Duke Nukem Forever "An Industry Joke"

DNFIt's easy to take potshots at the long in development Duke Nukem Forever. But when 3D Realms' Scott Miller is actually humble and acknowledges that we're really start to not give a shit about DNF and that we're mostly enjoying it not actually shipping every year.

They ask Miller in a recent interview:

It's been nearly 5 years since the last Duke game on a PC was released and although it was critically accepted, it was perhaps not the Duke game many fans were expecting; is it not a case that Duke's time is now long gone?

First, we fully admit we're screwed up the development of DNF, and it's now an industry joke. I laugh (and cry) when I think about it, too. Our fault is that we set the bar too high, and we tried too hard to make the game to beat all games. In the last 18 months we've taken a much more realistic look at the project, we've hired a truckload of experienced help, and I personally believe we are now on the right track...finally.

Finally. Finally! We look forward to this new realistic look at the project. Really!
