Apparently 2K Games has acquired the rights to Duke Nukem and will attempt to finish Duke Nukem Forever.

I sure hope they succeed where 3D Realms could not, we need a good FPS with a wise ass like Duke!

On Monday, April 28th, 1997, GT Interactive & 3D Realms both released
press releases regarding the next all new Duke Nukem game, entitled Duke
Nukem Forever. The first, from GT Interactive details the licensing of
the Quake II engine from id Software for use in the game, as well as
some other issues regarding Duke Nukem. The second, from 3D Realms,
details our reasons behind licensing the Quake II engine instead of
using our own Prey engine.

Pretty pathetic...

I liked Duke Nukem very much by the way. Loved the fact was a "talking" hero, instead of a mute one.

Me too! My favorite quip of his was "Let God sort 'em out." after you just killed a bunch of aliens in one shot.

Beware! Remember the lessons of the past: when a game stays in developpment for too long and is expected by 90% of the gamers' population to be some sort of magical crossover between lightsabers-wielding unicorns and giant robotized shark-wrestling lolcats, it generally turns out to be a bad game.
