Gearbox Delays Duke Nukem Forever Until Summer

[flaming_squirrel]

and so it begins...

We all knew that a release date was too good to be true.

 

[jokulhaups]

I would expect nothing less from a genre defining masterpiece...

 

[sheogoraththemad]

I think randy pitchford is a pretty nice guy

 

[GeorgW]

Nice vid. I would have liked it for them to delay it just one day, for old time's sake. Maybe they still will. Also, woohoo, we'll be getting it before you yanks!!

 

[fanklok]

But when do we get to check out the demo?

 

[Zenn3k]

Nooooooooooooo!!!!

/cry

 

[jpoon]

I'm gonna laugh when this game gets average ratings.

 

[punipunipyo]

well... as long as it don't come out the same time "Deus EX Humi-Revo", I'll be fine... I'd hate to choose... anyhow, I needed the time to catch up on my other 2 titles anyhow, Too many games this year... what's wrong with the industry this years? seems EVERYONE is shipping their game this year! it's like they expect the world to end next year or some thing! I don't get it...

 

[The Stonker]

Well, I would rather have a great polished game rather then a shoddy product lets just hope that it comes out ...

 

[OmegaXIII]

I'd rather they delay it and make sure it's polished rather than release a shoddy product. We've already waited 12 years a few more months won't matter. It works for Blizzard, I don't think they've ever released abad game.But this game better be amazing. There's no excuse now.

Basically this.

I do quite appreciate the sense of humour shown here though

And so it begins. Then soon they need another month, and another, and yet another, and then another 13 years have gone by and still no Duke.

Yep, sorry Duke, but I'd bet on that before I'd bet on you.

 

[MrJoyless]

I wonder why its 4 days later in the US now....thats odd

 

[Exort]

We all knew this is coming. No suprise.

 

[ScroogeMcDuck]

WHY? WE WERE SO CLOSE.

 

[Darksteel Mike]

Oh well, trailer was awesome.Will that be the only enjoyable thing to come out of this decades Duke?

 

[Mouse_Crouse]

At this point I can just imagine the meeting that went on. Just that sinking feeling in teh pit of your stomach when you realize after ALL that, you were going to delay it again.

Dev A:"Guys we have to delay Duke Nukem Forever, it's just not ready."
Dev B:"Ha ha great one! Could you imagine the reaction if we actually delayed this game?"
Dev A:"No really. I'm serious."
Dev B:"..."

i just woke up from a 10 year coma...bad news...GTA is now a dating sim where you mostly get to date your cousin. Good news..just in time for next duke game

 

[Micah Weil]

"This is Gearbox Software, reminding you what you're dealing with."

 

[Trogdor1138]

Fine by me, it's obviously not ready yet and needs some more polishing (I know, shush).

From a personal standpoint it's cool since I was worried I'd be overloaded with games the next two months, so the pace is improved
