    Apparantly better engine than HL2, and running physics demo!

    Now if I could only see the demo, I would be a lot less skeptical.

    They won't, because it looks like this: [​IMG]
    (Yes, that is Duke Nukem forever, and yes I know it won't look like that any more)

    Well, an explanation for the delay would be that they've haxx0red an uber-1337-r0xx0r engine ;-)

    more power to them and i'll get it whenever it comes out but damn. Look at what other companies have done with less than half the time they've spent on this..what 6, 7 years?

    Duke Nukem 3D was released in January 1996, almost ten years ago. I would imagine they had plans for a sequel from that point.

    iam just asking myself who is founding those guys man there must be millions of dollar already in that game
     

  11. True, but thats the beauty of such a fickle market...

    ...Get a successful franchise running and people will always throw money at it, i.e Duke Nukem 3D.

    ...Some will throw the money at you because they don't want to miss out on the 'action' and others will throw it because they fear that if they don't they will already lose their capital investment.

    ...Once you start throwing money it's impossible to stop, RIP Acclaim :smt022

    I have a *very* old trailer for the game (around '97-98 I think) when it was still using the Quake II engine. It looked good back then, but I have a feeling it'll suffer from the "been-in-development-for-almost-ten-years-now-it's-going-to-suck" syndrome :).

    I still have the PC Gamer, 2000 with all the info on this game... I second Deathcoaster in renaming it, "Duke Nukem: Whenever."

    The just recently had those guys take over.

    It seems to me bad ,management and probably a lot of key programmers leaving left them with code they couldn't make sense of.

    Plus 3D Realms made the MAx Payne games which were quite succesful I believe...so one assumes they made some money from that too.

    I have a trailer of it running on the Unreal Tournament Engine in 2001, wanna trade? :p

    Remedy developed Max Payne, 3D Realms oversaw the project. They did make quite a bit of $$$ when they sold off the license to max payne (i think they should have kept it).

    Take2/Rockstar games now owns the license.
