One of the main complaints about the 2011 version was that it allowed Duke to carry only two weapons at a time. The 2001 version's enemies are mostly alien symbiotes that infect the bodies of Earth Defense Force soldiers who attack Duke with poison tentacles that fly out of their nearest available orifices. The 2011 version includes some of the game's familiar enemies such as alien assault troopers, Octabrains and Pigcops. The majority of the game takes place in Las Vegas, where Duke is enjoying his status as a womanizing, living legend in his Lady Killer Casino when the aliens decide to make a repeat appearance. Its sequel was described as vaporware, a much more damming critique among gamers, who don't mind a little smut.) Duke Nukem Forever is set a few years after Duke's eradication of aliens on Earth, in which he ripped the head off one boss and shat down its neck and gave the aliens' queen a pipe bomb hysterectomy to "abort your whole friggin' species." ( Duke Nukem 3D was described by some critics as raunchy and misogynistic but nevertheless went on to become a commercial success. The similarities between the 2001 version from 3D Realms and the 2011 version released by Gearbox and Triptych are easy to see, even though the former is an incomplete game.

North Texas-based Gearbox Studios picked up the rights to the Duke Nukem franchise, releasing a full game in 2011.

Then 3D Realms developer David Riegel founded Triptych Games and hired a skeleton crew to update and complete the game. The long and delayed release of the game drained 3D Realms' finances and tanked the studio in 2009.
The post included a link to a demo video of the game featuring the infamous alien ass kicker fighting his way through a level that takes place in a Las Vegas strip club called (wait for it) The Slick Willy (now laugh). An unfinished, playable build of a 2001 version of Duke Nukem Forever was released on the online forum 4Chan last Sunday. Someone has gone to the trouble to correct that mistake.

The few pieces of evidence about Duke Nukem Forever's original build were some screenshots, a hazy preview in a YouTube gaming series and trailers that promised release dates or a promise of release "when it's done." Unfortunately for fans, and even more so for 3D Realms, "forever" pretty much describes how long the sequel took to build before it was finally commercially released by a different studio in 2011, 15 years after Duke Nukem 3D, which is equivalent to about 30 centuries in gamer time. The long and troubled development history of Duke Nukem Forever, the sequel to the bloody, edgy first-person shooter hit Duke Nukem 3D by Garland based 3D Realms, is one of the gaming industry's most infamous stories.ģD Realms' sequel to the 2D side-scrolling platformers Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem II, released by Apogee in 1996, was successful and had fans eagerly anticipating the next entry in the series, Duke Nukem Forever.
