2004 Vaporware Awards

[Jan 07, 2005, 10:56 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

Wired News's 2004 Vaporware Awards (thanks Mike Martinez) offers their annual attack on failed promises from the tech industry, briefly mocking last year's lifetime achievement winner Duke Nukem Forever before taking shots at delayed and missing projects such as Alienware's Video Array, Team Fortress 2, and RADEON X800 cards. The "appropriately named" Phantom console system nabs the top spot after a near miss last year at number three.

Well, DNF should certainly BE on the list, and it's not...

Very true. Wired paid DNR the ultimate vaporware "compliment" by putting DNF on the "Vaporware Hall of Fame" last year, I guess just to make room for other deserving nominees.
