Duke Nukem Forever Release on Dec. 31?

[Diso]

"Under the original deal, 3D Realms was to receive some $6 million from Take-Two to develop the title. Now the Texas-based developer will receive only $4,250 for the oft-delayed game when it is completed. Just the same, 3D Realms has a fairly large incentive to get Duke Nukem Forever done by the end of the year; Take-Two has offered the studio $500,000 in the form of a promissory note if the game sees commercial release by December 31, 2006."

Sounds cool. Haven't really played much of the duke nukem series myself.

 

Think its actually going to come out this year?

No, I would be lying if I said I was optimistic about its chances especially given how small the rewards have shrunk after all this time.

$500,000 has got to be only a tiny fraction of development costs at this point. Back when dnf was started, it might have been a decent amount of money.

[Shibathedog]

this game better be damn legendary when it finally does come out

Dec 31, 2049.......

Hahahaha! No. George Broussard has already said this means nothing.

 

Not to mention that half a mil probably wouldn't entice them to do anything since I don't think they're exactly hurting financially (though they are slowly being bled to death).
