Is Duke Nukem Forever A big Hoax?

[HeXploiT]

Is Duke Nukem Forever the biggest hoax ever on pc gamers or is it really going to happen?

 

[sandorski]

It's gonna happen and it's gonna Rock!

 

[gorcorps]

It's not a hoax, but it's not releasing. There's no option for that... so this poll loses

"IT'S TIME TO KICK ASS AND CHEW BUBBLE GUM...AND I'M ALL OUT OF GUM"

My favorite expression of all time...that and maybe "I'M GONNA RIP OFF YOUR HEAD AND S*** DOWN YOUR NECK" My brother actually said that when he was pugle fighting in boot camp I love that game.

Just checking that you know the above quote was taken from the (awesome) movie They Live.

I doubt it's a hoax considering they've been planning it for many, many years. If it does turn out to be a hoax, they've wasted a lot of time just trying to mess around with people.

Easily one of the best movies of the 80's. Is there a better recipe for "awesome" than John Carpenter and Rowdy Roddy Piper? Although I'd have to admit I love Big Trouble in Little China even a bit more.

There's a difference between a hoax and vaporware. I think at one point or another it was real (and thus isn't a "hoax"), but that doesn't mean it will ever see the light of day.

Likewise, his other favorite quote is from Stand By Me.

I know the game has been through several development cycles and had a ridiculous delay in it--but do you really think it's a hoax?

 

[SoundTheSurrender]

It's known as a runaway project. It took too long long to make and it isn't even complete, and I'm sure it was over budgeted.

Was that the movie where the guy put on some sunshades that he found in some wall and normal people looked like aliens and he just started killing them?

The 'underground' was distributing the glasses, IIRC. It had some great one-liners.

On topic, I voted hoax, b/c that's the closest option to vaporware.

LOL.

I interviewed the president of Take Two about 6 years ago and asked him about Duke Nukem and he told me that the game was coming out in time for Christmas of that year. He said he played it and it was amazing.

I can't believe he lied like that to me in my face.

I'm not so sure it's a lie. I'd be willing to bet that they've created the game atleast twice yet the technology is always outdated so quickly they keep scrapping the game. I believe they want the game to be what Crysis is and they won't release the game with this title until they feel it is worthy. I think some of the screenshots we've seen over the years were real but those games were scrapped.

 

[MDE]

Come on guys, you know they're putting the final spit-shine onto it for a surprise holiday release.

They're probably going to have it in development forever. Hell, they may still delay it then.

 

[martensite]

I hope my grandchildren will be able to play this game sometime.

I'm pretty sure his other quote is from Full Metal Jacket. Actually I guarantee it's in there, but I can't guarantee that's where it originated.

Yes. The 'rip off your head and shit down your neck' line is from FMJ... I just watched it today.

They Live! was the Matrix before there was The Matrix.

 

[shortylickens]

Its not a hoax unless you were foolish enough to pay for a preorder.

Otherwise its just the worlds greatest example of vaporware. I would be genuinely happy if they just published something fun and cheap using an older engine and then used the profits from that to make a kick-ass, modern Duke Nukem game.

Somehow 3D Realms managed to get Max Payne 1 & 2 and Manhatten Project out the door since they started on Duke Nukem Forever.
(Though I did once hear a rumor that MP1 actually took 7 years to get off the ground. Supposedly it had to be completely redone when they introduced these weird things called "3D accelerators".)

 

[pcmax]

How about a "I don't care anymore!"option

Remembers my first video card "upgrade" Rendition Verite to run DN

 

[Don66]

Yesssss, I'm so waiting for this game and the long awaited KICK ASS! video card from the Bit-Boys.:laugh:

 

[SickBeast]

They must have finalized the story for the game, along with whatever they had planned for features and multiplayer.

I just don't understand why they never released it. I remember them saying they would use the Quake 2 engine at some point, and then that changed to the Unreal engine IIRC. They probably ran out of money, and at this point I wouldn't count on a publisher working with them or trusting them.

 

[Fadardo]

How about a vote for "maybe it will but I don't really care, Duke Nukem Forever will never be as innovative as Duke Nukem was back in 1995-96, because so many games have gone way past in in terms of shock value, comedy, nudity and ass kickery."

I don't know where that line came from, but I was on the receiving end of that line by a Drill Instructor in Advanced Infantry Training in 1982, and that predates FMJ by 5 years...
