Duke Nukem Forever Still In Development.

Yeah- and The Notorious B.I.G and Tupac are alive and well and secretly producing music at a private, undisclosed location somewhere in the Caribbean.

Also, Jimmy Hoffa is still alive. Dane Cook is actually funny, and Ronald Reagan was the greatest President the United States has ever had.

I think at this point they should have to pay outlets to announce anything about the game. They've had more than several times the free coverage they deserve given what they've shown for it so far.

@coolguyface: Many people will want to play this game but not necessarily because it will be amazing but because the mentality will be that of people paying $60 dollars to see a car accident :(

I admire whoever still has the strength in them to give a shit about this game.

Look, I had fun with Duke Nukem 3D like everybody else 13 years ago, but even if this thing gets made, what are the chances, realistically, that it won't suck?

The FPS genre is already oversaturated and mostly stale. It's going to take more than strippers and a few 1990's action hero one-liners to make this game anything else than the industry's biggest joke.

I don't think it's too surprising. Could this be the most hyped game ever? Hype sells a game. We know it does. If it ever had been released (assuming it was legitimately being developed and wasn't just a ruse to keep a sinking ship afloat) and did well, the gamble would have paid of hugely in the fact that it would have rekindled a franchise. Noting they probably wouldn't have made the money back on this game, but on the spin-offs and add-pn packs etc.

I too am non-plussed about the prospect of a never-coming-out game that will only exist to disappoint.

I would call for a boycott of this game, but that would require the game to come out.

@slamdance: Why would you want to boycott it? Have the developers or publishers wronged you in any way? Being in development a long time isn't really a valid reason, neither is overly extensive coverage in industry press.

@MadMinstrel: I don't know about you, but I'm getting tired of being tantalized with the prospect of finally getting my gritty palms on a Duke Nukem sequel, only to be tricked time and time again. It's either a testament for 3D Realm's penchant for fine detail, or the worst practical joke in videogame history. Quite frankly, given the chance, I wouldn't mind erasing this sad event from memory altogether. It's like they keep deciding to prolong development after their current technology becomes obsolete or something...

@Insert clever moniker here: I share your sentiment. But not buying something because you lost interest is not the same as boycotting. Boycotting is when people who would normally be interested in the product decide not to buy for some reason or another, usually ideological in nature, in hopes that they will thereby force the manufacturer to correct their behaviour. It's impossible for 3D Realms to make their development cycle shorter now and press coverage of legal events concerning the product is not something they can influence or control. Therefore a boycott would be pointless.

@MadMinstrel: I think he's trying to be a bit facetious with the boycott remark, yet another shot at how it will never actually amount to a released game.

It could also be that 3DR said "goodbye" without actually leaving, and DNF was "dead" without actually being dead.

Umm ... guys, this is not a "balanced" filing. This is Take-Two's claim, which may or may not be valid ... or even have to do with reality.

It's like two people you know are in a fight, and you decide who is at fault by listening to only one of them. Wait until more info comes out before you jump to any conclusions.

Take-Two approaches Apogee at a secret, undisclosed location.

"Hey, since we're so deep into this, a port to the 360 would be nice, and may be painless enough to allow us to maximize returns. No worries, we'll fund it."

"Sorry bra', no-can-do," apogee apologizes, halfheartedly.

"But... we have the contractual freedom to select an additional platform for the release," Take-Two reminded Apogee.

Apogee sat quietly for a moment, collecting its thoughts. "It's done when it's done."

"How does that even apply?!" Take-Two erupted with frustration. "Fine, if you can't do it, we also have the contractual freedom to find someone who can. And, when I do, you'll be obligated to lend them assets and source code."

"Shitfuck!" Apogee thought, at the realization of its uselessness. "Fuck shitfuck!"

Apogee turned to its employees, looked quietly upon their quiet, serene faces, before speaking softly. "Operation: Scorched Earth"

Employees scrambled in a panic in response to the code word, sabotaging anything that could be useful in Take-Two's efforts to bring their decade-spanning child to another family.

Apogee took one last moment to look down at Take-Two's request for exporting resources before panning its view across the decimated ruins it left in its wake.

"Hail to the king... baby."
