Now -we"ve heard alot of speculation about this, but like most things in life, ooo sorts the men from the boys. He has found this post on the Duke Nukem Official boards by one of the coding team there. That guy writes :
* Release Date : "When it"s done". Simple as that. Also, ignore ALL release dates unless you hear them from us. This includes EB, Amazon or anywhere else. We will tell you when it"s getting really close, and we will tell you when it"s done. We promise.
* "What"s taking so long?": Lots of things. We had too few programmers early on. Some tech took too long to do. We switched engines. We started over a time or two. And a bunch of other stuff. Point is, we know it"s late, and you know it"s late. Let"s stop talking about it, ok?
* System Specs : They are going to be steep. You will need a video card with pixel shaders. A GeForce 3 will be about the minimum card, and ideally you will want something like the latest ATI or nVidia card. Sure, the game will probably run on a GeForce 1/2, but you"re not going to want to. As for CPU? The more the better. A 1Ghz is a pretty slow machine these days, and you"re probably going to want a 2 Ghz or better. DO NOT buy hardware for the game now. Wait until it"s done and see where things are then.
