    Yes, that is true. But still 3DR stated they'd be still developing the title without the original development team.

    Considering they spent 13 years and $20 million delivering nothing with an actual dev team, I doubt they've got any worthwhile contribution to make to the game without one.

    I don't see why 3DR deserve any sympathy at this point. If Take Two made off with the assets and the rights to publish the game without them, they've only got themselves to blame.

    The problem is, George Brussard always wanted new stuff into Duke and they lost the ball and that's why the game never got finished. So it would at least make sense to get someone like Gearbox to make a complete game out of the great work that has been done already.

    Thats what i'm saying as well, I just don't think that there is any point in getting 3DR involved if they don't have to. The people that are still there now are the management that kept making a balls up of the development, not the people that were actually trying to make the game.

    This game better not get finished. If it does, it means the apocalypse is nigh.

    I doubt it will be worth the wait.

    If/when it makes it out its either going to be very very excellent and will amaze us or, it will be the crappiest thing we've ever seen. There will be no in between for this game.

    Either way though, it will still be LEGENDARY. That's incentive enough to release it.
