I do believe we have a new Duke Nukem Forever contender.
 
meeh
im not interested in this game anymore =\
 
I'll go through the same process as usual.

I'll stop giving a shit until we near another release date.
 
I had no idea 3D Realms was making this game too.
 
I dont really mind. I mean im waiting for:

1. Stalker
2. FEAR
3. Quake 4
4. Hl2: Aftermath
5. Serious Sam 2
6. Ut 2007
7. Earth 2160
8. Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
9. TimeShift
10. Enemy Territory: Quake Wars
11. Prey
12. Alan Wake
13. Supreme Commander
14. Duke Nukem Forever

(No particular order)

Im doing a lot of waiting so i really dont mind. As long as they take there time for the better, and not some retarded market shit im fine.
 
As long as we don't have a Prey contender... I don't think I could handle waiting another 8 years.
 
What I think:

This confirms that what they had made in the first place was a totally shit game. They've realised it wouldn't live up to all the hype so decided to revamp it with DX9 effects and spend extra time trying to turn it from an average game into a decent one. The problem is that they're only creating more hype that they'll never be able to live up to, a la Duke Nukem Forever.
 
While they are at it they should take out those stupid mutated creature things. That ruins it for me. I would wrather have it just be about survival between other humans.

Same mistake Crytek did with Far Cry.
 
hmm...didn't Stern already post a link a while back saying this game was delayed til 2006?
or am i missing something here?
either way...i will be getting this game.
 
That sucks pretty bad. I'll still get it when it comes out.
All games get delayed but the good ones get delayed more
 
I like how they've been working on this game for 1300 known days and they still havn't gotten the plot down....woot;)

No, just no.
 
people I have played it...it really does suck. It just isnt good so stop worrying about this game
 
you've played the entire game? do you work for THQ or something?
 
no Ive been to Germanys Game Convention there you could play it
 
Yea honestly, don't base your opinion on alpha leaks. When alpha leaks get released to the public, it isn't usually a bad thing when knowledgeable people recieve them, but when retards start basing their opinion of the game around this un-finished version of the game, is when it really starts getting bad.

I'm kind of bad too though, I based some things around the HL2 leak, but it was all positive.

Here's a good way to go at it:

1. If it's really good on Alpha leak, it means it's closer to release probably, and it's a good game.

2. If it's really bad on Alpha leak, chances are it's just not very close to release, or it's a really old version of the game that's not finished, therefore should not be judged one way or the other.

So anyways, I'm just glad I found a game that I will never get bored of, and has already been released. No more waiting for me.

What is this game you ask that you never get bored of, and provides countless hours of entertainment? World of Warcraft.



edit: Damn...your post..***ined mine. Well, it stills goes for a lot of people out there. And still, it's unfinished, so...yea, it was still testing period.
 
Is it really cynical of me to think that they leaked the alpha on purpose to try and rekindle interest in the game?

If it was purposely leaked (which I doubt) it would more likely have been as a way of justifying the delay.
 
The mutated creatures did ruin Farcry, at first, I was pretty worried that they were strong, and I would have trouble, but then it turned out they were easy.
How long was Duke Nukem Forever delayed?
Oh well, now the game will be better atleast.
 
I dont think the game was delayed ...or at least this isnt a new delay ...a month or so back in an interview on oblivion lost the developer said they'd release the game after a 6 month ad blitz ...simple arithmetic proves that it couldnt have been released in 2005 cuz they havent started the ad blitz yet

i think i remember u posting something about that.
i understand why people are shocked/surprised since u did post that news a few months back.
 
ya I know but people are getting angry for nothing as this isnt a new delay
 
Maybe its only me, but i liked the direction they were taking Stalker. I would like to fight mutated creatures, as long as they had sensible DMs. (IE hit the head/neck = it dies.) Farcry was crap game period. I hope that it gets done and is good. But, until then, ill just keep playing HL2DM and CS:S.
 
You guys are a bunch of hypocrites, you complain that BF2 is a buggy game and it was released way too early, then you have a developer willing to delay the game to make sure it has great polished gameplay and you all bitch? What gives? You people are impossible to please.

Bingo.

It's 2006, not the end of the world. Both Half-lifes were also delayed by one year and as, a result, ended up as good as the hype.
What everyone has seen of Stalker has also been promising, and now it is being made better.
It's not a case of switching engines or anything extreme like duke's been up to. They've already shown that there's a strong foundation and now they'll be building on it.
