Duke Nukem Forever: don't believe the rumors, it's not done

According to a report in the Dallas Business Journal, Duke Nukem Forever, the game whose title carefully reflected development length, will come out in 2008 for next-gen systems. 3D Realms front-man and President, Scott Miller, confirmed a late 2008 release, padding the claim with "we may miss the mark by a month or two, but I feel very confident that we're on target this time," landing the game at a February 2009 release at the latest. But, really?

According to our lovely friends at Joystiq, 3D Realms isn't so sure those statements were made. Scott Miller shrugs his shoulders and the company has issued a statement, saying quite clearly: "The release date is still 'when it's done,' and will be until the appropriate moment. Platforms have not been finalized or announced." So there you have it. Don't believe the rumors — it's still more or less vaporware.
