You see that horrible looking picture up there? It's an actual, 100% official image from Duke Nukem Forever. 3D Realms president George Broussard posted it himself on Job Seeker. The image is apparently in game and after ten years, that's the best they could finally show to us. Don't get me wrong, I'm not bashing the graphics from the image. The game could have 32X graphics for all I care now. I'm bashing the fact that after all of this time, THEY ONLY HAVE ONE PICTURE TO SHOW US! I loved Duke Nukem: Time to Kill and of course Duke Nukem 3D. All they have been doing is running this franchise into the ground.
So what do you think? 3D Realms also took their sweet time with Prey. It was in development for eight years and when it did finally come out, it was pretty good.

I'm with the "when its done" crowd. I hope one day it'll come out and have the Duke humor and just be entertaining to play.
Regardless of the delays and jokes at least 3DRealms doesn't shove screen caps and media in everyones face every six months. If they want to take their own sweet time with it and not dick tease while they do it then fair play to them.
Does anyone really think they'll be able to deliver on 10 years of expectations?
And yes, see CoD, MoH for run the franchise into the ground with yearly expansion packs, sorry, new versions.
*I say Fuckin A to 3DRealms for doing whatever the hell they want, they seem to be living off their own buck and aren't milking the 'Forever' game just to score some money out of our pocket. I hope they've spent the last 10 years spunking their money on hookers, booze and lap dances.
I too doubt that is an ingame shot. Looks very prerendered to me. Is it just me or is the Duke looking old? maybe they are doing an MSG4..
"the problem is that when we show it, people are going to be like, 'yeah, whatever'. honestly, at this point we just want to finish it."
There is so much more stuff out these days that could be referenced and parodied in Forever. Both games and movies. Thing is, lots of Duke fans will have moved on to other things after the huge gap between games, they really need to make sure it appeals to the new generation of gamers.
Anyways, I'll most definitely be buying it as Duke Nukem 3D was a childhood memory of mine. Fav quotes:
"I wanna kick ass and chew bubblegum but I'm all out of gum!"
"Let God sort 'em out!"
"I'm Duke Nukem and I'm coming for the rest of you alien bastards!"
"Oooh! That's gonna leave a mark!"
"Hehehe. What a mess!"
I'm sorry but I could not resist going on a nostalgia trip there.
I still think Shadow Warrior was funnier though. :)
Which will you be enduing first: Chinese Democracy or Duke Nukem Forever?
Oh yeah, and hot chicks to save.
Then it will rock.
That, is a story of a man dedicated to making a good game.
