3D Realms Game Plans

FiringSquad's 3D Realms Q&A talks with Scott Miller about what's what at the developer, including possible sequels and an unannounced project:

We've already mapped out a sequel for Prey, from a high-level story standpoint, and of course as soon as Duke is done we'll begin a new one. We are also getting the ball rolling on an unannounced project, which has yet to be signed by a publisher.

I think there is a certain point in a game's development where it becomes over-developed. I think that timeframe is ~5 years; once it breaches that amount of time, what the developers end up doing is redesigning, reworking, retrofitting, tweaking, and a whole other bunch of buzzwords that basically leave them with a game seriously lacking focus, likely outdated in many areas and probably so bloated that even the developers themselves don't know what to do with it.

Creativity is a wonderful thing, but I think DNF shows just what happens to a game when you have a group of very creative people and nobody with a head for business; the creativity gets out of control and you end up with no end product.

With so much time spent on one game; is the engine more technically impressive than UE3? I highly doubt it. Will the gameplay be groundbreaking? I doubt that too. DNF will be a mediocre game that will be quickly forgotten like all the rest within a year of it's release. Hardcore fans will probably be pleased, everyone else will likely shrug their shoulders and move on.

Shame really, an utter waste of talent... think how many great games we *could* have had in that timeframe.
