It's official... Duke is dead

 :shocked2:

3D Realms is done, stick a fork in it.  The site (http://www.3drealms.com) is not even responding any more.  Duke Nukem Forever is terminated.

Hope you didn't pre-pay.

Turns out that Take Two has all the rights to DNF and has not decided what to do with it.  It's possible we may yet see DNF hit the shelves.   Not!

I heard about that. So, who is going to buy it if Gearbox Software can put an end to the curse?

They had a demo at PAX which you can read here.

Looks interesting but I wonder if that was a demo from when it was at 3D Realms that Gearbox Software finished or if its a brand new one. I know they stated that a lot of the work was done for the game which was mainly the assets to make it and that they where going to use most of it.

I might just because I have waited for so long.  But then again, I may want the demo first.

They wanted to make it really special before release by delaying it one last time!

I'm sooo trying not to be excited about this. As you all know this game has been, well for lack of better wordage a big ol' tease. I am infact very excited and can't wait for it to come out. I'm glad that gearbox took this project over. They're the perfect team for this kind of game, beings that they're completely twisted in the head and all.  By the way How's everyone? It's been a minute since I've been around. Super busy with life. I miss the good old days of running around COD2 Blastin' and laughing.  Any who, not to take this off topic, All I can say is; I so want this to happen. I know it will, but I'm not going to let them break my heart again...yes I will...crap...

Thought I'd share this teaser

Just a warning, it is mature.

Even by my standards, and that's pretty darn low, the game is vulgar.   :puke:    The game play is stuck in the mid 90s and the content is lacking to say the least.   You would expect this kind of game format on a Nintendo, not a modern PC game.  Oh, let's just keep running down set paths and see if we can click the action button fast enough to get away from an enemy.  What a monsterous waste of money.   :swear:

OK....finished the first person part of the game and my opinion is just as bad as in my other posts.  There is little if any original content to this game.  Makes me sick that I wasted my money on this.  Maybe multiplayer will be better.

Sooo, I was fine not to by it?  So sad that such a fine series had to die in a flaming pool of poo.

Granted it took 12 years for it to finally hit the group with a horrendous *thwup*.

That's what it sounds like. Its gotten so bad for the PR department that they had something interesting to say to the reviewers.
