So there's been a bit of buzz about this. In short it comes down to Interceptor working on a top down Duke Nukem action RPG. Feel free to discuss.
Duke Nukem Mass Destruction?

Don't want top down. Want FPS Duke 3D.

If it's not going to take another decade. Sure why not?

Lol, oh boy. In all fairness though, if 3D Realms is trying to use the IP they sold then that is most definitely unacceptable regardless of how much of a mess DNF ended up being (probably not that much because of Gearbox).

Exactly
Duke deserves a proper FPS sequel.

Just realised that Interceptor is the same studio that had that trouble ages ago when they were making that sweet-looking remake of Duke Nukem 3D but said Gearbox had made them shut it down — only for Gearbox to later say they could go ahead with it after all, as a non-commercial fan project as originally agreed.
It looks to me like 3D Realms caught onto that somehow, and decided to work directly with Interceptor to create some other Duke-related game using the limited license Interceptor had. So that does make things more blurry, but in all honesty this just reeks of assholery on 3D Realms' part. Also, Gearbox has been revealing in its lawsuit how much of a mess the 'game' they inherited from 3D Realms was.
Helping 3D Realms was probably one of the worst decisions Gearbox ever made. Almost as bad as deciding to make a game using one of the world's most famous sci-fi film IPs and then outsourcing it.

ughh why don't 3d realms just create a new IP instead... I love Duke but it's time they stop beating that dead horse
-
Wait... 3d realms still exist? didn't they get shut down? wtf I'm consufed

I think it only exists in name and ownership by Scott and George.
