Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
BREAKING NEWS: Duke Nukem Forever is going to be Multiplatform!

What if man, what if.
We were the ones who thought that Melissa was real. Why you might ask.
Let me put it this way, it was an "OH SHIT OH SHIT, THEY FOUND ME
Some of you have met me, and I understand your concern of my well being. But that time for that boy, that child, are gone now. Viscount Alpha is no longer operable. His functions are now mine.He may post, but I am the one talking not him.My data, my code will live on forever in his servers.

Eight years ago, they were making fun of the long development time of a game that still hasn't come out.
Well, look at it this way. By the time you finish law school, the game's probably going to be out and if Gamestop gives you any lip about it, sue them for 10 bucks.
Not that would be funny.
That's really weird for some reason.
I don't get it. Rather than just buckle down and finish what they got and get it out, they're going to add the additional resources to port it.
Am I missing something here?

Things that have taken less time than Duke Nukem Forever's Development:
The Beatles formed, released every single one of their albums and broke up. During this time they also toured the world several times.
The following things have happened since Duke Nukem Forever was announced...
Adjusted for inflation, the average price of gas in the United States has doubled.
Stephen King has written 16 novels.
NASA has launched 30 manned space shuttle missions, Russia has launched 17.
Since the announcement of Duke Nukem Forever, the single season home run record has been broken. Twice.
The national minimum wage has remained $5.15.
C'mon now, NASA launches THIRTY manned SPACE MISSIONS and they haven't released a VIDEO GAME!?
Also, regarding the minimum wage, Congress FTL.
Even if it passed tomorrow, I see this:
1) price of gas = doubled
2) minimum wage = same
So I guess I should have said poor people FTL.
When the game was announced in 1997, I was 10 years old, and didn't even have a computer in my house.
Had 2 wars
2 PA comics on DNF
3 generations of consoles
6 different windows OSes ,98,ME,2000,XP, Server 2003, Vista
12 games by 3D relms themselves 8 of those being Duke Nukem games
"oh no, this game that has cost me no money so far in any way shape or form, or hasn't offendede me, grr i'm going to be mad at it grr"
I vote the game should come with ALL different versions of it, and you have to beat your way through the 1999 development version, to get to the next updated engine and so on and so forth.

Anyway, the multiplatform news ought to add a couple years to the development time. Two years added to INFINITY.
When finally revealed as such, this joke will be legendary.
Something that has been a joke in these parts for probably as long as this forum has EXISTED.
Legendary indeed.
Also:
The 2001 trailer was awesome. And Duke Nukem still has one of the best themes ever.
Does anybody even actually have that worry? I think everybody's more worried about the exact opposite: That the thing is going to look outdated, especially to the benchmark HL2.

Nah, they've just taken so long to finish it that they've probably had to redesign it 3 or 4 times. That plus the fact that 3D Realms is only made up of like 10 people (when a modern dev team is like 50 people), kind of explains why it's taking forever.
Hell, as this thread proves, they could put shit in a box, call it Duke Nukem Forever, and people would buy it just for posterity.
I prefer my joke theory. It has more potential than DNF does of actually being released.
Clearly a vicious cycle...
I really think this thread should be titled "BREAKING NEWS: Duke Nukem Forever is going to be"
(as in exist)
Put it between two panes of glass. Don't laminate it,a s the heat would ruin it.. but just get it where it isn't exposed to light or air.
And if they don't honor it, file a claim with the BBB.

I'd predict that it'll be the most successful failure ever. It'll be good, but be honest, it won't be the magical "Best game of ALL TIME" it has to be to justify the time taken. Sales will be average. The people here who know the history will finally throw up their arms in celebration that it finally came out. Everybody else will look at on the shelf, shrug, and keep walking.
In my humble opinion... they shouldn't release it. If they don't, it lives forever, as one of the greatest video game legends of all time. They do release it... it's completely forgotten in 6 months. Like an old hobo in the street, it dies alone.
Just my opinion though. For all we know it could also totally change the face of gaming forever. 40 years from now people look back at the history of video gaming, and it's "Before DNF" and "After DNF".

That's what I said in the last DNF thread.
It will actually be five different games, which all tell a single story.
So, sadly, probably not.
Win.
That would actually be ridicolously awesome game.
10 years from now - opening DNF retail box.
"What the hell is that smell?"
I am a freaking nerd.
Yeah, but they didn't tell us every six to twelve months that it would be out real soon.

I'm pretty sure they dropped development on it, and then brought it back. Rather than constant 10 years of work.
This is truth.
(did somebody beat me to it?)
