<div class="IPBDescription">Released this year?</div> Apparently Rockstar Games is gearing up for a christmass 2004 release of DNF. Can we belive them?
I don't think the game will be any good by now <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Anyone, and I mean anyone at all, that is still waiting for this thing and hasn't decided to play Painkiller or something instead for their shootemup fix, has problems.
Bleh. What's worth waiting for, anyway? Play something good that's already out <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Wait, so we're acctually suppose to believe that this is the real release date? We're acctually suppose to expect it out by X-mas time THIS year? Some flying pigs stopped by my house and told me about a cold day in hell...

Consider: Rockstar has been getting some serious flak from the mass media over their last several releases, despite being hailed by critics and gamers alike. They don't want to compromise what they do (ie: making badass games). Solution? Work on venerable franchise like Duke Nukem, a game with attitude, cursing and huge amounts of violence, which has been around before anyone had ever heard of Rockstar, while at the same time avoiding negative publicity simply because they'll never actually have to <i>release</i> the game. Brilliant in a sick way, to be honest. How can you be sued for a game which never sees the light of day?
Anybody have a link with some "up to date" screen shots. This game better have great graphics, physics, gameplay and AI for the amount of time its been in development.

Rockstar Games are the <i>publisher</i>. 3D Realms are the <i>developer</i>. Capice? Rockstar have absolutely nothing to do with when the game's finished, they just handle production of material and promotion once the game is good to go.
Personally I believe that, although they've ironically taken near forever to do it, DNF <b>will</b> one day grace out shores. I don't really care when, cause there's so many other games that take my fancy, but when it does I'll be buying it, and the Dukester will deliver.
hmmm, I can't see any mention of 3D realms being involved with rockstar in any way on the rockstar website, that being said, they arn't mention the games they are currently producing either.

I seriously laughed hard.
Oh wait, Rockstar games is being serious. I'll laugh even harder.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Whenever it is out, i'll buy it, but i won't go around believing release dates, given DNF's history.
5 years or so, before the release of half life anyways.
Nah, you'd just pass out and start breathing again.

It got up to 2004, 2005, 2012,2104, 2222, and then to simply N/A.
It seems perfectly logical if you think about it...

A delayed game is eventually good. A bad game is bad forever.
/me points at Daikatana <Almost as much vapor ware as DNF, eventualy came out, sucked something hard.
personaly, I for see it going the rout of daikatana.
Unless Rockstar has ACTUALY picked it up (I doubt this) and is compleatly re doing the game (aka, makeing a new game and calling it DNF)
/me goes and does some google action

It has become computer gaming lore now.
It will just feel like losing this inexplicable 'thing'.
