是小弟自己推測的啦﹐3d Realms也沒有說要什麼時候推出Duke Nukem Forever。不過依據一下新聞搞

3D Realms buys physics for Duke Nukem Forever
27th of September, 2004
Meqon is glad to announce that 3DRealms have decided to buy our Meqon Game Dynamics SDK for their upcoming title Duke Nukem Forever.
Meqon’s product strategy has always been to create the most easy to use and flexible physics engine on the market, but without compromising the computational speed. George Broussard, CEO of 3DRealms comments – “We evaluated several physics SDK's and Meqon was really fast, had the cleanest interface and integrated into our game very quickly.”
The Meqon Game Dynamics SDK does not only handle basic rigid body simulation but also contain highly advanced character and vehicle modules. Mr Broussard comments – “With its advanced feature set, we feel confident that Meqon's next generation physics engine can help us create the next generation of action games.”
3d realms在近期才跟meqon公司買他們的物理運算引擎﹐表示游戲原來的物理引擎有嚴重問題或跟不上業界現在的標準。這個舉動至少讓游戲延誤6個月。
Duke Nukem Forever開發應該會邁入第5還是第6年﹐我已經不記得了。。。
