I was bored earlier reading an old mag and Duke Nukem Forever popped into my head. I remember reading about it years ago being in development but never seeing the finished thing.

I've just done a search for it and its still being developed which apparently started in 1997! I figured it had crashed and burned, this must be one hell of a game to be developed that long. Anyone know anything else about it??
 
when/if it does eventualluy get released it will either be the biggest and greatest game ever or it will flop lol

im still lookin foward to it over all these years tho, cant beat the duke
 
Its disgusting this game has taken nearly 10 years up to now....and from what they are saying on the forum it looks like its going to be at least another two years before its out. What a complete wee take.

Huh? Prey is out... you know that right? :confused:

prey was originally developed years ago, possibly based on the quake or quake 2 engine? I cant remember.

the new version is just the old "development hell" prey updated.

there was a video of DNF at the E3 2006 I think? google video will have it. it looks dated but still looks possibly fun to me. wont be a major hit more of a excellent bargain bin find.
 
Should be called Duke Nukem Whatever, given the "can't be ****** to wait for it anymore" attitude most gamers cater for it now

DNF was certainly not shown at E3 2006, maybe 2002, but not this year :p
 
its beyond a joke now.

the developers need to be slapped

theyre tryin to make it perfect, no such thing as perfect in this world of ours.
 
Prey was announced about half a year before DNF originally, so it looks like DNF may in fact take the delayed crown after all (heh I just realised that DNF is an acroynm for Do Not Finish)

No, I think they're trying to suck down venture capital for all it's worth. When that runs out I bet they'll just write off the project and disband.

DNF will never be released, just like the Phantom console.

Heh it might actually overtake Prey as the most delayed game ever.

total annihilation 2 has that honour... its been started and stopped by 3 different companys over the last ten years. finally chris taylor the creator of total annihilation has gotten off his arse and is giving us Supreme Commander as a kind of "spiritual succesor".
 
Every month they kept saying it's going to be the best game vever with features like ....... never seen before.

2 months later someone else released a game with exactly that feature - they started all over again....

But I haven't heard any news about a planned release in years now.
 
Duke Nukem you'll be waiting Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever......


I think its classed as an urban myth now
 
If its just gonna be Duke3D but with updated visuals then I dont understand what has taken so long. They're either lazy, or dont have the talent - or both. Either that or it will be the greatest game ever, but I cant see that happening.
