Well, who couldn't see this one coming a mile away?

Hey folks, a confusingly worded quip in the June-issue next-month box made it sound to some that we had a Duke story planned for July, but we don't, nor did we intended for people to think we did. We meant for the lines "Is Duke Nuken Forever finally being released? Hey it could happen" to be received in the same way that a sentence like, "Yeah, and maybe Jimmy Hoffa will have a column in next month's issue" might be. Though we do have a sexy-as-hell exclusive cover story planned for next month's issue of PC Gamer, Duke ain't it. Sorry for the confusion.

Why bother writing about this game at all?

#1.1 LOC on 20 Apr 2007 - 23:44

Because, while you and many others could careless about the game anymore (at least, I assume you don't) many more do care about the game, and any news on it gets posted. Besides, it is news, regardless of the outcome. True PC Gamer probably did it on purpose to spur some mag sales (maybe) but still, any DNF news is news news. Sorta.

Exactly LOC.. games nowadays lack the certain Attitude Duke brought to the genre.

Ah, it'll prob be here in time for DirectX 11. You know. It takes time to rewrite everything to take advantage of the new ultra realistic engine.

#2.1 InsaneNutter on 21 Apr 2007 - 10:06

Im thinking more like Direct X 12, they need to take there time you know

Duke was good back in the days but every news which comes out about the game is false. I mean it's been 10 years since they said it be out. Every year some news comes out and nevers ends up being true.

WOW This is shocking. I honestly thought it was going to appear in PC gamer.

You know the game has been built up so much now that even if it was some HL2 beating amazing extravaganza or something, people would still be disappointed in it.

#10.1 +Smigit on 22 Apr 2007 - 13:58

you reckon? I'd say that in many ways people would have quite low expectations of it. Looking at the post above is enough to indicate that.

#11 mko on 23 Apr 2007 - 13:57

well DNF was announced before TF2 and STALKER, and STALKER came out first and probably followed by TF2 soon, so its only natural for DNF to come out last.

All I want is a game with the Duke3d's weapons and I will be happy.... holoduke+pipebombs+laser trip bomb... man def had the best time playing Duke on the TeN network....
