As much as I'd love to see Duke Nukem Forever actually happen I wouldn't want another company doing it though. Every Duke game not made by 3d Realms was terrible.

If not then I guess myself and shacknews is wrong. Either way you should think before you speak.http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/58580

I mean I have been working for like a very long time and on rare occassions does anyone get paid in advance for work that will be completed. I can get an advance on my paycheck.....oh, but wait then again they hold a week or more worth of pay at one job so that kind of is a security blanket....meaning that since they hold a weeks worth of pay, they are not really putting up any money or funding. As for 3D Realms and take two, publishers rarely put money up for a developer to make a game. Why don't you ask Alan Lewis (this would be take twos VP of corporate of communications and public affairs) Here is the linkhttp://games.on.net/article/5831/3D_Realms_Closes_Duke_Nukem_disappears_foreverAlan Lewis: "It is the Company's policy to not comment on its contractual relationships, nor do we comment on rumors and speculation. That said, we can confirm that our relationship with 3D Realms for Duke Nukem Forever was a publishing arrangement, which did not include ongoing funds for development of the title. In addition, Take-Two continues to retain the publishing rights to Duke Nukem Forever." (this was taken from the above link word for word)I've said it before, and I'll say it again, think before you speak. People want to criticize games because they are lacking this or lacking that. Obviously you have never played a Duke Nukem game, because if you had you would have appreciated the fact that it was a "COMPLETE" game. It wasn't none of this developers rushing out and just dropping something out just so it sells...think every NEED for Speed after Need for Speed:Most Wanted. We complain when we feel we have been jipped (or ripped off) when we buy a game and it lacks. Then people want to complain when it takes TOO LONG for a game to come out. I would rather the GAME take LONGER to come out and have the bugs worked out and be a COMPLETE game that I ENJOY, rather than a RUSH job that got it to a store shelf to SELL.I'll admit 12 years is a long time for development, at the same time you have to keep in mind that As far as Duke Nukem goes, that is their bread and butter, their cash crop (Duke Nukem meant so much to them that is why they had their floor done with the Duke Nukem Symbol). 3d Realms only wanted the best for their character and their fellow fans and gamers. 3D REALMS was doing what they did best...They were only going to bring out the biggest, baddest, most wise-crackin shooter of all times out, it was a game that was going to be so revolutionary that it would again set standards WHERE GAMES SHOULD BE AT. Also at the same time as technology became better they had to start over from scratch so it did not appear "outdated".I'll ask again, please think before you speak, or atleast do the research so you can atleast act like you know what you are talking about. Just for the record it is hard to cut funding when none has been provided.

Quit attacking me fanboy.Also Duke Nukem was one of the first 3D games besides Doom that i played. To me Duke Nukem 3D was one of the best games ever made but after all the *** 3D realms pulled i stopped supporting the series.

The only chance we will see Duke Nukem forever is if 3D realms lets another company develop the game kinda like what they did with prey.
