Naz do you have any proof of that at all? Where do you gather that the brawl delay was specifically put in place to add online play and Sonic?  In fact, online play was probobly the first thing in their "original intended content level" since it was the very first thing Iwata said about the game upon its announcement.

I love you Naz but I'd really like to see you back up that claim. 

i will be insta buying this.

No thats not really UE2. Brossard has said that they started with UE2, but almost every part of the engine is now entirely new code. Unless you're counting the level editor, lol.

The delay is still adding content that wouldn't be there if they tried to release on schedule. Delays aren't for adding in new stuff you just thought of but getting what you are doing done correctly. Just the fact that the game improves over the delay period puts it beyond debate. Delays do make the game better.  But that doesn't mean improvements are linear with time.

 Yep, I agree.  I believe that's where the "Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality" part of his signature comes into play.

 I could just as easily say that Brawl was delayed because of manufacturing problems with the discs or the hardware shortage. Personally I believe that they held it back because there was plenty of games already and they thought it would serve 2008 better. They have already said they want to move away from focusing all their titles on the Christmas season.

 But belief in any of these theories doesn't make them true. If nintendo comes out and tells us why it is delayed, then I will believe it. All they have said is how awesome it is. And you expect me to believe that in the last couple months of production of one of the biggest games this generation the most sucessful developer in the game suddenly discovered this thing called online and decided to add it. Please....

And if you actually read my sig I didn't say delays wouldn't help a game. They are just a result of poor planning/development that caused a game to be unfinished. These games will certainly be better by completing that last 10% or so. 

I'm very happy to see that

it brings back alot of memories...

You can tell im a very big Duke Nukem fan... My sig

Eh, I've never played any of them. Hell, I was a wee bit too young for those games then. However, I can't say I'd be wanting it based on that trailer. To me, it looked like yet another generic shooter, but maybe that's how the Duke Nukem games really are?

On another note, if anybody (probably more PC/Valve fan related) knows about 'Valve Time', does the fact that Duke Nukem: Forever is in production signify the end of the world?

hold on, my post for this topic is coming.  It's going to be amazing, just you wait.  soon...i promise.  Yeah, it will blow you away, just any minute now.

I have the feeling this game is going to suck, not because it will be bad, just because we have so many shooters and for a shooter to stand out it has to be AAA material. I think it will be like another shooter with a great title/franchise to drive sales. I hope I'm wrong.
