GameRecoil -> -> Duke Nukem Forever, Vaporware or Not?

• 

  
  

  Wired, that lovable magazine, has named Duke Nukem Forever as the top piece of vaporware in 2008. For anyone who doesn't understand what vaporware even is, here is an explanation: "Vaporware is a term used to describe a software or hardware product that is announced by a developer well in advance of release, but which then fails to emerge after having well exceeded the period of development time that was initially claimed or would normally be expected for the development cycle of a similar product."

  I can see where they are coming from though... this remake has been in the works since when, 1997? I'm well convinced that older fans of the Duke are well and dead by now. But maybe the optimism for Duke Nukem Forever isn't completely unwarranted! There are even more teaser images and there is a fully working demo floating out there somewhere. The founders of Duke Nukem need to quit WoW-ing and get to work. You hear me, George Broussard and Scott Miller of 3-D Realms?
