lazygecko Posted May 10, 2009 Author Posted May 10, 2009 Some gameplay footage, model animations, etc: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/316675.html?playlist=featured Quote
TheHands Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 Fuck. Why does this have to start looking playable now that it's not going to happen? I didn't give a shit about DNF, but now I'm a little sad to see it go. Quote
The Coop Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 You know, I've never been one to talk about what happened with games like Doom 3 and Half-life 2, but I'm hoping this game gets a similar "leak" at some point. Quote

DNF leaking wouldn't be as bad, seeing as HL2 and DooM were actually being released. Quote
The Author Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 $40 could be used to buy a game that actually exists, though. Actually, you'd only need to donate like 10$. Quote
Bigfoot Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 Watched the gameplay video earlier, and it actually looked really good imo. Hopefully someone picks it up. Quote
SoloGamer Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 http://www.savedukenukem.com/ Wonder how long it'll take to surpass the $30 million Broussard refused from Take-Two (allegedly). Quote
Asaudan Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 The donation funds are probably being embezzled as they're collected. Quote
SoloGamer Posted May 13, 2009 Posted May 13, 2009 Apparently he's not a scammer, just an idiot. ***UPDATE***May 12, 2009: OK, I just learned this morning that the company that owns the rights to publish DNF rejected a $30MM offer. As optimistic as I am about raising money, I think that's just a bit out of our grasp...unless Bill Gates wants to help us out. Stay tuned for more info and updates. Also, I've decided to take down the donation links until I can get in contact with the former 3DRealms guys. I want to get their input and a better plan in place before we start accepting any money. This popularity of this site has taken us by surprise - especially due to all the unexpected traffic coming from Reddit. Thanks to a great suggestion by a visitor to the site, I've posted links to some wonderful charities for those who are still in the donating mood. Please support those very worthy (yes, more worthy than a video game) causes! Donate to the Red Cross. It's what Duke would've wanted Quote
Gario Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 IGN, always there to put things into perspective for us... http://games.ign.com/articles/981/981284p1.html I admit they do have a point this time, though. Quote
SoloGamer Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Might as well also post the Duke Nukem Forever List Most of the stuff in that IGN article are mentioned, as well as a plethora of other facts Quote
Gario Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 Might as well also post the Duke Nukem Forever List. Wow. Just, wow. IGN really can't come up with anything interesting on their own, can they? Quote
Pavos Posted May 14, 2009 Posted May 14, 2009 And here I was thinking IGN finally came up with something original and unbiased Quote
SoloGamer Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 Take-Two Sues Apogee Over ‘Duke Nukem’ Game Sequel Take-Two Interactive Software Inc., the maker of the “Grand Theft Auto” video games, sued Apogee Software Ltd.’s 3D Realms over the failed development of a sequel to the “Duke Nukem” game called “Duke Nukem Forever.”Take-Two, owner of the publishing rights to the game, said Apogee breached an agreement to design the latest installment of Duke Nukem, a game in which the player “shoots” enemies. The new version has been under development since 1997, the company said yesterday in a complaint in a state court in Manhattan. 3D Realms, which was based in Garland, Texas, never produced the game and instead closed its studio on May 6, terminated development of the game and fired employees who had been involved in the Duke Nukem project, Take-Two said. “Apogee continually delayed the completion date for the Duke Nukem Forever,” Take-Two said in the complaint. “Apogee repeatedly assured Take-Two and the video-gaming community that it was diligently working toward competing development of the PC Version of the Duke Nukem Forever.” Take-Two said in 2000 it had an agreement with Apogee and paid $12 million for publishing rights to the forthcoming game. In 2007, the two companies entered into a second agreement. The case is Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. v. Apogee Software Ltd. 601457/2009, New York State Supreme Court, New York County (Manhattan). Quote
Toadofsky Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 “Apogee continually delayed the completion date for the Duke Nukem Forever,” Take-Two said in the complaint. “Apogee repeatedly assured Take-Two and the video-gaming community that it was diligently working toward competing development of the PC Version of the Duke Nukem Forever.” Take-Two said in 2000 it had an agreement with Apogee and paid $12 million for publishing rights to the forthcoming game. In 2007, the two companies entered into a second agreement. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." That's all that needs to be said. Quote
1337 1 Posted May 15, 2009 Posted May 15, 2009 "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."That's all that needs to be said. More like "Its DNF; I'm a bloody idiot" Quote
lazygecko Posted May 15, 2009 Author Posted May 15, 2009 That news is being twisted around a bit. 3D Realms never got any money from them, the $12 million went to buying out Apogee and the publishing rights to DNF were part of that package. The 2007 deal was that 3DR would get a bonus if they finished DNF early. Quote
Necrotic Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Leave it to the rumour mill to completely blow everything out of proportion, right? 3D Realms is NOT closing down. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3174278 Quote
Gario Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Good, DNF can still hit that 33 year mark of production - Jesus was born, lived, died and rose from the dead (for those that believe it), changing the faith of a multitude of people before DNF could hit the shelves... I will wait patiently for that mark. After all, it only has 21 years to go - it's more than a third of the way there! Quote
lazygecko Posted November 30, 2009 Author Posted November 30, 2009 http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/61407 Update: Our community member JobivanHiob, who is a Facebook friend of Scott, has confirmed that Miller created the fan page, and that he shared a viewing of an unknown trailer with former 3D Realms employee Jeron Moore. Scott also posted a message on his Facebook saying that "the trailer rocks"--we don't know what trailer he's is talking about, and we still have no information on the origin of the "D-Day" image, but we'll update this news item with details as/if they become available. In the meantime, we're wondering if this might have anything to do with the "big and unexpected" announcement. Always bet on Duke. Quote
Doulifée Posted November 30, 2009 Posted November 30, 2009 What's REALLY sad here is that, given 13 years, a dedicated fan effort could easily have produced something playable & commercially viable by now, that could have been marketed with compensation to those involved. We could have done the music. It could have been beautiful. no one for a Duke Nukem Forever Rest In Peace Album project then? Quote
