If it does come out.. I will still buy it.


But it's hard to imagine a company letting a franchise like this be allowed to be all but forgotten about.

Amen. So true, so true. They tried to stir some of their old fans back up with Manhatten project. I got it but I don't think it's too great.

No one's sure, but it's believed that they've switched engines, again(or at least picked up a newer Unreal engine).

See, that's the key problem.

This is a game that was supposed to be what.. a Quake killer?
Maybe Quake II? I forget.

Even if the game will be released and will be more than the developer team could've ever imagined, it still has to compete with everything Doom III and Half Life II will have to offer, as well as probably tons of other excellent games if we're looking at another solid year before release.

This is going to be an even bigger joke than Diakatana, even if the game does pretty well and doesn't suck. Since I saw the first shots of it back in late 1997 or early 1998, we're talking about nearly 10 years in development.

Frickin' laughable.

based on the E3 2001 preview I've seen, if DNF comes out in 2005... they better rebuild the graphics engine completely or it's going to look like Max Payne 1 graphics.

Have you seen the rolling footage of DNF from E3 2K1 ?
I have it on my HD. Despite its "age" it looks far better than alot of games out today. I dont know which one you`ve seen, but the one ive seen is on par with Unreal2 gfx wise.

This is rediculous. The developers need to /themselves. Why is it taking sooo long? Other developers have ran circles around their sorry @$$es .

Wow... way to post the only joke known to every person whos ever touched a computer, and still feel the need to emphasize what the punchline is. I'm speechless.

Also, I don't believe in any release dates for this game aside from the one officially from 3dRealms website that says "released yesterday"

Sorry. I don't live for games and so have never heard it. It was original to me. So - :p

3D Realms is actually pioneering a new strategy to collect revenues from pre-orders alone.

I'm almost positive that I read they switched off the Unreal engine to one of the newer ones, but I'm not sure which one.
