Gearbox's seemingly rash decision to take down all means of purchase of Duke Nukem 3D last year, and recent attempts to sue EDuke32 off the internet weren't for nothing.
Read up here:
http://techraptor.net/content/duke-nukem-dust-up-gearbox-vs-gobeille
Gearbox plans to George Lucas the game, attempting to erase all versions of the original game, only to release an "improved" version.
This version includes removed voice lines, replaced by new, literal memes.
TerminX, head of EDuke32 posted on Duke4.net:
>They did. I'm not gonna say who they farmed it out to, but let's just say that all the medkits have stupid looking pills drawn on them now. From a code standpoint, and this is just my opinion, they are screwing the game up. They managed to break compatibility with all mods that utilize any .CON files released in the last 20 years. They also thought painting mohawks onto liztroops was a viable option to create a new enemy in the whole 2 weeks their "agile" development plan gave them to work with, but thankfully I was able to convince them otherwise on that one by handing over some art assets from a DN3D prototype. Yes, their product clearly suffers without my involvement. The maps are made by separate contractors. You guys will like them--they are nice maps. One of the mappers even asked me for help with something last night... and I helped him, because I like the guy a lot and making him waste hours of time on what m32script accomplishes in an instant wasn't going to hurt Gearbox any.
>Unfortunately, the new lines from JSJ aren't that great. I don't think that's JSJ's fault. They're very deadpan. I don't think he was given any direction when recording them. No amount of post-processing is going to make it sound like he gave a shit. A lot of them are dumb lines ripped directly from currently popular media. I about cried when I heard him say "bazinga".
How do we stop him?
I thought 3D Realms, or whatever's left of them, still had all the rights to the original Duke games, and Gearbox has the rights to Forever and any future games.
Also
>Gearbox doing something scummy again
Who's surprised
Also, are they also going to censor the game and replace Duke's lines with meme references?
I WANT OUT OF THIS WILD RIDE
That's depressing.
Oh well. Ya take what you can get.
>>336267392
>yfw Gearbox let Anthony Butch castrate Duke Nukem 3D forever
I am not just mad.
I am PLATINUM FUCKING MAD.
LITERALLY FUCK OFF, GEARBOX, YOU FUCKING CUNTWAFFLES.
>>336267392
>I about cried when I heard him say "bazinga".
Wait what? Is this affecting steam versions I already own as well?
>>336267392
>and recent attempts to sue EDuke32 off the internet weren't for nothing.
How is that even possible? Isn't it legally protected by the original open source licenses?
>AND AS WE FAA-A-AALL, THE SPIRIT CARRIES ON, THAT A HEEEERO WILL COME AND SAVE US ALL
>>336268627
Have you not learned by now that Gearbox doesn't give three fucks about copyright law?
They've been getting away with stuff like this for years now.
>>336267392
>implying half of what Duke said in the original weren't 90's memes
>>336267392
>http://techraptor.net/content/duke-nukem-dust-up-gearbox-vs-gobeille
>guy literally holds a negotiable contract that says he can do something
>try to sue him to not do that something
>>336267392
So I should grab a copy of Duke Nukem 3D from somewhere really quick before they meme it up, right?
>Duke Nukem is going to spout Zimbabwe memes
GEARBOX, YOU SHITS, LEAVE DUKE ALONE
REEEEEEEEEEEE

Too late, Megaton Edition has been gone since last year along with the classics and Manhattan Project.
>>336269521
that's the joke, you can't buy it any more. they already pulled it, at least GOG warned people, shit just dissapears from steam
Reminder you can still buy Megaton Edition Steam key for like 2$ on G2A
>>336270368
Wouldnt that mean giving money to Randy?
>>336270563
no that means giving money to G2A
>>336270563
No, it's giving money to someone that gave money to Humble Bundle which gave money to Devolver and charity, probably.
>>336270563
Megaton is not owned by Randy, so no.
You give money to G2A which bought it from Devolver, the publisher and owner of Megaton.
Devolver is the publisher of Shadow Warrior, Hotline Miami, Hard Reset among other good games.
How do Gearbox reconcile being massive fucking twats and also owning the license to Duke Fucking Nukem?
What are they going to do with the strippers?
>>336270918
replace them with people standing around slinging off memes and big bang theory quotes
>tfw you bet on Duke
>>336270918
They promised 3D Realms to finish Forever for them in exchange for rights to all future Duke titles while 3D Realms keeps the previous titles.
Then after they secured it, they proceeded to sue 3D Realms using a contract loophole they put in the contract themselves and legaly stole the rights to entire Duke IP from 3D Realms using said contract loophole.
>>336270918
Strip Clubs replaced by Apple iStores, its occupants spout memes whenever Duke says "bazinga" to them.
>since I am now the owner of the Mona Lisa,I will try to fix it
>Don't you like that Iphone in her hand?
>It looks like a selfie now rolf
Why would you do this?
The original had no problems.The fans cared about it.
Why not just release the new edition separately?
Or just make a new game from scratch?
