Yes. Word was the game was near completion, it just played like a series of episodes rather than one narrative. If Gearbox have had it for a year already and it's not due for at least six months, I imagine they will add a lot to it, but not recreate the game.

Most previews say it looks current anyway, so it's all good. I am looking forward to this very much.

Well, have to say, after Borderlands, I've lost confidence in gearbox. Although I'll probably end up getting DNF either fairly soon after release if it's a reasonable price, or when it's cheaper (if it's not a reasonable price). I still have an old PC Gamer UK from Feb 1997 which states proudly in the back: "In the Next Issue: Full Review: Duke Nukem Forever!" :lol:

I thought Borderlands was fine for what it wanted to be... as a Diablo of shooters it pretty much was a 100% success, though full voice acting in 2009 should have been a requirement.

Unless you meant as a PC port you lost confidence, which I could agree with. I still can't run the damn game smoothly with dynamic shadows on, and the menus are cumbersome. Still, neither of those things ruin the game in my opinion.

yeh, I think borderlands was awesome, especially in coop

It seems Gearbox mostly used the content created by 3D Realms, heck lots of 3D Realms employees even continued to work on it after the shutdown of the studio.

well, it seems more like Gearbox just ported this to 360 and ps3, the pc version was almost completed by ex 3drealms and Triptych Games

I started an eyefinity lobbying thread on the gearbox forums, feel free to drop by and give it a push ;)
