Duke Nukem Forever Due This Year? 251
nz17 writes "Under the original deal, 3D Realms was to receive some $6 million from Take-Two to develop the title. Now the Texas-based developer will receive only $4,250 for the oft-delayed game when it is completed. Just the same, 3D Realms has a fairly large incentive to get Duke Nukem Forever done by the end of the year; Take-Two has offered the studio $500,000 in the form of a promissory note if the game sees commercial release by December 31, 2006."

Unlike Microsoft, the DNF folks have been consistent. They haven't changed their stance over several years....

Guys! Don't you know? The only reason they took so long developing it is because they had to recode the whole thing for its exclusive release for the Infinium Labs Phantom! [phantom.net]
Duh!

It's pretty bad to go from $6 million in development to $4,250.
unless of course after 10 years, 3 engines and a lot of emberassed execs, $4,250 is all they have left of the initial $6 million.

DNF will ship. Who knows how good it will be, or what condition it will be in. They can make money after the fact with expansions.
But will you have the system to handle DNF? I have a pre-market copy of the DNF box right here ... let's see .... MS-DOS 6.22 (Windows 3.11 users will need to exit to DOS), 32MB XMS memory (HIMEM), 100MB free space on hard drive.
