Apogee Software not Affected By 3D Realms Situation

WorthPlaying writes: "While there is no confirmation yet, former 3D Realms employee Charlie Wiederhold, currently at Infinity Ward working on Modern Warfare 2, says the rumor is 100% true and confirmed. Deep Silver however issued a statement saying that Apogee is not affected by the "situation" at 3D Realms, and that development on the Duke Nukem Trilogy is continuing as planned."

If Apogee is not affected, maybe there is hope after all, not quite sure how the two companies were still related, or not.

Ohh hell yeah!

Duke Nukem Forever is still on track!

Unfortunately the Duke Nukem titles Apogee are working on are on the NDS/PSP, so it all remains to be seen ..

Although if the 3D Realms demise rumors were not true, I'm sure there would have been way more vocal denials. 3D Realms and Take Two are being very quiet and refusing to comment at this point it seems.

They could make a great, long lasting FPS with this franchise.

Funny, because if you saw the short Duke Nukem Forever gameplay video on the Jace Halls show, it kinda looks like Half Life 2.

Unfortunately the shut down has now been made official by 3D Realms' webmaster :(

omfg apogee still exists?, i remember halloween harry and 3d agent etc back in windows 3.1 days and apogee was around, awesome

Hopefully Apogee can pull the project together again. It will be sad not to see the original 3D devs working on it, but Apogee where the creators of Duke so maybe they won't look at so much porn as 3D Realms did.
