Yeah TerminX deleted the thread that gave a bunch of info on gearboxes upcoming Duke 3D project. Then he also tweeted them saying this after it.



If they don't want to work things out then they are just jerks but legally gearbox has every right to go after that contract and protect the newly gained property. 3d Realms is the one to blame for all of this and they're not even involved in it :/ The Duke Nukem mass destruction game aka Bombshell is what did all this. I also think Scott Miller (the one who signed the contract) and Randy have had issues for years and this is just another battle that Randy wants to win. Hopefully they can work out a deal for a new contract. The fact that 3DR has said nothing at all makes me think things. Anyways, there all making mistakes on all sides and being kind of stupid.

Here is my messages to all parties (hopeful they see someday hehe)
Gearbox: Shut up and let us love and make Duke games and release a damn editor with the new game. Stop bullying people and being assholes.
3D Realms: Give it up Duke is not yours you only made matters worse. 
Eduke32: Swallow some pride and sign an NDA then try to work things out with Gearbox. Do not leak things that they showed/told you.
Duke Nukem: Sorry man your current and past owners have screwed you multiple times.

Even this mod looks nice, and can be cool how to DN3D remake can be look.

But one thing. Why gearbox never want or can't, make earlier idea about DNF from 2001 (best one for me)

They could do this now since they own the entire ip. Have you heard of this though NFS? http://www.moddb.com/mods/duke-nukem-forever

I think the reason there not going after 3D Realms is because this contract was signed before they lost all of the Duke rights. So there not in the wrong there since when they did sign that it was there property. But now 3D Realms has nothing to do with Duke and 3D Realms already got sued and lost all rights to Duke including Duke 3D and everything related to Duke they had a fat bill to pay also. The reason for going after TerminX is because he is the one trying to make profit off Duke Nukem this time 3D Realms won't even see a penny if the HTTK android releases its all on eduke32 team.

3D Realms isn't going to step in this storm and say "the contract is valid or non valid" there done for when it comes to Duke. If they do decide to voice in on it then that's when Gearbox will go after 3DR again. Otherwise there not even a spec in this situation anymore. 3d Realms is totally irrelevant when it comes to Duke now.

So the real question is why isn't 3D Realms defending TerminX against Gearbox when he says the contract is valid? Its probably because once they do they give access to Gearbox and then they will be included in this case and take another fall and probably be shut down completely.

I also wouldn't be to sure that eduke32 is totally safe. Gearbox owns Duke Nukem in full including Duke 3D and they have money and lawyers and ways to get what they want. Plus the new Duke 3D Gearbox is working on is going to make old con and map files not work with it. There will be a new con and map file layout that will cancel out existing mods and only work for new.

Yeah that level was awesome Duke and yeah I don't think there is cross platform mp though that would be a nice idea.

What about the lone ranger series / movies?

Was there a series and movie also for this one? Sounds cool.

Well I have noticed a few people mentioning Shadow Warrior so I thought we could put its own thread on here then we can share and discuss things about this IP.  I for one am a big fan of these games. We also know that there is a new one coming in fall. I can't wait for this game I have a feeling its going to be pretty great. But my favorite Shadow Warrior is of course the classic version. Lets share and discuss somethings about it like news, updates, general topics, and also of course some user maps for the classic version.
