Countdown Thread!

George Broussard · 09-22-2008, 11:18 PM

Why not?

27 hours to go!

Steve · 09-22-2008, 11:19 PM

27 28 hours to go until I kick you with my mighty boot

Joe Siegler · 09-22-2008, 11:19 PM

28 actually.

Regular release time is 2AM Pacfic, which is 4AM here, George. It's 12:15AM now would would mean 27:45. That's assuming it holds. Sometimes games have shown up an hour or two before the defined time.

They don't call me Capt. Anal for nothing!

George Broussard · 09-22-2008, 11:29 PM

I heard 1am PST release. Could be 2am, but we'll see.

alexgk · 09-23-2008, 12:09 AM

Hell yeah!

Duke's coming back!

SoldierIce52 · 09-23-2008, 12:21 AM

I can't wait!

ASR-sJBu · 09-23-2008, 12:22 AM

Sadly that's mostly true. But Dukematch is VERY solid multiplayer.

Nobody? And what's with the people on this forum? Go get'em, boys!

A lot of people play UMK3 as I found out tonight. I also found out I'm not as good as I remember. LOL

T-22 hours and 51 minutes and counting.

All systems are a GO.
No projected halts foreseen in the countdown at this time.
This is Mission Control.

Syph · 09-23-2008, 04:50 AM

By this time tomorrow I will be very disappointed... Because I must get ready for work now and will have to stop playing

Just about 22 or hours to go!

KaiserSoze · 09-23-2008, 06:12 AM

So it'll hit at 4am eastern. I'm a night person so it shouldn't be a problem to get some late night Duke ass kicking in.

SpinX · 09-23-2008, 07:31 AM

ey guys, i don't have an xbox but can you post if there are alot of people playing dukematch?

I mean, besides the 3drealms forum posse

George Broussard · 09-23-2008, 09:15 AM

IGN has a "coming soon" page for Duke on their front page, but also a handy little countdown timer on that page!

http://xbox360.ign.com/objects/957/957675.html

Mr.Fibbles · 09-23-2008, 09:32 AM

5AM Eastern? is that the official thing? 12 hours and 27 minutes until I am going to really wish I had a 360.

IGN says it is 12.5 hours. .. that is Midnight Eastern US

George Broussard · 09-23-2008, 09:36 AM

Oh, I think IGN's is midnight. Probably 1-2 hours early. Sorry for the false alarm. They may mean countdown to putting their review on their site, or something.

Woutsie · 09-23-2008, 09:41 AM

George, i am pregnant!

alexgk · 09-23-2008, 10:02 AM

If it is released at 2AM PST, that'd be 3AM for me (PDT)...

Talos · 09-23-2008, 12:11 PM

Ohh man here's hoping that I'll be able to download and buy the game in germany *come on! come on! come on!*

George Broussard · 09-23-2008, 12:35 PM

Talos, I'm sorry, but the game will not be available in Germany, or Japan, due to their whacked out ratings systems.

13:30 to go!!!!!

Java the Hutt · 09-23-2008, 12:49 PM

Yeah still I got my hopes up - I don't know for some reason some games are downloadable even though they shouldn't be available in this region (like the Dead Rising demo). Just maybe I can get a hold of it. If not ... oh man if not I'm going to be really sad. I can always play it on the PC but ever since the release of Doom I was hoping for a Duke 3D on the 360.

Have fun y'all!

You do realise that you missed out maybe about 1 million copies of duke 3d on the pc version back in 1996... Germany is a huge pc-gaming country...

I hope for the Germans that DNF will pass their laws...

As we've said before, it's not up to us. It's up to Germany. If it were up to us, there wouldn't be any kind of country restrictions like that.

BTW, there are three countries. The third that banned us was South Korea.

George Broussard · 09-23-2008, 01:23 PM

We're not the only ones waiting.

Darren_G · 09-23-2008, 02:05 PM

I'm rubbish at time zones, anyone smart enough to know what time it'll hit the UK marketplace?

Would love to play before work... but I gotta train it to london at 7am. looking doubtful

George Broussard · 09-23-2008, 02:18 PM

I think the UK is 7 hours ahead of the US? So about 10am-11am release there, I would think?

Stevey Boy · 09-23-2008, 02:41 PM

Yeah the UK is GMT and Ill be at work when its released

Oh well I can play it when I get in
