Duke Nukem: Reloaded "Explain the situation"
#1 Posted 11 June 2013 - 10:36 AM
DN:R was a remake of the old Duke Nukem 3D. It was being remade by danish Frederik from Interceptor.
Now this is my question: 3D Realms has the right to Duke 3D, right? And as i see it, Reloaded is a remake of that game? So are they allowed to remake their old game or what?
I understood it as this: All Duke games BEFORE DNF, is owned by 3D Realms. So basically, they can do whatever they want with these games. Every Duke game AFTER DNF is owned by Gearbox etc.
So my question to you fellow Duke-fans. Can 3D Realms make a remake of their old games or is this not allowed? (I mean they just made Duke Nukem II for IOS..
Thanks.

Oh well. I guess i am never going to understand all of this. It is Duke 3D with better graphics and etc. And basically... I knew that Reloaded was never going to be. Not atm atleast.

That would be about what I would expect. I am sure there all kinds of legalese around it, but I wouldn't be suprised if it boils down to what you said.

I recall somebody asking for some new version of Duke2 (can't exactly remember what it was, but it would be something like an enhanced remake) and Fred answered that this suggestion would basically be a new game which is prohibited.
And remember how it all began (publically available to read on GBX' forums if you really want to visit that place). Fred releasd some screens and asked Scott Miller for allowance to make reloaded who pointed him to GBX, so this alone tells us that Reloaded would be a new game. Imagine it just like that new Shadow Warrior game or even the ROTT remake.
EDIT:
And I think EDuke was never in danger to be put on hold by GBX. But now even less than before. GBX and the mods became really defensive and quite after the A:CM debacle (they lost a lot of reputation when you look at gaming sites nowadays. and there is also the lawsuit, etc...). You can now basically insult them and the mods on their own forum with the harshest words now and "call them complete idiots who should hide under a rock and never come back" without even getting one single warning point. How do I know ... well ... I heard somebody said that and got away with it.

From what I know that would be highly unlikely. And with "highly" I mean 99.99967% unlikely. That's what I guess from the old days before it got cancelled/put on hold. I cannot talk about any internal affairs from the old days. Just pointing out that if the Wizard or OZ doesn't come to this world and magically makes GBX turn around by 180 degree it is impossible that this will happen.
In (unofficial and private person's !!!) conslusion I would say: Forget about Reloaded completely. This game was buried 18 feet under solid concrete so that not even a worldwide zombie apocalypse could revive even parts of it.

Official episodes bundled with the game, I think, he means, which would make it a new version of the game. Nothing wrong with mods and user made episodes.

Plus the wallpaper in the background of Pathfinders page is mostly a cut up of this picture with other things photoshopped in.
I still believe it's Duke, everything just points at it.

this is the original Pathfinder Series, an RPG.
And the image simply shows a savaged area, a lot of games depict that ...

At least we're getting ROTT - which looks fantastic!
