Really? WTF man ;P
I know. It sucks and I'm sorry. Feel free to beat me up here:
Important Duke Nukem Forever News - Gearbox Software Forums
As a fan of Duke Nukem, I ask you (if it's possible), why you delay the game? Motives, I want motives. Thanks for your time.
We had to. There were some things that we just didn't want to cut corners on. We're already doing everything we can. I'm sorry.
The trailer said I could go to the DN:F site to beat you up. Where is this located?
If you want to beat us up over the delay, we're reading forum posts here:
Important Duke Nukem Forever News - Gearbox Software Forums
I'm pretty sure putting out some new sexy duke gameplay footage would satisfy a good number of us (I know it would for me!)
We'll try to get some new footage out there soon. There are some folks working on that and it looks pretty f'ing cool.
Are you guys gonna be at E3? And are you gonna announce a new BiA? I hope so
We'll try to get some new footage out there soon. There are some folks working on that and it looks pretty f'ing cool.
Your ass must have puckered right up when the decision was made. The internet isnt well known for "acceptance".
It's been extreme pucker factor on this one since I jumped into the line of fire many, many months ago now.
W H Y ??????? This sucks so hard. it must be a curse.
Yeah I know it sucks. It's *really* bad for us, but the alternative would've been worse for everyone. We're doing the right thing.
What's the reason for the delay?
Lots of natural uncertainty turned out to make our earlier prediction not accurate. Best to face it ASAP rather than too late.
Maybe an early demo release sounds good now? Sounds very good to me.
It won't be long before we lock down with the First Access Club Members get the demo. They will get it before launch for sure.
I think the fans that rushed out and did the BOSE pre-order deserve more of an explanation.
I know. The full details are beyond the scope of a tweet, but it had to be done and I'm very sorry.
Be honest. Does this have anything to do with the Capture-the-Babe mode? Please don't tell me you guys are changing that.
No - it has nothing to do with the Capture the Flag inspired multiplayer mode.
May I ask how come the delay happened? Like...is there still major bugs or something?
We've got about 50 - 60 certification and "A" bugs left in the database, which is about right for where we are.
if you think Duke Nukem is going to ship on time *ever?*, then I've got a bridge to sell
It will ship.
Is Duke Nukem Forever really being delayed or is this just some cruel joke?
It's real - not a joke.
When comes the demo ?
We'll announce the demo date for the First Access Club Members as soon as we can. Shouldn't be long now.
Is the delay an April Fool's just 'deployed' early?
No - this is real. No joke.
why release an American icon to the rest of the world first? my one and only question, this is absolutely ridiculous
We want it out ASAP. In North America, games come on Tuesdays. The 10th of June is ASAP and June 14th is first Tues after that.
Is this a Sony/MS certification issue? Why the international release before the US?
Not about certification specifically, but we did have some things that took longer than we thought.
what does this mean for the game? Was it a glitch? Extra polishing? Redoing a level?
It's about finishing - closing out the work items that we need to close out.
was all voice acting newly recorded or is there some being used from previous development cycles?
Some earlier stuff was great. Tons of new stuff recorded. So a lot of both?
Surely the DNF delay is a joke Randy ? Which company takes a game delay decision behind it's CEO's back and then boradcasts it?
Well - the video announcing the release was designed to make fun of ourselves for your amusement. But the info is real.
Duke or Arizona tonight?
Always Bet on Duke.
Its just a smack on the ass for these "Hysterical" girls right? Also, was this delay planned? Like an irresistible joke?
It's a love pat on the ass - more about sexual innuendo. Not at ALL about violence towards women, which is SUPER UNCOOL.
Delay was NOT planned. Very difficult and expensive for us, but the right thing for fans.
it's a very funny video, but why the delay, the gaming industry needs Duke!!
Agreed. We need Duke. Delay was unavoidable, even though we tried. I'm sorry.
Since you want to answer questions, any news from Borderworld ?
lol - I'm going to dodge that question for now
randy... come on this is a joke right? 14 june DNF???
No joke. I'm sorry. It's a tough decision, but the right one for fans.
Gonna release any video of this "super controversial" ass slapping gameplay as a retort to the hack articles? #hatersgonnahate
I'm tempted to less the ass smack to be something people discover for themselves. We'll see...
Is the delay to add something or purely for polish? Are there any details that still havent been revealed about the game?
The delay is because of time to finish some things that our predictions were wrong about. Lots of unrevealed details, still.
What is the cube root of 27?
One? Two? Five? (Three, sir!) Three!
on DNF: is the delay due to more code debug time or last minute content change? Looking forward to play DNF. thx.
It's finishing and polish - some of our predictions about task completion and difficulty were inaccurate.
Reason for the delay? You know thats mean for the Gearbox credibility?
We have to finish the game...
Why!!!!!? I just want a valid explanation of why DNF was pushed back yet again?? also when will there be demo news?
We have to finish the game. Demo news will come soon - hopefully before May.
Is this delay due to any content being cut? Please don't take away the booty spanking! =P
Nothing is getting cut because of the delay. Some things are getting better, though.
What is the exact reason for the delay Randy? Bug squashing? Framerate hitching? Multiplayer issues?
We need to finish the game.
Can I ask an Aliens question? What ever happened to A:CM?
A:CM is awesome and in the pipe. We'll talk soon and I can't wait to do so.
Release Date of demo? Editors tools are in or out? Why delay dnf?
Demo news as soon as we can. No tools in box - would be nice to do but we haven't planned that.
Was it Gearbox or the publisher? Be honest.
I'll take the blame.
Is this one-month delay so 2K Games can make a better cover art for DNF?
You don't like it? Think it matters? I would've done some things differently if it was all mine, but it works well enough.
Why are the members of your team painting monkeys ?
Random - has nothing to do with this bit. Just background noise. Good question, though!
Also, how come international is being released before America?
We release ASAP, which is June 10. In North America, games have to release on Tuesday. First Tues after 10th is 14th.
so what was it like getting ahold of DNF and getting to complete the project? I love your guys' work! Can't wait.
Who wants to live in a world without Duke? Had to be done...
What're your overall plans after DNF is released?
After DNF is finished, we'll probably want to do some DLC and then think about the future.
Please for the love of God, include mod tools or some kind of editor in Duke Nukem Forever. I want DNF to last a long time.
Currently, there are no mod tools included with the game. But we love the idea of that and have done that in the past. We'll see.
At the very least, can you guys get the Steam page up so i can pre-order it and have the satisfaction of knowing it's paid for?
I don't *personally* know when that will go up, but it can't be that far off. It will go up as soon as it can, I'm sure.
Wait, so the game isn't even finished enough for a demo? Wow. Just wow. How about just giving us either of the PAX demos?
The demo will happen for the First Access Club Members and we'll be getting some details out about that before too long.
so we going to get some info on why it is delayed? and if this is a hoax what happened to not jerking us around anymore?
Not a hoax - Check my posts on our forums and read my tweets for more details as I've been answering questions tonight...
Where is the Demo for FAC? Why on earth would you disrespect America like that and ship overseas first? What was the reason?
I've got nothing but respect for America. The goal is to ship ASAP, which is June 10th. US games have to ship on Tue, which = 14th.
My question to Duke Nukem Forever: Does the game have unlockable Making of-Content, similar to the first Brothers in Arms games?
Yes - there is "Making Of" content that the Triptych guys did some great work on. Also - limited edition has a book, too.
.
de demo komt VOOR de game uit.
