July 12, 200520 yr Well, Prey went from vaporware and a canceled title in the 90's to win a Best of E3 award this year, and is slated for release. Can the same thing happen with Duke Nukem Forever now?
July 12, 200520 yr There have been a couple of recent articles about it; the most recent suggested that it was re-written completely since the E3 premi OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
July 12, 200520 yr It's number 3 in the top 10 Gameplay preorders and is supposed to be 164 days to release. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
July 12, 200520 yr Author I seriously think the people who preordered the game should get the game for free at this point, or at half off.
July 12, 200520 yr What a great business plan! If they aren't broke from the development cycle overrun by now, that would certainly finish them off! OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
July 12, 200520 yr I heard he got demoted. OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT
July 12, 200520 yr Wut? It's not vaporware anymore? Golly gee gosh. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
July 12, 200520 yr If Duke gets released it will suck. There is no way a game that has been anticipated for so long can live up to its hype. I smell an Unreal II, but of bigger proportions. Life is like a clam. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story. - Steven Erikson
July 12, 200520 yr Never. Mention. That. Game. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

July 12, 200520 yr Daikatana? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> very well could be :ph34r: Life is like a clam. Years of filtering crap then some bastard cracks you open and scrapes you into its damned mouth, end of story. - Steven Erikson
July 12, 200520 yr ... Does anyone still care at this point? Then again, I never cared in the first place. :ph34r: NINJA PRETZELS FOR EVERYONE (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
July 12, 200520 yr Good point Llyranor, I personally think it's been such a long time, the mainstream hype will have mostly melted away, with only perhaps older and more veteran gamers suddenly saying "Holy cripes, I remember being really excited by this game once!" and going out to see just what it's like. Incredible to think that the entirety of the Quake, Serious Sam and Half-Life franchises have come into being and flourished since Duke3d was released (possibly even after Duke4 was announced as well it seems) - 3DRealms are going to have to do something very good to impress the majority of customers in what is already a crowded market. Tis why I'm waiting for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. instead...
July 12, 200520 yr Duke who...? - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.
July 12, 200520 yr Come get some! "McDonald's taste damn good. I'd rtahe reat their wonderful food then the poisonous junk you server in your house that's for sure. What's funny is I'm not fat. In fact, I'm skinny. Though I am as healthy as cna be. Outside of being very ugly, and the common cold once in the blue moon I simply don't get sick." - Volourn, Slayer of Yrkoon!

July 12, 200520 yr Well, Prey went from vaporware and a canceled title in the 90's to win a Best of E3 award this year, and is slated for release. Can the same thing happen with Duke Nukem Forever now? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> PC Gamer had an article an issue or two ago, when they went to see Prey. They mentioned they saw the game, and it actually looks pretty good. If I find the article I'll dig up a snippet or two.
July 12, 200520 yr From PC Gamer, June 2005 Edition, page 34: After years of annoucements, unveilings, disappearances, re-announcements, and eventual limbo, Duke has finally materialized......[George] Broussard says: "The short version is that after a lot of false starts, we regrouped and threw out everything in late 2002, and moved forward with our own rendering technology on top of Unreal. We've been moving forward and are making progress and are on-track since that decision was made. Most of the weapons and creatures are done. Most of the levels exist, and there's a ton of gameplay. We're in the process of pulling it all together, and very much look forward to showing it off. It won't be vaporware much longer." We were treated to a demo of various "interactions" between Duke and the environments, and all of them ring true to the classic interactivity of Duke Nukem 3D. We can't spill the beans yet on the specifics, but needless to say, this is very much the Duke we all came to know and love in 1996.......our 20-minute walkthrough of Duke Nukem Forever convinced us that 3D Realms is going to lay a full house on the table in 2006, just in time for the 10th anniversery of Duke Nukem 3D. A little bit of me would really like this title to kick serious booty....but we'll see I suppose ^_^
July 12, 200520 yr Duke Nukem, Blood, et al > all. I just hope DNF doesn't do a "Blood 2"- even though to be fair, that game was rather okayish. "Open for business!" "Sonuvabitches must pay!" "EheheheheHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" "I... live... again!" Etc etc. Christ, those were some classic gaming moments, right there. Cheesy one-liners > u. "McDonald's taste damn good.

July 12, 200520 yr By the way, for those of you n00bz that haven't played the aforementioned "Blood", here's a lil' link to a certain abandonware site containing one of the best shooters ever made. Perfectly legal... or so I am told. http://www.abandonia.com/games/103/Blood.htm Download, install, and get ready to kick some zombie ass. "McDonald's taste damn good.
