[Insert duke nukem for-never gag here]
12 years in development… now this. I remember watching a demo back when they were using the Quake 2 engine, or something of that vintage. If the game had actually come out then, we might have reviewed it as an oldie by now! I guess the reserves of cash from Max Payne finally ran out.
Still it’s sad to see the successor to a much-loved oldie fall by the wayside. I wasn’t a huge Duke3D fan personally, but it still deserves recognition for the humour, and the “real-world” maps which made a change from random, abstract sci-fi corridors and castles as seen in iD games.

WHAAAT?!?
Well, I guess that’s to be expected when you haven’t released a new game in 12 years.
Hopefully they’ll find new jobs, but I can’t honestly say I really give a damn anymore if DNF ever sees light. Probably better to just let it go, and bring it up only in design curriculum as a prime example of the evils of "feature creep."

It’s unlikely that whatever they would have brought out as DNF would have been worth the wait.
Probably would have been better than Daikatana though.
