It makes no sense that we're getting more news on Duke Nukem Forever after the game has finally been canceled then we ever got when the game was in development, but that's the way it is. The latest information about a game that will never be coming out is the platforms it was destined for. It looks like 3D Realms was pushing the game towards the 360 and PC.
Jay Brushwood's LinkedIn profile gives us the answer that doesn't really matter since we'll never be playing it on either platform. This does spark a little hope that Microsoft could pick the game up as it was an exclusive on their system, but that's a really, really small hope. Even if it does come out, the game would have to be the greatest thing ever to live up to the development, cancelations and hype.

It may involve us using time machines and stealing it but by god we will play it
Finally something about this game that actually makes sense even if kinda obvious.
I saw no where that the game was cancelled, just the team that was creating was let go, it is still possible that another team or studio is working on it.
Poor guy, just can't let it go after all these years..
and chances are that game will be mediocre once the retro goggles factor has been removed from the series.
also i can't help but think my local politician is actually a shapeshifting LIZARD DEEEEMMMOOOONNN!!!!
