Duke Nukem Forever FAQ Updated

Posted by simoniker on from the new-version-of-something-released dept.

Thanks to several readers for pointing to a significant update to the Duke Nukem Forever FAQ over at PlanetDuke, which isn't 'official', but is linked from the 3D Realms site. The FAQ collates handy information such as the current engine choice ("DNF will be using an extremely enhanced version of Epic Games' Unreal engine"), release date ("DNF will be released 'When It's Done.' What this means is that 3D Realms will not release the game until they are sure it is the best first person shooter ever"), and the labyrinthine publisher list for the game ("Take 2 Interactive Software is publishing DNF. Prior to this.. [it was] Gathering of Developers... Prior to that, their publisher was Infogrames (now known as Atari), who bought out GT Interactive.. [who] had bought the rights from FormGen.")

    If Chaos Theory has taught us anything, it's that we must kill all the butterflies.

    They have decided to let us know they are still working on it. Seriously I think all the 3dr guys must think the world is full of idiots. They should have cancelled this project years ago! Without being trollish, the guys at 3dR have made the public wait long enough that there is zero possibility that this game will sell any units or make any money at all. Because they kept falling behind the real pros with tech, 3dR has lagged and lagged this project to the bitter end. There is no possibility that this will be anything other than vapourware, and in the strict possibility that they release the product, they will definitely release an inferior product. There is nothing new to the shooters out there, really anyway. Sorry if I sound emotional over this project, but I strongly dislike companies that promise the world and fail to deliver. If you can't execute, you're lost in business. Give up. 3dR has proven time and time again that they can't deliver on promises, so their word is crap. Don't get me wrong, they have made some quality products, such as Max Payne, who was the basis for the guy in GTA3. But don't be fooled. 3dR cashes in on false promises, which is a real industry no-no, IMHO.
