The Duke kicking @ss in 2007?

Just read this rumor. Hope this is true

Quote:

Take Two has announced that it incurred a 50.2 million dollar loss in Q2 of this year but the company still seems to be backing a "winner" as it promised 3D Realms USD 500,000 if it delivers Duke Nukem Forever before December 31st 2006.

Take Two's earnings announcement makes no mention of the game but a 10-Q filing the company issued to the Security and Exchange Commission confirms that new negotiations between Take 2 Games and 3D Realms, regarding DNF, took place this March. The result was a change in the initial arrangement which called for a USD 6 million payment to the Texas based developer for the game. 3D Realms will, instead, receive just over USD 4,000 once the game is ready although we are certain that there is more to that deal.

The USD 500,000 bonus however, is unlikely to change current plans by 3D Realms, a company that has been toiling over DNF since 1997. Since there was no mention of the game during E3 2006 and 3D Realms is sticking to its When It's Done quote, we can only assume that the game will surface at some point in 2007. Duke Nukem Forever will be released for PC with an XBox 360 version rumored to be in development too.

Man if this is true it will be so MuthaFawckin sweet. Time will tell...

TRIGGER M4N · June 12th, 2006, 20:17

Yeah, lost interest, but $500,000 is a lot of money for a game that may end up being like DOOM!

Rival24 · June 12th, 2006, 20:34

Damn I want this game, to kick ass and chew bubblegum!

Studley · June 12th, 2006, 21:04

Have 3DRealms been working on anything else lately? I get the feeling that there's a real danger they'll rush the game out by the end of 2007, just to get their hands on that cash. Not that you can really accuse them of "rushing" anything that's taken ten years so far...

Curry · June 12th, 2006, 21:25

9 years, don't overestimate their efforts

MrMoen · June 12th, 2006, 22:48

Have no time to play with myself

Still, Duke Nukem Whenever, I dont expect it will be all that good. When there saying there still working on it for so long, I somehow get the picture in my head they have one guy as a development team, locked up in the basement who hasn't seen daylight in years.

And somehow you just know you're going to feel a deception after you completed the game in 5 hours.

I Allready feel cheap and used so bring on the game so I can play it for 5 hours straight. Even if it were just a port of duke nukem 3d with 640x480 resolution

Duke 3D was already playable in 640x480, and even 800x600 if i remember. I believe some fans created a windows launcher or something to play it in even higher resolutions and with decent network support. If you google around you'll easily find it, but you still need the original .grp file though.

But I want it on my 360

I have no PC. Have to go to the library to visit xboxic. I'm very poor and live in a box.

Besides, the PC doesn't give me the comfort of my couch and wireless controller and my sony bravia screenie..
I'll wait for the 360 version

Even if this means I'll have to wait 'forever'..

D4V360 · June 14th, 2006, 00:54

lol, thats sarcasm,
they know 3d realism aint comming with DNF this year so they tell them they WILL get 500.000 when they do. I can do that!
If the PS3 is coming before the end of this month I'll give all my posessions to sony!

"As for the 500k completion bonus, I don't even know were that came from," said the outspoken executive. "I do know that we never cared or asked for it, and I think it was just tossed in as part of some other agreement. We're certainly not motivated by that amount of money, after all this time, and getting the game right is what matters. I would never ship a game early (even a couple of months), for 500k."

Broussard went on to outline the current status of Duke Nukem Forever. "Our deal is simple," he said. "We're making the game. It'll be done when it's done. We've funded 99.999% of the game (aside from a very, very small advance from GT Interactive, years ago, before Take 2 bought the game from them). It's our risk, our necks and our gamble. Under the deal we should be earning royalties from about unit 30,000 or so (that's a real small number)."

Their necks on the line.... sure as hell, I'm not buying Duke Nukem Whenever when it comes out. There's more than enough games that were designed in the 21st century

So you're not buying Street Fighter, Pac-Man, Rootbeer tapper etc? Because they are also from the previous century

Nevertheless they're all good games... so if the Duke comes with a good game, I'll buy it. Don't care about the allmost 10 years of development. Let's just hope it's no daikatana

Ment to be a 'In-game' screen capture of the game.

BlimBlim (basically the media sister site of Xboxic - well, that's what I call it) was contacted by 3D Realms asking for 'HD Capturing equip.' People believe he getting video of it, but no-one knows really.

Rival24 · January 27th, 2007, 00:18

Yeah I've seen this picture pop up on various sites, Duke Nukem rocks

It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum.....

Zerodisorder · January 27th, 2007, 01:21

It seems to be about the same thing that went on with prey, given duke nukem has been a longer time coming, but prey was being developed before 98 and it came out on 360 last year and i think it looked great and played well for being in production for so long.
