I still find it hilarious that 3D Realms used 12 years on the game only to be closed down, then in swoops Gearbox and potentially finish it in two, maybe tree, years.Treflis

more like months but yeah..

no this is easily explained 3d realms FINISHED the game.. fully they just didnt have money to get it into a box.. at all

they couldnt hae sold them in paper leaflets online thats how broke they were.

Will this mean that 3D realms will earn a share of the profit, or is this rightfully and lawfully all of Gearbox's property now? I've been out of the loop concerning Duke's news.Elann2008

3d realms still gets a cut but they only get like 1/3-1/2 of it as opposed to before when they would get all of it

i think gearbox boguht the franchise so i doubt any $ goes to 3d realms, still they deserver it if its true they got so much money for development and ended up with half game in 12 years

It features stuff seen in the 1998 version though.

It's not an exaggeration at all. Development started in 1997.

Still 13 years is a lot, by any standards, even if at some point they stopped the development, they changed the engine (they made 3 engines iirc, going from - current standards -, bad, good, great looking, changed quite a few themes and went in different directions with it).

Something like Blizz and Diablo 3 (except the engine part), but they can afford to take their time to make a great game :P.

I've got this feeling that Bulletstorm will end up being the better game. I don't know if it's a bad or a good feeling.

Anyway it's an awesome year for FPS fans.

Sure because it's still breaking records, until they actually release it.

Last time they announced and organised an interview, a few months after, the game got canned and the developer had severe financial problems. One thing's for sure, even if hundreds of devs go under, the gaming world will never put the Duke to sleep.
