Soapbox a posé quelques questions à George Broussard (Max Payne, Duke4Ever). Ci-dessous les lignes qui nous interessent:
Now lets get to the meat of the questions shall we! « Where the heck is DNF »? Most people are saying that its « Vapoware »! Is this true? Duke Nukem Forever has been in development longer than any other pc game in history.
DNF is as much vaporware as people claimed Max Payne was. It’s been in development since early 1998.Most developers have come out with the dreaded « When its Done » response to when a game will be released and I’ve noticed that DNF also carries that same label. Could we at least get a « Year » that it will be released? Maybe something like « 1st half of 2002 »?
No. We’ve been doing « when it’s done » for 5-6 years and we won’t change now. People just have to be patient and play other games. Then they will be pleasantly surprised one day 🙂It would really be a shame if DNF took the same route as Daikatana in taking TOO long to be realeased. I sure hope this is not the case.
People scream for games to be released quickly, then when they are and they are buggy or unfinished or need 10 patches, people ignore them and move on. These are just games. It’s not as if it impacts anyone’s life because some take longer to make than others. All you can do in the end is look at the game once it’s released and see if it’s something you want to play.
Ceci dit, Max Payne vient tout juste de sortir en France et il y a déjà un patch à installer… mais je chipote. Vas-y George: on est avec toi!
