Oh no I think most of us expected it, but it's still sad and slightly shocking to just appear in one day. It wasn't like Free Radical or any of those other studios who slowly passed away (or got revived in the case of FR). It's like having a friend with muscular dystrophy or tubular sclerosis - you know it's going to happen one day but you hope for the best. And yes this game is like a childhood friend to me . I think the reason it took so long was that it was always going to be a really big game but they had to keep up with modern tech so they remade it more times than MSD2. But I don't blame them it looks like it would have been one hell of a game.
And that video. Damn. That looked ace I'm hoping to hell that Take 2 can still get this game out somehow.
Heh, after that Duke vid they showed a Pokemon Gold/Silver remake vid which was nice of them. At least there's something to look forward to!

These are the people who held a BBQ in a nearby carpark to E3 and only invited a few select people to join them and view their legendary game amongst strippers and such
Nothing they do could surprise me.
I saw the trailer thing. Awesome animations, but frankly, much of it looked faked. Esp since a lot of things looked unfinished. Heh, gameplay is almost the same as in DN 3D.

Really? The shooting bits looked similar (it is an FPS after all) but the climbing up on bosses, bosses doing more than just walking+shooting, the minecart, interacting with NPCs other than strippers and HL2 style storytelling were new for the series.
Climbing looked faked. Maybe we saw different video clips. Lol, the rest of the stuff seems pretty standard for a FPS.

From everything that I've seen and read about DNF in the last few days, I think that 3D Realms was just bullshitting around for the last 12 years. They're rumoured to have switched engines five or six times. Finished working on content and have a higher up say at the end, "no, I don't like it, do it over again" instead of when it's being started and worked on.
The best way I can relate this to clicking... Hrm... Imagine if every 6 weeks your computer wiped all the level and enemy graphics from your project, making you start over. Imagine if every 8 months or so saying that your computer wiped your engine from your project, making you find another one or start working on it from scratch.
3D support would be added to MMF before you finished your game. HWA would be finished and HWA2 would be in beta. Computers would have advanced to where 1.5TB HDDs are the norm for stock, store-bought machines.
Here's some stuff about just how long DNF took. Includes fun facts like what kinds of major events took less time to culminate than DNF. http://duke.a-13.net/
