Right, it'll suck just as hard as Max Payne and Prey did. Relax, assuming that it does ever come out, it'll be ok. Probably not earth-shattering nor incredibly groundbreaking, but it'll be fine. Overhyped and suck hard? Nah, that title's already been taken by Daikatana.Dante_Alucard said:
Personally, I do hope that DNF never sees the light of day. I prefer for it to remain in the realm of intangibility, together with GN'R's "Chinese Democracy"; Lord knows I've been waiting for both of them for over a decade and it's been fun.
I was attempting to make a point that there have been games with extreme development times before that ended up being quite good (and both had been initially developed by 3DRealms nonetheless). Unless of course you think those games did suck hard...Thisusernameisjustanotherwasteofspace said:
Indeed. You can't fault a game for being old.end_boss said:
As for DNF, as long as it keeps the fast-paced shoot-the-crap-out-of-everything gameplay and has interesting weapons, I'll enjoy it, regardless of how long it took.
No game is worth 10 years of development. Duke Nukem forever, even if they accompany the game with a 'real duke nukem prostitute', will be the subject of mockery and scorn the second it's released. No way they can make a game that'll make people go "well, I can see where those years went".
Sorry but PREY did not suck. I just have to add that and I don't know why everyone slates it. Yea it did take a lot from Q4 and Doom 3 but it also had good level design, portals, interesting walkways, variable gravity and vehicle section that worked. The only problem is that it was overlooked as it came out at the wrong time.
As for DNF....as long as they keep the essentials of what Duke Nukem was about then it will be ok. Can't seeing it blowing anyone away, but it will be fun.

I wish I had too but like watching a car crash in slow motion I just couldn't turn away. Max Payne is an awesome game, hell it invented bullet time and brought noir to gaming, if you are going to make a statement like that at least explain why you hated it? Prey was pretty good too, not as good as I hoped it would be but certainly not bad, not like 'Plumbers don't wear ties' bad.Thisusernameisjustanotherwasteofspace said:
And I loved Duke 3D, holoduke, jet packs, pipe bombs and laser tripmines meant you could set up some fantastic traps in multiplayer and single player was funny as hell, if you weren?t laughing then you had to be some kind of a bottom feeding, scum sucking algae eater.
Arrrghhhh...are you people blind? That sentence was bleeding and oozing sarcasm! Don't just drag it and flog it out of context. My point was exactly that BOTH Max Payne AND Prey were EXCELLENT games, despite their protracted development time. BOTH have also been developed with the involvement of 3DRealms. Ergo, now, therefore, DNF will probably be a good game as well (assuming that it will ever be released). It will, most likely, not live up to the hype (in reality nothing ever really does, we have insatiable expectations), but if Max Payne and Prey are anything to go by, it will be a proper, well-designed, enjoyable game.Drong said:
Are we clear and on the same page now? Ok, thank you...
*goes off to munch on chill pills*
If I were 3D Realms, I would really just scrap the whole idea of making that game, cause I think almost no matter what the quality of it is when/if it gets released, it will just remain a big joke in most peoples eyes.. The ship has really sailed for DNF imo..
I would just like to point out in other circles DNF - Did Not Finish (racing) (via http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/DNF).
The game was cursed from the beginning.
At one point I would have liked to see the game, but even if the graphics are amazing I think it's missed it's window.
