Duke Nukem Forever is "DNF", right? DNF really stands for "Did Not Finish". While I'd like to see it, I'm not holding my breath (anymore).

When they get down to the last task to get done, the company will go out of business and we will never get to taste the fruit that is Duke Nukem Take Forever.
That is what the game should be called is Duke Nukem Take Forever.

They can say what the will, but I will believe this game is coming out when I see it on a store shelf.... or Steam.

You what's funny? After 12+ years of development, the game turns out to be a bomb.
do the math
Submitted by Nuxes on Wed, 04/15/2009 - 6:26pm
Let's see here, 12 years, 85% done, the game should be out in 1.8 years.
