Isn't that deadline set a bit too early?  Perhaps by... three years?

Having won that vaporware lifetime achievment award, they don't want

Pay attention.  The game has supposedly been in the works for SIX
YEARS!  There are no screen shots or demos available.  There is no
release date beyond "When it's done."

They particularly tell you not to pre-order the game.  That's because
the game does NOT EXIST and never has.

It's a humongous joke.

You be so right. That's why we call it 'vapor ware'.
Like I alured to in a previous post, a friend of my wife was pregnant when
the game was first mentioned, as coming 'soon'. The kid is in school now.
The way things are going, he'll probably be the developer when 'its ready'.

damn shame to walk away from all those sales.  they should sell it to
someone would actually make the damn thing

I think this will be the year for DNF. I predict christmas 2004 we will be
playing the new coolest game of all time, beating Half-Life 2 and Doom 3
release.

There it is, my prediction set in stone.

Ah, you're going to put that on your headstone!
That will look nice.
I remember a similar prediction. A certain gaming store was taking
reservations for the game. It was 'guaranteed' to be out by
Christmas...1998.
Here's wishing you to be right.

Halleluja! 
Say heil to the king brother!

Do you read this, George and all the other geniusses. Don´t let these 
untrusty critters disturb your prozess of creation!

The faithful will be given free copies!

I'm a big Duke fan. I always thought Duke was cooler than the space marine
or even freeman.  But this game is already irrelevant, never mind when hl2
and doom 3 come out.  Prove me wrong 3drealms.

Some evil rumour has it that with the lots of exploding skyskrapers in 
the game it wouldn't be such a good idea to release it back then...

Well, but maybe they just f*ed up... ;)

I like to think Duke players are made of sterner stuff than that.

If it was all done in 2001 but for some skyscrapers, I'd think it
would be out by now.  They could easily replace the skyscraper texture
if they had to.

Never saw it.  Was it possible it was simply a new map and skins for
an already existing game?

If there was actually a game being built at that time, it must have
been totally f-ed up for them to chuck the whole thing and restart on
a completely different engine.  Or only claim to restart.

They probably got really behind and thought their game wouldn't sell
with an out of date engine. I don't think they have what it takes to
make a game that people will like these days anyway.

I'm not exactly sure myself, but from what I saw, they appear to have been
developing their own rendering engine at one time.  Before that, they have
been purchasing license(s) for the Quake and Unreal engines as a graphics
platform ($1 million down the drain.)

Dn4F is following the footsteps of Daikatana.  In both of these cases, the
problem with the game development isn't bottlenecked around an engine, but
rather around the gameplay design itself... or something.

The only difference between those two games is that Daikatana is actually
out.
