RUMOR Duke Nukem Forever Picked up by Microsoft to be shown at E3

With Duke Nukem 3D being released exclusively on XBLA and having DNF unlockable screens in the game itself, I guess I can kinda believe this rumor.

also Apogee will discuss the state of DNF next week in a conference

upset over your last Duke topic hey?"

I hope it doesn't ever see the light of day, to be honest.

This would be the ONE exclusive I will totally be jealous for.

all good bro

The leaked footage was epic...the middle finger bit was so funny and duke style

I thought the leaked footage looked kind of fun, I think this would be a decent idea.

I love that idea, and I really hope that it's true. Best E3 ever!

I doubt that it'll happen. Microsoft already has enough bubble gum.

I hope they just release the damn thing.

Not really, was not that impressive. But this latest rumor is quite interesting, to say the least."

Actually thats a false statement if I ever heard itMicro$oft NEEDS more first party dev's"

You do realize that MS has recently created some new studios I hope?   THat and their studios are typcally larger/ more productive.

Here's the new studios:
BigPark (bought- made skate, ssx, etc.)
Wingnut (peterjackson/ ryanpayton/ some lead gearbox/ some lead bungie)--- Halo related project
Spawnpoint Studios ( who knows-- they're sort of a mystery, spawnpoint is from some people from gears and other important projects)
Mistwalker (not really new, but pretty recent--- lost odyssey, blue dragon, etc.)
Twisted Pixel--- XBLA games

eh, let it die.

Someone shoot Duke Nukem in the face, and bury his corpse in the 90's.

I have no idea about this, but I couldn't care less about Duke Nukem at this point. The only attraction in the Duke 3D was the stupid fun and parody. I can't see how they can match that, because it is no longer new stuff.

Besides, it would be a pretty poor competitor to other FPSes out there.

"This game will NEVAR come out. It can't!"

Aww man that would be awesome but there is no way its going to happen. Also first post!

They should just let this die

Why should they let it die? if they feel it should come out why complain if they continue to work on it? Seems pointless to complain about it too me. It also seems pointless to let all the work go to waste.

I don't trust the news source.

Sounds fairly plausible though I"m not going to expect anything from these rumours.
