Giving 3D Realms a lot of credit by claiming they'll have it out THAT soon!
My guess...which is not expert at all...would be that they are using this specific version of UE3 to put that extra shine on the 360 version for some hot console sales...and I would more than likely bet that it won't show up on PS3 until much later down the line ala Bioshock. Not saying anything bad about the PS3, but typically, it seems like Microsoft wants first dibs on this sort of stuff to help promote their XBL.
What kind of saddens me is that 3D Realms is using UE3. They are using their fucking competitor's graphics engine. Sure, it's one of the most powerful on the market...but for crying out loud? That would be like id Software saying Doom 4 was built with UE3!!!

If you mean DN3D and Prey, Prey does not count. Publish does not equal develop.
"If you mean DN3D and Prey, Prey does not count. Publish does not equal develop."
But it does mean support."
However, they did not make (or develop), Prey."
Don't worry; I don't think this is true either, I'm just saying that they did support the game on 360 by publishing it. Support's important these days.
This is a non-news 'article' sorry, but these articles are getting so common on game news sites, 'rumor exclusive', where is the citation? Where has this rumor begun? Sounds like it's begun as a news article on Xbox Evolved with the intention of getting a few extra clicks, maybe a hyperlink on Kotaku, to get more clicks and thus advertising their website. I mean look at their title header, "talk it out... on Xbox Evolved's forums", they just want shock clicks to their website. Where is the citation that every screenshot released was on the Xbox 360 game, does the writer mean specifically the shots unlocked in Duke Nukem 3D or all screenshots, ever released for the Duke Nukem Forever game? Leaving such things vague makes it open to argument on the gaming forums; again, encouraging their own forum to be used as the means to do it.

Why are they confident? Because the citation-less conjecture boldly stating every screenshot, ever released for DNF, was X360 screens? Published Directly By Microsoft? 2K Games is the publisher for Duke Nukem Forever, when has 2K Games ever allowed a third party to publish their game? Never. My Citation Here. This is a rumor created by Xbox Evolved with the intention of getting a handful more clicks on their website. Nothing more. Hardly professional journalism and hardly news worthy.

True, the point I should be trying to get across is this: There was speculation a few months ago about DNF making it to possibly the 360/PS3, but that was it. As far as we all know, this "game" is slated for a PC release, eventually.
That article fails. The website is basing all of their rumors on the fact that Duke Nukem: Forever MIGHT be using the same version of Unreal Engine 3 as Gears of War.
Why even post this honestly...just so you have one more "omg xbox360>all " thread? The chance that Duke Nukem Forever even comes out in this lifetime of this generation is pretty much doubtful. Hell its doubtful it will be out by 2015 or later at this rate.
