Anywho, if true, at least the IP might go to a company that can actually deliver a product inside of 10 yearsValve, for example.
Anything but Epic, they'd turn DNF into some stupid tournament thing and lose the pigcops. I see Rare keeping the Duke Nukem canon intact.joystickjunki3 said:

And no, they didn't make Prey...they started it, but they didn't finish it and most if not all of the original material wasn't used in the end product.
Duke Nukem Trilogy is NOT Duke Nukem Forever. From what I understand DN Trilogy was the original Duke Nukem 3D and the two console games that followed somewhat updated for today's crowd, probably for XBox Live and PS Online. Since that's being developed by outside 3D Realms, it will most likely still happen and we'll still get some Duke Nukem intake. Albeit it will be ashes compared to what-coulda-been.gmer412 said:
Now all that remains is for historians to attempt to discover what exactly they were doing all this time.
To be completely honest, I never played Duke Nuke'm in the first place, so I'm not familar with it.joystickjunki3 said:I don't think I want Valve taking on Duke Nukem.

... maybe Rare? Maybe even Bungie or Epic? I think those studios are better equipped to handle the title.
Fair enough. I first played Duke Nukem 2 on the PC in school. Then I convinced my mom to pick me up a copy of Duke Nukem 3D for the Saturn back in the day.Doug said:To be completely honest, I never played Duke Nuke'm in the first place, so I'm not familar with it.joystickjunki3 said:I don't think I want Valve taking on Duke Nukem.

Great games if you're into pop culture references, humorous misogyny, action, violence and tits.
Alright, I see your point. I still think Bungie could do some good w/ the series, but Rare is still my first choice.samsonguy920 said:
well that sucks for 3D realms but 12 years on Duke Nukem..... they should have gave up on it and jump start the company ,then probly pick the game back up.
Indeedie! Of course, the big problem with DNF is this:joystickjunki3 said:Fair enough. I first played Duke Nukem 2 on the PC in school.

Can't say this a a big surprise, it'd be hard to keep asking people to dump their money into a burining hole after 12 years.
Nooo! I wanted to kick ass and chew bubble gum! I'm all out of gum! I've been all out of gum for 12 damn years!
I would agree except that I believe that most reviewers (maybe even Yahtzee), and even some forum posters, might cut some slack to whoever (if anyone) picks up DNF. Simply because it would not have been <company X's> fault it took longer than Jesus to show up. But your point is not w/o merit.Doug said:Indeedie!

I was thinking more like maybe one ball, or possibly just a pinky finger.Doug said:True, true. Maybe they'll just take a hand?joystickjunki3 said:
I posted this link [http://duke.a-13.net/] in another thread before I learned of the existence of this one. I don't know how many of you have seen it, but it was quite interesting, and entertaining, to read.
I especially like how it reminds us that it took less time for humanity to develop the atomic bomb.
