Following a news article in the Dallas Business Journal stating Duke Nukem Forever's release date as confirmed, 3D Realms has slammed the report and declared the claims that DNF is scheduled for a 2008 release to be false.

George Broussard, 3D Realms President, has issued this statement in response:

"The release date is still 'when it's done', and will be until the appropriate moment. Platforms have not been finalized or announced. You can rest assured that we are moving toward a goal and that the recently released teaser trailer is the start of that process and seeing more of the game, sooner than later."

So you've been waiting ten years for Duke Nukem Forever (question: why?) and what have you got to show for it? This video, that's what.

The video features no actual gameplay, and basically confirms the following facts: Duke Nukem will be in it, so will aliens.

Personally, I don't see the point of being excited for a game from a company whose last product was made over a decade ago and after 10 years of working on one game has nothing to show for it but a rendered video that could be done by a college 3D graphics class in an afternoon. But hey, that's just me.

If you wish, check out the video after the jump.

For those of us in North America who have been trying (and failing) to locate a Wii at the base price (No, I do not want all those fluffy, stupid games in those overpriced 'value' bundles), we can take solace in the fact that we're not the only ones having difficulty in our Wii quest.

The subject has been receiving some attention in the UK as well, with Max Console.net accusing Big-N of of issuing press releases regarding the Wii's high demand and stock shortages to encourage sales.

Max Console.net reported on two articles discussing the issue from two separate UK newspapers. You can view an image of these articles here; their content should sound familiar.

For its part, Nintendo has responded to the story with the following statement:

In another Time Crisis 4 update for today the game's director, Takashi Satsukawa, has posted over at the official PlayStation Blog regarding the title's development, specifically the creation of the new guncon and the logic behind the move. Time Crisis 4 and the new guncon will enable players to maneuver independently of the camera as well as shoot, varying the arcade style a bit.

For those of you who appreciate a little T&A with your H&K, word has leaked out that Take-Two Interactive seems to be pressing for a 2006 release of the long-awaited Duke Nukem Forever. From a filing placed with the Securities and Echange Commission last week, the astute reader will note:

In March 2005, the Company renegotiated a $6,000 contingent obligation due upon delivery of the final PC version of Duke Nukem Forever through the payment of $4,250 and issuance of a promissory note in the principal amount of $500. The payment of the promissory note is contingent upon the commercial release of such product prior to December 31, 2006.

It's anyone's guess as to whether this kind of incentive will succeed in finally pushing this near-vaporware title out in 2006; how encouraged will 3D Realms really be about a 'bonus' after losing thirty percent of the original contract value? Numbers on a securities filing usually don't lie, though; Duke fans can take heart in knowing that the latest (and possibly last) offering may finally be on the radar.
