Duke Nukem Forever 2001 build leaked, ?looks real,? says creator

Filed under:Nearly 25 years later, the King still isn’t finished, babyDuke Nukem Forever still won’t die.A leaker claiming to have a build of Duke Nukem Forever similar to one shown at E3 2001 posted screenshots and a video of the game early Monday, and the creator of the one-time cornerstone of first-person shooter gaming, producer George Broussard, says it looks authentic.The leaker — “x0r,” who posted their findings to 4chan (as first spied by fansite Duke4.net) — says they’ll release that build in June. But it would continue to drag on, and 3D Realms and publisher Take-Two Interactive came into increasing conflict over a game that Broussard and co-creator Scott Miller were financing themselves, which meant their publisher had no deadline to enforce or launch window to market.Take-Two sued 3D Realms in 2009 over the studio’s failure to complete Duke Nukem Forever.
