Duke Nukem Forever (scroll game)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Duke Nukem Forever was a side scroll game intended to do after the release of Duke Nukem 3D developed by 3D Realms. Sometime later, they announced te project was cancelled. CEO, Scott Miller quoted 3D Realms weren't going to make a Duke Nukem side scroll game because of the fact that those days the side scrollers games started to look old fashioned.

Later in 1997, they announced Duke Nukem Forever, a follow up of their Duke Nukem 3D. As Duke Nukem Forever have been in development hell since 1997, the release of Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project, a side scroller game, started a lot of controversy in the community of Duke followers. This might be because of the fact that the game was a side scroller, and Duke Nukem Forever had not been release then, they claimed Duke Nukem Forever was cancelled.

3D Realms denied the rumors that Duke Nukem Forever was cancelled, even in some copies of Duke Nukem Manhattan Project, a trailler of Duke Nukem Forever and Max Payne were added as goodies.

Up to now, there's no intention from 3D Realms to do a side scroller of Duke Nukem, a least developed by themselves, as they're famous for partning with third parties developers like id Software, Remedy and Human Head Studios (the developers of the recent success Prey), they might produce another side scroller but developed by another third party company like they did with Sunstorm and Arush before.
