So, what now?

Is Duke dead?

FPS market is booming with retro shooters, but Duke is M.I.A.

No initiative to make a "DNF 2" or even a "Duke 3D 2" ?

Maybe"Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project 2". I want "Duke Nukem II 2" or "Duke Nukem 2" too. Side scrollers are good.

However, noone is doing anything with the franchise.

There used to be side-scrollers, FPS and TPS games, even pinball games, now there is exactly nothing.

YOu mentioned pinball but didn't mention Duke Nukem is in Pinball M

[MUSIC LASAGNA GAMER]

keep away from this game

If gearbox has anything to do with it I dont want it. Daikatana was a better game than this mess

You can't make a Duke Nukem game in current year, not in the mainstream anyway. It would get eviscerated if it didn't respect all the special snowflake ideologies.

Funny you say that. Visit the voice actor's social media accounts and you'll find that he's one of those snowflakes.

That's assuming they aren't currently locked/scrubbed. John likes going off on lefty rampages, gets owned and then locks his accounts for a bit while he nurses his bruised ego. He eventually unlocks them and does it all over again.

I wouldn't be at all surprised. Most Western voice actors have the left coast brain rot.

3D realms are making crap like iron fury now which is kinda directly opposed to dukes personality

3DR does not own the rights to Duke Nukem anyway.... The gearbox overlords do..... They could not make a duke game if someone else did the work. And if it turns out half as bad as DNF did I dont want it anyway.

I don't dislike Ion Fury, I just wish Bombshell looked like she used to, and that she would zipper her talkhole occasionally. Duke, Caleb and Lo Wang had some awesome lines and you'd hear them repeated, but they also shut up from time to time.

DNF is fine. I know some people dislike it but Gearbox acquired it in 2010 and the game was released in 2011. I heard they only finished off whatever's left that 3DR started (since 1997) and they took the blame.

I played Ion Fury, it's a generic 90s-style shooter that doesn't take itself seriously but just average in my opinion. They were trying to recapture the magic that Duke 3D brings, but just missed the mark.

The modding community pretty much takes over. Gearbox isn't going to do jack and all with Duke Nukem and are seemingly more content with letting it rot under its ownership. Might as well throw the I.P. out into the public domain at this point really.
