Duke Nukem Forever RIP

(1/7) > >>

KvP:
A major fun peddler from our childhoods has passed

SilentJ:
Whoa, I didn't even know there was a Duke Nukem game in development.  I thought Duke Nukem 3D was the last game they were making.  And Apogee is definitely a great gaming company; growing up I had like four of those 100 PC Game collections or whatever, and looking back a whole lot of the good games on thsoe discs were made by Apogee: Crystal Caves, Cosmo's Cosmic Adventure, Secret Agent, Major Stryker, Rise of the Triad, Wolfenstein, Blake Stone, Hocus Pocus, Math Rescue, Word Rescue, Halloween Harry... ah, good times.

Fun comparison, look at how far the Duke Nukem franchise went from the original game.

bicostp:
They've been making (and scrapping and restarting) DNF since at least the late 90s. Kind of like what Valve did with TF2, but at least they released other games in the meantime (and finally finished the game). 3D Realms released, what, a few phone ports of Duke Nukem 3D and the two Serious Sam games in the last 10 years?

As a side note, 'DNF' is also an auto racing term for Did Not Finish. :lol:

TheFuriousWombat:
Ah tis a sad, sad day. I remember more than a decade ago when this game was announced and then not much more than a decade ago when the jokes about how delayed it was began. Since then it has always been "that game in development." DNF was in development pretty much my entire life as a gamer and while I was never all that excited for it and never honestly thought it would come out, it's still sad to see it officially dead. Hats off to dragging it out as long as possible guys!

Johnny C:
Duke Nukem Forever isn't necessarily dead, just 3D Realms. Take-Two are adamant about retaining the publishing rights. They'll probably pawn it off to someone capable of completing it.
