About 3D Realms and the Duke
Thursday, 5. November 2009, 19:32:08
After searching the net and trying to find some people from 3D Realms and get some answers what actually happened to Duke Nukem Forever and why was never released. What was heard and read they lost there money cow from publisher so end of story. Maybe was project just to ambitious and eventually give up the soul. To clear up some things 3D Realms is developer, Take2 is publisher and what is Apogee Software i don't know so why they let go Duke Nukem to passed away i again don't know. Was to hard to buy Unreal 2 Engine back then and pay that 350.000$ for licensing. They made Prey after 10 years when first announced with Doom III engine so was to hard to use this engine anyway ??? So if main developer group fall apart there is no way to see the Duke in action again, maybe they will sold source code on Ebay to some game fanatic or game studio that will eventually come to epilogue of this saga of Duke Nukem. They just vasted publishers money and produce some video teasers and that's about it, here are some leftovers of 3D Realms and i hope they just evaporate.
Update: Here is some more info LINK, looks like they planed Duke Begins too this one from Gearbox well even that did not help anybody or anyone!
Total list of companies involved is ridiculous: Apogee, 3D Realms, Take2, 2K Games, Gearbox and Gathering.
