On Duke Nukem's Future

3D Realms has "numerous" Duke Nukem games in the works, says Shacknews based on quotes from Gamesauce Magazine (presumably a print version, as there's not much online). "There are numerous other Duke games in various stages of development, several due out this year. We are definitely looking to bring Duke into casual gaming spaces, plus there are other major Duke games in production," says Scott Miller. "Almost all of these are unannounced." Miller also says that Duke Nukem Forever is still alive: "yes, we released the internal team, but that doesn't correlate to the demise of the project." They also pull a segment that explains how development of DNF was able to continue so long on the profits from other developers' games:

Duke Nukem 3D was made for $300,000, and we made back 25 times our investment--not to mention all of the third-party Duke console games that sold well. Plus, we made a killing with Wolfenstein 3D. And we made the biggest killing on Max Payne! We made $30 million in royalties on that game (off of a $2.5 million investment), plus another $48 million selling the IP to our publisher. Oh, and we were also part owners of Gathering of Developers when that was sold to Take2. And finally, we have been pretty lucky with other investments, both in the stock market and in other studios.

Did you not hear what the man said? He said he was making a prediction. He never said he was going to pirate anything. You were saying something about mental problems?

But with the current Internet "torrent infested world"... you can bet there's going to be a ton of people that will purposely pirate their "masterpiece" because of their bullshit. And I won't feel sorry for them, one damn bit. That's funny, because you act like you're 13 years old. Guess you've got some mental problems. Does your mommy know you're posting on bluesnews? You're not a consumer if you steal goods. You're a dishonest wretch who is hurting gaming for all of us. It's a shame that society has to deal with black holes in production such as yourself. My only hope is some day reality catches up with you.

It's just a damn shame that the gaming community has become so filled up with kids like you that think the games industry owes them something. Get over yourself. You are nothing, you apparently don't even pay for some games so you're not even a consumer. First of all, dipshit, I'm in my mid 40's.

If it ever does get released (which I doubt)... it will probably be the most pirated game ever. Mainly because almost nobody (besides a few hard-core idiots) wants to support them. So, who is going to be fucking sorry? #1. It was a joke. #2. It's pathetic you think people would pirate a game just because of this nonsense that has gone on for all this time. I don't know where you live or what kind of people you know, but that seems seriously strange to me. As if you take the politics of the game industry all too seriously, and you'd steal a game no matter what just because something about the developer irked you. It's just a damn shame that the gaming community has become so filled up with kids like you that think the games industry owes them something. Get over yourself.

Bad analogy. Duke existed. Good analogy I think, both are made up people and never walked the earth, only in made up books/games.

Is there a reason he is speaking out of his ass on a dead product and 10-20 year old games? yeah... it's called trying to spread enough BS to hopefully convince the Judge in the Take-Two lawsuit that the development "never ceased". I hope Take Two gets the IP, or these retards sell the whole shittery and settle with TT, and leave the industry.
