:weep: i used to love some of their stuff.

buh...buh...buh...buh...but how will i now get my duke nukem forever? :weep:

 

[Ryan Callan]

Apparently Take Two still own the rights to Duke Nukem Never.

Crying shame 3D Realms have gone, but maybe they should have brought Duke Nukem out quicker and they would still be alive today.

all i'm saying is this: laser trip bombs....

the ultimate fps weapon, never to be repeated.... :sadtimes:

 

[Mark Birney]

Geez, I hope the guys get picked up by another company. Hate for them to lose jobs. Duke Nukem is a great game, and the character is awesome:terminator: Real shame

Free Radical were lucky, I believe they were bought up by a bigger company.

 

[Gareth Hickling]

Yep Crytek bought free radical out, Crytek is ofcourse the developer of the Cry engine that ran Farcry and the current engine was used for Crysis.

did tehy not stop developing Wolfenstein after returne to castle wolfenstein (RTCW)
cuz SplashDamage was already developing Wolfenstein Enemyterretory and last i heard they was on Wolfenstein 3 ??

 

[Chris Buchanan]

DNF or Duke Nuke Whenever as we call it is never coming... And Take Two owns the rights to DISTRIBUTE the game.

Also of note. Laser trip mines were great but proximity mines were so much better, especially in Stack on Goldeneye. And finally there's the Bottlecap mines in Fallout 3.

Just saying

 

[Neil Tennant]

its time to kick ass and chew bubble gum......

 

[Gareth Hickling]

I spent many hours fragging my mates in 4 player battles in goldeneye on the N64. ahh the days.

 

[Christopher Aponte]

I thought Id Software developed wolfenstein and or for sure return to castle wolfenstein
(with splash damage: wolfenstein: enemy territory)

but shame....really shame because they said at least a month ago they said that they reached a milestone on the game development.

oh well
HAIL TO THE KING BABY :terminator:
sorry had to do it
