Duke Nukem Forever Development Still Ongoing

Next news
2:31 PM - June 23, 2009 by Marcus Yam

Plus there was an unannounced Duke Nukem game in the works!

Despite the closure of 3D Realms, it seems that Duke isn’t dead. Shacknews spotted in countersuit documents filed by the developer, work on Duke Nukem Forever continues despite the business side of the game being a complete mess.

"[3D Realms/Apogee Ltd.] admits that it has continually worked on the development of the DNF for many years, and continues to do so," reads a clause in the document.

It was reported that former 3D Realms staff had shopped the game around to various publishers and developers, though none have yet picked up the title.

Interestingly, there was also another Duke Nukem game in development, but wasn’t yet announced, titled Duke Begins. Take-Two was set to publish Duke Begins, which was worked on by a third-party developer, sometime in the middle of 2010.

Development of Duke Begins was supposedly halted when 3D Realms experienced a change in funding, which eventually lead to the closure of the developer. 

Check out the full story at Shacknews or read the court filing at Game Politics.

As long as they don't butcher it. If it took 12+ years to finally release and sucks, that'll be the nail in the coffin.

The reports of Duke's demise have been 'somewhat' exaggerated...

I'll believe it when I see it! I should say when it is finally in my hands. Till then as far as I am concerned it is nothing but a fleeting fantasy................................................................
.....................OK! OK! I can't wait. I still hold hope.

I stopped hoping a long time ago... and you know that when it comes out, it won't live up to anyone's expectations.

Guaranteed to flop. My opinion... you're free to disagree.

Now that I think of it, they should turn this project to open source so that a community could work on it and finally release it!

It's been so long, it's about to turn into public property on its own

You know if they are going to make it then make it, if not then don't stop announcing every little change. Think the flip flopping is making people care less and less every damn time.

I am afraid that this game will be crap...
The more it changes companies, the worse it's gonna get.
The company that will finish it might do it quick.... means a lot of bugs, badly written code....
That's too bad because i really enjoyed Duke Nukem 3d...
Hey this reminds me of something that came out too quickly.... I won't say what, you guess
Tip: starts with a "V"

There is a GoD! Yippie!

I was having trouble sleeping about not ever playing this awsome game.

I don't care if it's a joke or not. Seen some video's on youtube, looks great for an older game. I think if they comeout with it and it was based on the older looking game in the video's, they would probably make a lot of money off it. Even though the game looked old as hell, it still made me go "wow, that looks fun"......

If it's really just a joke, then the company is just making a bad name for itself by getting gamers hopes up. Either way, i don't really care, tons of OTHER games out there to play.

3D Realms Not Closing:
http://pc.ign.com/articles/984/984145p1.html

"Despite rumors and statements to the contrary, 3D Realms has not closed and is not closing. 3DR retains ownership of the Duke Nukem franchise. Due to lack of funding, however, we are saddened to confirm that we let the Duke Nukem Forever development team go on May 6th, while we regroup as a company." Broussard writes. "While 3DR is a much smaller studio now, we will continue to operate as a company and continue to license and co-create games based upon the Duke Nukem franchise."

Even if it is released and even if it is a good game, with it getting passed around so much I can't help but wondering how all of the code will come out... it may play like balls

Yah, likewise, I stopped hoping a while back. I'll believe it when it's on the shelves, but I won't buy it even then until the reviews say it's worth playing. So, IF it gets released, and IF it's playable, I'll buy it. Until then, I'll hope for things like really efficient cars in the US, or something else that is unlikely but possible, before I waste time hoping for anything new Duke Nuke'em.

Maybe now it will get finished since those hacks that had before are not working on it.
