I never said he did. However he still does have the power to lock threads here. Care to argue with that one? My original post was just saying that he wouldn't send a message to Damien to lock a thread when he can just do it himself. Get that through your thick skull!

As Sang said, Joe doesn't work for 3DRealms anymore. When he left 3DR he left all his "powers" for the forums behind. He's a regular user like you guys now.

What part of "The forums are community run" is hard to understand?

My god what if its cel shaded like borderlands! NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I`m sure it will be fine though.

Relax Two things could happen if this rumors true.

Gearbox is picking up right where 3DR left off or its been scrapped for the god knows how many times.

I think the voice is fake but will find out soon im sure.

Sorry but where the hell are you seeing anything about "sending messages to lock threads"? All I see is that Joe sent Damien an PM which could've been about anything. For all we know, maybe it said "MegaMustaine is such a dumbass lol"

[derdante]

Jobivan is gonna bathe in copies of DNF on release date.

[Damien_Azreal]

Nah, it was actually.. "I like cookies."

Sang,

If you were to read my post again, you would see this quote in it as well as right above it.

[JobivanHiob]

Does it really matter? You know that the minute the game goes on sale you'll be ordering a copy(or ten) express overnight shipping.

[River]

I am certain that Duke is going to be released today.

Note that on 3 September:
-(1976) Viking 2 spacecraft lands at Utopia Planitia on Mars.
-(1971) Qatar gained independence from Britain.
-(1783) American Revolutionary War ends

It is about time that something memorable happened on the 3rd of September.
Always bet on duke!

So Duke is not coming ???

I find it odd that he said. "Mr. Nukem." and not Duke Nukem forever. Question: Could someone be in more the one Panel?

The rumours would appear to be true. Borderlands dev Gearbox IS working on Duke Nukem Forever - and the reborn game is set to be unveiled at Seattle event PAX today.

US dev sources have indicated to CVG that the game will get a "grand demo" at the show - and will be built upon what 3D Realms has already created, rather than a completely fresh project. We're hopeful it will be playable.


Shocked? Of course you're not. It's hardly as if this is the best kept secret in games.

Publisher 2K last night said that "something big is going to happen at the 2K Games Booth this PAX".

The tease follows last month's rumours that Gearbox had taken over development of DNF. Boss Randy Pitchford reportedly intimated that something may be coming at PAX.

2K's PAX conference will be available via live stream at 6pm UK time through the link below.

Duke Nukem Forever has suffered a famously patchy history. Original developer 3D Realms shut down last year, after working on the game. for over a decade

Check out the latest gameplay video to emerge below. Bear in mind it's unofficial footage - allegedly taken from an ex-3D Realms employee's online portfolio.

Looks a bit ancient. We're very keen to see what Gearbox has done with the old girl.

From CVG.

Hi Joe - we had invented those words, everyone who thinks DNF will come someday is a duketard, and everyone who says it wont is a naytard.

ZOMG it looks like that mod I was working 10 years ago called EURODUKE.

Well, the message on the frontpage from June 10th was obviously some piece of work . Maybe for free, for old friendship, but it was. And it means Joe has to be in some kind of contact with 3DR. Am I wrong?

Well, Joe worked for the company for a long time... and is still friends with George. So, he can help George with server issues and such if needed.

How does that confirm anything? That article is going off the same exact rumors and speculation that everyone here has been running off of. It confirms nothing.

[Jeager1999]

PAX will Start soon or already started. Better Pray to Jo-Bu.

[JobivanHiob]

hahaha...I feel warm and fuzzy inside!
