Hail to the King Baby: 3DRealms sends Duke Nukem Forever to retirement.
By now you’ve probably heard that 3D Realms has unfortunately decided to shut its doors. Duke was getting ready to Kick Ass & chew bubble gum, but it seems he’s all outta gum
If you grew up with Secret Agent, Commander Keen, Wolf3D, Doom, Duke and moved onto Duke 3D (and quite possible Dark Forces) you’ll know why Duke Nukem had a huge fanbase. It was an epic engine that blew away the Doom’ers that was powered by The Build engine (written by Ken Silverman – who’s also born on 1st November – w00!).
So heres some images and videos from what would have been – as you will be able to see, one kick-ass games to come out (12 years in the making). Beats waiting for DrDre’s Detox comeback album.
The casino scene which looks insane.
All are from Duke4.net a fan site. For the full plot and concept art – including high resolution images of in-game footage, checkout IGN’s coverage. Duke mate, RIP. We will miss you.
