Then the thread about cancelled games was bumped: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=401655
And I made an incredibly witty reference to 3D Realms constantly changing engines and tech during development in the Black Mesa thread: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=23106245&postcount=71
And now this? Clearly there are powerful forces at work here. Always bet on the Duke, indeed.
I prefer to think of it like a grizzled old soldier wishing his fellow soldiers luck before watching them go off to a war where most of them aren't going to make it back in one piece. But the ones who do will be better for it.
Hold up, let me call Randy Pitchford real quick...

Although, I have no idea what gaming will use as the vaporware gold-standard if this game ever does materialize.
Spoo said:So, based off all of this information, how can anyone possibly deny what we will see at PAX? Seriously.
Always bet on Duke.
VG247 said:However, Gearbox president Randy Pitchford loosened his lips just long enough to hint that more news might be on the way at PAX, which convenes at the beginning of September.
Out of respect, I won't ask for details. But I simply want to know, are you feeling happy/sad/ecstatic/optimistic, considering that the court case is now over with?
It's bittersweet. We went though a lot that we didn't have to because of a publisher that was all too willing to use their legal team as a weapon.
Had we not crafted a creative solution to the suit, it could have drug on and on and things could have stayed in limbo much longer than they were and it could have been a lose-lose-lose situation for us, Take 2 and the fans.

Goodnight, sweet princes. :'(
StuBurns said:Pigs fly is also probably a reference to pig cops.
EmCeeGramr said:Yes. YES. YESSSSSSSSSS.
THOSE ALIENS BASTARDS ARE GONNA PAY FOR MESSING UP MY DEVELOPMENT CYCLE
I said 'also', and 'probably'. Prove that it's not and I am wrong, speculate and state as fact and you're an idiot.Spoo said:Wrong. Pigs Fly is a reference to the 1up interview with Broussard a year or so ago in which he jokingly said "Duke Nukem Forever will be out when pigs fly."
Perhaps, based on the information I posted above, and just pure obviousness, that time is really fawkin' nigh, yeah?

thanks for your expert commentary guy that had to google his nameMaleficence said:Nope,can't be. I had to google the guy, but I don't believe it will ever come out. Or it at least wont be the same game.

I don't know, but I imagine this was "get it working and all connected, you have a year, it's costs us a fuckton" style situation.ZealousD said:You think they're incapable of endlessly delaying titles with a slim chance of actually coming out?

I don't doubt it at all.Spoo said:Sorry, I didn't see the "also" and "probably" in your post :\ But anyway, keep your eyes on Gearbox stuff at PAX; if you have even a passing interest in DNF, there will be a surprise there I'm willing to bet
gdt5016 said:We get lots of those
I don't get why people think this will be a good game though. Yeah, Resistance is garbage, as are virtually all console shooters, but I see no reason this will be a good game. I also see no indication the ironic commentary has progressed with the times. Both things could happen, it could be a good game, and it could contain progressive comedy, I just think there is nothing to suggest either.Zeliard said:We get lots of games like Duke?
No. We get, in fact, virtually no games like that. This is why this game would be a breath of fresh air - air tinged with the scent of bubble gum, cigar smoke and alien blood. It's a vast improvement over what goes for AAA blockbuster FPS these days, most of which constitute console gutter trash like Resistance.
What are you talking about? It's an FPS about a dude with an attitude that shoots aliens with big guns. I don't get where all the good faith comes from.Zeliard said:We get lots of games like Duke?

We're talking about Duke Nukem Forever here - you know, the game that's been in development hell for 13 years and no one has ever really seen other than a few vague teasers?Sub_Level said:It's also an FPS with the best level design ever, some of the most inventive weapons ever, and some of the best music ever.
That's the thing, DN3D was incredible, it still is very good, that doesn't in any way indicate that this game will be good.Zek said:We're talking about Duke Nukem Forever here - you know, the game that's been in development hell for 13 years and no one has ever really seen other than a few vague teasers?
Gearbox are wrapping up all of the work that 3D Realms have done. They haven't started over or anything.Colocho said:If it ain't 3D Realms making it, then it isn't Duke Nukem: Forever, it's just a random shooter that happens to have the same name.
Not that I think 3D Realms are gods or anything, is just that it clearly won't be the game that's been in development for 12 years.
guys that started gearbox also worked on dn3d :OTomasooie said:Gearbox are wrapping up all of the work that 3D Realms have done. They haven't started over or anything.
