Still anticipating DNF?

Thewho · 01-05-2009, 06:14 PM

I mean, this being the 3drealms forum and all. Did your interest pique with the new screenshots and trailers?

p.s. I intended this to go in other gaming discussions.

alexgk · 01-05-2009, 07:04 PM

Yeap, I'm waiting eagerly for DNF to be released

Damien_Azreal · 01-05-2009, 07:15 PM

I still have faith 3DR will deliver an amazing experience. DNF will come.

Ramen4ever · 01-05-2009, 07:18 PM

Sooner or later. I doubt 3dr invested time and money just to not release something.

Echo Black · 01-05-2009, 07:38 PM

I'm excited about what it could end up being, but I can't say I anticipate it or even think of it often. Though whenever there's new media or hype or whatever, I'm there. I think this way of "waiting" is the best for your sanity.

Marty Chang · 01-05-2009, 07:47 PM

Not "anticipating" it, but when it comes out I'm picking it up.

Why?

And yes.

Mountain Man · 01-05-2009, 07:53 PM

I'm a bit "meh" about it. Have been for a while actually. It's a hard to stay excited about something that's been in development for over a decade. That's not to say that I'm not curious to see what 3DR has been up to all this time.

Jinroh · 01-05-2009, 08:04 PM

Still Anxiously Awaiting for DNF. Wish I had my old '9? PC Gamer or CGW that had DNF in it.

To be honest, I've lost interest. The latest screenshot is pretty cool but I didn't get excited over it like I would have maybe a year ago. I'm more curious just like Mountain man. If it comes out, cool. If it doesn't, don't really care

avatar_58 · 01-05-2009, 08:14 PM

Of course, why not? Am I waiting biting my fingernails? Nope, never was really. However when it comes out I'll be there day one cash in hand (or debit.....or CC over steam, whatever)

"New"? The last trailer was from December 2007 and the last screenshots were from this past September. I was really pumped when I first saw the trailer, however.

Simon Charles · 01-05-2009, 08:17 PM

I lost interest.

Phait · 01-05-2009, 08:18 PM

Interest has been re-piqued but not holding my breath.

peoplessi · 01-05-2009, 08:20 PM

Interested when it finally comes out, but not expecting anything anymore. There was a time when I did anxiously wait for the game, around 2001, but not anymore.

mysteryperfecta · 01-05-2009, 09:59 PM

Its sad to see that the interest of some of the forum's "Old Guard" has waned, but you can count me among them. It looks like 3dr is going to have to win some old fans back, along with winning new fans.

dognose · 01-05-2009, 10:24 PM

Interest has never waned!

Like the man himself once said.

Always bet on Duke!

Duke is the only game I "look forwad to." The only exceptions were Half Life 2 and Dead Space.

Dutch · 01-06-2009, 01:49 AM

I'm fairly jaded and cynical about getting the latest computer game for some escapism, but I'm still curious about Dnf. I'll have to check it out just for old times sake.

Vinsane · 01-06-2009, 02:13 AM

I'm still happy playing the Duke Nukem I've had forever! 3D! And with Duke Plus, new maps and stuff, it's hard to get tired of. And it plays very well on my P4, so I'm content for the time being....

ZaphodB · 01-06-2009, 02:26 AM

Yes, plain and simple. And I will be until it's released. Hopefully before I got senile

Nihilanth · 01-06-2009, 02:52 AM

Since getting my internet connection and finding out that DNF is not dead (around half a year before I registered) as some sources (magazines) reported I'm still here and patiently waiting.

X-Vector · 01-06-2009, 03:56 AM

Depends what you mean by anticipating.

My interest isn't even close to what it was circa 1998-2002, it's mainly curiosity now.
As for the 'recent' media, it actually makes me look forward to DNF less rather than more.
Not only do I dislike the current visual style in general (as seen in lots of post-Doom III games), but I also think it is unsuitable for DNF in particular.

