If anyone still thinks this game is vapor ware check this out a REAL trailer in the NOW to date graphics. You need a good video card to see it in the full version but theres a crappy version there.

This statement is posted from an employee of Left Behind Games on behalf of Troy Lyndon, our Chief Executive Officer.

There has been in incredible amount of MISINFORMATION published in the media and in online blogs here and elsewhere.

Pacifist Christians and other groups are taking the game material out of context to support their own causes. There is NO "killing in the name of God" and NO "convert or die". There are NO "negative portrayals of Muslims" and there are NO "points for killing".

Please play the game demo for yourself (to at least level 5 of 40) to get an accurate perspective, or listen to what CREDIBLE unbiased experts are saying after reviewing the game at www.leftbehindgames.com/pages/controversy.htm

Then, we'd love to hear your feedback as an informed player.

The reality is that we're receiving reports everyday of how this game is positively affecting lives by all who play it.

Thank you for taking the time to be a responsible blogger.

He'll need a zimmer frame by the time 3dRealms finish the game

If a game has been in development for a decade, do you buy it?

Rare was developing Kameo for a damn while too -- through two full console cycles, I believe -- and it turned out to be the only good Rare game since Conker (N64 version). It would appear that no matter how much a developer sucks, if they spend a decade or so on a game, it's automatically good.

If a game has been in development for a decade, do you buy it? what if it ends up sucking? do you buy it anyway simply because you've waited ten years for it and you want a piece of gaming history/legend? are the expectations higher for a game that's been in development for ten years Vs normal games? and more importantly, how much does it cost to keep a game in development for ten years? there are just so many questions, the most important being: why?

What was that game that came out a while ago where you control the character using a microphone? I believe that technically is a second-person game. I recall it technically sucks, too.

You mean "Hey You, Pikachu"? :D

It only recognized a handful of commands, but the N64 microphone add-on was neato.

Well spoken. Although I agree with you on an intellectual level, I don't think DNF's effects are that profound =P. It's really just a huge target for jokes, it's easy to take cheap shots at the guy that's already on the ground. Like Daikatana/Romero.

aestheticity — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 07:57:50 MST

DNF. It's a legend in gaming. I think the continued hovering of DNF in the recesses of every halfway informed gamers consciousness is key to the growth of our culture, a lesson in marketing hubris and industry morality that gives us all an example to point toward of so many things - failure to deliver, the value of modesty, the changing of the seasons, the impermanence of the status quo. Perhaps in a couple thousand years, when our society is properly established and we have no need of such archaic and ridiculous superstitions, then they can release it.

George Broussard from 3d Realms is confirming that it is a live ingame shot on there official message boards.

"I guess I'll reconfirm what I said last night. That's an in game, real-time shot of Duke standing in a random hallway. It was really done as a small teaser for a job ad on Gamasutra.com. Nothing more.

I'm glad some of you enjoyed it, and we'll show more later as we start to wake from our slumber and decide how best to show the game off."

Fingers are clearly visible.

The guns are different, the hands in the screenshot have gloves, and most noticeably the bandolier straps and the "shirt" straps overlap in the screenshot, but don't on the action figure. Not even remotely the same thing.

It's a screenshot, but of what, we don't know. Could be a concept render, could be in-game, could be a cinematic. Who knows? But it's definitely not that action figure.

DNF will eventually ship the same way the Colts left Baltimore: in the middle of the night in trucks that drove away with their lights off to establish a new history of mediocrity. My prediction: lots of 7/10s from the various sites with the 7 to 10 rating scale with comments like "this took 10+ years?"

Kenofthedead — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 23:12:10 MST

I'm of the mind that says Duke Nukem Forever should never actualy be completed and released nor ever cancled.

I want the end of the Earth to have two things still going strong on it, cockroaches (or it's future evolutions) and Duke Nukem Forever still "to be released".

Who needs 42 when you have DNF?

Friends in the industry have told me that DNF is in production, but it just goes rather slowly. After Prey and soon STALKER, I personally think DNF will show up at some point. Though, if it were up to me, matching the ten year anniversary would have seemed like a solid goal.

You gotta love the humor of those guys at 3D Realms, I swear... they know full well what people have been saying about DNF all this time and they're just messing with us.

I still love Scott Miller's quote from Wired's 2006 Vaporware awards: "Thanks to the overwhelming success of Prey (our latest IP, and another game that took 10 years to release), we have been afforded another five relaxing years on the making of DNF."
