3DR actually is funded by Nazi Gold. Uwe Boll was only kidding, 3DR really does have Nazi Gold to fund their work.

Seriously, I think the revenue from Duke3D still comes in and the release on XBLA certainly helps. . .

You're right there! Heck no, we're not trying to make anyone angry here. We have just as much respect for you guys as you should have for us. Yeah, Rock goes a little bit over the top sometimes, but what do you expect? Duke is awesome! If you guys don't like the "God" part of Rock's posts, then just ignore them. That is his belief and he should have the right to express it. And if you guys want to post anti-God remarks in your comments, then we'll just ignore them as well.

Hell, sometimes I don't like some of the comments made here, but I don't complain about them. I just keep my mouth shut, go about my business and no conflicts are made.

Precisely well said I agree dude!!

You may think that if you'd like, but we're not telling you guys anything, Dave and I are keeping our mouths shut from now on about what we saw exclusively. We can only say this: We are positive for many Good Reasons also confident that DNF will blow you negative Duke fan like guys away. It will easily and definitely is destined to become the greatest game we have always knew it would and have always believed it will.

Either you did, or you lie. It's either of those two, if you lie it only confirms that you are indeed a troll. BUT if you are correct, then I just want to ask: how did you get to see DNF? Answering that wouldn't brake any NDAs.

How could that be trolling? Even if we did make it up, we didn't do it to make anyone angry. Gotta have a joke around here every once in a while to keep things from getting boring. Besides, how many times has George said DNF will be released tomorrow? George is obviously quite the troll, too.

If you have already seen something from the game I believe you, what youre connection is with 3DRealms I don't know. Some people such as Shacknews has seen the game recently and could not talk about it, that some other people has seen it seems obvious. Let's forget this, and move on.

Fair enough. Let's please move on or else I don't think the title of this thread will have any more meaning.

[peoplessi]

It's not fun in any sense, and counts purely as trolling if it's not true.

[crunchysuperman]

Seems to me that the entire purpose of this topic would fall under the jurisdiction of the rant thread. Maybe it should be folded in.

Done.

The "48 days left" thread is now contained inside the rant thread.

I smell a Trailer 3DR is cooking especially to please all Duke and 3D Action Fans...

You know, one characteristic of a troll is someone who deliberately and repeatedly posts completely off topic in a thread.

Rant thread. Rant thread. Rant thread.

Get it?

[Master Fibbles]

Damn it! You guys are ranting about people not ranting! This is supposed to be ranting about how 3DR has had a media blackout and then showed a little skin but never went full monty for us. We are supposed to be complaining that Duke has been absent in our lives for so long that out gaming balls are blue now. Just shut up about who is and who isn't a troll! Rant about the damn game!

Dude, I wished you were George Broussard by the moment you wrote that answer!

Well guys, I think all hope is lost.

The Wow expansion: The Wrath of the Litch King was released yesterday, and George wants to create a new character starting from 0.

http://www.shacknews...n.x?id=18450636

So, there we have a new one year delay for DNF.

I'm having my doubts this game will ever get to see the light, and if it does it will be a very bad game.

This is starting to get frustrating, 3DRealms hasn't learnt ANYTHING over the years on how not to screw things in developing games.

WOW
Now I think George and Scott talking in the jace hall interview about WoW as one reason for the delay was true.
But how does it effect the progress of DNF if George is playing WoW at work? Or does he only plays at home in his freetime?!

I agree. Every time there was a restart or major delay, there was hope that they'd learn from it, but I guess not, as they keep repeating the process.

[zchri9]

Ive got nothing against GB3DR, infact i think his a good guy.
but 12 years...
I hope the game doesnt get scrapped again.
PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE SURE IT ISNT SCRAPPED AGAIN!

[Micki!]

Boohoo the game isn't out yet...
Just wanted to join the ranting, haven't checked this thread in a while...

[rockmx8]

No the game isn't delayed and is on schedule dudes.

[DavoX]

Who told you that information? Besides you've got your own thread for your optimism, no one is bothering you there.

That's top secret...

Yes I know but this statement only confirmed that the game is well on its way.

[peoplessi]

If you claim to have some insider source, so be it. BUT if you are not, you are just trolling. Wrong thread for you.

[Micki!]

rockmx8, you need to realize that this thread is only here to let people vent off, and rant as much as they like with no one opposing their opinions...

Optimism is for any other thread, this place is for ranting, and ranting only... We don't need anyone to convert any naysayers or whatever happens in here, that's all their bussiness, and why we let them blow off steam here without any risk of being banned at all...

...So, please let them...

If there's no trailer by the end of this year, I'll probably pack it up and go home.

I know how you feel

[kaisersoze]

I'm just at a point now that I want to see something SUBSTANTIAL regarding
the game. If Scott Miller's "prediction" of the team being done with the game by the end of the year was accurate(or perhaps missing the mark by a few months) then the game should be in good enough shape to show off in terms of starting the media hype.

If we go into the new year without a peep from 3dr regarding the game(especially the 1st quarter with nothing), I'd suspect the dreaded "restart" or "retooling" phase has reared it's ugly head again.

And then I'll go a step further. A trailer still won't convince many people who've been down that road before. I propose 3dr back the trailer up with a solid "hard" release date.

Pretty much end the trailer with ON STORE SHELVES JULY 4TH, 2009 for example.

While that *still* wouldn't convince some, I think it would show they mean business this time and will back up the game's release date, show confidence in it and that they can meet the date(or even beat it.)

They should have a ton of material in a highly polished state where they can bang out a pretty neat trailer for us at this point. No more excuses, restarts, retools, mass departures, mass hirings, etc, etc. I don't think we want to hear about that anymore. I don't. I just want to see the game in motion. In "substantial" form.

I'm pretty sure it's ready George. We're ready. Let's do this.

pretty much my thoughts!

Now its THE time to do it. Next year is too late and I guess all the fans would turn against 3DR.

[crunchysuperman]

I agree Kaiser. If we don't see something big this year, it'll be the end of this mess for many of us.

I'm really getting beyond upset at them and just pathetically disappointed.
