Gearbox Delays Duke Nukem Forever Until Summer

[Delock]

Better than the Ico/SotC delay. 8 months (which also means that the Last Guardian will probably get pushed back since it was the December release for the company). 8 fucking months with no announcement what so ever. It was bad enough that they only really announced a date for it when they were forced to buy sales date spoiling (which WAS on April 1st, unlike Duke), but the fact that they haven't even said anything at all officially about the game irritates me to no end.

Oh for crying out loud!
What's Duke Nukem's favorite potato chip?
De LAYS

XD love it!

 

[phoenix352]

people seems to forget that April fools is just around the corner they might be just pulling our chains...

plus international shipping before the US? that never happens especially on a game that has the whole "America! fuck yeah!" theme going for it.


hell i still enjoyed the video even if its fake or real...

Duke Nukem

Delayed

Here we go...

 

[Twilight_guy]

Duke Nukem forever.... Delayed... Nooooooooo Reeeeeaalllllyyyyyyy? that's unpossible!

IO can understand where there are delays but you have to admit that its quiet funny that Duke Nukem forever is still being delayed after surviving going through a decade of delays dieing and then being brought back.

 

[Creator002]

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

Yep.
It's been so long. - It has been so long.

OT: At least it's only a little over a month and weird that North America gets it later than the rest of the world.
I hope it's not going to be a reoccuring thing... again.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Compared with the 14 years I have been waiting a month is nothing. Bring it on Gearbox, I am waiting.

 

[Admiral Stukov]

Seriously w/e, too many games are rushed to deliver on a date set far in advance. A lot of things can happen during development that makes it take longer. Better a bit late than cutting content á la KotOR 2 right?
[sub]Yes I know that 12 years can't be called "rushed" by any stretch, but it's not like it's been continuously worked on for that long.[/sub]

 

[Korzack]

Hahaha! Aah, they probably couldn't resist one more delay for the joke.

 

[shogunblade]

I know everybody is going to make a big joke about more delays, but I am waiting for a good game, not a crappy one, and I want to enjoy Duke Nukem the way it should be: Like a Fine Wine, if needed be. I will wait a little bit and hopefully play a pretty awesome game.

 

[blankedboy]

It's only been in development for a bit over a year, who can blame them?

 

[Tetranitrophenol]

we're at the point of this being not really worth getting mad over anymore

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

*see's thread*

Nice aprils fools escapist!

*remembers date*

Wait...

*reads thread*

Really Gearbox?

I- I don't trust this shit anymore.

I'm heading over to the gearbox fourms to see if I can make sense of this.

 

[BabySinclair]

Oh yeah, more delays, I can't keep myself from laughing

 

[Zulnam]

This is the coolest delay announcement ever made. I don't give a rat's ass if they delay it for another year, this here one minute movie is epic.

I gave up on waiting for DNF back in 2001 anyway. When it's ready, it's ready.

 

[Doclector]

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.

But...it could all be starting again! All over again, man!

First it's a few months, then a few more, than bang! Duke rides off into the sunset again, destroying gearbox in his wake, and perhaps most concerningly, leaving aliens colonial marines to finally die!

Although seriously, the above catastrophe pending, I'm kinda grateful. So...many...awesome...games...so little cash to spare at one time! So the duke appearing as a cure for the annual summer games drought would be pretty awesome.

JUST BEWARE! BEWAAAARE!

 

[The Grim Ace]

My PC and I sincerely believe we'll never be playing Duke Nukem Forever. Neither of us are entirely surprised but we're greatly annoyed that we bought an external hard drive just to have room to install it, well, that and Portal 2.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

EDIT: Just noticed that the rest of the world is getting the game BEFORE North America. Isn't that kind of odd? Not that I'm complaining, just that it's usually the other way around.

What I found as slightly more odd then that was that it went from coming out in North America first to shipping internationally first... It's not like it's a big deal, it just seems odd to me for some reason.

True.

I think that's ecivdence that this announcement is a joke.

Or maybe gearbox is gonna pull off the samne BS that nintendo does with releasing games in countries:

"LOL it takez 8 momths to tranzlate the game durh, even though there's already a english text option in the japense version"

 

[sir.rutthed]

Honestly, I think Gearbox just wanted to not be the only developer who didn't have a turn at delaying this title. Also:

CALLED IT.

 

[darkman80723]

Always bet on Duke......to show up late XD....ok yeah, that was lame but I thought it was funny...well that sucks I guess but I can't say that Im surprised.
