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."

I will believe it when I see it. Such an unfortunate name considering its reputation lol.

Maybe they should have waited until it is shipped to stores before announcing it.

I thought "the big three" was Wii, 360, and PS3. The PC is sort of in a category of its own.

Well, if this game gets released it will be too little, too late. I mean, this Duke Nukem game took FOREVER to be developed and for what? A clone of the Duke Nukem games with different levels and shinier graphics?

Perhaps this game should be cancelled and swept under the rug in hopes that people will forget about it.

How do you know there are better games out now when you haven't even played DNF yet? Just because "you" forgot about it doesn't mean it won't be good. It means that you won't be expecting it when it comes.
