Now that 3D Realms has closed down all the goodies that are left of the "forever vaporware" game have been leaked. Slashdot had up some stuff. Check it out:

"It seems that while 3D Realms is dead, some new footage has been leaked of Duke Nukem Forever." 3D Realms posted a brief good-bye to their website, and two of the developers have hosted screenshots and concept art from DNF on their personal blogs. Also, for those who haven't seen it yet, there's an entertaining list of things that have happened during DNF's development cycle."

Well now all the jokes about DNF being like GW2 is totally true. We just have to wait till ANet do their goodbye.

Also, lol, DNF is 'did not finish' in most car racing, which is even more hilariously fitting now that DNF will never be a game.

"World War II and the entire Manhattan Project. Yes, even the complete development of the atomic bomb took less time."

I lol'd at this.

Was an interesting read. Killed some time.

I still don’t regret what 2K Games did to 3D Realms. If they were losing major profits (in the millions) over this 12 year mess, then I basically I have to agree with their actions. Of course I feel bad about those working under management for all these years loosing their jobs now. However after George’s little stunts of talking crap because of his inflated ego (even towards 2K Games), and going behind 2K’s back to find a new funding through other publishers was uncalled for (unless 2K agreed with it).

After realizing 2K Games could bring back the nostalgia quicker with something like Bioshock (via System Shock), they probably had it. The Joke went to far for them to handle; so yeah, it became personal.

EDIT: I like to add more of those screenshots and other stuff, that was released by former 3D Realms employees.

Plot Details and here
Screenshots and more

To me it still does not make a bit of a difference. How many engines did they burn through before they were finally closed down?

EDIT: Sorry, it seems Shacknews is constantly changing it’s format on some of those pages. So something’s I had to rearrange by their direct URL.

Ok 3drealms is a self-mockery, Broussard should never work in the game industry again.

Take2 does have some very good intellectual property with the DN franchise. I'd like to see them farm out development to a proven group, like Valve or Bioware (sigh....Monolith would have been **perfect**), to resurrect the franchise.

We need to form a Duke Nukem Forever religion. We have no proof, it's been foretold for years, there's no solid evidence that it WILL ever come out. But we'll all believe anyway.

DUKE NUKEM FOREVER WILL BE RELEASED ONE DAY.

The second coming of Jesus will be the same day DNF is released.

MY FRIENDS, IT WILL COME, AND IT WILL EXPLODE OUR MINDS.
