Duke gets a release date

[orderoftheflame]

Didn't we get a beta key on Steam ages ago? Any idea when that will be usable?

You'll have a demo key if you bought Borderlands GoTY edition I think. It'll just let you play the demo a bit before everyone else.

Dammit just hurry up and get the demo released will ya Gearbox?

I keep checking to see when the demo's out and keep getting more and more miffed that it isn't!

Where is THE DUKE!?!?

 

[mrk]

Control yourself man!

This is close to matching Daikatana in Epic Fail terms.

I don't think it's a joke, they're making a joke out of it.

 

[Egon]

Fair play to them. Made me chuckle.

 

[matt_fsr]

Not got sound here on work PC, but I'll watch it when I'm home.

I suppose all they can do about any delays is laugh, if they try to take anything serious it'd sound wrong.

 

[AWPC]

The delay is more likely about they do not think they can compete with the following anticipated games which all come out a few weeks either side of the original May date in no particular order:

The Witcher 2
Fear 3
Portal 2
Fable 3
Bring
Red Faction Armageddon
Dirt3
Dungeon Siege3
Hunted The Demons Forge

All vastly different games but all looking for the same limited gamer funds!!! & most are multiplatform coming to PC/PS3/360

So instead they have chosen mid June going head to head with Alice Madness Returns so I can guess it will slip to late summer realistically if not early autumn as games sell poorly in July-August its usually a dumping ground for rubbish games & Alice is likely to be a big seller based on the reception the original got

I think they should just man-up release it on PC now digital download only as its obviously almost ready on PC only the 2 month console certification is holding it back but as it was a PC only game originally that would be the fairest thing to do (not that it will ever happen unfortunately..... ).

It's only 4 weeks. not like the game has been in dev for 12 years or something.

 

[Mr Paul]

Delayed lol

 

[McGray]

Publicity stunt surely....?

 

[LeJosh]

Personally I think this will be awesome.

Even when development started when I was 7.

Publicity stunt surely....?

A bad one after 12 years :/
