3D Realms has said that it'll be out "when it's done" ... bullpoop. They've been saying that for the past 6 years. It's going to be released in Q1 2003. Or maybe Q2 2003. Definately the first half of 03'. Basically, shortly after Unreal 2 is released, we'll have DNF in our hands, FINALLY! Trust me. It's going to be great. http://www.click-smilie.de/sammlung/spezial/Sarge/Sign.gif

Yeah, word is that 3D REALMS are still working on it. But people have been siphoned off the project for various reasons. So progress is slow. Nobody knows why the game has been delayed so long. It's release has looked immanent several times in it's turbulent history with impressive looking screenshots trickling onto the web. Even those old Quake 2 engine shots look good. Rumour still has it that the game will finally be out earlyish in 2003 come hell or high water. Everybody is sick to death of hearing about it and nobody can give a toss about waiting for it. 3D REALMS screwed up with development, always feeling the game wasn't good enough to release.

i love the quote: "This is the game I'm going to be telling my grandkids about waiting for -- and then they're going to tell me, 'Yeah, we know. So are we!'"

they boast about how this game is going to be so revolutionary and how it's not "cookie cutter", but by the time it comes out, it will be so outdated. just like max payne. the ONLY thing it had going for it was the neat bullet time effect which was easily achived in a user mod for UT called crazy matrix way before that game was every released.
i just dont see why they didnt come out with their original ideas for duke, and then just make a sequal or something with all the stuff they're making now. in the time they've had, they could have made 2 really good games. it's been what? 5 years now? going on 6?

Last I heard the development team was trying to master those d@mn "pixel shaders". :P

They're still trying to grasp the power of the GeForce 256 ;)

Apparently the only part of Duke Nukem Forever that is ready for shipping...is the strippers :eek:. They put alot of work in on those.

I am sure once they can grasp DirectX they will be in good shape.

How did Warcraft III manage to get on a vaporware list? My understanding is that Vaporware titles are those games/apps that we've all been waiting for but never appear (much like DNF). If Warcraft III is vaporware I wanna know what game I have in my hand along with the expansion pack :confused: LOL

First of all: Its an old list.
Second of all: What expansion pack? :confused: :confused: :confused:

EDIT: Unless you mean that fake warezed expansion?

A lot of the vaporware is caused by some companie refusing to use already existing 3D engines.. They don't want to live with the constraints, and pay the royalties. Developing a new 3D engine is time-consuming, and is costly. Bad wages and working conditions also bog down development, because whenever the guys get sick of an employer, they leave, and a lot of the work is to be started over.

Duke Forever, IMO, will come out. And my little crystal ball tells me that it will be around the same time as DoomIII...

yeah, but that's no excuse for duke forever since it started out on the quake2 engine(i think) and ended up on the unreal warfare engine...

Yeah, they dropped the Quake 2 engine something like 2 years into production... STUPID MOVE!!!

I dunno, I don't have any expansion pack (if that's what you thought I meant). I heard there was an expansion pack coming out, called something like Warcraft World.

I think you're thinking of Worlds of Warcraft which is a different game entirely. Thats a MMORPG and its due out in mid 2004.
EDIT: This still doesnt explain why you said u had it in your hands :p

Ah now I see, I'll have to look out for more info on it.

BTW if you read what I said you'll see that I never said I had an expansion pack in my hand LOL How can I possibly have something that doesn't exist!?

Dude, screw DNF, I want TF2!!! I've read and seen everything out there on it, even movies of the engine but nothing in last year or so! so frustrating.

BTW, max payne had many things that made it unique when it came out. The graphic novel alone made it worth playing. The game had style , I've yet to see another game quite like it. Engrossing plot, scripting, everything was slick. It raised my expectations for games.

yeah, and it only took a quarter of my life to finally come out...

I'm still waiting for DNF, I will wait for it till I die. I just kind of hope it comes out before they transfer me to Iraq (Navy).

12-23-2002, 04:21 PM

I'm sorry guys but yes I put the quote in my sig, it's just too good. Anyways I too have been waiting for this game, hell it reminds of when I was waitng for BFP(Bid For Power)which is a Quake3 MOD, in the end they had to change everything because they used DBZ Chars in the game and didnt get permossion.... Ohh well, if DNF ever comes out let me know..

Kero-chan

12-23-2002, 07:53 PM

just a suggestion, but you might want to do something like:

DNF: "This is the game I'm going to be telling my grandkids about waiting for -- and then they're going to tell me, 'Yeah, we know. So are we!'"

so that people know which game you're talking about ;)

of course, i'm sure that if you asked joe smoe on the street what is the #1 game in vaporware right now, they'd say DNF ;)

True but this can apply to many games: DNF, Warcraft III, Bid For Power, and I'm sure World of Warcraft will soon be added to the list. Although Warcraft III and Bid For Power (sort of) did come out, They're off the list now..:D

By the way I changed it, your right it makes more sense this way..

yeah, i dont have high hopes for WoW coming out in this millenia... at least blizzard isnt doing starcraft:ghost. i definitely want to play that this century :D

I'm actually really looking forward to Starcraft Ghost. If they do it right (ie: not let it suck with crappy controls and boring levels, and some cool SKs are essential!) it will OWN!!

well, all the shots and vids i've seen so far look like butter :D
i just hope they do a good job on the gamecube port. i dont have high hopes for the ps2, and until xbox comes out with some games i like, i dont plan on buying one since i've already spent close to a grand this year on consoles and games...
