Today a game that's been in development for 15 years is finally completed. 2K Games sent over word via a press release that Duke Nukem Forever, the long awaited sequel to 1996's Duke Nukem 3D, has finally "gone gold', meaning that the game's main development has been completed and is now being replicated onto disks for its release for the PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 platforms.
It's been a long, long time since the game's original developer 3D Realms started working on the game. It first showed off screenshots (using id Software's Quake 1 engine) back in 1997, and in 1998 it actually showed a demo at E3 behind closed doors. Just a few weeks after E3 1998, 3D Realms announced it had switched over to using Epic Games' Unreal Engine to make the game. The next screenshots and a gameplay video were released in 2001, again at E3. After that there was almost nothing released from 3D Realms about Duke Nukem Forever even though the game was still in development.

fyi
come get some.
But can it play Flight Simulator and Lotus 1-2-3?
(Oh. Wrong compatibility question. OOpsie.)
after 15 years it better have a surgical implant!
Forever is a good description as to how long this game has been in development. You would almost think the government was in charge of developing this game considering how long it took.
I’ve got balls of steel
riiiiiight!
Getting it!
What were we just talking about?
Dude, I gotta take a leak. Take my turn but don’t die!
After fifteen years, it’d better be VEEEEEEERY darned good.
My 13-year-old thinks this is big news...bigger than a new single release by Lady GaGa.
Oh.
Hehe. My kids are big fans of the Duke.
