Is Duke Nukem Forever going to be released this year?

[Pocatello]

I haven't heard anything about this game for a long time. Thought it was released last Christmas.

I hope a newer version is released sometime in the future.

3D Realms official stance on release dates for Duke Nukem Forever is 'when it's ready'

Helpful isnt it?

 

[sandorski]

I sure hope so! 🙂 I wanna shrink and squish some aliens, daggnabit! :|

Duke Nukem in Manhatan is coming next April, Duke Nukem Forever, I dont know they dont have the Engine yet.

This is going to be an outdated game when its finally released. But hopefully, it'll still be fun.

I agree that they have missed their window to be technologically cutting edge, but the game is going to see the light of day this year.....we'll know more at E3..

Saw a news bit a month ago over at voodooextreme.com saying that it wouldn't be out until November. And there is this article on the publisher that mentions DNF also:

<< Paul Eibeler, Take-Two's president, said on the call there could be upside to the full-year guidance if "Duke Nukem' Forever'' for the PC launches in fall or early winter, as expected. >>

It kinda reminds me of Daikatana!

I bet it either gets canned or ported forX Box only :disgust:

As I rember it was supposed to use the Quake 2 engine.
Then the Unreal engine.
And who knows which one now, that was 4 years ago.

 

[NeoV]

it is still based on Unreal Engine tech....

No. As its name states, it's going to take "Forever" for the game to be release!

Actually the title has now been changed to "Duke Nukem Whenever!" 😉

Here's the REAL scoop on Duke4Ever:


3DRealms has decided to change engines for Duke 4 to the more advanced Q4 engine and promises this will be much more fun for gomers who also have the new GeeWiz 256mb video card and 1gig of ram. "We are only thinking of you gomers" says 3DRealms. This "slight" delay shouldn't be no more than 3 years at which such time there is a viable possibilty of another switch to either the upcoming UT4 or Q5 engine. More details in 2-3 years. thanks to all of you for your loyal support!"

It's INSANE how long this game is taking, BUT if it rocks, who'll complain? Half-Life to a loooooooong time and it looks like ass compared to UT and RtCW, but so what? It's a great GAME! Heck, Duke 3D is still a cool game if you can get past the Lego graphics.

Better a late, visually OK game that has awesome gameplay than a rushed, bleeding edge engine game that sucks.

Didn't you guys hear ? It's going to be bundled with the next BitBoys videocard.

 

[Egrimm]

There's a reason it's called forever 😉

"when it's ready" = "when we get around to it"
