Did 3D Realms really lose the Bombshell IP ?

[Tayzor Azul]

I read somewhere that they no longer hold the rights to Bombshell.
Is that true ? Will they ever plan on recovering it so that we may get a sequel or a patch ?

[Lunick]

But.... Ion Maiden is a part of the Bombshell IP

[Jellopie]

Might be thinking of Duke Nukem, which was sold to Gearbox. Bombshell belongs to 3D Realms, as far as I know. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

1) 3D Realms owns the Bombshell IP.

2) You don't have to worry, if the Bombshell IP is ever transferred, that won't affect our license.

^This.

You may be thinking of how Interceptor went through bankruptcy. The outcome of those proceedings was that 3D Realms recovered the full Bombshell IP and game.

Oh so you guys recovered it. That is good news.
I was afraid this IP will end like SiN did. :'(( Rest its soul.

So this means that the next patch for bombshell is still being worked on, I hope. :)

I really hope but I still do not know what is the problem with the game ?
I mean is it broken at a certain point ?

We never actually lost it.
It's a bit complex - 3D Realms always owned the IP, while Interceptor owned the actual game code.

Once Interceptor folded, and Slipgate was born, the rights to the Code itself, went to the administrator of the bankruptcy.

We simply bought the code back.

Glad to hear it.
For a moment I thought you guys ended like Ritual Entertainment, god I miss SiN, wish they were still around to remake the original and continue the episodes or to give us a proper SiN 2.
I really miss these 90's trash talking action characters.

I too miss SiN. Played the hell out of that back in the day and actually played some fun MP with my buddies at one point. Good times...

Wait hold on a moment now....So if Slipgate Studios already bought the Bombshell game code (Intellectual Property related stuff),Does that means that the console versions of the Original Bombshell game might be finally coming out?If so then probably not anytime soon since they're busy helping THQNordic with Rad Rodgers for now....Anyways im confused as hell here since we're talking 3 companies here,One of which got completely rebranded and so on and so forth.....

All in all id say lets just wait for Voidpoint to finish their work on Ion Maiden so we can expect more Bombshell awesomeness from 3D Realms and Slipgate in the future eh?

I really want that legendary patch 1.3 that I keept hearing about on the internet.

I'm hoping at somepoint they'll be able to get both games on consoles as some 2-in-1 package, console users are usually too cash strapped for a decent computer (an not good wth a mouse) but this way they can still experience the game.

I know People hate on 4eva, but actually i really did enjoy it. It might not meet my expectations which i had...mostly due the long developingtime but overall (for me) it was an solid classic shooter, and enjoyed it way more than any Campaign which Call of Duty or Battlefield mainbranch offered...
