Yeah, how many times already? like 3?
Can someone verify this?
Also, wasn't that April 14th date there long time ago?

Who cares??? Way too late and too much competition out there.They would have to make a revolutionary leap in game play now to be anything more then a joke.Anyone remember a game with mechanical frogs that was really dark and ugly?? I think this will be the sequel.

I think we're all interested in it because as soon as it is released we will lose a large part of our computer gaming history and tradition. How can we make DNF jokes if it actually isn't vaporware? It's one of the constants of the gaming universe on which everything else is based.
I hope you understand the significance now! :p
Edit: forgot a question mark

We can buy more than one game ya know. ;)

Placeholders. They don't represent the current state of the game ... which is why they were removed from 3drealms official homepage (http://www.3drealms.com/duke4/index.html). :)

As many times as they have had to rebuild "Duke," they could have released three games already. DNF is the stuff of urban legend. Is it the most delayed game of all time? It still might be cool when it comes out, but I think the confidence level on it being good is at an all time low.

They have had plenty of time to improve upon the gameplay, workout the bugs, etc :)

I still believe :D... I believe it's DUKE NUKEM: FORNEVER. It will hit the shelves when we (the 1st duke generation) has passed away, and the company will laugh on our graves and call us suckers for believing it could come out in our lifetime. What a bunch of a$$holes those execs are...

I thought about this before I posted... we (the sharky members) spend most of our precious time and money on our computers. The execs spend most of their time doing work. I predict that they will have enough money to buy artificial (bionic) limbs and organs to keep them living until 2200 AD. This is all while the average sharky member (let's say 20 years of age for our purposes) will have died by 2100 AD. So there you have it, they will dance and party on our graves.

This would be true if they keep to one game engine. Last I heard, DNF was using the Unreal engine (as in Unreal 1). Now this may or may not cause them problems as there have been several new games released that use a greatly modified half-life engine. Of course all those games have been criticized as having dated graphics.

They could easily upgrade from the original Unreal engine to the Unreal Warfare engine.

I can't say I'm up on all the technical issues of doing so, but beyond symply moving the data over, to avoid dated looking graphics, they would have to rework their maps and models to a higher polygon count, and most likely would have to rework textures to be higher quality. Plus, all the custom code would have to be ported to the Unreal Warfare engine. If they are in fact still working on it, I would guess that is what is taking them so long.

But thats just it, the Warfare engine is just an upgraded Unreal engine, the custom code should still work the same as it did before.

Speak for yourself. I usually can't afford more than one game at a time, and it's usually quite some time between my purchases.

I agree with Un4given, my games are few and far between, so I try to pick what ones I think I will like. Most of the time I only buy games when they go below $25. So they are old to everyone but me.

i personally can't believe that DNF has not been released. 3DRealms knows that the name itself carries a huge amount of sway. and it's not like the avg Duke Nukem player is very discerning. assuming it's in complete limbo right now, they should just start over again using Source or Carmack's latest and greatest, heck even an improved MP2 engine would be fine!
i mean come on, all i wanna do in DNF is kill a bunch of pigs and give money to strippers in full DX9 glory. is that too much to ask?!

If you give four monkeys four computers and an infinite amount of time, you'll eventually end up with Duke Nukem Forever. I think that might be their business plan.

Not another "Duke Nukem release date" thread. I swear they are just toying with us LOL.
Me, I don't care, if the game gets released I'll find some sap who buys it and borrow it so I don't waste my own money on this century's biggest joke ... or I'll acquire it by other means because there ain't no way I'm parting with cash for it.

But this game is doomed (pardon the pun).
Even if it does arrive, it will never live up to the hype.
Anyone thinks otherwise needs to get off the pipe.
