So why has the new Duke Nukem title been stuck in development hell for so long? "We fully admit [we] screwed up the development of DNF, and it's now an industry joke," Miller told YouGamers. Adding that 3D Realms "set the bar too high" and "tried too hard to make the game to beat all games." That philosophy has changed over the past year-and-a-half. Miller said that 3D Realms has "taken a much more realistic look at the project, we've hired a truckload of experienced help, and I personally believe we are now on the right track…finally."
