Take 2 Results

Rickmus,

>>Normally George is very talkative when companies announce things like this, but I expect him to be very quiet on this. Prove me wrong :)

Been working solid all day :) This all means jack and shit. It's simply T2 being smart and making sure dnf isn't projected for a certain quarter until they are rock solid on knowing it will hit it. We tell them all the time to not predict a release, or bank on a quarter.

This isn't even remotely news.

the Warriors, a game based on the 1979 movie???!!!fuckin sweet. any of you youngsters that haven't heard of the movie, rent it.... it caused a shitstorm back when it came out.

uh oh...looks like DNF may be vaporware for realz now...

I mentioned this on the 3dr forums and their webmaster locked it http://forums.3drealms.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=10;t=011532
Hes right though, if take two pulled out all together someone esle would gladly publish it.

Granted, I only minored in business, but it only took me less than a minute to totally f0rk-up your statement:

"Accounting rules require a writedown if the fair value of an acquisition or investment has fallen significantly and, in bean-counter lingo, the decline is deemed "other than temporary," meaning fat chance that it will recover."

If we play a little fill-in-the-blank it goes like this:

"Accounting rules require a writedown if the fair value Duke Nukem Forever has fallen significantly and, in bean-counter lingo, the decline of Duke Nukem Forever is deemed "other than temporary," meaning fat chance that Duke Nukem Forever will recover."

Maybe you were thinking of a 'write-off'? In any case, money doesn't grow on trees so they lost that $12 million no matter what spin is put on it. The only happy-happy part is if DNF manages to make a lot of money, which is never a guarantee in any business. How much money did Eidos lose off of the 'sure thing' called Daikatana...lemme Google it...

Feel free to disregard or tear apart this statement, I never did pay much attention in my business classes.

It's be really great if DNF came out this year.

I just hope GTA4 is multiplayer and cross platform from the get-go.

The PS2 hardware would really hold it back.

When it$ done! - George

"Take 2 is taking a charge on Duke Nukem Forever due to the game's many delays"

What does that mean?... They're gonna sue? They're dropping the franchise?

I can see it now... After seeing the sales figures of Unreal 2, 3DRealms has decided to switch to the now infamous "The Sims" engine. This will allow them a broader range of systems to sell to, and will also allow them to release up to 10 expansion packs under the license...

There are no jokes left that sum up the disappointment that is called Duke Nukem Forever :(

As for GTA4 - bring it on!
