![]() As far as we know, there is no team working on the development of the game, and George Broussard is away in Vegas playing poker and posting about his gambling on Twitter.Īlso, there appears to be a contradiction with new DNF screenshot releases and George's claim that their legal disputes prevent them from being able to even talk about the game. ![]() I think it's interesting to note that 3D Realms (namely co-founder/CEO Scott Miller) has continued to release DNF screenshots on Duke's Facebook (see news below) amongst the turmoil noted above. Visit Shacknews for uninteresting details on the drama in addition to court document scans. The advance is due to be paid back by 2012.ģD Realms claims that it continues to work on the development of DNF without a contractual deadline for delivering the game to Take-Two however, Take-Two writes that the "law implies a reasonable deadline for the completion of contractual performance where no deadline is explicitly set forth in the contract." 3D Realms wanted Duke Begins to be out by mid-2010 so they would be able to repay an advance of $2.5 million they received from Take-Two for the development of DNF.

Scott Miller has also mentioned that there are a number of iPhone games coming out, including the just released port of Duke Nukem 3D. We all know about the ongoing lawsuit between 3D Realms and Take Two concerning Duke Nukem Forever and Duke Begins. Since 3D Realms let their internal development team go, there have been a number of news stories about the company and its subsequent actions.
