Wait, so Prey 2 and Earth No More will never be released?
Either the complete story, an early build, or or...anything.
Give DNF to Valve. DO IT! :hyper
No way, unless Turtle Rock Studios is going to work on it.
What I don't get about the DNF thing is that it wasn't that ambitious a project. I can see how you could keep scrapping everything and starting over if you've got some grandiose vision in your head and so everything has to match it perfectly, but this game is just a dumb shooter. Even if everything were executed perfectly, it would still be just a dumb shooter, so who cares if it's flawed?

wtf? There's no way this is real.....right?

The game was touted for its "unprecedented interactivity", aiming to "push the limits of gaming and establish new standards in interactivity, variety, and pure fun."

They should have just released the awesome 2001 build.

The gossip from that one dev was that everything (er, at least the gameplay) in the 2001 build was created only for that demo video. It was phony.

New press release from Apogee Software regarding Duke Nukem coming next week.
While the use of Twitter accounts to give some cryptic and/or hype information is flawed i will still post this

i wonder
It looks like the game was basically done but maybe 3DRealms couldn't get a publisher for it because maybe they weren't willing to give up the distribution rights or something.
It actually makes fun of itself, which no game does that much anymore. Even duke's model has the proportions of a action figure I guess.

Someone at Kotaku said that 3D Realms asked for another $5 million from Take Two to finish it, but Take Two said no and offered $30 million to take it and finish it themselves. So George shut down 3D Realms instead... :wtfIt looks like the game was basically done but maybe 3DRealms couldn't get a publisher for it because maybe they weren't willing to give up the distribution rights or something.
Take Two has had the distribution rights for years now.

So uh, why did 3DRealms close in the first place when the project was 6 months from completion? They somehow had the funds to keep paying people for the last 10 years...seems odd they would run out just as they were actually about to finish something.
From what I could gather(by reading GAF, lol), they asked Take Two for five million to finish the game. Take Two offered them 30 million for the Duke ip and to finish the game. I guess this meant that if 3Drealms decided to shelve the game, take two could just give it to someone else and finally get a finished project. 3DRealms weren't having it so they decided to just close up shop.
I'm still kinda half expecting Rebellion to somehow eventually sweep in and make a playable something out of 3D Realms' mess. They attract troubled projects like flies to shit.
No, fuck them. They apparently screwed over Free Radical for the rights to do Battlefront 3, using Free Radical assets. I'd rather never see another Duke title again.So uh, why did 3DRealms close in the first place when the project was 6 months from completion?

I'd buy it on account of it being a less than bloody serious shooter. There's a critical shortage of such games.
I was actually excited about that one, but from what I've read, the final results are pretty terrible. The gameplay sounds absolutely awful to the point that it would be difficult to enjoy any of the humor. It's a damn shame too.I'd buy it on account of it being a less than bloody serious shooter.

Did you get in on that D3 Publisher one, The Return of Matt Hazard?

TT sues 3DRealms over the delay:QuoteTake-Two Interactive Software Inc. filed a breach of contract suit against Apogee Software Ltd. this week in a Manhattan Court over the developer's "continually delayed" Duke Nukem sequel. Details of the suit were not disclosed in a report by Bloomberg, nor has the New York County Civil Court provided specifics about the damages Take-Two is seeking.
(For the record, the legal name of 3D Realms is Apogee Software Ltd., the party being sued. It is a separate entity from Apogee Software LLC, developers of the still alive Duke Nukem Trilogy.)
According to the complaint, "Apogee repeatedly assured Take-Two and the video-gaming community that it was diligently working toward competing development of the PC Version of the Duke Nukem Forever."
why sue someone with no money?
There is probably a great book out of this trainwreck. :lol

In theory, maybe someone already got commissioned to do the the book.
In theory, that person already started work on it.
In theory, the author and publisher got told to stop work on it.
In theory, the book was canceled.
In theory.
What engine was this running under again?
Heavily modified Unreal 2.
Jace Hall has no business harping on other companies failures. Matrix Online anyone?
Shut up, nobody cares about MMOs. Those things always fail.
