Is anyone actually surprised about another Duke Nukem Forever delay? Are there even any more jokes to be made at the game's expense?
It was just the other day that a local PR rep over at 2K Games was telling me that Duke Nukem Forever was on track for a May release. Whoops! Nows out of 2K overnight is that the game has now slipped one month to a June release date.
Poor planning, or PR stunt? Whatever it is, the dick jokes are already overloading.
“In case you haven’t heard, Duke never comes early,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “We’re committed to deliver a laugh-out-loud, politically incorrect experience that people will talk about for years to come. We thank Duke’s fans for their continued patience – I promise this won’t take another 15 years.”
Regardless, while we were having this conversation I was playing through the opening chapters of the game, at a hands-on preview session. And our thoughts?
Well, let's just say we're not heartbroken over the delay. We're sure a lot of folks are going to enjoy the game just out of a sense of completion, but we were kinda lost after the first poo-slinging episode.
'Nuff said.
