Get out of from your 'the game dosen't exist' rock. It's officially confirmed that it exists and it's not going to happen like that.

Still going to get it.

Sorry but "official confirmation" for me is seeing it on store shelves. Until then, I'll enjoy the comfort of my rock.

also by the way, for those in the future complaining how linear it is, check the e3 98 trailer
it's planned to be a linear ride the whole way though. the mine carts in the 98 and 01 e3 trailers should be big enough for you on a clue that this isn't Duke3d II. though to be fair, this kind of on-rails fps was kind of new when DNF was first announced.

I still do want to rip apart a hangar door with an autocannon on a fighter jet though 😀 PhysX makes that crap possible, though in e3 98 its obvious it's a bunch of scripted func_'s. The dynamic lighting gave that trick away

Please wake me up when it's finally released. 😀 (Malik goes back to his slumber.)

Haters gonna hate.

I'm loving the addition of the artbook there! Looks amazing. I'd totally be buying this version on release if that's what we get.

Are you saying it's actually gonna come out?!?
Damn...sure took forever 😜

Well its just been approved for classification in Australia:

So not only did the game pass our regressive, draconian censorship laws but its proof the game exists 😁

I pray that this is true

The Balls of Steel Edition has been officially announced as not fake. Currently available for preorder from Amazon and GameStop in the US for $99 USD.

Among the items is a... "foldable paper craft". What's that?

No idea. I guess it's like a little stand or something with the logo on it. Pretty bizarre.

The comic book cover reminds me a lot of the Duke Screw'em 38D cover for some reason.

Take a closer look at the Duke Nukem Forever with the gold coloured radiation hazard symbol at the bottom. Does it look a bit....out of place? I mean, it's angle compared to the other objects at the bottom?

Anyway, just to make myself clear - I'm also waiting for the game. But I don't think I'll buy it first. Lemme see how it turns out to be. Just that there's nothing more new that can be done in it's genre with it's theme. Unless they come up with different theatre of operations like in Call of Duty series. Same gun-happy gameplay, yes, but different situations keep the story and game moving.

On a lighter note, is it true that it's launching date is slated for 1st April 2011? If so, then I'll definitely agree! Heheheh... 😁

EDIT : Malik goes back to his slumber. He's too tired waiting for it. 😁

Probably the entire image has been Photoshopped together.

The image was Photoshopped, but it is official. 2k and Gearbox announced it this morning. Also, the game's release is slated for May 3rd. I said that in an earlier post.

Here's a nice interview with Randy Pitchford by Gamespot where he talks a bit about the game mechanics of DNF, what's new, what's the same, and the devolution of shooters today. Sounds promising to me.

Another delay. Release date changed from May 3rd to June 14th.

I don't pay much attention to games released after about 2002, but I'm aware of Crysis 2. I don't know if it's out yet, or if it will be out soon. But I did see some gameplay footage very recently, and I can't help but think it will make DNF look a bit silly, especially the time it's taken them to write it.

Crysis 2 is out. I got a copy last week.

I've also learned that DNF will require Steam for single player. This is the one condition which I am not going to get it. I had even considered the possibility that this was just an overblown demo that tells you buy the full game expected at Christmas of 2016 upon completing it and still would have gotten it. But not now!

If it just uses Steam and no other DRM then you can use a steam emulator to emulate steam for that specific game, if it uses 3rd party DRM then just wait for the DNF specific crack.

That way you can use Steam as the distribution service but not have to rely on it to stop you from playing your games when you want to play them. (This is what I do because it seems that whenever I want to play a Steam game and don't crack it then I encounter some BS)
