    Well everyone thinks right now that DNF is dead, and nothing new about it, but wait till' you'll hear this:

    "In today's 1UP.com Prey Interview, George Broussard was kind enough to spill some beans on the whereabouts of DNF's development.

    GB: You know, we've been so busy on Duke Forever for so long that we can't really see past just finishing this game, but you never can tell when it's done, you know, what you want to work on next.

    1UP: Wait, wait. You guys are working on Duke Forever?

    GB: [Laughs] And ever and ever.

    1UP: And when's that due out again?

    GB: [Laughs] I think it'll be out when pigs fly. But it's definitely going well now. Things are together; we're in full production. We're basically just pulling all the pieces together and making the game out of it. There's a lot that's finished. All the guns are finished. Most of the creatures are finished. And as I said, we're just basically pulling it all together and trying to make it fun. We've kind of got all these disassociated elements that make up a game, and you put them together and things happen. And then you just tweak it and polish it until it's fun, and that's kind of the phase we're in now, just trying to make something that is really fun to play and interesting.

    Thanks George!"

    Could this mean that Duke Nukem Forever might actually be finished?!

    If Prey can come back from nowhere so can Duke Nukem. I'm not expecting much from a new Duke as the originals were just so-so but Prey looks very interesting.

    The thing they must absolutely do well is the one-liners.
    If those aren't any good I won't buy the game even if the gameplay is better than Half Life 2.
