NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would seem that the long awaited game Duke Nukem Forever has been canned.

And after ten or so years of waiting for the game, I am pretty sure I am not the only one who's very deeply cut by this.

I suppose after such a wait one would expect that the game would never come out, but it still is quite a shock to see it put so officially like this.



R.I.P. Duke Nukem.

Duke Nukem Forever is still going to be made. It's just not going to be made by 3D Realms.

 

[McClaud]

It's still going to amaze half of us when it comes out that it actually CAME OUT.

And then we'll stop caring and being amazed. Probably because it will use outdated graphics and have a really shitty story while missing the entire boat that is Duke Nukem.

r.i.p. duke nukem forever.

 

[Horned Rat]

I can't too excited about this. It smells a lot like the latest Guns n Roses CD. 14 years to make and good, just not worth 14 years of, "It'll be out this year!"

 

[Caliostro]

Nooooooooo! Don't kill the industry's longest running joke! What was it by now? 11? 12 years?


Just say you're still making it! Not like anyone will ever notice the difference...

 

[CosmicGrenade]

this is what it says on the bottom of the news on the front page

UPDATE: Deep Silver and Apogee Software have issued the following statement: "Deep Silver and Apogee Software are not affected by the situation at 3D Realms. Development on the Duke Nukem Trilogy is continuing as planned."

 

[Beefcakes]

It appears that its going ahead as usual.
After reading the story, it says Duke Nuke'm Forever will continue production, until its eventual release
I guess that will make you happy though, yes?

 

[Christemo]

*yelling in yathzees voice* FUCK YOU, 3D REALMS, FUCK YOU OH SO BADLY. you have just committed a sin oh so bad the whole developers team should be kicked in the balls by chuck norris.

Itchy & Scratchy movie anyone?

I'll go break the news to Masterchief, Samus, Gordon Freeman, the guys from Doom and all the other first person shooter characters out there. I get the feeling this should be a 'private funeral'. Honestly I'm worried about how the group will take the loss, Freeman will most likely start his bad drinking habit again....

Remember when Master Chief died? Oh god, no one took it harder than Freeman. Sure, they had their differences, but deep down, they were really good friends.

What impossible but they released like 3 whole images 3 IMAGES!!!

Farewell joke of the industry ye shall be missed.

 

[LowFatLoki]

A part of me just died. ;-;

 

[Lord RPGs]

Allow me to assume briefly the persona of Rorschach, and state "Tonight, a videogame franchise died on the Escapist". It's an inaccurate quote, but hey. To the collective memories of a game that never was!

 

[McClaud]

This is why it's called Forever, because it's going to be infinitely in production.

 

[beholdmycape]

I guess it's time to stop working on a new installment in the Duke Nukem franchise and chew bubblegum....and they're all outta gum.

 

[Rigs83]

Epic Fail thy name be Duke Nukem Forever.

 

[Volucer]

Guess all those jokes about it taking forever to get to play it were true.
