Duke’s Not Dead

Duke’s Not Dead

None

Duke Nuke Forever came out to “less than favorable reviews.” Many fans are now thinking that this is going to be Duke’s final appearance on consoles. Think again; Duke Nukem Forever publisher Take-Two is going to milk this franchise for all it’s worth. It will be great to see Duke kicking ass well into the future.

Take-Two chairman Strauss Zelnick told Forbes, “you will see a future Duke IPs coming from this company.” He was then asked to expound, but that answer was a little less cut-and-dry.



“Part of it is the economic opportunities that interact with entertainment are so huge,” Zelnick said. “Part of it is that we are very creative folks in control. Part of it is we don’t want to ever be in the position of dumping something down just to make another buck. If we can take some of our intellectual property and bring it to another medium in an extraordinary, high-quality way that delights consumers and represents an interesting commercial opportunity for us, we will. We have certainly considered doing that with BioShock and with other titles. So far we haven’t brought anything to market, but stay tuned.”
