So that means what now? 2008?

 

[Shard]

To whomever pre-orders, I have some very nice swampland to sell you as well.

 

[bogg]

Haha.

"Page last updated May, 2001" :lol

 

[Xrenity]

"Duke Nukem Forever will be a PS4 launch title"

 

[Stinkles]

"Page last updated May, 2001" :lol

Haha, can you imagine that your exaggerated gag, five years ago would still be optimistic in 2005?

 

[the year 20XX]

3D Realms is acting under the assumption that time is cyclical.

So maybe next 2005.

 

[crunker99]

No, you cannot pre-order the game. If you see some online store saying "We are taking pre-orders", they're just trying to get your money (they usually also make up their own supposed "insider release date info", too). There is no release date set, we are not taking pre-orders for the game. End of story.

Once we begin taking pre-orders, believe us, you'll know about it.

So sad, i was 11 when i first played Duke 3d.

8 years later......

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Seriously, does anyone really care about this game any more?

 

[DarienA]

Seriously, does anyone really care about this game any more?

Probably not but it makes for great joke threads to trot out every year.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

Screw DNF. I want Team Fortress 2...

It's never going to happen

 

[Dr_Cogent]

I second that. I love a good DNF (Did Not Finish) thread.

 

[Xrenity]

Haha, can you imagine that your exaggerated gag, five years ago would still be optimistic in 2005?

The funny thing is 2005 looked like an awful lot away when that estimation was made.

 

[Juice]

is 3D Realms a publicly traded company? If they are, they really ought to be investigated for fraud by this point.

 

[SyNapSe]

Screw DNF. I want Team Fortress 2...

QFT - I'd even settle for a simple TFC: Source port :\

 

[Rorschach]

:'(

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

I love a good DNF thread too. It's just funny when ever one of the news sites reports an update on this game, as I can't see it doing all that well at retail any more unless it just kicks-total ass. Games this long in development usually turn out to be a mess, but we'll see I suppose. Until it's released, bash away though!

 

[Crow]

Yeah the game can't stand on name alone now, as it could have done if they released only a few years after duke3d. It has to win everyone over by merit. So after 8+ years, they had better have something that blows you away or they will be an even bigger joke than they already are.

 

[Ferrarisimo]

I lover a good DNF threat too.

Er...what?

 

[Ruzbeh]

So sad, i was 11 when i first played Duke 3d.

:lol :lol :lol

Duke Nukem Forever for Revolution. Using the Revolution remote! Make it happen!

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Er...what?

:lol Damn keyboard!

 

[Dr_Cogent]

:lol Damn keyboard!

Hey, wait. I don't think he was really far off with the use of "threat". George B has been threatening us with this so called game for a very long time now. He just doesn't live up to his threats is all.

 

[tedtropy]

Duke Nukem Forever is taking forever is come out...LOL!

How considerate that they're making it compatible with Windows 98.

 

[El_Victor]

I still believe in DNF.
Who's with me?
*silence*
*silence again*
How awkward.

Windows 98 wasn't even out yet when development started, was it?

 

[tedtropy]

Windows 98 wasn't even out yet when development started, was it?

Probably not. I know Duke Nukem 3D itself was a full-on DOS game.

 

[Starfire]

This better still run on my old P155Mhz under Win95.

.......Fancy schmancy Win98 compatibility.

It'll work under DOS, but you'll need one bad-ass tweaked out boot floppy. Memmaker at the ready!

 

[Xenon]

I'll wait for the 360 version

 

[Acrylamid]

amazon.de for the win!
Where else can

Spoiler

't

you buy the Duke Nukem Forever Official Strategy Guide since June 6, 2002?

 

[Eel O'Brian]

Duke Nukem Forever is the videogame version of a Snipe Hunt.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Seriously, does anyone really care about this game any more?

I do actually.

I still believe in DNF.
Who's with me?

I'm with you

Someday people.......someday

 

[Dr. Kitty Muffins]

is 3D Realms a publicly traded company? If they are, they really ought to be investigated for fraud by this point.

Is this possible?

 

[Acosta]

The funniest thing is that the game will be released.

3D Realms is going to have a hell of pressure. It will be better for them if the game is awesome. Because if not, all the jokes about the game are going to be much worse.

 

[bbyybb]

This game has to be better than hl2 i think for it to be accepted.

I mean after so long, you would think something would eventuate.


The one bad thing i see is the use of the Doom 3 engine, but then again there is Quake Wars, which looks good with the engine.

 

[cs060mk2]

The screenshots still look relatively good on Amazon. When they first showed up I was totally blown away by them.

 

[Oxymoron]

Is this possible?

No, because 3DRealms isn't a public company.

 

[Heezzi]

Duke Nukem Fornever

 

[Sho Nuff]

I really do wonder about the people who work at 3D Realms. Seriously. Do they just kind of come in for a few hours a day? Do they know that their game is never going to ship because of inept management?

I imagine that the average employee comes in and draws some nice high poly boobies. Maybe puts dynamics on them or something so they bounce around in-engine, whatever engine they're using, anyway. Then Broussard comes around and sees your work and goes "MMMMMMMMMMM BOOBIES" and retreats to his office to download porn and post on the 3D Realms forums or some shit. It's like all of 3DR/Duke Forever is a giant joke that everyone is in on except Broussard?
