Duke Never

Duke Nukem Forever developer 3D Realms has never announced even a tentative release date for their first-person shooter - but that didn't stop reports that the game wouldn't ship in 2003 from surfacing on Thursday. Shacknews (http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/26715) was the first to report a statement by Take Two in response to a question from an analyst during a financial results conference call that the title won't be ready for the 2003 holiday shopping season. In the words of the Take Two representative: "We're just hopeful the team in Dallas will finish it." This doesn't mean Duke Nukem Forever has been cancelled or even delayed. It merely indicates Take Two doesn't know when 3D Realms will deliver it.

-----------------
Take Two: um we don't know when Duke Never is going to be done if ever.

Thats a sign of confidence right there.

Couldn't find Duke Nukem Forever on ebgames. It used to be listed there before E3.
Went over to Gamelord http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=640700
Maybe it should be changed to April 1st. http://sbp777.homestead.com/files/jestera.gif

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Well, at least they're being honest! :)

[monkeydust]

LOL, I like George's response...

All we want to do is keep quite, work on the game, and emerge later and show you what we're working on. We don't want hype. We don't want drama. We don't want Take Two saying stupid ass things in public, for the sole purposes of helping their stock.

If they would quit watching porn and start making the game it *MIGHT* get done. :condom:

[Ramshambo2001]

Could have gone thru college and takin classes for programming and be done with the game by now!

[Heavyd]

Someone LONG AGO told me that the problem is that they keep switching game engines the first engine was Unreal but they scraped that and went to something else wasting lotz of money. Now they're probably going for Unreal 2 .......... wacked

[Raptorman]

That's one thing, and another excuse was they had a problem in the engine to where you couldn't interact with certain objects (something stupid like that), and they had to scrap it all and start again.

[jAkUp]

actually... the first engine was quake3 engine... then they scrapped it for the unreal engine... god... now they're gonna scrap that for the doom3 engine..lol

[Pafet]

Also spotted was George saying that 3DRealms has "100% rewritten the rendering engine. From scratch. All of it."

:eek:

from "firing squad", the link is on nvnews :rolleyes:

[|JuiceZ|]

what a joke, with the ongoing delays & excuses, I could seriously care less if DNF ever came out :rolleyes:

3Drealms = :ass:

[zoolap]

With Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 (at some point) and their respective engines I don't think I give a flying monkey about DUke Nukem Forever. :zzzz:

[GlowStick]

Actually, if i rember my lore right.

They first used the Quake 2 engine, then said 'lets use the Unreal Engine, its so much cooler"

Now i am sure we are gonna hear

"We have scrapped DNF, we have decided to use the Half-Life 2 engine. But we are going to completely recode the engine. We are hopeing that no new engine thats better than Half Life 2 ever comes out, or we will have to start again!"


EDIT-------------

OH BTW

those screens LOOK LIKE crap, Quake 3 at the best. Not evne close to HL2 or Doom3 models.

[digitalwanderer]

Man, it'd suck to be on the DNF development team...imagine not only being the industries butt of jokes for years, but knowing deep down in your heart that even IF the game comes out it's going to look like penguin-puke compared to all the other games on the market. :(

I still hope they release a special edition of it that includes ALL the beta builds, that I'd be willing to pay for just for the entertainment value it'd provide me. ;)

[GlowStick]

I like your idea of all of the builds thats great!

Yes, the game is going to suck bigtime, espically the graphics.

But it would completely rock to be the DNF dev team.

You dont have to do anything, but get paied.

Yeah, I like the idea of watching it/playing it thru it's various incarnations...but I'm weird like that. ;)

[ToxicFool]

maybe they should have written thier own engine.. then they would never have to switch to other game engines.

Quake 3 at the best. Not evne close to HL2 or Doom3 models.

nah really? I wouldn't have known.. other then q3 came out 4 years ago.
