Your Quarterly Reminder That Duke Nukem Forever Exists

3D Realms is still plugging away at Duke Nukem Forever, with a playable version being shown off to the crew from Shacknews that serves as a helpful reminder that Duke Nukem Forever exists. After witnessing "a good half hour" of gameplay and environments from the perennially late first-person shooter, the response was measure and largely free from overhype.

"We both confidently agree that after seeing this demonstration, Duke Nukem Forever is looking great, and will easily stand apart from the crowd in both visual and gameplay styles," writes Shacknews' Steve Gibson. Not going to be stamped on a box in a big, bright, all-caps pull quote, but better than nothing. Maybe?

Prey 2 Concept Art Revealed [Update]

ShackNews reports that "IP incubator" Radar Group has published two bits a piece of concept art for the upcoming sequel to sorta lackluster Native American-meets-alien shooter Prey.

The art, ShackNews reports, was accompanied by this plot summary: "This time, abandoned and framed for the disappearance of his family, Tommy escapes an Earth that no longer wants him for a future that cannot survive without him."

Hitting up the Radar Group site, there is no sign of art or text, or anything besides a logo with a link to an email address and neither Human Head nor 3D Realms have the art or summary up either. Shack reports that Prey 2 will be coming to the PC and Xbox 360.

Prey 2 Details, Concept Art Emerge [Shack News]

Update: Someone from Radar Group contacted me to let me know that one of the two bits of art Shack was showing as concept art, the one I posted here, was from the original game, not Prey 2. Word is that official news will be coming next week, perhaps as early as Monday and will include a press release and more art.

3D Realms Respond To Copyright Infrigement Claims

So yesterday, we learned a couple of guys nobody had ever heard about were suing 3D Realms for copyright infringement. They reckon a game idea they pitched to 3D Realms was turned down, only to then be used by the company a couple of years later. Well, 3D Realms are having none of it. Posting on the Shacknews forums, 3D Realms' CEO Scott Miller said "I can't say much, this is a legal matter". Then goes ahead and says a lot more.

Basically, when you run a high profile business, there will always be people looking to win the lottery by trying to leech of your success.

3D Realms Sued For Copyright Infrigement

No, they're not being sued over DNF. This kerfuffle's over their upcoming sci-fi shooter Earth No More. 3D Realms are being taken to court by Cinemagraphix Entertainment, who claim that in 2005 they shopped around the concept for a sci-fi game called Earth No More. One of the companies they pitched it to was 3D Realms. They passed, thanks, but then in June 2007 announced a sci-fi shooter called...Earth No More. Co-incidence? Cinemagraphix don't think so, and in January filed for damages, including $150,000 and a share of the game's profits. They claim 3D Realms have pinched not just the name but the premise and concept art as well, stating that their concept and the in-development shooter are "virtually identical in substance".

New (Miniature) Duke Nukem Forever Screen

In an continuing effort to show that 3D Realms is actually doing something all day other than The New York Times crossword puzzle, a new Duke Nukem Forever screenshot has surfaced over at the Dallas Business Journal. In case you forgot, the DBJ got caught in that imbroglio with 3D Realms over when exactly Duke Nukem Forever is getting released. (Hint: Hell? Icicles?) Anyway, pull out those microscopes for a teeny-tiny look at what 3D Realms is working on.

Listen to The Duke Nukem Forever Clusterfuck

Remember when The Dallas Business Journal reported that 3D Realms' honcho Scott Miller said Duke Nukem Forever was finally getting a release date? This year even! But then 3D Realms' George Broussard said this was just "confusion" about what was "off the record"? Almost as funny as Duke Nukem Forever finally coming out! 3D Realms honcho Scott Miller says this about The Dallas Business Journal:


Quite simply, they are lying bastards and they know it.

Tangy! Stephen Webster, who penned the original article, says he stands by it — as did the whole 41-paper American City Business Journals Network. He also said, "We are not liars." Okay dookey. But what did Miller actually say?

The Dallas Business Journal has posted a sound clip from the interview. The exchange goes:

3D Realms Try To Sweep 2008 DNF Date Under The Rug

Poor Dallas Business Journal. Earlier today, they published an interview, in which 3D Realms tell them Duke Nukem Forever is headed for a late-2008 release. Cue internet celebrations! Except at 3D Realms. See, they're not used to dealing with "mainstream" press. Just gaming press. And obviously weren't under the impression the DBJ were going to print everything they were told. In a statement issued on 3D Realms' forums, George Broussard says:
In what appears to be an unfortunate turn of events, there seems to have been some confusion between what was 'off the record' and what was not. I suppose we're used to dealing with gaming press and not mainstream press. Lesson learned.

