There, he receives a call from the president who orders him not to harm the invaders, and adds that he is in diplomatic talks with the alien overlord. Duke’s talk show appearance is cancelled to allow television stations to cover the alien invasion, while he retires to the Duke Cave. While on his way to a talk show, Duke witnesses a news broadcast announcing that aliens have once again invaded, but this time peacefully. The game takes place about 12 years after the events of Duke Nukem 3D, and Duke is now a global icon thanks to his heroic deeds. Intended to be groundbreaking, Duke Nukem Forever became infamous in the video game industry and its name became synonymous with vaporware, due to its severely-protracted development sch-edule – the game was released this year but had been in development since 1996. Duke Nukem Forever, the sequel to the 1996 game Duke Nukem 3D, is an action first-person shooter video game for Microsoft Windows, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.
