The one from 2008 is actually silly in comparison. I think 3D Realms has failed beyond any scope we have previously imagined. The DN:F featured in the trailer from 2001 would have rivaled Half-Life.

The reason Duke Nukem Forever has been delayed for so long is the result of a lot of bad luck and bad timing. When it was first announced, it was to use an engine similar to Quake. After realizing the limitations of that engine and the release of the Unreal engine, they decided to convert to that. Then, they lost a sizable amount of team members, which delayed the game yet again. Half-Life was released and they decided to move to that engine and restart the DNF project. Again, more bad luck, losing team members, then more bad timing as not being able to finish the game before a new engine is released, thus making their game look like shit, etc. Yeah, they just have really bad timing and really bad luck. Hopefully, one day, this game will be finished, take advantage of the newest engines and be awesome. I still await that day. I remember looking in a gaming magazine and seeing the release day for DNF as February 9th, 1997. It is now November 25th, 2008. Nerd mode off. Okay, switching to nerd mode.

But 3D Realms is still 3D Realms, consisting of mostly the same people, so I think they'll get it right in the end.

I remember seeing Boogerman and Conker's Bad Fur Day and thinking "yeah, in the glorious gaming future, no one will be able to scrape together the money to produce that." Except Psychonauts; that game rules. Also, the Real Doll FAQ page has some of the best, and presumably frequently asked, questions about rubber sex toys EVER. Do spoof games still make money?

FPS’s have moved beyond the B.J." Blazkowicz’s and Quake protagonists that Duke Nuken was intending to parody, (and on a larger scale, action movie heroes like John McClane and “Dirty” Hairy Callahan.) The humor would need a serious update, (along with Duke himself) to be relevant and engaging as a game. That’s not to say an effective modern FPS spoof couldn’t be done! It needs to take the approach of Shaun of the Dead, (as in being a satire and a damn good zombie movie at the same time). Games he’ll need to parody now: Halo, Half-Life, BioShock, Call of Duty games, etc. while using one of these game's engines at the same time! Ok, nerd moment over, you may now go on with your lives.

I remember playing Duke Nukem back in the day. But have they really been working on the game for 10 years? Fucking hell!

I played it through like 30 times. That was mainly cause I was a poor bastard that could only afford one game, but still it rocked! Now finally the sequel is here. HOT DAMN! I think I've saved up enough to afford my second game. Does anyone know if this will still run on my Pentium 1? Or should I finally upgrade to the Pentium 2? Either way my family is going on a diet.
