Duke Nukem release date announced ...sort of

[CptStern]

Garland-based video games developer 3D Realms has confirmed Duke Nukem Forever, the highly anticipated sequel to its revolutionary 1996 PC game Duke Nukem 3D, is headed for retail release in late 2008, and will be coming to Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3 home video game consoles, as well as the PC.

"We haven't formally announced any platforms for DNF," wrote 3D Realms President Scott Miller in an e-mail exchange. "But, of course hitting the big three makes the most sense (PC, PS3, 360)."

Miller added a note of caution on the 12-years-coming sequel and its release window, claiming, "we may miss the mark by a month or two, but I feel very confident that we're on target this time."

Duke Nukem Forever is not the only 3D Realms title coming to home video game consoles in 2008. Miller also confirmed the existence of a downloadable Xbox Live Arcade version of Duke Nukem 3D, which will feature on-line multiplayer support, Xbox Live achievements, on-line score boards, and a co-op mode.

"We're really excited about bringing classic Duke to the 360," said Miller during an interview. "We're talking to Microsoft about getting a release slot sometime this year."

I'll believe it when I see it ..and even then ..meh it was so long ago I forgot what the appeal was

Duke Nukem Forever is vaporware.

 

[99.vikram]

Team Fortress 2 is vaporware.

I'm ready for my infraction now.

 

[CyberPitz]

You know, I can't wait to play Duke Nukem Forever...I miss playing a game where the main character downs bottles of steriods every few minutes, throws money at strippers, shits down the enemy's neck, and is a genuine bad ass.

Why Rent? torrents are the poor mans riches... plus the pirates booty... :naughty:

 

[CptStern]

you can torrent xbox360 games now?

 

[CyberPitz]

you can torrent xbox360 games now?

I'm sure someone has a way of getting burnt disks to work in their 360...through modding or emulators on the HDD of some sort. Since I don't have a 360, I haven't really looked too deep into it, but my assumptions are still there

 

[Rapstah]

It's definately possible through use of a King Kong DVD.

 

[CptStern]

ya but why bother when I can just rent? and use the xbox live service ..just seems like too much of a hassle not too mention I'm stealing people's work

 

[hot564231]

you can torrent xbox360 games now?

Yea you can as a matter of fact, you should have seen *unnamed site* game download's for Bioshock, the 360 version was out first too...

Edit: althought you need a modded 360...

 

[CptStern]

ya but that means putting in a mod chip no? which also gets you permanently kicked from xboxlive

 

[hot564231]

Buy a second 360 to mod, your rich aren't you

 

[CptStern]

no and ....no

 

[hot564231]

I'd rather download the pc version anyway, as long as it wasn't a graphics whore like bio-****ing-shock.

 

[CyberPitz]

I plan on buying this. Hell, they 'worked' on it for so long, they deserve a little bit of my money, at least. Man, hopefully the PC version comes packaged with Duke3D. Though, if it doesn't, I've got the High Res version that works wonders, still

 

[Saturos]

Team Fortress 2 is vaporware.

I'm ready for my infraction now.

Obviously not it seems.

 

[Crushenator 500]

Haha, it's been in development for so long that it has the possibility of being dumbed down for consoles

 

[99.vikram]

Haha, it's been in development for so long that it has the possibility of being dumbed down for consoles

Duke Nukem...dumbed down...does not compute. Negative value is out of bounds.

 

[Houndini]

i cannot wait for this game, it looks good
