    All we know is that the publisher won't throw more money at them. But I almost hope they will go bankrupt, that way we will get our hands on atleast a beta in some form (after a while, by some ex-employee).

    Man, this really has to suck for the fans that were waiting all that time.

    Then again I think almost everyone became uninterested after the first five years.

    No, this sounds like an awesome idea. I choose to interpret it as meaning tha tyou want Shenmue and Duke Nukem Forever all mixed into one game.

    I'm far more interested in the prototypes than the final game. Hopefully they'll start floating around.

    At least the game will be passed off to someone who might actually finish it.

    It's really sad, but still, like other people said before, they haven't done any new games since prey in 2006, I know the have done some re-releases such as XBOX Live Duke Nukem. But i can't say I'm not sad because I loved their games, and I will miss them.

    Worst thing is I read that they were actually 90% done with the game when the plug got pulled. Like, for reals. :-(

    The game really was close to being done. It still hasn't fully hit me yet.
