I know I'm going off-topic, but: is this true?

Quote:

In an interview with Xbox representative Jason Ing, it was revealed to Joystick that Duke Nukem 3D, developed by 3D Realms, has passed certification and is expected to release "sometime in September." The Xbox Live Arcade revival, which sports the same minimal graphical enhancements as Doom did on the service, is being published by Microsoft and is an exclusive release for the platform.

I'll be getting it around 7:00-7:30 AM EST and play Hollywood Holocaust before I have classes. College

Gotta love GAF

Joe Siegler · 09-23-2008, 04:53 PM

Alex, no. That is not true. We debunked that when it appeared. As has been stated here numerous times, there are no graphic enhancements to the game. It is the same art that was released 12 years ago. Just like Doom was the same it was when originally released.

You'll find out in a few hours anyway, so don't worry now.

Also, regarding the time around the world. People don't see my posts, do they?

I will be up before 4:00 am (eastern) to play tomorrow... I don't even go to bed until then most nights... oh and either 9 or 10 hours left! cause the whole when they will actually make it available thing is confusing.

ash678 · 09-23-2008, 05:04 PM

Oh, I see. Thanks, Joe

pjohnsonjr · 09-23-2008, 05:39 PM

Taking one of my patented late night naps just so I can be up to frag and roll at 3/4 AM CST. I'll probably ask the question if people are forum goers. Unless I recognize someone.

Syph · 09-23-2008, 05:41 PM

Probably most of the people playing as soon as it's out will be from here anyway.

Steve · 09-23-2008, 07:35 PM

I can't WAIT to get home and wait for this

I'm pulling up our lounge suite right in front of the TV

My wife said she's not even going to bother to talk to me when playing tonight as I'm sure "not to listen"

Syph · 09-23-2008, 08:49 PM

I'm gonna test out my 360 hooked up to the projector and get it all set for the AM. Then it's off to bed to rest up. Early for me

Why? Because there's only 6 hours to go!

Boo Boo Juice · 09-23-2008, 09:45 PM

I'm real tempted to stay up and get it, but I think I'll just wake up an hour early and get it. Then play a few levels before work. That sounds like a better plan. I am still debating whether I will go to the gym tomorrow or come home to play some duke then watch godfather on bluray.

Goldencalf · 09-23-2008, 10:43 PM

4 hours 20 minutes and counting ;p

Twas a good day today, just finished watching Death Race. Currently catching the last half of Prey for Rock and Roll, kinda fruity but Jackie is the hottest woman in ANY and I mean any Movie.

Gunna stomp some ass tonight. Folks had best be on!

Ravey · 09-23-2008, 11:24 PM

Tehis · 09-23-2008, 11:29 PM

Goldencalf · 09-23-2008, 11:40 PM

Thats one hell of a Photoshop mate, sick work. and er 3:20:00 and counting.

Raoul Luigi · 09-24-2008, 12:14 AM

Getting up mega early, this'll be worth it, DNF I won't go to bed.

Dark Agent · 09-24-2008, 12:32 AM

I'm all ready to download it, just a couple more hours left to wait.

Steve · 09-24-2008, 12:58 AM

Sooooon. People... very... SOON!

rckrz6 · 09-24-2008, 01:10 AM

rckrz6 · 09-24-2008, 01:24 AM

ASR-sJBu · 09-24-2008, 01:27 AM

DerricktheW · 09-24-2008, 01:27 AM

Thing is though

You can't sell back arcade games

Man there are many that I would if I could

rckrz6 · 09-24-2008, 01:28 AM

i wouldn't sell this one back if i could, most arcade games and very simple and get boring fast, i don't even consider this an arcade game

vipeness · 09-24-2008, 01:40 AM

Almost Time...

Amakou · 09-24-2008, 01:56 AM

Wait...is it 1 AM Pacific Time, or 2 AM?

~Amakou~

ZaphodB · 09-24-2008, 01:57 AM

This is Mission Control.
T-3 minutes and counting.
Main engines on, all systems are a go. Prepairing for final countdown.

pjohnsonjr · 09-24-2008, 02:10 AM

It keeps kicking me off of live every time I try to start the game up.

EDIT: Seems all games are doing that to me.

ASR-sJBu · 09-24-2008, 02:11 AM

OMG My net has been capped, gonna take ages to download bloody worst timing ever

ZaphodB · 09-24-2008, 02:20 AM

Wonder if it's M$ live servers struggling to handle the load?

Sharpie · 09-24-2008, 02:45 AM

Downloaded. I will be playing single player for a bit first then ill hop on xbox live.

I AM SOOOOOOO PUMPED! My gamertag is Sharpie92 if you spot me online

Raoul Luigi · 09-24-2008, 02:47 AM

KaiserSoze · 09-24-2008, 02:52 AM
