#Duke nukem forever 2007 software#
Take-Two Interactive Software - the publishers behind Borderlands and the Grand Theft Auto series - picked up the rights for Duke Nukem Forever from 3D Realms and handed the keys over to Gearbox Software, the company responsible for first-person shooter Borderlands. The company finally shut its doors in 2009, and the consensus was that Duke Nukem Forever would forever be a vaporware title. And why not - after working on the same game for more than a decade with very little to show for it, the whole company was essentially an inside joke for the gaming community. The game was finally stripped of a release date and the last gamers heard from the testosterone-bleeding Duke was a teaser trailer in 2007.ģD Realms eventually closed its doors after failing to complete the game after more than 13 years of development. The game was plagued with delays due to changes in the game engine and other issues. While originally responsible for Duke Nukem 3D and the rest of the series, the game studio just couldn’t come to a consensus as to what to do with Duke Nukem Forever. Essentially, the game was damned if it did and damned if it did not.ĭuke Nukem Forever was trapped in developmental hell for more than ten years under Scott Miller and 3D Realms. It became a bit of a cult phenomenon, and expectations for the most recent title were extremely high. If you have a friend who claims they have 'inside info', or there's some game news site, or some computer. Anything else, and we mean anything else is someone's speculation. Summary: The release date of this game is 'When it's done'.
The game was extremely violent and was controversial for its depiction of women as sex objects. Mixed or average reviews based on 1277 Ratings. In the original 1996 game, the main character, Duke Nukem 3D, was a studly, cigar-chomping, and highly weaponized bad ass and struck a chord with young rebellious males playing games for the first time. The game, which was one of the most iconic vaporware titles of all time, finally got a release date and went gold last month ( and we’re pretty sure hell froze over around the same time).
