They've said they've been working on it all this time, only time you'll really know is if/ when it comes out

 

[Schadenfroh]

It will not come out, it is vaporware, it has always been vaporware.

 

[Queasy]

I wonder who still has DNF on preorder....

:Q

We have managed to propose, get budget approval, design, build and launch two probes to the planet Mars in the same time this game has been developed.

 

[Smilin]

Id "when it's finished" software has also developed Quake II, III, IV in the same amount of time.

 

[NeoV]

it's not vaporware at all, they have just made some really bad decisions in the project, they have changed engines a number of times - 3 I believe, and I'm pretty sure they are actually using their own engine now?

I do think we'll see this game at the end of the year, and as long as they keep the same 'attitude' the first one had, I'm guessing it will do well.

 

[cirrhosis]

They were using a very heavily modified Unreal 2 engine last I heard.

Wait, it's not fun?... Surely you _start_ with fun and make monster models later...

That sounds like most kiddie mods, to me.

<forum post>
Okay, we have 4 level designers, 53 modellers, 6 skinners, 7 web masters, and 14 producers. We're all done and the game is almost ready- we just need a coder to pull this stuff together

How does a company even stay in business taking that long to make a game?

That's what I'm wondering. You can only blow so much money on booze and hookers before your profits from your 10 year old games finally start to dry up...

I've decided to boycott this game, even if it does finally get released. Too much nonsense to me :thumbsdown:

 

[potato28]

Maybe itll be released with Half-Life 3?

They have released other games during that time and were paid >$30million for the Max Payne license. Money hasn't been a problem for them.

Duke Nukem ForNever

 

[carlosd]

:XD You are right duke nukem forNever... I have been reading it has been produced since 1999 or so and still not be released.

 

[computeerrgghh]

Duke Nukem Forever should be a curse phrase that gets starred whenever someone tries to say something about it.

 

[Hugo Drax]

Is the game worth the wait. I heard it was released finally.

 

[taq8ojh]

Holy necro batman.

 

[bbhaag]

no kidding...nice necro Hugo. To answer your question. No, it was not worth the wait.