Confirmed: Duke Nukem Forever Coming in 2008, 3D Hitting XBLA

In a series of emails with the Dallas Business Journal, 3D Realms' President Scott Miller confirmed all sorts of news about the Duke Nukem franchise of games. (We wish that anything "confirmed" about Duke Nukem didn't just make us giggle at this point.)

First and foremost, the elusive Duke Nukem Forever is slated for a late 2008 release. As for platforms, Miller explains:

We haven't formally announced any platforms for DNF...But, of course hitting the big three makes the most sense (PC, PS3, 360).
As for rumors of an XBLA version of Duke Nukem 3D, those are now looking pretty legit.

Rumor: Duke Nukem Coming To XBLA In Mere Months

We've been hearing rumors of an Xbox Live Arcade port of Duke Nukem 3D for many, many moons now. According to a report from IGN today, the long moon-watching wait may soon be over, as "sources close to 3D Realms" are pointing to a Duke Arcade release within the next several months. That XBLA remake is also said to come equipped with 4-player online co-op and 8-player deathmatch. Sounds good to us. We know that something has to pay the electric bill at 3D Realms while the final decade of spitshine is applied to Duke Nukem Forever.

Duke Nukem Forever Teaser Trailer

What will we do when Duke Nukem Forever is actually released? Akin to the Rapture, many had faith that the day would one day come—a faith so based on faith and faith alone—as opposed to one based upon eye-witnessed miraculous tech demos. So when that day does eventually come, it will be a surprise even to the most devout believers, a feast for the entire corporeal kingdom of man.

Duke Nukem Forever Trailer Hits Tomorrow

This just in from George Broussard over on the 3D Realms Forums:

"Last Saturday we had our annual company Christmas party. It was a lot of fun as usual but it featured one special surprise. It turns out that several people had been secretly working late nights and into the wee hours of the morning preparing a special video for those at the party. They created a short teaser for Duke Nukem Forever.

After seeing the teaser we thought it was something we should share with all of you and while it's just a teaser, rest assured more is coming.

Tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th, around noon CST, we will release the first teaser trailer from Duke Nukem Forever. To tide you over until then, here is a screen shot taken from the teaser.

Thank you for being fans of the game and for your continued patience.

I'd like to thank the people on the team that worked so hard to create this teaser and the friends of 3DR that helped create it (Jeremy Soule and Julian Soule, Frank Bry, Jason Evigan and of course, Jon St. John)."

That's right, it's the end of times. Now translating that from 3D Realms Central Time that means we should be checking out the video around 2 p.m. Mountain, 2027.

Ten Years Ago: 3D Realms' Scott Miller

So, we're continuing the 'Ten Years Ago' archival interview series we started yesterday with Valve's Marc Laidlaw.

As I noted before: "I thought it might be fun to reprint highlights here on Kotaku, and compare and contrast them to what's happened to their careers since then - and how their statements have held up over time."

For the second instalment, let's check out a chat with 3D Realms' owner/partner Scott Miller, originally conducted in 1997 by me for Videogamedesign.com, and discussing Max Payne, Prey, John Carmack, and the Duke Nukem franchise. How did Scott's prognostications work out, a decade later? Let's see...

ESRB Responds to 3D Realms' Pouting

In mid-July, veteran game company 3D Realms of Duke Nukem Forever infamy received a notice from the ESRB threatening them with penalties if certain guidelines regarding ESRB guidelines weren't followed on the company's website. 3D Realms' Scott Miller was ticked off by the notice, and quite vocally so. The Hollywood Reporter spoke to ESRB Patricia Vance to get her side of the story.
""What 3D Realms received was simply a 10-day warning notice that did not carry any penalties whatsoever," she explains. "We're hardly the heavy-handed bullies that Mr. Miller is painting us as. Tough love might be a better way to describe it."

3D Realms Reveals Not Duke Nukem Forever, But Earth No More

The latest issue of Game Informer features an exclusive look at 3D Realms' newest game which is not Duke Nukem Forever. As promised by the company, the first of two game announcements that have nothing to do with DNF is for Earth No More, a shooter now in production at Recoil Studios and due to ship in 2009 for the PC, PLAYSTATION 3 and Xbox 360.

Duke Nukem Forever "An Industry Joke"

It's easy to take potshots at the long in development Duke Nukem Forever. But when 3D Realms' Scott Miller is actually humble and acknowledges that we're really start to not give a shit about DNF and that we're mostly enjoying it not actually shipping every year. More »

New, Single, Mini Duke Nukem Forever Screen

That's the latest media out of the 3D Realms camp, found on a job posting for a programmer at the Gamasutra Jobs site by Shacknews. Even more impressive than proof that the game still exists in some form other than a shoebox full of Zip disks, is confirmation from 3D Realms own George Broussard that the tiny pic is an "in game shot."
