Garland-based video games developer 3D Realms has said Duke Nukem Forever, the highly anticipated sequel to its revolutionary 1996 PC game Duke Nukem 3D, is projected to be completed in late 2008, with versions likely for Microsoft's Xbox 360, Sony's PlayStation 3 home video game consoles and personal computers.

"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 can't make an official announcement. Frankly, we may miss the mark by a month or two, but I feel very confident that we're on target this time. Its definitely an internal push."

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."

For more about Duke Nukem Forever, developer 3D Realms, and the North Texas video games industry at-large, pick up the Feb. 15, 2008 edition of the Dallas Business Journal for a special report.

An earlier version of this story said 3D Realms had "confirmed" the game's release in late 2008. The current version also features an expanded quote from Miller regarding the possible release window.

I think most Duke fans are at the point where if it does get released: its going to suck, nobody will care, and go back to playing classic Duke

It was just a typo, they really meant 2080.

They should be releasing Duke Nukem for XBLA though which is also good news.

I've waited 11 years for this game (even though i pretty much forgot about it for about 9 of those years), even if the gameplay is ass there should still be some quality entertainment to glean out of Duke's oneliners and the usual random crap they stuff into their games.

One can only pray for another scene as awesome as him ripping off a bosses head and taking a dump down his neckhole. There's been so much random pop culture crap over the last decade that I'm sure there will be lots of good comedy moments.
