Which will come out first, if at all? This should be a good one!

I say Duke. I've heard it's been let out to developers or something, and last time i checked Phantom was closed for an "indefinate period"

Duke's at least got a brand name going for it. I don't know of anyone who knows what the Phantom is (or was.)

Duke Nukem for sure. I remember the Phantom from an issue of Gamepro. IIRC the people behind the Phantom went bankrupt.

It better be Duke is all I'll say! The Phantom was a nice idea, but not practical at all. Besides, the PS3 is stealing it's PC/console hybrid glory

Shenmue III has a better chance of being released than both those items.

The funny thing is that it's been in production forever, and it'll probably be complete crap when it comes out!

I liked the original 2D side scrolling Apogee Duke Nukem games. I could never really get into the 3D ones but I suppose that's because FPS games usually make me feel sick. That being said, I guess I'll vote for the Phantom.

Well wallydog, i suppose you might like Duke Nukem Zero Hour on N64, its a 3rd person perspective shooter. Very awesome Multiplayer.

I voted Duke to win too, but it has been TEN YEARS since Duke Nukem 3D came out, thus 10 years waiting for the sequel. That's... um... longer than the Apollo Moon Landing Project took.

Or World War 2. Or 1. Or the Civil War. Or the average minor Egyptian monument. Or [insert amazing engineering feat ala Hoover Dam here]

Has to make you wonder...

the first time i heard duke nukem forever i didnt even think it wouldnt come out cuz i had played the original at a friends house ( i was like 9, didnt know that it had been "being created" for the last 4 years) when i heard the phantokm i didnt believe it becuz

A: that same day someone told me that microsoft was buying nintendo
B: 'yugioh' characters will be in the next zelda game, which would be released in the year 2004 (this was in 2002)
C: you would soon be able to play gamecube games on xbox, and then nintendo wouldnt even make systems anymore they would just be part of microsoft.

I choose Duke Nukem, I could never get enough of the level: Duke Burger in Duke 3D: Atomik Edition.

If you prefer the old 2D or Birdview, Press TAB 2 times, While in game.
There ya go.

Also, Shadow Warrior was good game! WHO WANTS SOME WANG!?!
