    DNF again!

    Well, after all these years its hard to believe, but Amazon seems to think that it will have Duke Nukem Forever to sell on the last day of 2004:

    Strange that there's nothing on the 3drealms website about its impending release! Someone's pulling Amazon's plonker, I think (but I hope its true!).

    DNF wasn't canned, it was started again from scratch, sometime in 2003 iirc.

    No, you cannot pre-order the game. If you see some online store saying "We are taking pre-orders", they're just trying to get your money (they usually also make up their own supposed "insider release date info", too). There is no release date set, we are not taking pre-orders for the game. End of story.

    Once we begin taking pre-orders, believe us, you'll know about it.

    The release date of this game is "When it's done". Anything else, and we mean anything else is someone's speculation. There is no date. We don't know any date. If you have a friend who claims they have "inside info", or there's some game news site, or some computer store at the mall who claims they know - they do not. They are making it up. There is no date. Period.

    And yes, we know the game has taken a long time. There's no possible joke you could make about the game's development time that we haven't already heard.

    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.

    re: "There's no possible joke you could make about the game's development time that we haven't already heard."

    An Irish man, an Englishman and a Scotsman walk into a pub. They say to the barman, "We'd like to pre-order a copy of DNF". The barman says, "Sorry sirs, we only sell beer."

    Bet he hasn't heard that one before...
