Duke Nukem Taking Forever

Every so often I wonder if the infamous Duke Nukem Forever project is still being worked on. Well there isn't any progress update yet but a recent article from GamesIndustry shows that at least they are alive. What happened was that some enterprising invidual decided to make a mod of the original Duke Nukem 3D game using the Source engine from Half Life 2. Apparently 3D Realms didn't like the fact that some other person was making progress on a true 3D version of their 1996 hit game so they shut him down. Pretty cheesy if you ask me. The web article also talks about a possible E3 2005 demo of DNF.


"Come get some!"

George Broussard, owner of 3D Realms has responded with the following on his web forum, "All I will say is that nobody outside the walls of this office has any idea what we are planning or not planning to do. As always, unless you hear something directly from us, you'd be wise to take it with a truckload of salt."

Further screenshots of the 'mod that will never be' can be seen here.
