The recently released Duke Nukem 3D has been a big hit on Xbox Live Arcade, and one of the interesting features in the game is that as you progress and earn more achievements, you unlock concept art for the game. However, if you complete the game and receive all 200 points you get two nifty screenshots of the upcoming Duke Nukem Forever, the screens can be seen by clicking our sidebar.
What is more interesting is a source close to Microsoft has told us that all the screenshots that have been released for Duke Nukem Forever are using the same version and build of Unreal Engine 3 that Gears of War and Gears of War 2 uses, suggesting the game is exclusive to the Xbox 360. Specifically, the version of UE3 used to make the Gears titles was made especially to make development on Xbox 360 easier, or easier to port the game from PC. Still, all the screens that have been shown are not PC but Xbox 360.
To clarify, there are tools made specifically for Xbox 360, and DNF has been developed using the UE3 tools available to developers for creating games on Xbox 360.
When emailing Microsoft and 3D Realms neither have given a response, however Xbox Evolved is confident that within the next year Microsoft and 3D Realms will announce an agreement that the game is exclusive to Xbox 360, and possibly published directly by Microsoft. We will have more as it develops, until then enjoy the screens!
