Nice. Hey, did you ever reserve your preorder copy of DNF? You might have saved about $10 if you did it back when it was first announced (what with the recent price increases in games and all).

Selling crack. And lots of it. Seriously though, I think royalties or whatever from the Max Payne series i where the money comes from. How it lasted 10 years is beyond even my imagination

New York, NY – April 26, 2005 – 2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), and 3D Realms today announced Prey, a revolutionary first person shooter for PC and a next-generation console system in development at Human Head Studios, under the direct supervision of 3D Realms.
“The initial concept for Prey had been incubating for a while, waiting for the right opportunity to come along,” said George Broussard, President of 3D Realms. "We jumped at the chance to create this game with a talented developer like Human Head Studios and next-generation technology like the Doom 3 engine."

Scott Miller, CEO of 3D Realms, added, "Prey is special for many reasons, including several new and original gameplay features and a tightly integrated story that packs an emotional punch, unlike other first person shooters."

“Our collaboration with 3D Realms has been enormously rewarding,” added Timothy Gerritsen, CEO of Human Head Studios. “With their help, Prey is sure to breathe new life into the first person shooter genre with a compelling story, innovative gameplay mechanics and dazzling imagery, which is powered by our significantly enhanced version of id Software's original Doom 3 engine.”

Prey will be exclusively showcased at this year’s E3 Expo by ATI in a movie theater-style exhibition. For the world exclusive first details on the game, look for PC Gamer’s June issue featuring Prey as its cover story, arriving on newsstands in early May. Prey is currently scheduled for a 2006 release.

So the game they announced before DNF is back. Who wants to bet it gets done before DNF? :lol:

I dont like making bets I know Im going to lose :p

It will be out before DNF because its being developed by someone OTHER than 3dRealms.

And the Amazon release date of this December is confirmed to be false:

I have a dream. That one day my children will get to play DNF while I wither away on my deathbed.

Apparently, they found time to patch Crystal Caves and Secret Agent Man:

These games were released in 1991 and 1992. Are they just looking for other stuff to do besides finish DNF?

Some key components of the game are finished.........

While not directly related, it's interesting what researchers have been able to do with Duke Nukem. Apparently, they used it to help prove that the mind processes directions while asleep:

Good to know somebody's doing something with the francise while the 3D Realms guys are masturbating over the sprite strippers
