Breaking: Duke Nukem dev 3D Realms closes it's doors!

Stop rationalising everything!

IG. We kick ass and not even take names.

Meh. I think it would've been pretty disappointing anyway.

I never played the original Duke Nukem 3D, so I wasn't really interested. But still it is amazing they lasted this long. I haven't seen a game the with 3D Realms logo in years. Was it present in Prey? I don't remember.

Come get some!

 

He did have more personality than his contemporaries.

Duke 3D was amazing for it's time. I still occasionally play it for the nostalgia factor.

 

Speaking of Prey, when I saw those screenshots above I thought they were from Prey 2.

Hm, so Brian Lawson, the guy who implemented HDRR into NWN2, which for some reason wasn't available in the game and still isn't, must look for a new job, too.

This is from Scott Miller (of 3DR), about what does and doesn't make for a good game name. One is that you shouldn't give your game a name that can be criticised. Of course these are only guidelines, not rules. Duke Nukem Forever would totally be an awesome name if the game wasn't the biggest joke in the gaming industry.

it's been lying in the grave for so long - it's about time they starting shovelling in the dirt

3DR may be dead, but that doesn't mean DNF is dead. Perhaps someone picks it up.

well they will start selling assets, failing that who ever owns 3dr owns it

 

but no, Duke Nukem is dead, he should stay there

You're probably right. DNF would have just been another average/solid FPS anyways. Nobody will really miss it.

Take2 still has publishing rights for DNF.

Look interesting and fun. Ego bar ftw :D Maybe someone will really make this game.

Doesn't look so revolutionary at all, as George Broussard always promised us.

 

 

Some pretty cool stuff in there mind, but without playing it, and knowing that, how can you say it isn't?

I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. 

Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.

Now the Spinward Marches don't look so GRIM!


 

The gameplay seems kinda fun. If they could make it into a over the top action fest that pokes fun at itself, I think it would be interesting to play.

That would have been fun, I think.

"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Looked more fun than most FPS I've seen previewed for a long time actually. These kind of FPS should just capitalise on high adrenaline high speed rampages with cool but simple things you can do and a lot of style.

 

Also looked like, true to a forever-developed game, there were a lot more detailed animations and 'unique' touches (like the big garage door coming down on a monster and the monster getting flattened, and the door shutters also being ruined).

Twelve years and all they could come up with was the giant alien in the stadium fight? That was in the N64 version already.

 

But in all seriousness, I don't see how this could be any good if it were to be picked up and finished/scraped/restarted.

I saw in the credits listing of whos in the staff photo a 'Brian Lawson', that's not our toughpants is it?!

"I cannot profess to be a theologian; but it seems to me that Christians who believe in a super human Satan have got themselves into a logical impasse with regard to their own religion. For either God can not prevent the mischief of Satan, in which case he is not omnipotent; or else He could do so if he wished, but will not, in which case He is not benevolent. Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem."

Man, all this stuff coming out now, but when the game was still in development all they could manage was a few tiny, lame teasers?

Yeah, well after 12 years I'd like to think they were sitting on a ton of stuff. The alternative would be...bad.

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

I bet some dev will pick it up and finish it.
