Duke Nukem Forever is dead :((

[abyssofdreams]

Just heard the news, 3D Realms had to close its doors, no $$$.

Now it's official.

 

[Glenn Fricker]

Fuck.



Well, it's expected: 12 years of vaporware... they had to run out of money sooner or later. Loved Duke Nukem 3d back in the day. What a shame.


Hopefully, someone picks up the project & finishes it finally.

What really sucks is that just last month they announced that they'd made a major breakthrough with it.
Something like 70 things left to do out of a list of 900 things to do.

Pretty much safe to say it was almost done.

 

[Jaymz]

Fuck.

+1

 

[Chryst Krispies]

Damn. Duke is my hero.

 

[kaomao]

the pole dancers on Duke nukem 3d were ace lol

 

[Chris_P_Critter]

God dammit.

I downloaded the original game off of XBOX Live.

R.I.P. Duke. Hail to the King baby.

Take 2 says development will continue. How I do not know. As much as it sucks, 3D Realms deserves this fate. How can any game that takes this long to make live up to any realistic expectations? See Too Human.

If anyone is waiting for a cool FPS that is yet to be released, look up Borderlands.

looks like dukes time for kickin ass and chewing bubble gum is up.

 

[NickL]

This game would most likely be terrible anyway. See: Daikatana.

DON'T SAY THAT!
DON'T YOU SAY THAT.

 

[Erkan]

Sure I liked Duke Nukem 3D when I was a kiddo, but the only thing I like about Duke these days is this:





I love World of Warcraft nerds on Ventrilo... this is SO awesome

Edit: Oh, it's Lord of the Rings online... well same shit, nerds!

 

[Erkan]

Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard right now, it's been a while since I heard this. LOOOOOOL!

 

[cobhc]

Damn, that sucks! Though I have to admit the first Serious Sam brought me the same kind of pleasure the original Duke Nukem did, shame Serious Sam 2 was a piece of shit.

 

[Black neon bob]

But is the dev team/forever project not still up for sale? and their game(s) as well?

 

[cobhc]

Good point Robert! I'd like to see another big company continue this.

 

[Notuern]

I dont belive that Duke will survive this one. :/

I refuse to buy another gearbox game ever again the grounds that randy pitchford is a collosal douchebag.

True, he is a bit full of himself but to me that isn't a reason to not buy their games. I still like them regardless.

nah
it isnt a reason not to buy their games, im just being facetious to an extent
shame that most of their games are truly, staggeringly, awe inspiringly...
average. D:

brothers in arms road to hill 30 was hyped to no end, i bought it on release day and it was just..
not that great
half life: opposing forces was fucking awesome though, but how they managed to destroy the pacing of the voice acting in Brothers In Arms compared to ancient games aswell as modern games is beyond me.

the fact that their games are so consistently average combined with randy pitchford has made me damn near vow to never play another gearbox game
but i will try borderlands, cos i have to admit, the whole MILLIONZ OF GUNZ LOLZ thing is pretty cool.
but that will probably end up being 50 odd guns with a whole lot of pointless weapon mods that wont really change shit.
