Gearbox Delays Duke Nukem Forever Until Summer

[WingedFortress]

Hahahaha! Oh boy. Nice job guys.
Like, what could they need a few more weeks to do?

This is hilarious.

Guess that doesn't surprise me much... and it is at least nice to see that this thread isn't a bunch of racist-antiamerican messages like youtube was since the international release is now 4 days later.

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.

This is what I thought too. This is an april 1st joke 100% sure.

 

[Gentleman_Reptile]

This is actually fine with me. Gives me some extra time to get my busted playstation replaced.

 

[beema]

Didn't see this coming... The game is cursed. Must be.

Wait, really?

I bet they've been planning on this all along, just for a laugh. Hell, I expected them to at least delay it by like ONE day just before release, just for fun.

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

 

[Zhukov]

Wheeehahahahahahaaaaa

...

I say we start calling it Duke Nukem Forever and a Day.

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...
