Duke Nukem Forever: Close to Completion?

According to 3D Realms CEO George Broussard, the Duke Nukem Forever development team hit another "milestone"
Duke Nukem (it’ll take) Forever has been in the works for a very long time. While most of us have long since given up on the game (and put the possibility of Duke Nukem Forever up there with the Tooth Fairy and Santa Clause), those of you still looking for that one piece of news that justifies the shred of hope you so desperately cling to need look no further; this should tide you over for the next couple of years.
The Duke Nukem Forever team have apparently hit another milestone in production. According to 3DRealms' CEO George Broussard, the company passed another milestone last week. While Broussard didn’t say which milestone had been passed he did say that the team had roughly “71 more tasks to do” and that they had started with probably 800 to 900.
Before anyone starts hyperventilating, let's rain on the parade. We’re not about to get excited about these Tweets. Don’t forget, Duke Nukem is but one title that 3DRealms is working on and these status updates could be referring to any one of the other games 3DRealms has on its to-do list, like Prey 2. Still, it’s nice to dream.

Boutique Graphics PCs Duke It Out
Does twice the price ever produce a product that's twice as nice? Systems from AVA Direct and Digital Storm compete to answer that question.

shake it baby...

71 more? So another 2 years?
And what happens when they have to rewrite the graphics engine again?
Or did they rent the Cryengine so that it will never be able to run at highest settings?
Oh god, oh god!! Forever is coming.
Er. Well, we all live up to see if we live forever, but I really don't think DKF will live up to the hype we had going since forever (I hear that story every year or so, so I'm not really expecting the game).
In b4 another delay. The game's never coming out and we should accept this.

You can't take that long to build shooters... technology leaves you in the dust and your game ends up bargain bin fare.
The game will never be completed. Every time they get anywhere near completion, the engine they used has become so outdated that they need to switch and start over. They'll also need to replace all the original 256x256 16bit textures designed for the Voodoo2 with new, high resolution ones, redo all the 100-polygon models and update all the other artwork.
After this long it better end up game of the year for 5 years straight if it actually releases. It was an amazing game i loved it more than anything. I bet they actually release it within a year. If so i will be the first to buy it.
Time to kick ass and chew bubble gum and im all outta gum
If there is only one thing certain in this chaotic world we live in its don't bet on Duke. I will not believe anything said about the development of this game until its on a store shelf and even then I will have to rub my eyes to make sure I am not hallucinating and pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming.
Hmmm... if they originally had 900 tasks and now only have 71 tasks left then that means they've accomplished 829 tasks since development started. Lets assume that development started in April 1997 when it was first announced. That's 829 tasks in 12 years. So 69.1 tasks per year. So, if they carry on at the rate they've been going, they could release maybe Summer 2010. :-P

Funniest website ever, LMAO.
What's twitter?
Its a site used by twits.
Who needs Twitter when you can get Jane@Tom's Hardware?
The useless facebook crap is enough for me, so no twitter account and I wish this site will go down.
But I dont think the game engine is compatible with vista, maybe on XP with the 98SE compatibility enabled.
lol this is taken from the site...

"" The release date of this game is "When it's done". Anything else, and we mean anything else is someone's speculation. There is no date. We don't know any date.

71 more tasks, sounds like 71 years to me

That is too awesome. Seriously though, why has it been so long. I have a theory. Gameplay mechanics, thats what was so special about Duke in the first place. Once they have that setup they just plug it into a game engine (take your pick, crytek, epic, id). This game better have some freakin' awesome MP though.

Take it from me...it's meant in good taste, nothing more than a compliment about you and Tom's although still a little miffed about "Second Take" boys.
71 tasks to reach a milestone. How many milestones until Beta, thats what i want to know.
Ya and when we need a patch for the game to run i bet that will take about 5 years. Sounds about right.

Thanks.

That game was awesome!!
I'll find a chair and after that maybe a coffin because that game will take forever to come out.
A little behind on this news there Tom's...
Duke nukem forever is more disappointing then the sonic cycle
Huh. I was expecting this to be a late April Fool's Day joke, or at least a rickroll or something...
A little behind on this news there Tom's...
I guess this would be a perfect example of what you were talking about Jane.
Cant wait for it to be on Pirate Bay.
Im not going to pay for it, even if its good, I am not going to pay for it, ill just simply take it.
Yarr harr harr scurvy be my widow.
