3D Realms closes down - Duke Nukem Forever no more

(1/3) > >>

lanux128:
i was waiting for further news to see if this was a hoax by 3DR but it seems like the fat lady has finally sung. 3D Realms has folded due to insufficient funding, placing the future of Duke Nukem Forever in the hands of their publisher, Take-Two. this sequel to wildly popular Duke Nukem 3D was announced in 1997/98 and has had a long journey into vapourware-dom. Hail to the king, baby!

That sucks for all the people working there.

Deozaan:
I still don't understand how it could possibly take 12 years to make a game. Or why they didn't come out with other games in the meantime to help with the revenue problem. Bad business plan means you're going out of business.

If they didn't see this coming in the past twelve years, they've had their heads in the sand.

p3lb0x:
Pffft, like anyone wanted Duke Nukem forever any more. It's the very definition of vapourware

wraith808:
I did.  I wanted it, and I wanted it to be good.  I remember many hours playing single and multi-player.  I wanted that back again.  Oh well.
