Daily Q: Will the world end this year?
Category: Features, Posted: 05/31/2008 at 10:12AM CDT by Creighton DeSimone, Staff Writer
Welcome to the late edition of the Daily Q. Today we're going with a simple question, but you may not understand the context from where this Q comes. It stems from long development cycles.
I remember seeing the very first trailer for Duke Nukem Forever. That was about 11 years ago. I had convinced myself that the Duke was dead. There's also Too Human -- a game that's been in development for 8 or 9 years now. I feel like I've been hearing about this game since the PSone days.
I had chalked both of these games and the newest Alone in the Dark up as vaporware, but it seems all three will be coming out this year.
Could this be the end? Is it possible that this triple shot of vaporware turned actual software is enough to end the world as we know it?
I would have said yes if we were seeing Killzone this year also. We've been seeing a whole lot of nothing about that game too...that and Alan Wake.

Most likely they will all be set for release on the same day. The space time continum won't be able to take that kind of stress, and will end the day before.
I think there will be a few scenarios.
1: One or more get delayed/scrapped right before release.
2: One word......Daikatana.
3: And also the most unlikely..........They get released.
too human and alone in the dark are coming
duke wont b out for antoher year or more tho
Nope. There's no way a kind and loving God would allow it to end before I beat DNF.
The world will be safe for many years to come.
