Might finally be coming out. Never played the Nukem games....they didn't really seem that good when I sampled 3D and I liked Doom and Wolf3D better.
But yeah....after 13 years in development, a product is finally coming out with the title "Duke Nukem Forever". I have to wonder how much was simply just re-skinning some other game to just make it a "Duke Nukem" brand considering just how long the whole thing took to come out and how many generations of games came out in between and how much games advanced.
The videos of people playing the demos at PAX, the game doesn't look like anything special. One video was downright sad because some guy was talking in hyperbole as most nerds do (I'm guilty of it, too) and he got to saying "this is a major shift in my....." and he paused and it was such a horrific pause because you can tell he can tell just how pitiful that statement is but he knows he has to finish it "....life". Then he tries to back it up with saying that the game had been in development for the majority of his cognizant life (I assume he means since he was 4 or something). Man...some people get so hyped up over the mean pithy little piece of nothing that gets released so long as it has the right name/nostalgia/camp value.

^Video ironically released just before Duke Nukem Forever started to really hit rumors and got confirmed as finally coming out. Hits pretty hard on what expectations should be for the game.

The little bit of gameplay I saw looked like a very unsophisticated sort of shoot-em-up with very little in the way of innovation.
I actually find that very refreashing in today's age of "This won't sell if we don't rip off Halo and/or Call of Duty as hard as possible." Even Halo is now ripping off Call of Duty which ripped off Halo
