Take-Two law suit reveals Duke Begins
Sure, Duke Nukem Forever may have been in development forever but it seems the guys over at 2K Games also had a Duke title in the works; Duke Begins.
This news comes to us as Take-Two attempts to get back some loans they gave to Apogee for the development of Duke Nukem Forever. Unfortunately, Apogee says that 2K Games put a stop to Duke Begins development in what Joystiq says is an attempt to gain the rights to the Duke Nukem franchise.
If there are any Duke Nukem hopefuls left out there you better keep your eyes peeled as there very well may be an onslaught of Duke news very soon.
Take-Two sueing Apogee over Duke Nukem Forever
It seems that the closure of 3D Realms ticked someone off over at Take-Two because they have recently announced they will be sueing the now debunk company over the unfinished Duke Nukem Forever.
Since 3D Realms is no longer around to take the wrath, Take-Two will turn to the brand’s creator, Apogee:
“Apogee continually delayed the completion date for the Duke Nukem Forever,” Take-Two said in the complaint. “Apogee repeatedly assured Take-Two and the video-gaming community that it was diligently working toward competing development of the PC Version of the Duke Nukem Forever.”
It doesn’t seem like Apogee has much of a counterarguement in this lawsuit but maybe Take-Two will put DNF in the hands of another developer and actually get the game out the door.
