To George and the Rest of the DNF Team
Gee wilikers does it ever seem fashionable to poo-poo on the Duke Nukem Forever team. Ever since the liquidation of 3dRealms all I've heard is people bitch and complain about how George Broussard and the rest had wasted twelve years of us fans' lives and millions of dollars of Take Two Interactive's funding. Everyone wants to crucify George and the gang. I've watched even the most loyal fans express dissatisfaction with their conduct. I've watched the hope of people who have waited the full twelve years dry up like leaves as they erupt into maniacal rants eviscerating the developers.
But I've waited the full twelve years as well, people. And for all their shortcomings, for all the delays, for all the money spent, for all the hours logged waiting, speculating, pining, I still feel the cozy glow of genuine good will and dedication emanating from these poor bastards. Why is it that we seek to verbally assassinate these guys? Sure, we'd gotten our hopes up and been let down. Sure, the game has cost millions, and will cost millions more. Sure, the game could have come out a million times over. But would any of us really, truly be satisfied with a product George and the gang themselves were not satisfied with? Would any of us really, truly be satisfied with a product we know could have been better just because we couldn't find something better to occupy our time with for twelve years? It's true, they were not always forthcoming with the nature of the development. But how the hell could they have known they were walking into a labyrinth of dead ends and lackluster results? These guys intended, above all, to create something solid. Something truly magical, and I say that fully aware of its idealist implications. Our subjective interpretation as to whether it was worth the twelve year wait or whether or not the hype was overplayed is utterly irrelevant if, after twelve years of whining and bitching and personal attacks on these guys, they did accomplish something cut. Could we not appreciate something so well caressed and cared for by George and the gang just because of the wait? Can we not ****ing appreciate these guys for just ****ing trying? They've spent millions of their own damn money on this thing, people! They made no promises that this would be quick or easy. They have no obligations to us except one: deliver. No when. No how. I support you, George. I support the entire team, the diaspora of 3dRealms. I imagine you still intend to complete this game and are uncertain as to whether or not you will be able to. I hope things turn out well, in part for myself (been waiting twelve years, yanno ![]() O.o You still have one fan's unconditional understanding and support ![]()

Re: To George and the Rest of the DNF Team
I seriously cant tell if this guy is joking around or he is actually in love with George? Some people take being a fanboy to whole new levels of creepiness.
Also, have a seat.

Re: To George and the Rest of the DNF Team
a new user which is positive about all this drama?? It must be George him self using fake account
![]() ![]() you know if dukes get's released. I think most of us will be dissapointed. Not by a game, but by the fact, that it is out, you don't have to wait it anymore. I mean. The rescent 12 years I had a dream, I had to live what for. I go to shacknews and read funny comments, read jokes about duke and so on. And once it's out, all fun is gone..

Re: To George and the Rest of the DNF Team
What a load of claptrap.All that rubish about trying to create something really special.They are or were just a team of developers who were producing a game just like the Quake team, Halflife team and others. Them main difference is that they evidently wern't that good and got bogged down.To make things worse their PR team (I'll give then the benefit of the doubt) were no better and alienated many fans.
Oh, and if you take 12 year and still don't complete the job don't be suprised if platforms change and you have to recode endlessly.Cutting edge 12 years ago 9 years ago or two years ago is not cutting edge now.Imagine a car manufacturer taking twelve years plus to produce a car from drawing board to showroom.It would be obsolete before it left the factory, or drawing board in 3DR's case. Credit for Duke 3d, great game, an awful long time ago.Since then they have been a joke and what happend to them should be no suprise to anyone. Good riddance more than goodbye I think. ![]()

I have made the occasional analogy to DNF when things would seem to take a long time, but deep down I always had hope.

Re: To George and the Rest of the DNF Team
Some of the Duke Nukem Forever team may well be already back on the job working on the game, they just haven't announced it.

No, they are not according to Wieder. Many of the key developers have found a job while others are still looking for and they very affected with what happened

Re: To George and the Rest of the DNF Team
Sorry, I didn't bother reading the whole post, yet alone this thread, but:
Every fan chose to do so themselves. Noone forced you. You did it on your own terms. And if you forgot about everything else there was (like games and stuff yet alone life itself) - your fault. Wrong. According to what we've officially gathered so far. Only $2.5m. And that so far seems to have been tied to another Duke game.

Re: To George and the Rest of the DNF Team
2.5 million is multiple, therefore plural. Hence the use of the word "millions".
And those two bits you quoted from me are actually used as an attempt to discredit them. I'm on your side. |

There's only so many mistakes a team can make on a game that's been in development for twelve years. The rest, I think I can safely assume, could be that they were simply unsatisfied with what they were doing. Quote:

If they can't help but develop content that they're not satisfied with, doesn't that just mean that they suck? That's not my position, at all. I'm just trying to work yours out!

Re: To George and the Rest of the DNF Team
Let's have some perspective here for a moment.
We wouldn't be talking about this whole mess right now if 3dr had finished the game in a timely manner years ago. They have inevitably brought this upon themselves. That's the short version anyways. I'm still here hanging out. I'm still bummed, my kids are bummed and in the grand scheme of things this is probably something I shouldn't give 2 shits about. However, I've always believed George and 3dr could pull the game off. Now, I'm not so sure. No one is above criticism and let's face it, 3dr and George have already admitted this. "Too ambitious, trying too hard" etc, etc. Those are admirable traits and one of the reasons I've followed the game up to this point. It's also a huge reason the game is not out yet. Take 2 wasn't in charge of the development of DNF. They didn't order engine changes and numerous restarts. They pretty much sat by all those same years we did and wondered wtf George was doing with the game. Yes, a luxury George had being able to say they didn't have to answer to anyone about "deadlines" and such. I'd argue this also came back to bite them in the rear. I hope this can all get worked out and that George does intend to get the game finished. I don't think Take 2 will win the case but I see nothing that would convince me George would then somehow finish the game should he win. If you win George, we still want the game!!!! Our best bet is probably George and Take 2 settling this mess out of court and reconciling. In the end, I should probably be like Dognose and "just let it go"................... XXX000 -Kaiser |

Beyond the oddness of using baby in place of game, well written, I agree with your impression of duke fans, its sad how easily they turned.
