Randy Pitchford, "Come Get Some".

Category: DNF
by RedSplat, on Fri Sep 03 2010, 10:57AM

It's Confirmed!
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.”

Machinima's 3DR History, DNF Gearbox Rumors

Category: DNF
by Yatta, on Thu Aug 12 2010, 01:39PM

Even if you've been waiting for Duke Nukem Forever... forever, you probably don't know about the early days of its creators, and the amazing rise to, and fall from, grace that they achieved.  Machinima's several-part video may interest all fans:


There's also a rumor going on at Kotaku that Gearbox (which developed Borderlands) has taken over working on Duke Nukem Forever:

Gearbox Software president Randy Pitchford declined to comment to Kotaku on the matter, indicating that he may be able to better clarify the situation further at this year's Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle.


At the end of the day, remember what we hinted.  Thanks to Olivier, Para-noir, udenrasse, and Jobi (who also found this) for the heads up!

Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project Review

Category: Console Duke
by Yatta, on Tue Jun 29 2010, 09:13PM

yatta_dnmp_thumb.jpgWe recently announced the Xbox Live Arcade of this 2002 classic--if you've never heard of DNMP before, you had better brush up with Wiki.

If you did in fact play DNMP back when it came out on PC in 2002, you would remember it as a run and gun side-scrolling classic.  DNMP was probably the best third-party Duke Nukem game ever made, and while Sunstorm Interative went under in 2003 as a result of financial and staffing-related issues, 3D Realms was able to retrieve the rights to the game in order to port it to the Xbox Live Arcade.

Read Our Full Review of DNMP for XBLA

A special thanks to TerminX, Mblackwell, and Dennis for helping with the revision of this review.

A Few Interesting Remarks by 3DR Founders & Fans

Category: DNF
by Yatta, on Tue Jun 29 2010, 07:00PM

Duke Nukem fan: Out of respect, I won't ask for details. But I simply want to know, are you feeling happy/sad/ecstatic/optimistic, considering that the court case is now over with?

George Broussard: It's bittersweet. We went though a lot that we didn't have to because of a publisher that was all too willing to use their legal team as a weapon.

Had we not crafted a creative solution to the suit, it could have drug on and on and things could have stayed in limbo much longer than they were and it could have been a lose-lose-lose situation for us, Take 2 and the fans.

Duke Nukem fan: [Is] DNF cancelled?

George Broussard: Two facts: We haven't said anything. The [3DR DNF] forum is still open.

Duke Nukem fan: Duke3D was my first video game. You and George are awesome, and so is the whole Duke community.

Scott Miller: Thanks Evan. Good news ahead this year...


Couple that with some fan speculation here [1], here [2], and here, and this becomes very interesting!

Commando Nukem says,

Set twelve years after the events of Duke Nukem 3D, Duke Nukem: The Series picks up with our titular character relaxing in his downtown Los Angeles apartment when the alien scum make a devastating return... and this time, it's personal!  We're hoping to have the first episode completed by mid-to-late summer. If anybody is interested in participating we need voice actors for key supporting roles, please send an email to: openmaw@gmail.com with the subject "Voice acting."

3D Realms and Take-Two settle!

Category: DNF
by yossa, on Fri Jun 11 2010, 03:45PM

Shacknews reports that the court case between 3DR and T2 is settled "with prejudice" as of May 14th, which means Duke Nukem Forever is cleared for release (as long as it's finished of course).
And here's the settlement on Shacknews.

Update: Voodoo Extreme was able to get ahold of George but only got a "no comment, sorry" from him.
Update #2: VE parent company, IGN brings us this quote from T2 rep, Alan Lewis:

We can confirm that the matter has been resolved, and the company is not providing additional details of the agreement

(Thanks, Jobi)

PS. So happy right now

Duke Nukem Manhattan Project Officially Coming to Xbox Live Arcade!

Category: Console Duke
by Yatta, on Thu May 27 2010, 12:47PM

6/11/2010 Update: The game (and free demo) will be out June 23rd for 800 Microsoft points!

We have had several news items in the past speculating on the release of DNMP to the Xbox Live Arcade.  Those rumors have now been confirmed as the official Xbox 360 website now as its own DNMP page.  Check it out: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/d/dukenukemmpxbla/



According to the page, the game runs at 1080p (that's a resolution of 1920x1080) but we'll see if this includes the game itself as opposed to just the menus.  The release date is still "to be determined."

Thanks for the heads up Para-noir!  And worry not--we're never closing.

New Map Release: Have Fun Storming The Castle

In case you missed it, Mikko at MSDN has posted a review of a new map by SalaciusCrumb of Starship Troopers TC fame. His new map "Have Fun Storming the Castle" requires DukePlus, and has the same sense of scale as SalaciusCrumb's other recent maps. Check out the review here.

Various Duke Nukem Updates

Category: Duke Nukem
by Yatta, on Fri May 07 2010, 09:10PM

Today marks the one-year anniversary from the time George Broussard's alleged failures led to the Duke Nukem Forever team bidding its farewell to the world.  Since then, news on Duke Nukem Forever has been scarce, and while fans remain enthusiastic about the game, many are disappointed and hungry for answers that 3D Realms founders Broussard and Miller refuse to divulge due to their ongoing lawsuit with Take-Two.

Despite all this, visitor activity on Duke4.net remains strong, and our forums continue to serve fans who are especially involved in modifications for Duke Nukem 3D and its Windows/Linux port, EDuke32 (authored by Duke4.net's very own TerminX)!

In other news, Duke fan Gerlof alerted us to his Grabbag Dance Mix which he authored late last year, but which went unnoticed until recently.  You can download an MP3 version of the mix here (9.28 MB).

Lastly, we have a message from the owner of one of our hosted Duke Nukem websites, Hendricks:

I just wanted to send you an FYI about some things I've just done.

First, I've released the second major versions of:

Duke: Nuclear Winter Plus
Duke Caribbean: Life's A Beach Plus
Duke Nukem 3D N64 Music Pack
Duke Nukem 3D Saturn Music Pack


They have threads in the Duke 3D forum listing changes and whatnot.

I've created a sticky thread with comprehensive installation instructions for all the Duke add-ons.

That's all the news for now, folks!

Signing off, but never giving up on Duke or Duke4.net...  Yatta.

3D Realms vs. Take-Two: The Showdown

Category: 3D Realms
by Duke Nukem, on Mon Apr 05 2010, 12:53AM

betallonduke_thumb.jpgWe don't normally post news items to accompany new polls, but tonight's is a special one.

For those that need some catching up--the story goes a little something like this:  In May of last year, Take-Two, which holds the publishing rights to Duke Nukem Forever, filed a breach of contract lawsuit against 3D Realms over George Broussard's alleged failure to deliver the game since development began in 1997.  Consequently, the fate of 3D Realms as an inhouse developer, and the fate of Duke Nukem Forever as a 3D Realms title now remain in question.

Now then, in our latest poll we ask the fans what they think will be the outcome of this lawsuit.  Will 3D Realms come out victorious, or will Take-Two reaffirm the alleged validity of this photo through a victory of its own?

As you ponder the answer to this question and contemplate voting, remember that our fragile democracy was secured by men who marched across their countries and traveled abroad to fight for it with their lives.  It is in the spirit of democracy and the endeavors of these brave souls that you, the fans, must exercise your right to vote.  We ask not that you go even across the street to the ballot (as you would during a political election)--no, kind sirs--we ask that you simply click the appropriate radio button in our poll box within the comfortable confines of your homes!
