Duke Nukem Forever Comments by Rob Fahey

After seeing the footage just now of the game on the Doom 3 engine...The Humor still intact...The basic "Shoot everything in sight without iron sights or realistic stuff" has never looked so damn fun.

Looked like an awesome game, Take 2 have made a huge mistake not funding them...Thanks Take 2...
3D Realms may never sort stuff out...In fact I know they won't...But hopefully we'll see leaked game demos and what not and we can just fill in the games to create the full game.
I have no doubt that the talented D3 modders out there could whack the parts together and create a game (depending on how much was left to finish)

Pity though...I would have been at my local gameshop at midnight for this game (even if there wasn't a midnight opening) I was looking forward to this more than I had been GTAIV (which was a let down) and Metal Gear Solid 4 (Which was a bigger let down)

***Edit***

Just remembered that it was rumor that it ran on the D3 engine...Was it true?...Who knows...Or cares anymore...

WTF are you on? Did they not fund them for most of the twelve years in which 3D Realms produced NO GAME while other teams made ground-breaking and excellent shooters like Half-Life, Far Cry, Halo series etc.? Other studios were making MULTIPLE triple-A titles in the time these guys burned money producing NO GAME. They obviously SUCKED and there is a limit to how long someone bothers funding something that never comes. Twelve years - heck even a 1-man team can make a decent shooter in that time, and that includes learning 3DS Max, programming and the intricacies of an engine from scratch.

The Iron Duke will never die.

DNF - Did Not Finish.

Fortune favours the brave. Any smart developers at 3DR will have realised that this was going nowhere and jumped ship long before it finally sank.

Darwin Awards all round to those who were still left when it went under.

Surely that's the point isn't it? How much was left to finish. If you've sunk 12 years' of funding into a game, you don't drop it lightly - you want some return on your investment. For this to be dropped, I'd reckon the game was probably only about 10-25% complete. Think about it - all we've actually seen is leaked footage of a few character animations, a couple of levels and a boss fight.
