BREAKING NEWS: Duke Nukem Forever is going to be Multiplatform!

wunderbar

I found this article on IGN about Duke Nukem forever. I laughed when I clicked on it, because of the hilarity that is DNF. When I read it. I didnt' know whether to laugh of cry

Article

Now.....what should we do here. I don't know what to do. All I do know is that it's time for a DNF thread.



And for those of you living in a fucking CAVE. This is a penny arcade comic from the year 1999[/]. That's before Y2K folks.



EDIT: had to put the picture in, just to complete it.

EDIT2: someone rememberd the comic from 1999, that so deserves to be in the OP

Chinese Democracy for OST

Threepio

Christ. I was hoping it would 360 exclusive.

Karf

Lol.... Sony?

Oh, wait, I got one.

More liek Duke Duken for-never! Ah hah hah hah hah I'm going to go hang myself.

slash000

Yeah! I'll finally be able to use my preorder!








no DNF thread is complete without me coming in here to post it.

LewieP

You are a legend, slash

eryu90

Lothars

I would be surprised if it ever gets released, plus it's no surprised it's multiplatform

As legendary on these forums as that MSpaint grouphug thread or the ITT Lesbians thread.

It is part of our heritage.

Make love to me, slash.

Can anyone post the list (there's a specific list that's been made, and it's pretty large) of relevant things in gaming that have happened during the development cycle of DNF? I promise this time I won't lose it.

First STALKER, now this? I... I... just can't. What the hell is going on here!?

plufim

Multiplatform? So it'll be on.... PS4, xbox 720 and wii2? LOL?

Carnivore

I am picturing the start sequence of Independance Day.


Cuts to an empty office, it's night time.

'It's the end of the world as we know it' playing on the stereo.

Guy playing mini golf.


Suddenly it cuts to another speaker and this reverberating alien sound is increasing in tempo and volume.

Cut to the moon, shadow passing over the surface.

Cut upwards to see the boxart for Duke Nukem Forever as it approaches earth hellbent on our utter and complete destruction.

Polago

I'm still buying this thing when it's released. Unless it's $599.

Drez

I thought Tom Roberts had exclusivity rights to DNF.

Gosling

Oh, if this game ever gets released, it'll be the most outdated piece of trash on the shelves. And yet some hardcore gamers (read: people on our level) will buy it just to say they have it.

DarkPrimus

I'm actually kind of sad I got to throw away my STALKER/HL2 preorder slip.

Of course, it's so faded you can hardly tell anything is printed on it, and it's useless anyway since they switched to electronic preorders. But still.

Will they still accept a preorder that old?

they should give him the game for free imo!

Cause porting DNF to other consoles will only just speed up development.

Zephos

slash, you need to check with the store you did that at, there is a very good chance they dont have it on file anymore.

plufim

Oh man... you now how so many games when they go multiplatform drop the PC version to save costs?

Yeah... that would be... so horribly cruel. And hilarious.

Pretty sure slash doesn't live in the same city anymore.

Drez

I preordered Ultima 10 from Chips n Bits in like 1996. I can't fucking wait till that ships.

EDIT: Do I have to worry about inflation?

slash000

Hahah, I'm not worried about my DNF preorder being on file any more. I'm sure they've purged the records by now. It's been five years or so. But I'm sure DNF will be easily available anywhere for whatever system when/if it comes out. I just hold on to the preorder for hilarity's sake at this point; the longer before it comes out, the better... Although my preorder stub is getting rather old, faded, and delicate... Oh well.

Also, Renzo's right. I live in another city, but it's a 3 hour drive from Houston where I put the preorder in. I go back to Houston periodically; and, in fact, I'll be going to law school in Houston starting in the Fall, so I'll be there again for at least 3 years.

Not like the game will be out by the end of those three years, though.

I'll buy it. It'll be something to pull out for the grandchildren. They'll recognise it too. Everyone will.

You need to put the preorder in a frame to protect it.

The people at 3DRealms must have incredible job security.

The_Spaniard

By saying it's multiplatform I HOPE that it doesn't become a diluted mess like Deus Ex 2 became from being developed for the PC and Xbox at the same time. Though how well Prey was handled does give me hope.

3D Realms on DNF

"We're confident that DNF will be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, game of 1998. And this confidence is not misplaced." - Scott Miller, 1997

"Duke Nukem Forever is a 1999 game and we think that timeframe matches very well with what we have planned for the game." - George Broussard, 1998

"Trust us, Duke Nukem Forever will rock when it comes out next year (2000)." - Joe Siegler, 1999

"When it's done in 2001." - 2000 Christmas card

"If DNF is not out in 2001, something's very wrong." - George Broussard, 2001

"DNF will come out before Unreal 2.” - George Broussard, 2001 (Unreal 2 was released in 2003)

"DNF will come out before Doom 3." - George Broussard, 2002 (Doom 3 was released in 2004)

“Our idea is that we’re going to really start the marketing blitz when we feel like we’re about 10-12 months away from release. So as soon as you see something from us, that would be the indication that we’re within that time window… I think definitely the time window is under 3 years..” - Scott Miller, 2006

Scott Miller on DNF
Currently, 3D Realms is blaming inexperienced employees as to what has held back development, and are now looking for people who have 5 or even 8-10 years of experience (Which is ironic considering it’s been in development for that long). Additionally, Scott Miller sites that a lack of management has also held back development… In short, as Scott Miller says “We suck.”

So it's going to be on the Phantom?

MegaMan001

Slash, you should know I still have that image saved since the first time I saw you post it. I say you frame that shit so it doesn't up and disintergrate on you.

Living in a world where DNF has been released is just going to be somehow wrong.
