Duke Nukem Forever

Duke3D was really good, and the 2001 version of this looked cool. :[

How does one get Duke 3D running on XP? I'd love to replay it.

I look forward to downloading "The Death of 3D Realms: Who saw it coming?" book.

Lawl, who didn't see this coming? Now it'll be another decade before DNF comes out, if ever.

I believed :(

Dammit, I was really looking forward to another Shadow Warrior game.

Guess we won't be getting any more Wang.


[hope]Or maybe they're shutting down because DNF is finally done and, after all these years, the hardworking guys at 3DRealms can finally take a break and see their friends and families![/hope]

Now that some of the dust has settled, it looks like these guys really got fucked bad. The game was apparently 90% done (and not bullshit 90% done by time, but 90% of the work was actually completed) and it was likely a few months from completion, but Take Two was trimming fat and, well... I'll just avoid the obvious George Broussard joke, here.

I mean, really, no one can act like they hadn't been incredibly lucky to have as many chances as they did, and certainly many promising projects have been canceled for disasters that aren't even close to what went on with DNF, but it's still pretty harsh to yank things out from under them on the final leg of 12 year journey like that.

Isn't the game being handed off to somebody else for completion?
