Duke Nukem (gone)Forever

So , call me cynical if you want , but i now understand why 3D Realms were making so much noise of late about the vaporware that was Duke Nukem Forever .... they needed money !

It's pretty typical really. After years of sitting around not coming up with anything to present to people the accountants suddenly realised that the funds were drying put so the PR machine went into overdrive .. we got a teaser trailer .. a "sneek peak" on a web TV show .. and lots of stories about milestones being passed and the game being 90% complete.

But in the end what are we left with a gaming comunity and a company ( Take2 ) who just either no longer cared or simply didn't believe the hype. The fact of the matter is that untill they were able to show off a proper demo, playable or otherwise, people would still think if DNF as vaporware... and in all the desperation for funding that is still something they couldn't do.

However , there is light at the end of the tunnel ... Take2 could now farm out the Duke nukem game to another developer. One that might actually be able to finish a game.

So another 2 year wait and Duke could finally be back... Ah , something inside me just can't let the dream die !!

Right well back to playing Duke Nukem 3d with the PC HD pack .... Good times !!
