nobody but 3D Realms have ever truly stuck to "when its done", and they died with it.
Really?
Whats blizzards motto, when its done?
Is that why Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 are not out yet?
Sometimes, think before you speak.

Looks quite good but when you factor in the 12 year development cycle, quite good doesn't quite cut it.
epic fail.
this should serve as an example to all developers to get their **** together and start thinking of the games development business as any other business. Timeliness, is just as important as quality and price.
12 years for this? unbelievable
releasing duke could have stopped them going under. hopefuly someone will put some funding in to complete the project as someone will still own the rights.

Man I use too remember when on 3drealms boards some guys started moaning about the vapourware and its all fake game threads and that use too rally up everyone on the board lol
Looks like 10 years ago they were right ! Either way its sad it wasnt leaked even one decent map and some Duke Carnage would have been good for a bit !
Remember the old days when you could have fun with just one simple map and CTF or DM online.
Was nice too see Duke one last time anyhow...

I can confirm that there was far more completed than what this video implies. The guy obviously stripped away details in some of the video to highlight the motion and animations.
I've played a good bit of the game, my bro worked there. That scene with the big alien in the football field? That's the first level, it's Duke playing an arcade version of Duke 3D inside his huge Duke mansion. This was last summer and I saw four different levels and environments that were fully playable (some just needed some polish).
They basically started making the game again from scratch (as they've done a few times) about a year and a half ago. They had a hard cut-off date for development (11/2009) and a ship date (4/2010). They were stupid close to actually finishing this thing.
Was it going to be worth 12 years wait? Of course not. But it looked like a solid offering from a studio that had spent 2.5 years working on a title.
DNF will make it out some day, apparently George is making an announcement sometime this week.
Somebody will snap it up!
Im hoping valve take a long hard look at this, id prefer them to get it out of all the pc devs out there.
