A standard shooter sure, but Duke 3D was certainly more innovative than most 3d shooters... maybe they're trying to make it be like that. But it's a moving target and I see less that 3d shooters can innovate on so what they probably should be doing is just trying to finish it as a good game for some release time, not constantly change it or whatever it is that's making it take so ridiculously long... they could have finished several pretty good shooters in this amount of time! It'd only be truly worth the time if it ends up as a groundbreaking title, or at least one of the best FPSes ever, and I don't know if they realistically have a good chance at that. All that 3D Realms is really doing is burning cash and reducing intrest in their game. I mean, how long does it have to be one of the industry's biggest running jokes before when it finally DOES come out not many people care...
I've always liked Apogee/3DRealms and think that they're a good developer so I do think that they can make it a good game, but still... it's gotten pretty absurd.
