Duke Nukem Forever.... beyond a joke. (1 Viewer)

There is no way in hell Quake IV will make it out before Doom III. I sat in on the round table with Jake Simpson this year at QuakeCon 2002 and he basically said don't expect Quake IV unitl atleast 6 months after Doom III releases.

Okay, Gamespot has Duke Nukem Forever ( http://gamespot.com/gamespot/filters...448848,00.html ) listed with a released date of 4/14/2003 for PC. Well, took them a long time to get this game done.
Duke Nukem Forever is also listed on Gamespot as coming to XBOX, PS2 & Gamecube. XBOX version & Gamecube version is listed as TBA (To Be Announced) while the PS2 version is listed with a release date of 2/15/2003. Cool, I own a PS2 & I will definatly purchasethe PS2 version of DNF since I have been waiting almost 5 years for this game.

I wouldn't hold my breath about those dates, especially the fact that its coming out to PS2 and Xbox as its only been announced for GameCube and PC so far.

I do remember the producer of the game saying that press information will start coming out in a steady stream when the game gets about 6 months away from release, and I haven't recieved anything or seen anything out there about this game.

Well, even though Gamespot has dates listed for the PC/PS2 version of DNF, I probably won't believe those dates since, in the video game market, a lot of games are not released on the so-called release dates.

Also, let's not forget that Gamespot and EB have a tendency to make up ("estimate") release dates out of thin air for titles they don't have any solid information on.

Holy thread resurrect. All that for a roll-eyes Paul?

I guess that DNF is dead... pity.

Last I heard they had started over with an in-house engine.

2005 release date? 2006? 2013?

I usually wait until the "deluxe" or "game of the year" edition so I don't have to download tons of patches. If I'm going to be a beta tester, I'd rather not have to pay for the privilege.
Hate to weigh in on this issue, but Daikatana was a horrible game, hype or no hype. Had the game been released early (or ahead of schedule), the graphics may have been commended, but the gameplay is bad for 1985 or 2005. It simply wasn't fun. But we all know games just aren't about the graphics. Err, right?

A man of few words.

I think Paul is the Ghost of DNF Past. Come to haunt us since the Ghost of DNF Present and DNF Future both have developed severe drinking habits.

Personally, my money is on 2010.

 

[Jason Harbaugh]

What year is Duke Nukem supposed to take place? I always assumed it was sometime in the future. Perhaps they are just waiting until it becomes present day.

The smilie says everything that needs to be said. Why crowd a post with useless words?

Fair enough!

 

[Tony-B]

Hopefully we'll find out some new information about it at E3...

It seems rather surprising that they didn't decide to make DNF with its own engine a long time ago. Working with an older engine almost automatically puts you at a disadvantage as far as "ohhh ahhh" factor. Never the less, when(if?) this beast finally rolls out the door, it will be to a hungry audience. Obviously 3D Realms wants it to look and play its best (bless them for having high standards). Heck, if just making the game was this epic struggle, then imagine how they'll hype it when its ready.

Jez, I'm starting to think this game doesn't even exist outside of rumors, LOL. When's the last time we saw screenshots anyways?

 

[James T]

The last time I saw screenshots, it was using the Quake II engine.

Or maybe like a Clancy story: always the near future.
