3D Realms upset about Duke Nukem Forever
Posted on Thursday, 7 February 2008 by MysticAng3l, source: 3D Realms
As we reported before, Duke Nukem Forever should be ready at the end of 2008. 3D Realms however isn't so happy with us knowing this, because this should have been off the record. Apparently a jounalist of the Dallas Business Journal wasn't aware of this and published it anyway. George Broussard announced the following on their forum:
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, and that even in the light of Scott's quote of "We can't make an official announcement.", the DBJ effectively did that. Lesson learned.
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.
In other words, 3D Realms has learned its lesson for the future when speaking to 'mainstream' press.While we have internal targets, dates and goals, like every developer, we are not ready to share them.
