Yeah I first read it on 1up. I been following since 2 am and watch the 3drealm site go down. As for their forums, some intresting post had been posted but mystery disappear the "ghost" pages 10 and 12. The intresting post on George's twitter (April 13th), the funding issue(???) with Take2, the Duke Nukem Forever title and epic 3drealm testing for unreal engine back to 2001. the rebirth of Apogee

and this

Gaming is Stupid The Chair Story (revival)
Note that it has been said that its fake.... but is it?

If only they had got DNF out when they should have. They should have done more in the past 5 years other than producing and publishing.

Who has DNF on pre-order?

I havent done the pre-order, but I have read some people on the forums had made a pre-order since 01. and the store that took their pre-order money closed. lol

I was looking on the Wiki and I didn't know Prey was in development for such a long time...

Prey in 1997



Prey in 2006

Anyone wanna Play their good old Duke Nukem 3d? online (I couldn't remember the keys)

I remember playing the game on line on my 14.4 modem and 28.8 I also remember lag was a issue sometimes and before a match would start, people would type wait 10 seconds (don't move) for the connections to clear up (don't know how much it worked lol)

Since '97! I wonder why they take so long? They must burn through cash before the games go gold.

Too many people changing their minds over and over and over....

Sounds like the Chinese Democracy album

my boss is a big duke fan... he emailed this to me this morning i almost starting crying.

[Jeffro]

quote of the day... i was reading one of the many articles that came out today about this fiasco and one guys says:

"if Duke Nukem Forever does eventually come out, that thing better be the gaming equivalent of the freaking Mona Lisa"

so very true....

[Jeffro]

no to keep the rumor mill alive but.... i'm seeing a couple comments around on all these sites and blogs i been reading that this is just one big late "april fools" joke and that dnf will soon be announced.

Sounds more like Howard Hughs who had the entire movie "Hell's Angels" in the can and reshot the whole thing because it was silent and "talkies" had just come out.

Hohoho, and 3D Realms is now being sued by Take-Two Interactive claiming that they've been led on for years and years......
