...Says Game Exec!

Quote:

...in a recent interview with the gaming media, 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller said that Duke was not dead at all; in fact, he suggested that the famous character -- known for his tongue-in-cheek humor and alien blasting -- could make a re-appearance in the new decade. "The next few years should see a strong resurgence in Duke," Miller noted.
Interesting read.

cheers ...

Not a joke.



The WSJ news story

Quote:
The game is being finished by Gearbox Software and will be published by Take-Two Interactive, maker of the “Grand Theft Auto” series. The game is being shown to consumers and the press for the first time at a video game convention today. Gearbox hopes to release the game next year.

[...]

According to Pitchford, Gearbox began finishing “Duke Nukem Forever” in late 2009. “Clearly the game hadn’t been finished at 3D Realms but a lot of content had been created,” he says. “The approach and investment and process at 3d Realms didn’t quite make it and it cracked at the end. With Gearbox Software we brought all those pieces together. It’s the game it was meant to be.”

That means that the game will be a sequel to Duke Nukem 3D and will have both single player and multiplayer. “Aliens come and say they’re going to be our friends and Duke knows this isn’t going to work out,” Pitchford says. “Duke once again is in the pivotal spot and its up to him to save the world.”

The game is currently expected to ship in 2010 although given it’s history Pitchford is understandably reluctant to be more specific. “We’re in the polishing phase now. This is a game where we can not make a promise we can not fulfill,” he says. “We need to get past the shock and awe and then we can go to all the retailers and first parties and work out a launch plan.”

Haha about time. Looks like it's on it's way to becoming the next roger ramrod instead. Time to get out your 486 and 56k and see if it installs.

A fan-made version of Duke Nukem 3D, code-named Duke Nukem: Next-Gen, powered by Unreal Engine 3 has received a non-commercial licence to proceed with its development. Project lead Frederik "Fresch" Schreiber has started assembling a team of other contributors thanks to Gearbox's openness of sharing the franchise with the community.

The Public release of the multiplayer demo of the game will soon be released, but the first in-game footage has been posted to youtube
