3D Realms: We Screwed Up Duke Nukem Forever

Sorry if this has been posted before i did do a search and nothing came up

What the hell happened to Duke Nukem Forever? 3D Realms hasn't released an internally produced game since Shadow Warrior, a shooter that ran on an advanced version of the Build engine. Someone screwed up along the way, and, thankfully, 3D Realms is finally starting to admit that publicly as Duke Nukem Forever finally becomes a reality.

First, we fully admit we're screwed up the development of DNF, and it's now an industry joke. I laugh (and cry) when I think about it, too. Our fault is that we set the bar too high, and we tried too hard to make the game to beat all games," studio CEO Scott Miller told YouGamers in an interview. "In the last 18 months we've taken a much more realistic look at the project, we've hired a truckload of experienced help, and I personally believe we are now on the right track&finally."

So basically they're saying that it's taken ages but still won't live up to people's expectations. Stop the ****** presses... :rolleyes:

Least they're starting to be a bit more realistic about the whole thing, so maybe there's a snowballs chance in hell of it being released.

2 years ago they said they were in the final stages and were just tweaking with the gameplay.

sirlemonhead · 21 Mar 2007 at 19:38

They restarted fairly recently i think. within the last 3 years at most..

They started development about 3.5 years ago actually, but delayed last year and started development 3 years ago and 5 years from last year and then a further 2 from the previous.

Seriously guys, this game is never coming. DNF is just one of 3DRealm's ways to stay in the headlines for years and decades on end.

now finally people realise why they called it duke nukem FOREVER!!

I loved Duke 3D, it was just the best 3d shooter of its era, Hologram Duke, Pipe Bombs, Night Vision, Massive bosses & of course strippers!

I wish they would just use a modern engine and remake the original!

I must admit its always being the game I've looked forward to the most since I finished Duke Nukem in 1998.

Imagine if it came out and was simply awsome, wiped the floor with Crysis
