Duke Nukem Forever 'Confirmed' For Late 2008
An anonymous reader writes "A Dallas newspaper is claiming that the long-in-development title Duke Nukem Forever is headed for retail release in late 2008. Unfortunately, game creator 3D Realms says that's not exactly what they meant. 'What the modest Texas newspaper actually seems to suggest is that 3D Realms is "on target" to release the mythical sequel sometime this year, though company president Scott Miller adds, "we may miss the mark by a month or two" (wink, wink). Miller also hinted that "hitting the big three" (in this case, PC, Xbox 360 and PS3) is the obvious development strategy, but he continued to stress that 3D Realms has not "formally announced any platforms for DNF."'"
Miller added a note of caution on the 12-years-coming sequel and its release window, claiming, "we may miss the mark by a month or two, but I feel very confident that we're on target this time."
Ahh - I feel so much better now. I believe!!! Arm. No.
Is it just me or has everyone else noticed that the initials of Duke Nukem Forever is DNF? Race speak for DID NOT FINISH? I wonder if that's coincidence. How's it possible this company can continue to bullshit us? Are we that stupid? This is just a sad, sad, joke. The trailer shows no real game play and had they ANY game with which to demo, they surely would have shown some of that NOW when the game itself has become a joke. This isn't massive anticipation for the game, it's gone way past that to sheer apathy for anything related to it. The bone they threw us was no bone at all.
3DRealms can just STFU about this 'game'. If the gaming community would just ignore them, don't you think they would go away?
Pax Vobiscum
In SCCA Autocross, DNF stands for "did not finish". I find that humorous.
Can all fish swim?
That's Linux, Mac OS X and Wii, right?
