It seems that 3D Realms is no more and that the 13 year development cycle of DNF has been in vain

Nanoman · 7 May 2009 at 02:17

That's a shame. 3D Realms are old skool.

Neoni · 7 May 2009 at 02:51

hah, funny.

Ah well.

All that waiting for nothing

Never saw that coming.... again....

Smit · 7 May 2009 at 08:14

Ok so the game may never have been released but I was looking forward to it

Johnnytoxic · 7 May 2009 at 08:17

They should just let people download all the different versions at least.

Indeed they must have done SOMETHING with all the time they have had!

Jamesdavid3 · 7 May 2009 at 09:18

What a complete Joke, im guessing they would have done well over 60% of the game, so all thats just going to be wasted now? fs

HAHAHA.

Phatjayunoi · 7 May 2009 at 09:21

Not seen much about the game, But next Gen Duke Nukem would have been awesome

It's a bit of a shame really but it looks like that DNF really is now vapourware!

Hostile_18 · 7 May 2009 at 10:43

I think this could be the biggest gaming dissapointment ever. Even after all this time I still had hope it would rival the greatness of Duke 3D. I can only imagine how fans on their forums must feel after 13 long years lol.

It always has been.

You know you've got big problems when it's the first link in the "See also" section on wikipedia.

Well I wonder if someone will either pick it up and finish it, or if they'll just release the playable beta code for free, just to prove that it would've been as good as they said it was.
I refuse to believe that they'll let a 13yr project die when it was actually quite close to being 'ready'.
