THE WORLD IS ENDING 14 JUNE 2011. (*DNF DNF DNF*)

So, I just saw a commercial on TV, and Duke Nukem Forever is being released.

I'm somewhat scared. I don't know what's happening. I wasn't prepared for this. There hasn't been sufficient time.

Duke Nukem Forever was supposed to be the game that could never be made. A legend among gamers, of apocalyptic proportions.

I honestly don't know what's happening. My entire world view has just been shattered to pieces. $:-\$

The game has taken so long that they'd probably have been better off 'cancelling' it and releasing it under a new name. Theres no way it will be able to live up to 15 years of hype (Take note team FoY!)

GameStop just called me an hour ago, I will pick it up tomorrow, first thing in the morning.
I even took a day off from work for the chewing-gum-fuelled-ass-kicking which shall ensue!

Hail to the king, baby!

Don't worry it's just a fake someone created to make a few bucks on the legend - a modded Call of Duty with a bunch of new textures. Something like those fat Elvis Presleys running around.

Oh. I thought this thread is about the new Twilight movie.

You will buy it, insert the DVD into your drive and a popup will say:

"The Game."

Note taken!

Note promptly thrown in bin, too.

An era has reached its end gentlemen. Never again can we use DNF as the precursor to the release of our own forever unfinished games. Of course we could always use FoY or Vince's Resonance as a reference point as there's little to no chance of us seeing those in our lifetimes

..but, it was an excellent run gentlemen, and it's been an honour serving alongside you.

We can still use Run Hot.

THAT'D BE AMAZING.

I wonder if this will just be another time that THE END OF THE WORLD ends up with a DNF.

Since I pre-ordered I got to play the demo and it's pretty good. Runs ultra fast at full detail, though the demo isn't anything really to freak out about, just a short vehicle/on foot level and a boss battle... Felt a bit random to tell the truth, though I think the actual full game will be quite fun based on the little touches here and there you can see in the demo.

Progz, why are you a maggot?

ShiverMeSideways · Sat 11/06/2011 15:34:52

I haven't played it, nor will I play it (my PC isn't good enough), but I will just post this link here and you guys can watch it or not. Just sayin':

From what the dude is saying and what I'm seeing, I agree fully. What do you think?

Because he won a Maggie award.

The game being released is different than the game they've been working on for over 15 years. Not only has it been restarted multiple times, but a different company took over its development about a year ago. I assume the game we'll get now has practically been in production for only two or three years or something like that.

Nope. According to Scott Miller it's exactly the game 3D Realms was working on all those years:

(just be warned that's a long, multi-part video interview that covers many topics)

Gearbox (the studio that took over after 3D Realms) basically only ported Duke Forever to other systems than PC.
