And just to recap, a list of whats happened sense DNF was announced (slightly out of date):
http://duke.a-13.net/
Some highlights include:
- Every peer to peer file sharing program including Napster was developed.
- The entire Geforce and Radeon lines of graphics cards are newer than Duke Nukem Forever, as well as both brand's predecessors, the Nvidia TNTs and ATI's RAGE
- The Voyager 1 spacecraft has travelled 8.8 billion miles from Earth.
- Approximately 509,373,306 people have died and 661,373,082 have been born.
Some things that took less time then DNF:
- The theory of General Relativity.
- The United States' entire program to put a man on the moon, from Kennedy's challenge to the landing.
- World War I
- World War II and the entire Manhattan project.
- Alexander The Great's conquest of Persia

cant wait to play it! woooo
also nice to hear about someing in real life before hearing about it on the internetz.
probably not.
Hope it ships with UnrealEd3. Duke3d shipping with Build was a big part of its early success. So much sectoreffector-powered creativity bolstered within the mapping community.
wait till it goes budget.:D
NOW GET BACK TO BORDERLANDS 2!!!!!!!
Stadium multiplayer, anyone?
Thought it was based around a very modified id4 engine?
whether it is good or not, is not the selling point
Crazy to see this thing finally hitting the shelves. I was kind of hoping that Gearbox would sit on it for another decade, and then pass it along to some other high-profile developer as the longest-running gag in the game industry.
I think it's still on a really-screwed-with UnrealEngine2.
Best trailer yet, sorta pumped for this game again. The 1 minute mark brings back so many epic multiplayer memories.
Congrats to everyone that worked development in history
