2K Games has taken over production of DNF where 3d Realms has left off. Here's a live stream of the game being played at PAX. http://www.ustream.tv/2kgameslive
Correction. Gearbox, the creators of Borderlands, have taken over the project of DNF which is due for a 2010 release.
Both posts were technically correct. 2K Games is the publisher (well, Take Two is, but this will be under their 2K Games label). Gearbox is the developer. Though I think Gearbox somehow has the IP now if I'm not mistaken. But a correction in that the game is scheduled for next year, not 2010. PC, 360, and PS3. Early reports had it listed as 2010, but it must have been a mistake. Anyway, I didn't get a chance to check out much of the stream (which seemed pretty crappy anyway). Just read a bit online. Sounds nice though. Also hilarious, especially some of the stuff they showed behind closed doors. Looking forward to it.
Sorry for the double post, but this was too good not to post: http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2010/09/duke-nukem-pax/ (minor spoilers about the first level of the game...or the level they played, I'm not sure) Spoiler
Not quite DNF related... transcribing from my coworker...some guys decided to rewrite/redo Duke Nukem using the Unreal 3 Engine...with the publisher's praise. And, allegedly, it will be a free release. This clip doesn't show too much...just how a converted area from old DN looks in the new environment. I'm impressed...and will be super thrilled if it truly does come out for free. <object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bMjJL6SWs_U?fs=1&hl=en_US"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bMjJL6SWs_U?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object> edit: Here's a link to the official thread that talks about this project... http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=112564
It does look pretty good for something pretty early. Good to hear it has the support of Gearbox, T2, etc. A lot of good fan projects tend to get killed by game publishers (the good old "cease and desist!"), so this is a welcome change.
