[exfileme]

This was the date Duke Nukem Forever was slated to go gold. Bummer.

A good April Fool's would have been to say that StarCraft: Ghost has gone gold.

Nobody cares about DNF anymore. It was right up there with "can it play Crysis?", but has been beaten black and blue several times over.

By now Duke Nukem Forever has become an urban legend, something you might say when you know it will never come out or be published. sad really as it looks to have been a great waste or resources, talent and money, too bad.

 

[rage machine]

I wouldn't trust a company who failed to put out a single title over the course of a decade to make a decent game anyway.

And go ahead and down me for saying it. I think everyone was fooled by nostalgia if they believed it was going to be a great game.

Probably easier at this point to take the Crysis 2 engine and start again than keep going with whatever they started with back in 2002.

nah its a government conspiracy: Duke Nukem Forever is the actual holy grail

It was originally supposed to use the Quake 2 engine. It was rumored to be almost finished. Then they switched to the Unreal engine in mid stream. This has become the biggest joke in gaming history. We are more likely to see Sonic-The Hedge Hog in a first person shooter before Duke Nukem "Took Forever".

When It's Done........Guess What? Sick a fork in it.....It's Done.

When they are ready to go gold, it pull back it when the guy who was delaying the game decided to use Crysis 2 engine because it got more 'WOW' than their current engine...

This article just screams "screw you"

Unfortunately DNF will probably end up like Alan Wake. When (read: if) it's actually released someday... it will only be available for consoles. 🙁

Duke Nukem is dead. Really. His skeleton can be found in the swamps level of Serious Sam 2, with a rocket stuck up to his a$$..

 

[edzz111]

i think we all saw it coming...i heard abt this game wen i was still playing Mario and Kirby on the Game boy Color in the fifth grade and its still not done...no worries though it might still come out before this decade is out

While this link is old, I read there were some positions for hire to work on what people suspected was DNF. http://kotaku.com/5314491/gearbox-named-as-developer-for-scrapped-duke-begins

For any haters; I'm not losing sleep over DNF. I know it might never come out, but I'd still love to play it. DN3D was 'the' defining PC game for me when I was growing up.

When I was young, I played the best games I've ever experienced on my Spectrum. So many of the games were amazing and even now I wish modern games could be as good. Then I bought a CD with an emulator and 1000 Spectrum games on it. All the ones I remember as excellent are now REALLY rubbish and pathetic.
My point - some things are best left as remembered with Nostalgia only and should never be revisited. Maybe it's right that it's time Duke joined those who need to stay out of reach on the other side of the rose tinted glasses?

Duke Nukem Forever will be the imaginary benchmark all FPS games will need to aspire to ...

 

[gtvr]

So, will it be out this week then? I mean, they're almost done, right?

 

[sliem]

Yes they are almost done. It'll be here "soon."
