When it comes to games that have long been stuck in an imaginary development hell, there are few projects that can compete with a shooter. Duke Nukem forever. Her the creation was officially announced by 3D Realms in 1997, so we will not see the final games until 2011.thanks to 2K Games and creators Borderlands from the gearbox software. The problem, however, was that 14 years later, a game came out that was, from the point of view of most players and fans, desperately average and dated.

Given such a long development and, as a result, the unsatisfactory state of the game, Duke Nukem Forever naturally formed. a community of enthusiasts who like to keep track of how the project looked before and what changes it actually went through. And now this is clearly her second Christmas. According to Duke4.net, a user with the nickname x0r appeared on the 4Chan forum and began to claim that he had fallen into his hands. version of Duke’s famous adventure dating from 2001.. And to prove it, he posted several gameplay snippets.
Yes, the leak looks real. Well, I’m not particularly interested in talking about it or remembering a painful past. You have to lower your expectations a lot. There is no real game. Just a small number of barely populated test levels. I have no idea who leaked it.

Since this is 4Chan, a forum that deserves even less trust and positive words than the final Duke Nukem Forever from Gearbox, it was quite easy to doubt the authenticity or at least the timeliness of the published materials. However, he soon spoke George Broussardone of the key developers of 3D Realms and, in some ways, the father of the Duke Nukem series we know today. According to available information, Broussard had a hand in the development of Duke Nukem Forever for many years.stating on Twitter that the materials look real. But he is not very interested in talking about the project and thereby returning to the painful past..
Broussard also noted that he has no idea who is behind the leak and that players should keep their enthusiasm in check. According to him, what x0r has access to is not a fully playable game, but rather a set of low-traffic test maps. The user who came up with the leak confirmed that this is definitely not a finished productbut according to him it contains almost all the chapters of the game, although of course some levels look better than others.
During June/June x0r even intends to publish the source code and editor of the version he has in his possession.. So all we have to do is wait to see if he keeps his promise and what comes of it. The rights to the Duke Nukem brand are currently owned by Gearbox, which, like half of the gaming industry, is part of the Embracer Group, so it is possible that if the escaped Duke Nukem Forever from 2001 is published, there will be an unpleasant legal battle. But if the fans, and especially modellers like Duke himself, hold the copyright in high regard… you know, or if it all escapes Gearbox’s attention, we might still see interesting things. Duke Nukem has always been a rebel, and Duke Nukem Forever has always been a tough one, so it all fits the former (and kind of self-proclaimed) shooter king.
