Shacknews has seen Duke Nukem Forever
Monday, April 28th, 2008 - 4:58pm
Well, that's more than I thought they had.

Huh. Wait.. We both confidently agree that after seeing this demonstration, Duke Nukem Forever is looking great, and will easily stand apart from the crowd in both visual and gameplay styles.
Shacknews can also confidently state that, contrary to previous reports, Duke 4 will not be arriving in 2003. But the article is dated April 28th 2008? How old is this?

I'm pretty sure they're poking fun at themselves (since the article from 5 years ago suggested it would be coming out soon).

I got to see Duke Nukem as well, I was in IKEA the other day and after eating some mystery food at the outlet center off 290 I needed to visit the restroom. As soon as I was done I turned around and there was Duke Staring right at me from the pot! Let me tell you something the Bump-mapping was CRAZY good.

Mex is my hero = "f*ck it, I'll do it. WE'LL DO IT LIVE."
I can only imagine that Duke Nukem Forever would have to make Oblivion, Bioshock, and GTA IV look like Atari 2600 games in order to be anything but Daikatana 2: Another Punchline.

I decipher their impressions as "It looked mediocre but at least it let you control construction equipment".
After spending the better part of my gaming life waiting for the release of this game, I tend to think that I would be disappointed if it DID come out. I'd have to look elsewhere for the punchline to my snarky comments about release dates.
I put it to you, the internet, that waiting for DNF is indefinitely more fun than playing it could ever be.

Everyone thinks this way, but when the game finally releases, all of the pre-release waiting and years of vaporware instantly become meaningless.
Only when the game is complete crap does the endless delay baggage stay around. When the game is good, like Team Fortress 2, the back history is vaporized in a blink. Even when it's just OK, like Prey, it's the same case.
If Duke Nukem Forever releases and is a reasonably good shooter, that will pretty much be the end of it.

It may be higher profile than most delayed games, but should it actually hit market, DNF delay jokes would become staler than cake references inside of a week.

Don't think I've ever made fun of DNF. That's why if it's released I can just sit back and make fun of the people who did, you impatient judgmental loudmouthed teenager-wannabes.

Yeah, i love the way that people in the Shacknews thread go off on one about how they don't care about it anymore etc etc... It's funny how they care so little that they post snide comments and also how much they don't care about the game.

I just hope they revised the quotes for the current InterTubes Standard(tm).
"Shake that Oogaba baby."
"I CAN HAS OOGABA?"
"It's time to kick ass and google for Oogaba, and I'm alllll out of tubes!"
"I'm gonna rip your head off and hot coffee mod in your neck!"
I don't watch, I interact!
Your thinly veiled accusation has hit its mark. I didn't expect any confusion on this matter, but allow me to clarify. I don't care about the game, not unless it's good. I care about making a mockery out of people's weaknesses and feeling superior, if even for a second, if ever the opportunity presents itself. Here I find opportunity aplenty.
Not to mention DNF is going to be the best game ever made in the history of humankind, and all naysayers are just too narrow-minded to foresee its eminent majesty. It's going to be the legacy of Halo rewritten, but more better, and deliver the most refined shooter experience that will take longer than twenty hours to finish. Of course, the faithless heathens will believe none of that, which is just typical of them - faithless, and heathen, and faithless. I rest my case.

I don't care about DNF either. That's why I haven't posted in this thread.

I'm confused... is this a joke? I was talking about the people in the shacknews thread who were blabbing on about 'How they didn't care about DNF and that it would be Daikatana 2' etc.
I thought you were of the same opinion because you wrote: "Don't think I've ever made fun of DNF. That's why if it's released I can just sit back and make fun of the people who did,"...
There was no thinly veiled accusation on my part.

You could always fall back on Valve for snarky release date comments...

Since you were making fun of people claiming not to care about Duke Nukem, it sounded like you were making fun of me, who claimed to not care about DNF or making fun of it. Now I know my assumption was incorrect, but it's alright. Consider my last post as directed to you anyway and snap back as befit your wit and sense of humor. I have a distaste for smilies used for the purpose of neutralizing an otherwise hostile-sounding post, but please be assured that on this subject matter, I'm always joking.

Finally some good news for DNF fans. I hope that they don't hit another development hitch this time and really release the game
I don't care for FPS games, but over the years I just feel bad for both the developer and the fans.

They should have released the game when I still cared about it.
How many FPS games have been released since DNF was announced? How many game engines have they gone through?
If it's good I'll play it, if not I won't bother. I definitely won't get it at launch, which is what I would have done if they'd bothered to release it 7 years ago.
They really goofed because I just don't see Duke Nukem having the same recognition he used to have. Good grief, a lot of the people playing FPS games these days were in diapers when DNF was announced!

Good point, what Valve lacks in endurance (they don't have anything 10 years old in the hopper do they? How long was TF2 in development?) they make up for in consistency (it's the rare project that they don't delay). One key point separates Valve from DFN & Co, when Valve does release something, late or not, it's usually good.

Wouldn't it be quite ironic if they finally finished DNF and at the same time the government introduced a bill banning violence in video games?

"I'd say I was joining the winning team, but that'd imply there existed a time when I wasn't on team evil."
When Team Fortress 2 came out with that first screenshot showing every class, I knew it was gonna be good and my faith was renewed.
And then we played it a few months later and all the vaporware jokes disappeared, because it was actually pretty f*cking good.
