I have some bad news for everyone who has been interested in this game. There is a possibility that it has been delayed to the end of 2004 - beginning of 2005. Here's the article:
quote GameSpotNo Duke Nukem Forever 'til 2005?
[UPDATED] The next chapter in 3D Realms' sassy shooter franchise won't be ready until Q4 2004 at the earliest.
When 3D Realms decided on the title "Duke Nukem Forever," most gamers probably didn't realize they were actually describing its development time. First announced in 1997, the seven-year-old shooter franchise's next installment may now not be released until 2005.
The bad news came straight from Jeffrey Lapin, CEO of Take Two Interactive, parent of Gathering Games, Duke Nukem Forever's publisher. When pressed on the subject by an analyst in a conference call today, Lapin said, "I had a recent conversation with [Duke Nukem Forever's] developer, and they expect the game to be completed sometime at the end of '04 or the beginning of '05."
The news adds another difficult chapter to Duke Nukem Forever's development. When it was first picked up by Gathering (then called GodGames) in 2000, the game had a late 2001 release date. But in August 2001, following financial woes and the death of one of its co-founders, Doug Myers, GodGames' Texas offices were shut down and the company was subsumed into Take Two's New York City operation. Then came the game's infamous no-show at the 2002 E3 and Lapin's announcement this May that Take Two had "pulled the plug" on the game's 2003 release. "We're hopeful that the team in Dallas will finish the project," said Lapin then.
The big question is: when will they? Though Take Two spent a reported $12 million for the rights to publish Duke Nukem Forever, the game's development is being completely self-funded by 3D Realms, which still owns the franchise. The developer has never officially announced a release date, keeping with 3D head George Broussard's famous mantra that the release date is "when it's done."
Broussard has also been outspoken about his displeasure with Take Two's public announcements about the game. Most famously, he responded to Lapin's May statement with a post on Shacknews.com saying, "Take Two needs to STFU IMO."

As long as it comes out before I die... I'll be happy. It'll be the greatest moment in gaming history to finally play the fabled Duke Nukem Forever.
I've been waiting for this since day one.

They'll probably just wait until 2011 before they release it.

They won't release it.
Their company will abandon them (I think that's already happened) for taking to long, employees will leave knowing full well that the game will never be finished, and it'll end up being uncompleted.
But if they do get around to completing it, it'll pull a Fuzion Frenzy move and end up being given away with Woman's Day magazines.

When it takes a game this long to be created, it's pretty much on the backburner indefinitely, even if that is not said so publicly. The day it comes out, the Assassin's Creed trilogy will be long ended and people will be arguing about the PS6 and the Xbox 1440.

i remember hearing about this back in 2000. even remember the scare that people thought it was a hoax to boost 3DRealms failing company stock. If its taken nearly 8 years with no solid release date, an unprofesional comment of "when its done", no visual progress, yeah this game is not comming out. Sad too, that the makers of the almighty Duke are the ones that give him the biggest slap in the face and stuff him in his grave.

I laughed at Scott Miler's statement: 'A sequel of Duke Nukem Forever is planned'
