3D Realms shuttering might be good news. Who knows? Either it means, they're shipping the damn game, or they're going to send it to someone like valve to finish it up.

RIP 3D Realms.

I doubt they've just been working on this one single game for 12 years - they must have done something else during that time; just because it was announced 12 years ago doesn't mean they actually worked on it all the time.

It's for the best. We all know and love DNF as vapourware; as a real game it could never live up to all the enjoyment we've had mocking it, so I say let it remain as vapourware for all eternity.

It's time to finally get canned, thus ceasing to be the laughing stock of the games industry, and chew bubblegum.

and I'm all out of gum...

I wonder how many times we'll hear that joke...

Development on the Duke Nukem Trilogy is continuing as planned."

Wait... they have a plan?!!? Ten hypothetical quid says that the 'plan' for DNF closely resembles the Daikatana plan. And we all know how well that turned out...!

Thats Duke Nukem Trilogy, not Forever. DNT is made by another company for Nintendo DS and PSP.

Oop, my bad. I blame thoughts of Daikatana for my lapse in concentration.

I'm more pissed about the potential loss of Prey II to be honest. Damn damn damn.

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.

Saturn eh? Didnt think I'd hear of that clunker again. I played Duke Nukem 3D like crazy, getting user made levels which kept me all the more addicted and even took a shot at it myself, failing miserably. But tried Duke Nukem 64 and that convinced me FPS on console was not for me.

Hmm, that might still happen, since Prey is someone else's bag. So dont give up hope yet.

I told you so Chance
Fuck.

I think Eat lead is now the closest we're gonna get to having a new Duke Nukem style game

 

[insomniac666]

Tis a shame. I guess that in my heart of hearts that we would never see it.

Ah well, back to Unreal, lol.

I always thought of Serious Sam as the new Duke Nukem anyway.
