DNF Delayed.

[Lonyo]

Entirely plausible that they planned to release it on the "new" release date, and May was just a giant troll.
Drums up even more free advertising with everyone reporting about and talking about the forever delayed Duke Nukem.

Having watched that video, I think they had planned the delay on purpose.

Cudos to Gearbox. Great marketting gimmick if they planned it, great way to deal with the delay if they didn't.

 

[QueBert]

wait, so the original release date has the US getting it 3 days before the international launch. But the new date, we get it 4 days after the international launch.


That's some bullshit for sure.

Duke Nukem never comes early.

Pretty good.

 

[monkey333]

So... no link or anything? Just a "hey it's delayed again LULZ"

gee sorry, I thought I'd quickpost, as it was a busy morning. Guess google must have been down for YOU...

 

[lord_emperor]

Judging by how bad bulletstorm appears to be... apparently it is.

404 Boobs not found.

 

[Phynaz]

So there US version is shipping after the international version? Seems weird.

 

[Crow550]

So pissed....I was all ready to pre-order it. Now I just feel like not buying it at all. Like F*** it!

Evil trickery.

I was thinkin back in Jr. High when I pre-ordered the game too & the company I pre-ordered it from called me: "We are canceling your pre-order as the release date of the game is unknown."

Then bam gets delayed again. At this point I am just caring less.... Would be kinda funny if no one bought this and it became the biggest flop of all time.

Well see. However I have other games to play. F-this. I was starting to get hyped yet again too.

I mean even if this was planned all along as a joke. Still mean.

Erg lame!

I will get it from Steam X-mas sale for $10.
Unless X-mas moves (to the actual JC birthday), no delay for me.

It won't be delayed again it's obvious from the video that Gearbox probably had this stunt planned from the moment the took over the project.

They need time to strip out any references to sex in the US version.

They needed to strip out the sex and violence for the Aussie version but as that just left the options screen it was fairly quick to do.

 

[wirednuts]

if this game needs a patch to play online or get past the 3rd level ill be pissed

 

[Crow550]

I'm not really that irked about the delay anymore.... Maybe because I have other games to beat.

I trust Gearbox will make this worthwhile for fans and freaks that have been members of the 3D Relams boards for the past....I don't know when those boards opened up.

Anyways 12 years of hearing tidbits in magazines, teaser trailers and interviews....
