Today, we’re tracing the radioactive legacy of Duke Nukem Forever, the infamously delayed sequel that became the poster child for development hell. We begin by revisiting the success of Duke Nukem 3D and how 3D Realms’ ambition to create a bigger, bolder follow-up spiraled into a 15-year odyssey of missed deadlines, engine swaps, and studio turmoil. Along the way, we explore how shifting technology and industry standards turned anticipation into parody, culminating in Gearbox Software’s eventual rescue and the game’s long-awaited—but divisive—2011 release. So grab your shades and ego boost for today’s long-delayed trip down Memory Card Lane!Hail to the Wait - The Long Road to Duke Nukem Forever
