At least we know they are progressing, and the game is playable, although broken. I’m just afraid that they try to balance the game for too long that it would be the next Duke nukem forever. I just don’t know if the doom3 engine will show its age in the next few years.
Look at Blizzard’s starcraft ghost. Game was great at the e3’s and blizzcons, but as time passed by, the game started to show its age. Now blizzard postponed the game till whenever it might be.
The next DNF it may not be, but it might be the next Starcraft ghost.
I just don’t get why blizzard decided to make the game super great that they decided not to sell a game that already looked great.
Just watch as SD slaps down this game is indefinitely postponed.
Last year, I saw very good footages of SCG and I really wanted the game to come out badly. I was wondering why the game isn’t out. It looked cool. Turns out they wanted to make a multiplayer portion and took a long time to finish it. The graphics showed its age so they decided to postpone it to look at new technologies. I have never heard of any news of that game since.
I am feeling the same urge as I did last year, but with this game. Yes, the game may be almost complete and ready for beta stage, but who knows if the game is going to be released in 2010, or indefinitely postponed to who knows when. I’d doubt that SD would add any stuff to the game rendering the game to be released 3 years from now. Just as how Blizzard and Swinging ape decided to add multiplayer to an already finished game.
