'Duke Nukem Forever' confirmed for 2008, coming to home consoles


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."

This game has been promised for 10 years....lol. I gave up on it.

My thing is if its taken so long to make the freakin game what makes them think they can just port it over to both consoles in like a week lol.

Yeah I was wondering about what the quality of this game will be like. If you made your fan base wait 12 years for a sequel you better take your time and do it right.....I dont think this will be the case. I truly believe its going to flop as bad as Doom did.

Well I disagree with the flop. Only because there is so many people who have waited for this game that it will probably sell well even if it did suck lol.

Kinda like Halo 3......lol

They'll probably push it back another 3 or 4 years again.

They released another "mini" screen today.
