Duke Nukem Forever Took So Long Because "Sh*t Happens"

[Dorian6]

Gonna hafta call Bullshit on that.

The game has been in the works for 13 years. Something like that isn't the result of bad luck or some series of unfortunate events. Sounds more like the complete incompetence of the studio in question

 

[Lexodus]

My shit does not take 12 years.

Depends. You eat a lot of gum?

"Imagine flipping a coin 5 times and getting heads each time," he said.

It took me two attempts to get that with tails. Not that unlikely

Couldn't do it with heads, could you? Tails, pff.

 

[Quaidis]

I still don't believe it. Newsify me when it's released.

Compared to modern FPS protaganists Duke is a deep and complex character

 

[Assassin Xaero]

So, did they have to completely redo it at least twice for the past two generations of systems that have come out since they started?

I still can't understand this, 12 fucking years? do you understand that according to certain the world was made in a day, but it took about 20 people 12 years for what is probably going to be THE most mediocre game since the Wolfenstein remake.

Mark my words, This is going to be awful in comparison to whats coming.

Alright, I'm marking your words on my "People to laugh at during inevitable irony".

O.T. I'd say it was a mix of incompetence and shit happening. One of the ex-employees actually said the game never really had a project leader. Just a bunch of dudes trying to make a game that wasn't even finished in terms of what they wanted to make.

 

[Nurb]

I don't want to even look at that game when it comes out, but I agree that Duke Nukem as a character is more relevant now than 4 years ago because people are getting tired of the "THIS R SIRIUS AN DRMATIK GRIDY WOR GAEM" flood

Alright, just let me put your words on the "Inevitable irony to laugh at" list.

O.T.: I'd say it was a combo of shit happening and just plain laziness. Shit happening would be the engine saying "Fuck you" and crashing. Laziness is just that.

They should've said "It was time to make DNF after we chew bubble gum... and we had 9,234,345,567,245,789 packages of gum."
OT: Sweet. At least it's finally getting mad. Looks like fun. Glad he didn't say something stupid like "Oh, we were trying to keep up with the technology." and sound like a total idiot.

 

[Aethren]

It's ironic, now that Duke Nukem Forever is coming out, Half Life 2: Episode 3 is delayed.

I sense a conspiracy.

Nah, it's just the King of Vaporware becoming usurped by a newcomer. And I will gladly let this siege go through.

 

[Wildcard5]

I am glad to hear new news about DNF. I already have it preordered.

 

[Caradinist]

Incidentally, this is also the reason why Gran Turismo 5 isn't out yet.

 

[ReZerO]

i really hope they include a level builder just like the one in the original duke nukem 3d... i remember as a kid messing around with that thing and building some badd assed levels... could never figure out how to make the mirrors work though... if you touched one you would get crushed and die instantly.....
or my mistake where i set the speed too high on doors and they would close and crush you... too much fun.

 

[Redd the Sock]

Shit happens can only be used as a valid excuse if it can be justified. Years back I had one game delayed a month due to the comapny's headquarters getting flooded. That was shit happening. By all means, elaborate and we'll judge.

 

[Waaghpowa]

I haven't played any Duke Nukem. This game seems irrelevant, like if they came out with an HD remake of the first Crash Bandicoot.

Regardless, it's a nice change from the sea of grey and brown modern shooters. Duke is from a time where things were absurd and over the top.

You know, never thought of this before, but you might be right.
