I believe that even vending machines would be usable.
How many games today can boast that????!!!!!!!

“So all the bitter people who finally worked in that madhouse are going to come out to the media and tell us what the fuck they were doing all this time.”

Weren’t they addicted to Everquest and WoW?

Vin Diesel should come and fund the development and set them a deadline….

And kick Brussard in the face.

Duke 3D is more interactive than 98% of today’s games.

“progenitors of much that makes PC gaming great.”

You gotta be kidding me, they never done any adventure game or RPG or simulation, just action junk.

And on action games they’re neither the people behind Alien Breed or those crazy persons behind Chaos Engine. What’s apogee done? Didn’t they, with ID, start the downfall of serious gaming and pioneers of the age when 3d engines are more important than pure gameplay?

Seeing as it ends with the writer having the crap kicked out of him by four of the most public figures in gaming… I call fake. I mean really.

That’s a fake story written over a year ago, I posted a link on the other 3DR news.

RiptoR: Wait-wait-wait-wait-wait…

Wait a minute.

Is that shit for real???

I mean, all these years, all those rumours, the delays, the revamps, the different engines… Was it all orchestrated from the beginning?? They never intended to develop (forget about releasing) a real DNF after several years had passed and a batch of future engines no-one could even dream about were available?

Holy shit! That’s the actual relevant news, and not the presumed closure of 3D Realms…

@PJ: Blizzard, notoriously. But they do actually finish games. It seems 3DR lacked the ability to make the game they would be 100% happy with. Oh well.

Like most people, I’ve become pretty jaded of the whole thing and will be glad to see it put to bed. Whether thats from official abandonment of the project or just palming it off on another developer that will release a second rate game that we can all forget about (remember Daikatana?), it doesn’t matter.

It would be a great shame if the legendary game should officially disappear so ignominiously.

Would it? It would be kind of simple, nothing would have to change. Personally I just couldn’t care less.

I’ve been waiting for this to happen for ages.

Why? So all the bitter people who finally worked in that madhouse are going to come out to the media and tell us what the fuck they were doing all this time.
