3D Realms Lives On
WOULD THEY JUST FUCKING RELEASE IT ALREADY?! MY GOD!!!
Sorry but I just don't care. I hate Duke Nukem as a character. He's just a huge douchbag. I could really care less about this game.
Oh, I can just imagine 3D Realms talking to potential investors for these future releases
Investors: "Why should we fund you?"
3D Realms: "Our development team is an innovative, dedicated group of guys that are well known for our work on the incredibly popular Duke Nukem series. We believe that if your company would back us, we would put out another stellar product that would appeal to the die hard fans, making more than what you put in"
Investors: "Take-Two thought you might say that..."
This is all a publicity stunt gone wrong. Duke Forever reveal at E3, coming this year.
And that's when the world explodes of extreme.

Take Two still has every right to sue them, the money was supposed to fund the game they were developing and it's barely been seen up to now, and now it's been cancelled!
Twelve. Fucking. Years. I actually was in shorts back then, now I'm unemployed, need to shave and I'm whining on an internet forum. I just thought I'd reiterate that.
The other side of this I think is that Take Two really come out of this looking like the bad guy. Yes, 3D Realms should finish the game at this point. But really, it is look more and more like T2 was trying to manipulate a really shitty situation in there favor, trying to bend 3DR over while they could and run off with the Duke IP on the cheap.
Take-Two "You are aware that 3D Relms has s*** on your legacy. We are suing them for how they handled you."
I think the whole fact of people losing their jobs cools my actual expectations of this being some elaborate hoax, to say nothing of the leaked design document. That might have them think twice before releasing the game, consider re-writing it from the bottom up. And we know how quickly they can make a turn around like that.
Wait, so if they're not closing down. Why havent they issued this on their website that still says "Goodbye" with no real context as to why its there? On top of that, their online store has nothing available for purchase. I mean, for years up until a couple of weeks ago, you could get a jewel case CD copy of Duke Nukem 3D. They even dropped the price of $20 to $10 in lieu of it's release on Xbox Live Arcade.
Now, Apogee is not affected by the turn of events, which makes some sense. They may very well be the same company. But I cant imagine them (Apogee/3D Realms) being taken seriously anymore. That goes for Duke Nukem as well. His name and legacy of alien stomping gore splattering, hooker-tippingest badass continues to live on handheld format? That doesnt quite settle with me.
Well one thing has always remained true throughout all these rumors: Duke Nukem Forever will not be developed by the people that have supposedly been working on it for, what, 13 years or something? Firing the developers is usually just as good as killing the game/franchise itself.
Guess what, DNF stopped being a funny joke and more of an annoyance 5 years ago, when everyone realized it was never coming out.

With all that money from the Duke Nukem Trilogy, they're gonna license a new engine and start from scratch with DNF. Game will ship Fall 2012
