Gisteren dook ineens het bericht op over een releasedatum voor Duke Nukem Forever. Een interviewer van het Dallas Business Journal zou de bevestiging hebben gekregen, maar ontwikkelaar 3D Realms laat vandaag echter weten dat dit een leugen is:
- “Quite simply, they are lying bastards and they know it. In what appears to be an unfortunate turn of events, there seems to have been some confusion between what was ‘off the record’ and what was not. I suppose we’re used to dealing with gaming press and not mainstream press. Lesson learned.
While we have internal targets, dates and goals, like every developer, we are not ready to share them. What’s amazing about this is that the DBJ must have assumed that we’d actually announce a date to them, and not gaming press […] The release date is still ‘when it’s done’, and will be until the appropriate moment. Platforms have not been finalized or announced. You can rest assured that we are moving toward a goal and that the recently released teaser trailer is the start of that process and seeing more of the game, sooner than later.
We apologize to gamers and websites everywhere for this series of events. Sometimes, you can be too trusting of people and assume things that come back to bite you. Lesson learned.”
Kortom, vetrouw nooit meer het Dallas Business Journal en het blijft nog steeds wachten op officiële aankondigingen van 3D Realms om zekerheid te hebben omtrent de releasedatum en platformen.
