3D Realms said that the game, which is about 11 years late, will be completed in time for Christmas with versions likely for Microsoft's Xbox 360, Sony's PlayStation 3 home video game consoles and PCs.
3D Realms President Scott Miller told BizJournals there had been no formal platform announcements but it made sense to release the game for the PC, PS3, 360.
However before anyone gets out the bunting for the game, Miller admits that there could be one or two problems and it might not make the target date.
Miller said it was impossible to make an official announcement as the company may miss the mark by a month or two. So in otherwords it might be next Christmas he is talking about, or even the one after.
News Press: Dallas Business Journal
LIE? George Broussard,president of 3D Realms as posted:
I'd like to address the article the Dallas Business Journal put up today.
In what appears to be an unfortunate turn of events, there seems to have been some confusion between what was 'off the record' and what was not. I suppose we're used to dealing with gaming press and not mainstream press. Lesson learned.
While we have internal targets, dates and goals, like every developer, we are not ready to share them. What's amazing about this is that the DBJ must have assumed that we'd actually announce a date to them, and not gaming press, and that even in the light of Scott's quote of "We can't make an official announcement.", the DBJ effectively did that. Lesson learned.
The release date is still 'when it's done', and will be until the appropriate moment. Platforms have not been finalized or announced. You can rest assured that we are moving toward a goal and that the recently released teaser trailer is the start of that process and seeing more of the game, sooner than later.
We apologize to gamers and websites everywhere for this series of events. Sometimes, you can be too trusting of people and assume things that come back to bite you. Lesson learned.
