Hardcore Duke Nukem ForNever fans.. *official* words from 3DRealms:

[arch113]

Bumping a 7 year old thread to say nothing is exactly what the Mods look for in a ban.

I thought it was resurrect old posts day. Besides, look at my join date and post count, would be much of a lost I guess...

 

[oogabooga]

haha I read the OP and was like "What trailer?"

Necro!

 

[SpatiallyAware]

No kidding... Turbo necro.

I thought this thread was recent until I came across this post:

"As a serious Duke3d fan I have to be totally blunt - i have no interest in reading more bullsh*t from 3drealms. They started talking about minimum card stats. That's where I stopped reading. Why? Well quite honestly because in 10 years a geforce3 will suck. Right now it doesn't. So one would think this lends a hint as to the release date but I don't believe it does."

Me too... WTF... Then looked at the date, hah

That was the post that did it for me too.

It's only 7 years later. And the GeForce 3 has long sucked. I wonder if our old selves ever realised just how powerful computers were set to become in 2005-2006

I thought this was recent as well until I remembered that 3drealms gave up the project last year. They don't have a development staff.

Duke 3D was such a great game... i wasted many hours playing it online... i was even in a clan :awe:

JROOM38G... such a fun map for massive carnage.

I got a lol ... I can now go back to my usual lurking, maybe try this again in 5 years j/k

No, it's the rule of 7s. You wait 7 years to necro threads. Come on dude! You can't just necro every dead thread after only 5 years. That's no fun.

 

[preslove]

Too bad nothing came out of this...

Is your mother a prostitute?

 

[Genx87]

Highly unlikely 3DRealms has boatloads of cash. They wont be running out anytime soon.



They, switched engines three seperate times, and started over from scratch twice.



3DRealms is funding this on their own. They are like id, they only have a publisher of their choosing, publish and distribute, there are no publisher set milestones, there are no publisher cash advances, etc. Their publisher can get pissed all it wants(they already have), but the fact of the matter is 3DRealms is paying for the development, so it doesnt matter. This isn't like Ion Storm - Dallas where the publisher was footing everything.

Yes it was stupid for them to show up at three years of E3, straight hyping the product, etc. However I would not be suprised if DNF ships by the end of 2004.

Ouch

The thread itself is older than 7 years, the 5 years is the time between me signing up and creating/necro'ing a thread...

not that i am aware of....

We should bump old threads once in awhile. It helps us remember the past and how it was like, see if some of our predictions came true.

What's more fun than seeing "So I just paid $300 for a voodoo 3 to play quake 2" 10 years later?

Damn. I remember paying $300 for a Canopus Voodoo 1 that had 6MB RAM (the others had only 4MB.) I was soooo happy.

I remember using an overclocking utility that increased the clockspeed to 59MHz from 50MHz, and running Redline Racer and thinking to myself...WOW. lol
