Yes, I saw that. Well, not that, I didn't click the link but I'm presuming this is the announcement that 3DRealms is kaput. I'm still not clear on how 3DRealms managed to keep funded for so long...... stupid investors, no doubt.

It's a shame, cause I was looking forward to them releasing Duke Nukem, just to see how bad it was.
yo listen up here's a story
about a little guy that lives in a blue world
and all day and all night and everything he sees
is just blue like him inside and outside
blue his house with a blue little window
and a blue corvette
and everything is blue for him and hisself
and everybody around
cos he ain't got nobody to listen to

i'm blue da ba dee da ba die...

GOOD RIDDANCE I say, Im not sorry they died and crumbled.

Duke Nukem 3D was great back in the day when I was in High School (what some 12 years ago I spose now) but since they never did anything else other than that DN3D is lame now.

Duke Nukem Forever even if it was released would be just like any other shooter using an outdated engine of sorts I bet since the first story about it was 10 years ago or whenever they first mentioned making it so theres likely been a dozen or more better shooters with more hardcore action to them than what DNF would have likely provided.

Since they kept prolonging DNF to ever be released constantly its no wonder they failed and ended up disappearing.

I think you're all jumping the gun. I'm calling bullshit on this and saying that 3D Realms is dead, but Duke isn't. Especially since an announcement is coming on the games future.

Well at least there was some proof that they were doing something at least and not just making a trailer :P

But im with Hiss, i don't think it'd take long before someone snaps it up

it has a future?

well, zombies do seem to be the motif de jour, so perhaps the duke will finally rise from the dead and they'll release the game.

I'm betting that if they don't finally make an announcement and say DNF (that's Duke Nukem Forever, not did not finish... although, wait...) - where was I - oh yeah, if they don't announce that DNF is dead and buried then I'm betting the game will still never get released and we'll still be hearing its "coming soon" when Xbox 1080 comes out.

Now Take Two are sueing 3D realms for failure to launch DNF, as originally contracted for publishing rights in 2000

So for those not up to date - 3D Realms have responded to Take 2's lawsuit by saying that HAVEN'T closed down, and have simply allowed the team working on Duke to break off and work with them Bungie/MS style.

This is a turd of a hype story. Quit the shit 3D Realms and give us the damn game!
