Gearbox Delays Duke Nukem Forever Until Summer

[PeregrineFalcon]

OK people taking bets, when you load up the game, after you hit start and the intro music starts playing.... Rickroll'd

I believe that's the demo.

 

[qbanknight]

Not at all surprised, but it's a month delay rather than a year delay, so I'm ok with this

 

[Art Axiv]

Always bet on Duke.
I know I do.

 

[kurupt87]

The Duke never "comes" early.

Heh, nice tagline.

As for the new release date; international before US, boo yah!

On a more serious note, grrr delays...

 

[The Hungry Samurai]

April 1st launch confirmed

 

[Irridium]

This is the funniest thing I've read today. The only way it could get better is if Valve delayed Portal 2.

 

[Cool Welshy]

AW SON OF A...

Meh, I'm certain one more won't hurt.

Also, international release before America. YES.

 

[Fingerthing]

The cycle begins again...

 

[dragongit]

I'm not particularly interested in the game. But I find it hilarious non the less for some reason. At least they sort of went about it humurously instead of a boring press conference, or no notification beyond a post on their website. A month later isn't so bad for some people.

They should hope to dear god the game is incredible after putting their potential customers through so many hoops. The game taking 15 years was one thing, but to keep pushing it back, they might be afraid it won't live up to expectations.

 

[Radoh]

A delay that's a little over one month? Acceptable, especially considering how long a wait it has been so far, but still pretty funny.

P.S. Is it grammatically correct to abbreviate it has as it's, or is that only for it is?

 

[Riobux]

So it begins...

 

[Frozen Donkey Wheel2]

Ha. Ha ha. HA HA HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHBHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHBHWAHAHAHAHAHBHAHWHEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHJKFHSHEEHEHEHEHEHEHEEEEEEEEEEEHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHBHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, good thing I wasn't planning on getting it in the first place.

Also, that video was hilarious. "Duke never comes early"....I know I shouldn't find that funny, but I do.

 

[gibboss28]

So its out when I'm at download festival?

...Wankers

 

[pretentiousname01]

I had to check my calendar.

part of me is very sad about this.

However the rest of me sees and realizes the heart and soul gearbox is putting into this game.

Also its only 5 weeks they are delaying it.

I will forgive this one. Much like I forgave the shenanigans behind ssf4. However I won't be forgiving many more delays

 

[US Trooper]

that video was funny; even though i was looking forward to May at least they showed that the game is being worked on.

 

[CommanderKirov]

I had a nightmare about Duke Nukem being delayed yesterday.


And now it became reality.... WHYYYYYYYYY?!

 

[WanderingFool]

NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


But seriously, this sucks...

 

[Tipsy Giant]

Well after your cockiness of assuring release date, here is my teaser as to what is really going on at gearbox

 

[LadyRhian]

Not to be the nut who goes, "Gasp, this is a fake.", but, seriously. We've got eight days until April First. The release dates for international are just wrong. This was clearly something rehearsed and constructed, and April 1st was even mentioned in the video.

I'm betting on April 1st, we'll get a video and the demo that says, "Duke Nukem came early." and the release date will be sometime in late April or early May.

"Help, Premature Ejaculation man!"
"I'm coming."

I love Gearbox' PR. They mix equal amounts of humor and personality - sort of like that Sony spokesperson's ads, only done right.
