Even if 3D Realms does not exist, somebody will have the franchise rights and we will see another Duke Nukem game in the future.
It might not be Duke Nukem Forever and if it isnt hopefully somebody comes out with some sort of literature about what happened with it. I think it would be very interseting.
Sucks. I knew DNF was a bunch of baloney, but I did hope for another DN game at some point. I actually went back and finished DN3D on PC a couple weeks ago. I got so nostalgic, it brought a tear to my eye.
But let's face it, Duke Nukem had been dead for a decade- dead as soon as it didn't come out inside two years. It belonged to a past era of computer games; it was a rival to the likes of Doom, for God's sake. It's whole sustaining premise was the 'adult' material, beyond that it had absolutely nothing to offer any more. Once Half-Life came out, the idea that a new Duke Nukem game could really be such a big deal, objectively (as opposed to nostalgically) speaking was a dead one, and the FPS genre has only galloped on by further leaps and bounds since.
Studio or no studio, the actual concept of the 'awesome DNF game' was never going to see reality. And in that respect- perhaps better that the attempt never comes.
