Not holding my breath but it looks like it might really happen. Looks like they might actually work on the game.

Where have you been? Old news. Gearbox took over and it's finally going to get completed. A 2011 release.

sure i knew that they took over the project, but i didn't really believe that they were really gonna work on it... much less have a demo ready by 2011.

I will laugh my tail off if it gets delayed. But I think it will finally see a release then. Just hope it's not still using Unreal Engine 2... lol.

Well, you do want them to finish the game. Not sure what engine was being used when 3DRealms last worked on it, but changing or updating the engine could further the release date. Let them get this one out and then release a new one with current or future design.

who cares what engine. as long as its duke and fun, its win.

My thoughts on the whole DNF thing.

DNF became gaming's equivalent of GnR's Chinese Democracy. I do admire their quest for perfection.

I do think they're keeping hush hush about the engine for a reason. I don't think the screenshots look bad though. Any game in development for this long with this attention to detail is going to impress regardless of the game engine used.

I would love for them to finish the game and finally see it released. Then do a GOTY edition where they package the finished game with all the different engine builds before it "as is"... meaning you get to play wherever they were at in 1998, 2001, etc, these would be unfinished of course but playable. Throw in a DVD documentary and level editor. Although I'm not sure Gearbox would want it known how much they did or didn't truly add to the game (who cares, I say, they're the ones who made it happen).

I do think the game will easily eclipse the past Duke games which imo haven't aged as well as other FPS games.

I will still laugh my tail off if it gets delayed.

Speaking of behind the scenes development snapshot. DN3D shitty version.

oh yea... full trailer

Is the original worth playing today?
anyone ogl'd it?

I never got on the nukem train.
I got into quake 1 probably 3 years after it quake came out.

Duke Nuken 3D was great. Almost as significant as when Doom came out. Plus, it was fun to play online. I wasted thousands of hours playing. Then of course UT came along. Quake was nice, but UT was the game to play.

May 3, 2011 is the release date for the game. I can't wait!!!

I believe they open sourced the code, so there should be many improved versions kicking around.

I was a heavy user of the game, the build editor was amazing. Spent most of my time making maps. Got a couple my maps included on some map cd's that were sold in stores. :P Back in the day, you could kick ass on minimum spec req's, 486-66.

Well, at least this delay is only around a month. Ten years was a little too long before.
