A sad day in gaming history

[The Origonal Head Hunter]

Duke Nukem: Never Announced.

What one day might have been the greatest game of all time will never see store shelves.

Seriously?

i remember playing most of the old Apogee/3DRealms games when i was young, they were a major part of my gaming past.

this is like having a relative you haven't heard from in years, just suddenly up and die for no reason. this sucks. :'(

Bye bye Apogee

Apogee is still around, and they're still releasing Duke Nukem trilogy on the DS (which has the best E3 trailer of all time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6K00DCK1l98 ). It's just 3D Realms who is made of epic fail.

Seriously?

It's what happens when you spend 12 years developing a game?
