EXACTLY, we NEED it not to be finished! Not just for the joke, but for gaming itself! Duke Nukem 3D was a legend. The sequel's not coming out is what people think of when you hear the word "duke", even if that's your dog's name. Duke Nukem Forever is not a game, it should never be a game. it is a fable. It is an embodiment of hype and desire. Duke Nukem Forever has a legacy. I truly hope this is all a joke, and it will be delayed just to continue this legacy.
Ah, but if they finish it, then it could be a metaphor for things that take a while, but end up awesome (or bad, if that's the outcome)?rileyrulesu said:
...No wait, we have TF2 for that.
I will be Debbie Downer. Gearbox spent less that a year on it. Much of it was leftovers made by 3D Realms, according to Gearbox. Why would we assume what they had made, scrapped and remade who knows how many times over a decade was good, and how much did Gearbox have to contrive to string it all together? What game that was ever started by one group and finished by a completely seperate group was ever considered great?VanityGirl said:
It could serve the same purpose, the warning for future generations, y coming out as the most dissapointing game ever, surpassing Daikatana. It's all about expextations being raised to the point that a great game could not meet them and a bad game seemes even worse as a result. Just like Attack of the Clones.SteakHeart said:
How to make a top selling game:
1. Announce a sequel to a popular tranches From the 90s.
2. Do absolutely nothing but say that you are making it for a good few years.
3. When everyone thinks that it is never coming out, quickly throw it together and release it ASAP!
4. Guaranteed SMASH HIT!
EDIT:
5. Get a ZP review of you fictional game to be voted a the best review on the week you announce your release.

This is going to be a huge hit. Seriously, look at this from a marketing perspective. This game can be terrible. You don't need content beyond a barebones game. You've got complete advertising saturation. Everybody knows about this game. Every gamer has heard of it, most non-gamers will be aware of it. Companies have gone belly up, it's been anticipated for 12 years. This is the kind of market opportunity companies with good games can only dream about.
Except Blizzard, they do the same thing. They just happen to be making money while they're not making games.

...And? Their last "big surprise" that everyone said was going to be Ep3 was that Portal 2 would be on PS3 or something like that...Nintendolover222 said:
I will buy this game only for the novelty. You can't claim to be a gamer without owning DNF on release day. I do believe that it will be released, that it will suck, and that it will sell millions. I'm looking forward to Yahtzee's review of the real game 
Do you realise, when they release DNF, it'll have been twenty years since the first game in the series was released?
Damn...
Damn...
