C’est en anglais, mais pour résumer, peut importe les problèmes chez 3DRealm, et avec tout l’argent mis en jeu, le développement de Duke Nukem Forever n’est pas prêt d’être abandonné, l’idée d’un DUKE NUKEM THE MOVIE non plus et d’autre jeux sortiront également sur consoles.
Enjoy ^^
The next few years should see a strong resurgence in Duke," Miller states in the first printed issue of Gamesauce. "There are numerous other Duke games in various stages of development, several due out this year. We are definitely looking to bring Duke into casual gaming spaces, plus there are other major Duke games in production. Almost all of these [projects] are unannounced."
Interestingly enough, Scott also claims that works on Duke Nukem Forever and a Duke Nukem movie have not halted despite 3D Realms’ internal problems. Finally, he talks cash:
Duke Nukem 3D was made for $300,000, and we made back 25 times our investment–not to mention all of the third-party Duke console games that sold well. Plus, we made a killing with Wolfenstein 3D. And we made the biggest killing on Max Payne! We made $30 million in royalties on that game (off of a $2.5 million investment), plus another $48 million selling the IP to our publisher. Oh, and we were also part owners of Gathering of Developers when that was sold to Take2. And finally, we have been pretty lucky with other investments, both in the stock market and in other studios.
Granted 3DR had to lay off its internal development team, most of that money is probably gone.
