Holy ∗beep∗, that’s 2 DNFDU (Duke Nukem Forever Development Units)!
Assuming it WILL be released on that date…

Like actual C64 Cartridge and 3,1/2 " Floppy Disc? Impressive! I guess the digital download will be the fitting format for emulators (thus TheC64 too)

Question is if it´ll be anything more than a Gryzor ripp off as the title screen suggests (well it actually reminds me a bit more of Myth from the screenshots, so there´s that).

Quite a story there! I hope they’ll get some audience.

Yes and yes. :slight_smile: I don’t own a TheC64, but if it is able to read D64 or similar files then you would be able to play them.

btw: There are several C64 game releases per year and some of them are released on cartridges and/or real disks. RGCD is such as publisher.

That´s good, I already have an USB stick full of those to play on that one. Easier accesible for me at the moment than our actual old Commodore.

I noticed when looking at the year list on Lemon C64! The only void seems to be in the late 90s/early 2000nds for a bit where there seemingly were actually not releases at all for a bit. :slight_smile:

It reminds me of the development of the TWP Italian dub.

What was the official start, the release of the game?
That would be 0.246 DNFDU until now.

No, it was in 2017 around in this period of the year. So it’s more or less 3 years.

I only played a little bit of TW2, and wasn’t terribly impressed either. TW3 turned out much better than I had anticipated, especially after what was shown in the various trailers (i.e. mostly action). But to my surprise it did have a number of nice quest lines with fairly good stories. I’m hoping the same is present in Cyberpunk 2077, but I’m actually not a big fan of the genre. Still preferable to anything post-apocalyptic, though :slight_smile:.

Evel Scent.

I miss the days when you could put a new game into your console and then just start playing it instead of it telling you it needs to download an update (that takes at least 8 hours to download) first before it lets you do that.

:astonished: What the… 8 hours?

For just about 40 GB no less. And from what I read the problem is not on my end. Popular demand I guess! The speed is about 2 MB per second. Already downloading for over 7 hours now.

I still got over one hour to go. It´s like they managed to delay the game for yet another day almost while it´s already in my house!

A 70 GB base game with a 40 GB first day game patch with a download time of over 8 hours.

Gaming in 2020! :partying_face:

Here’s hoping they don’t have the next patch out by the time your download is finished! :slight_smile:.

That’s like 10 DVD-ROMs!

Sounds like you won’t be playing a game after the download finishes either, but watching endless intro/cutscenes for more than 8 hours.

Makes you want to go back to loading times from tape on a C64, no? They had a loading screen after 2 or 3 minutes in, at least.

You can’t just tell it that you’ll play it now and it can download whatever updates it wants later? :confused:

… or 3129 HD disks!

I was actually afraid would happen! :sweat_smile:

For those I´d at least gotten to rock out to the Ocean Loader or something!

Not even that. And other games I played in recent years at least gave me the option to start playing and have the patch load in the background in the meantime. It´s funny because this game´s main platform is GOG who pride themselves in not forcing online connectivity… :upside_down_face:
