Like you can rely on 3D Realms to do anything.
Don't get me wrong, 3D Realms loves the idea of emerging from the smoking crater hole, holding aloft the fabled Duke Nuken Forever, rubbing it in all the naysayers faces.
Two facts: They wont. If they do, the game wont be special anyway.
Duke Nukem came out in 1996 when I was eight years old and even to an eight year old it came across as big, immature and dumb - and nothing against that, those were all good points for the game... but it was nothing special. It was a rough, tough messy alien shooter and it was damn good at it. But come on, that stuff doesn't seriously impress people any more does it? It's still fun sure but a new Duke Nukem would hardly revolutionise gaming if it kept to the same formular - and my guess is that it would.
But it's all a moot point because it wont exist. If 3D Realms couldn't pull together a samey shooter, (or even a REVOLUTIONARY shooter,) in the fourteen plus years it's taken so far then why would it bother now? If I knew somone who was being paid to work on something for 14 years and couldn't produce it I wouldn't just give them another chance. 14 years people. That's a fairly big chunk of fucking time.
I don't know about any more facts but here are two truths: Stop deluding yourselves. Get rid of the notion that Duke Nukem Forever was ever worth caring about.
