The Hushed Casket was founded in 2002 shortly after the launch of the XBOX console. Today the Hushed Casket is a thriving community of gamers, playing together and publishing news and stories that have appeared in major media properties like Newsweek, G4TV, USA Today, and Penny Arcade. Some game developers have even referenced our guides and news to support their gamers. We don't play Halo. We LAN Halo.

Duke Nukem Forever screenshot in the wild?

Duke Nukem Forever

Is this the latest Duke Nukem Forever screenshot? 3D Realms president, George Broussard, says that the thumbnail-sized screenshot is an "in game shot." I have to say that although it is small, the engine looks impressive. The lighting. The shading. The blur.

DNF is the most famous "vaporware" to ever exist...or not exist. 3D Realms still claims that this game has been in development for over 10 years. In fact, 3D Realms claims to be tweaking and polishing the game right now. The game was announced in April 1997.

Screenshots of DNF have surfaced in the past, however, they are hard to find. 3D Realms doesn't like the shots being published because no screenshot currently represents what the game looks like in its current engine. Reportedly, this game has changed engines several times.

Duke Nukem had me like HALO at one time. I didn't know better and I didn't play it that often, but I was in another world when I played that game.

I read another

I read another article about the behind the scenes of the development of this game. It looks like technology has surpassed the development team a few times over. So they are left rebuilding parts of the game at times. A tough situation for these guys because of a few setbacks. It seems that they have been trapped by a vicious cycle of anticipation for a game with the Duke Nukem brand. If they don't release something killer, then everyone will think they suck because they took so long. So they spend their time making it good. I'm pulling for them to release a killer game though.

A good solution now is

A good solution now is better than a perfect solution later. I guess these are the guys who never buy a TV because prices are always falling. :)

Does the developer produce other games? Otherwise, how does it pay its employees?