There is still the faintest glimmer of hope in the back of my mind, but I'm 99% convinced that however the game turns out, it will be too little far too late for me.

marioman360 · 01-06-2009, 04:51 AM

Of course I'm anticipating DNF, if i wasn't i wouldn't be here!

a quote from the 1999 new years card:
"And I heard him exclaim saying 'Never say never
A good Year's to come with Duke Nukem Forever!'"

KO Gilligan · 01-06-2009, 06:10 AM

I've been on pins and needles for months now.... maybe I'm unreasonably optimistic, but I never felt so certain about it actually coming soon.

The other thing is 3DRealms is not like some big Activendilizzard type of operation that may actually dump their Brands for some new puzzle game or a line of fitness software or something... For whatever it's worth, I tend to think owners and managers should be close with their products.

ReadOnly · 01-06-2009, 06:36 AM

Yes, still anticipating.

crunchy superman · 01-06-2009, 06:44 AM

It'll come eventually, and I'll certainly buy it, but I no longer think it will be all it could have been. So much time and so many other games have passed that there's not much left in the gaming world to "wow" me anymore. Duke could have done that five years ago, but I'm afraid now that whenever he does return, the character will feel a little bit long in the tooth and the game will have a bit of a "too little, too late" feel to it.

Love to be wrong, though.

The Count · 01-06-2009, 06:57 AM

Scott Miller said they were pushing for late 2008 but would probably miss that "by a couple of months". That's why I didn`t expect anything so far.
But if it doesn't come out this year they will lose a lot of credibility, period.

As I don't believe they are willing to screw up again I'm still curious - but I'm not really hyped about it anymore, too late for that. The screenshot was fair, nothing more.

Foreplays aren't meant to last a lifetime

prowler45 · 01-06-2009, 07:29 AM

I love Duke. I still play Duke 3d and DNMP quite regularly. I have a feeling this year may be the year like some others have felt, but it's also too little too late. With so many other amazing games that have come out with stunning visuals, memorable characters, and great gameplay the main thing that may still set this game apart is Duke himself even if it takes another decade for this thing to come out.

Don't worry though. Until then, who needs to release new content when you still make tons on old stuff? I think a Playstation network port of Duke 3D will be in the future.

Grande 3:16 · 01-06-2009, 08:03 AM

When/if it comes out, I'll snap it up. But as others have said, nowhere near as excited as 1997-2001.

Hell, when DNF was announced I was a teenager... I'm in my 30's now!

I'm confident that DNF will be released at some point, I'm holding low expectations, but I'm sure it will be a decent game.

Everything else is a bonus!

Ravey · 01-06-2009, 10:09 AM

Sure, I don't see why not.

Duke Nukem is still pretty much the top dog as far as i'm concerned.

RedSplat · 01-06-2009, 10:24 AM

Shipping it, would spoil the myth that is DNF.
Unless! They announce AND delay DN5, immediately after DNF goes gold. \o/

Tea Monster · 01-06-2009, 10:40 AM

I wish we'd had something else in between. I wish they had released one of the multiple versions they produced inbetween 1996 and today. There has been 4 extra incarnations of Doom and 4 versions of quake. We're even on our 2nd HL2 expansion pack fer gawdsake.

As Grande 3:16 said,we have all progressed to a completely different phase of our lives while waiting for this game to come out.

From the time DNF started to now we've had

Duke Nukem Time To Kill(1998)
Duke Nukem Land of the Babes(2001?)
Duke Nukem Zero Hour(1999)
Duke Nukem GBC (1999)
Duke Nukem Manhattan Project(2002)
Duke Nukem Mobile Series (various)
Duke Nukem XBLA (2008)

There have been quite a few games released. Sure it's been a little thin the last few years, but come on. It's not like the Duke franchise hasnt had tons of games.

JobivanHiob · 01-06-2009, 11:24 AM

as Kaiser said...more than ever.

Altered Reality · 01-06-2009, 11:51 AM

Since this was intended for the other gaming section: No, right now I'm not anticipating DNF. I'm hyped up for Ghostbusters, though.
