I heard that GBX is now working on the vapourware game, Duke Nukem Forever. Does this mean that ACM has been shelved for a while?

Hopefully not but DNF has been a curse for developers. Hopefully GBX has immunity.

It's been in development hell for a decade or so hasn't it?

Forever.

The announcement of GB taking over the Duke Nukem franchise is the last slap in the face to the people who have been eagerly and patiently awaiting ACM, that is all; I admit that the delay of DNF borders on epicness, but in any case:

a) I don't give a rat ass about DNF, never ever did, and never ever will.
b) The delay of ACM will soon challenge DNF epic delay, so I'm not crying for DNF.

GBX didn't really shift priority from A:CM to DNF. When they picked up the IP, the old team was still working on it and keeping it alive. GBX just managed it and now its in it's polishing stages. You could put DNF on the lowest priority and A:CM on the highest and STILL DNF would come out first.

yeah, but both are still being worked on! A:CM will come out just maybe not before DNF! I sure as hell hope not! I have full confidence that this game will come out and it will be kick ass! We may just have to wait, which should be no problem since we have been doing that for 2 years now!

Actually It's been 4 (almost 5) years, and 8 to 9 for all those of us who were also eagerly awaiting the old ACM for the ps2.

Too much waiting for a humble human beign like me, perhaps not too much for a robot.

Let's hope this is the first time Mr. Randy speaks the truth, just for once, but GB taking over another delayed game like DNF under the current circumstances regarding ACM is just soooo so so ironically bad for us that I actually don't know If laughing or crying at this point..., I mean, they had to resurrect another epicly delayed game like DN (and It had to be GB LOL) after all that happened during these loong long years of radio silence and media blackout awaiting ACM...

Don't tell me this is not some kind of joke or just the last slap in the face we ACM fans needed.., you know, I'm not trying to ruin your dreams since yours are mine too, but please wake up guys, they have laughed at us more than enough imho.

yeah well the last sentence in Pitchford's interview brings me a little hope and prevent me from crying deeply!He said it will be soon before he break radio silence, so I can wait just a bit longer until we get some good stuff! The main thing holding him back is the idiots at sega and 20th century fox, who, for some odd reason, have a stranglehold on the franchise and are preventing further info about it! We just have to endure the storm for just a bit longer!

How long is a piece of "soon"?
