April fools???

[Ronald McDonald]

P.S. Keep your eyes open for the unveiling of our next game very soon.

Is this for real???

[Parkar]

My guess is that its the game that was suposed to be announced last year. Only thing known about it is that its a third party developer and that 3Drealms are producing it much like with max payne.

My guess is that it will be announced at E3, but who knows. Maybe not a god idea either becasue there's alolt of new stuff going to be revealed at E3 this year
Bur one could only hope

[FireFly]

Even if it not DNF it's still from 3DR, and that's what matters.

Indeed! But what if it IS DNF?

For all we know they could be starting to build Hype sometime "soon"

But that's maybe a bit too much to hope for

[JackpotDen]

It's gotta be them going to E3. This year isnt the year, its going to be on duke's 10th anniversary, unless things screw up. It's the start. I feel it, a seed from the force.

[Ronald McDonald]

Maybe it's Prey

[Claws]

It's April's Fools, they're just teasing you.

Agreed!

Can't wait for that announcement

[Yenz]

They released the Shadow Warrior source code today, so that's not so bad
Now I want to be able to play it on my xbox.

[Spyd]

I can't believe it. I did a search in this thread and I didn't find the word "sign". Maybe lack of Kaiser?

Thing is....and I've feared....what if they haven't "got it" anymore? No disrespect...but it has been some time since I've seen their label on someting that wasn't just published by them.

I feel like I'm about to be trampled by a stampede of Duke fans....just remember I still play Duke3d as well!

I got your sign right here buddy

JackpotDen said:

When? He said that they had the engine etc complete, its just content production now.they had at [u]least</u> 2004, and the first 3 months of 2005. 9 moths alltogether. POP SOT took about 1 and a half years. The matrix game (Enter) was about 1 year. Games usually take about a year of production. If george wants 6 months pre release hype, it will begin around about June. till then they would have had approx 2 years of production, with about 6 months for removal of bugs. June, its gna be then. Mark my words.

IT WILL COME!!!

"P.S. Keep your eyes open for the unveiling of our next game very soon. "

...probably Shadow Warrior Mobile...in other words, who cares anymore, DUKE IS DEAD. DNF's only purpose in life anymore is to be the subject of April Fool's Day jokes.

What is "it" anyway? That's the question.

*raises finger to his mouth*
The right stuff. The labido....what the french call a certain.....I don't know what...

[KaiserSoze]

it could still be dnf being "unveiled".

remember, we have no clue what it looks like, nor have many details of the game at all.

for them to show it off would indeed be an "unveiling".

/crosses fingers

[Acid]

^ yeah unveil that DUke

[lonestar]

it's dnf or else not a game developed by 3drealms because george said, they're all working on dnf. so, it's some third-party support by 3dr. for a game which will be sweet, because 3drealms is involved.

dnf.. no.. actually.. no. it sounds too unbelievable!

[Mr.DJ]

Come on guys, don't build something up around something you know(deep inside)won't happen!

But I think we should be excited about the aspect that "something" which 3drealms has given its "blessing", is going to be unveiled!

Perhaps something is up with Human he*cough* who said that? Don't know were that came from!

[Evil Angel]

I'm betting this is a mobile game or something like that. It's a cruel and horrible joke I tells ya.

[KaiserSoze]

it's dnf.

i'll eat my undewear if it isn't.

Do you have a camera?

I demand evidience in the form of a picture if its not

edit: thinking about it you chose the right day to use that one and get away without having to eat your "words"

Seriously?

[DK2000]

Couldn't it also mean the release of an other Source Code?!?
If it would be that, what game would be left that's "old enough" to release its Source Code? Max Payne?!?

Still I WANT TO BELIVE that it is Duke Nukem Forever even though it's 1.April and we were talking about 3DR who already released "Duke Nukem Forever - The fanvideo" if you remember... - but somehow i can't!

[Evil Angel]

Whatever it is I bet the 3DR guys are enjoying watching us squirm. Damn you!

[SyntaxN]

I hope it is DNF, but I think 3dr´s definition for "very soon" is "between 1 week and 9 years"

[Duoae]

From reading that and considering it was reported in the same new post as the shadow Warrior source code release.... it made me think that they are releasing another Shadow Warrior game.... don't know if anyone has said that (excluding SW mobile.... )

[Emultra]

Shadow Warrior 2: Dark Places.

[Duoae]

Nah, too similar in title to Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 (or Dark forces 2: Jedi Knight)...

Needs to be catchier... i never played SW, so i have no idea as to what the game was like....

[Emultra]

It was a little weird, but cool.

Shadow Warrior 2: Yo Dang, Lo Wang!!

[Parkar]

Just to make one thing clear its not an sw game. Its been state several times that there will most likely NEVER be another sw game.

Stated that there will most likely never be another SW game.... When was the last time they said that? Two years ago? A year and a half? Before the development of this new game?

[EDIT]

It might just be based in the SW universe

Besides - i'm not sure whether it would be DNF or the as-yet unreleased New IP they have....... too early in development i feel..... unless they've been working flat-out on both since 2000 -ish...

Maybe 3DR have 3 games to release..... now that's interesting....

[Parkar]

Less then a month ago.

Edit:
3 days ago by joe3dr in the cool ida for sw fans thread.

Why does everyone assume that everything has to have a sequel? When I see posts like "I don't understand why" all I can think of is "Well, what makes you assume a sequel is desired or necessary"?

Not everything gets one, you know.

What's more disappointing to me is that the couple of addons that were planned were scrapped.

Not realy a statment, still looking for that.

edit2:

here is the one I meant. its about 2 weeks old from the "after dnf" thread in other apogee forum.

Joe3DR said:
I actually have never deleted ANY threads due to age in this forum. Look at the oldest posts, they go back to 1998. Because this forum covers so many older titles that there's little info on anymore, I decided to never purge this particular forum.

But I think it's safe to say we'll never do another Shadow Warrior. Yeah, I know you'll say "maybe, who knows". But I work here. My gut feeling says no.

[trackit]

I hate to bring it to you guys but i think this is some kind of a joke...
I dont think that they will unveil some new game... cause they said all the team is working on DNF... And its too unbelivable that it is DNF... and today is 1-st april...
...and of course "soon" is very relative term...

[KaiserSoze]

FireFly said:

absolutely seriously. i'll post pictures too.

3D Realms didn't publish Max Payne at all, Take 2 / Rockstar where the publishers.

3D Realms where much more creatively involveld than any publisher at all, they gave Remedy creative input, business advice, helped market the game, sell it, funded it, etc.

Well this is either a genuine April fool, a very clever April fools bluff to keep us all second guessing or something about a different game to DNF.

Place your bets!!

[ikkejw]

If it's DNF, I think I'm gonna be sick.
