So hey Duke Nukem was always a pretty mediocre series, why do people still give a shit about this again?  Like, whatever PERSONALITY it used to have has long since started seeming stupid and immature in retrospect, so I really hope it's not still riding on that!  It is either going to be more of that (heh.... nudity and swearing.... awesome), or just another generic FPS, and I don't really see why either is noteworthy!

Look, I want to ride donkeys with a shotgun in my hands, okay?

It had some pretty retro levels it had going like the secret 780 degree sphere. I hope that returns, but... that'll never happen.

NOOOO!!! It's the curse of Duke Nukem!
A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

they should have released the betas at $20 a pop. if at least a million people are interested in this that's pretty much an instant 20 million dollars

Well that's gay as hell. Apogee/3D Realms was one of the first garage game companies in america and I've always liked how they never took themselves or their titles too seriously. Oh well.

rip wacky wheels...

Santiago's right, this looks just like Doom 3. I liked that old trailer better where it looked like Perfect Dark but it had all this stupid stuff like riding the donkey and I dunno you drank beer in first person or something

It's really not that surprising. I mean, it is, because it's the END OF AN ERA but it's their own fault! You can't expect ANYONE to want to back you when you've been developing the SAME VIDEOGAME for 12 years! Take Two says in the article they had a publishing arrangement, but weren't funding development, so how the hell has 3D Realms funded this for so long? They've barely ever even released footage.

Also Drule the article says Apogee isn't affected.

Wow, DNF is what we write on the grading sheet if a kid doesn't hand something in. It stands for "did not finish". Coincidence.

I don't know if that means anything though. They only developed software up until 1996 when 3D Realms took over the game development as a subdivision. After that Apogee became an online distributor for old games and sort of stayed that way.

EDIT:

Whoa, looks like they brought Apogee back up.

Hahahahaha, it seems so dumb to cancel something that was 10 YEARS in the making. Jeez just release it as a beta or something and make money off of that.

despite footage being released and everything it's entirely possible that they were never really very close to finishing the game at all or even close to a beta quality product even recently.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

Well they said Duke Nukem wouldn't be affected so it's still in production.
