Duke Nukem Forever is the oft-delayed sequel to 3D Realms' First-Person Shooter, Duke Nukem 3D, staring 3D Realms' controversal character, Duke Nukem. Duke Nukem Forever was announced in 1997 on the Quake II engine and then was switched to the Unreal Engine in 1998. Since that time, it has been rumoured that the game has gone through multiple iterations. Duke Nukem Forever has gained a high level of infamy due to it's long development time and repeated delays, and has become the butt of many online jokes.
The game was supposed to take place in Las Vegas, and would feature the return of Dr. Proton, the villian from the original Duke Nukem. There was also supposed to be a new female character, Bombshell, said to be Duke's equal. Not much else is known about the game and 3D Realms has been tight lipped about it's development; having only released a few handfuls of screen shots, and two gameplay movies: One released in 1998, using the Quake II based game, and one in 2001 using the Unreal game engine. The only recent news about DNF is that 3D Realms recently has added a new physics middleware engine, Meqon, to the game. The physics are apparently going to surpass those found in Half-Life 2.
On December 19, 2007, a new teaser trailer was released.[1]
