Duke Nukem, Forever Delayed.

Here we go again lol. The video is quite funny actually.

Quote:
In a very sarcastic Gearbox Software video released today (embedded below), studio president Randy Pitchford announced Duke Nukem Forever's new release dates. The game will arrive internationally on June 10 (the day after the 2011 Electronic Entertainment Expo wraps up), and on June 14 in North America.

I don't care how long it gets delayed at this point its been forever anyway, if waiting a few more weeks means i don't have to wait months for a patch to fix things im all for it.

Well I have it pre-ordered, it gets here when it gets here. When I was watching the video I thought it was a joke, so I was laughing. But then:

Lets pray it is. I'd buy this game if it's everything it's hyped up to be.


Totally need a JC316 review on this one! I remember your Fallout review over on GPU.com

You should reallly look at the Gearbox forums: http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com...d.php?t=119037

Some people are reallying lets say 'Throwing their toys out the pram' and are apparntly Cancelling their pre-orders...... How sad is that over a 'potential' month delay. And also those whining that Internation players would get it before them, if it truely is delayed.

Chris

I used to be very enthusiastic about it back in 2001 when they showcased the new Duke with Unreal Engine 1.5 at that time. And it felt awesome. 10 years later, it's just another FPS game.

Meh, no biggie. When a games getting this close to going gold, and it gets a small delay like that, it doesn't mean much. Just means that instead of making it a month ahead, they now have an extra month to patch some stuff before going gold. It's been a long wait, a month is worth some bug fixes.