>>336267852
Read the last line of the OP.
>>336271276
Because Gearbox is literally made of Pure Distilled Evil.
Gearbox is cancer but Duke was always trash
What's stopping everyone from uploading their DN3D games?
I have the GoG version I got from free like 2 years ago, even if they chopped it up it'll still be better than this new version.
>>336267392
>I about cried when I heard him say "bazinga".
>>336271367
>Duke was always trash
Here come the contrarians.
>>336271276
they've owned Duke for 5 fucking years now and not once has a hint of a new game other than that bubblegum website come out
At least build enigne bombshell will be as fun as a duke wad
>>336271367
>Duke was always trash
wew lad
>>336269521
You can still get itby pirating it
>>336271431
There's this myth that you can't scrub the internet clean off something or that you can find everything online. Those are lies. If a big company wants something erased it can be done.
>>336271431
They want to kill all easy-mode distribution channels.
That's why they killed Atomic Edition (original emulated in DOSBox) on GOG and Megaton Editon (Steam release updated with modernized engine and generally the best version of the game).
They are suing everyone left and right to ensure nobody can sell it.
They're currently in legal battle with Devolver to forbid them from selling Megaton Edition which is why it was taken down. If Devolver wins it will return, but if they lose it won't.
They sued creator of EDuke32 as well, since that's the most popular source port for the game.
>>336271632
Bombshell isn't even being made by Jewbox.
It's being made by Apogee/3D Realms.
>>336269521
>>336270309
>>336270331
>giving money to gearbox
Even if you did own it before the takeover there is literally no reason not to pirate it now.
>>336271060
It's been a long time since I've been able to post this.
I don't get it, who is this marketed towards? did anyone ask for this?
Literally the only people who care about Duke Nukem are old school fps players or people who are interested in retro vidya, replacing the art and jokes makes no sense.
I really doubt there's anyone interested in buying such an old game when they didn't care about it originally because it got an update which added fresh new memes.
It's like if Hollywood grabbed old as shit movies and added memes to them, people who originally watched them are never going to touch that piece of shit and normalfags don't watch old movies.
>mfw still have the original versions of duke 1, 2, 3d + manhatten
all on floppys except manhatten baby
>>336271715
That means shit if someone posts a MEGA link to the Megaton version.
>>336271708
There's no way they can track down everyo
>>336269214
They were lines from action films.
Not from fucking All in the family.
Bazingalad has nothing to do with being comically macho.
>First Sega
>Now 3D Realms
>Gearbox won AGAIN
How do they keep getting away with it?
Man what the hell happened to that company?
I only remember them for Opposing Force/Blue Shift and Borderlands. Solid games if you ask me, even if Borderlands went to meme hell after the first, but nothing indicating that they're this blatantly evil.
>>336271873
New generations of milennial SJW kiddies.
They will be releasing it on Xbone first, that's already confirmed info.
>>336271926
You don't understand you retard, they won't ever stop small time distribution since that's impossible, but they WILL try to kill down all the major public easy-mode channels which is their goal to ensure no "normie" tier person will be able to find them.
>>336271715
>They sued creator of EDuke32 as well, since that's the most popular source port for the game.
As far as I know they didn't attack him for EDuke32. They attacked him with threats of lawsuits and pressure because he was trying to make an iOS version of Duke 3D that had all the expansions and 64 and Total Meltdown, and he was also creator of Megaton Edition caught in the crossfire.
If they attacked EDuke32 flatout, I daresay they probably wouldn't be going quietly right now.
this is satire right? why would they change duke 3d
>>336272046
You must not be an Aliens fan
>I heard him say "bazinga".
Stopped reading there.
>>336271923
I've got all of them on Steam, feels good.
I don't even have a floppy drive anymore anyway lel.
>>336268161
>Take what you can get
God you're such a faggot Boco.
Just pirate Megaton Edition.
http://hrp.duke4.net/
SO YOU WANNA PLAY SOME FUCKING DOUK
>>336272032
Because they've got a legion of Borderlands fanboys and a bunch of bullying lawyers no one wants to deal with due to their habit of loopholes and legal abuse.
>>336267392

>>336271923
>tfw school was throwing out CDs
>ask if I can take some
>Duke 3d atomic for free
I don't know how it got there,but it's mine now.
>>336272032
By having really good lawyers with no moral compas.
Their laywers are the ones that propose the contracts and hide loopholes in hopes that the company they're working with won't discover them and then proceed to sue the everliving shit out of that company.
They did it with SEGA.
They did it with 3D Realms/Apogee.
And they will most likely win against Devolver and EDuke32 dev as well.
>>336272185
Obligatory "so did everyone retard"
>see Randy shilling this man's new game
>immediately lose all trust and interest
>I about cried when I heard him say "bazinga".
I mean Jesus Christ even normies don't think TBBT is cool anymore what the fuck are they doing?
>Not having 10 million duke3d.grp copies
>>336271632
>they've owned Duke for 5 fucking years now and not once has a hint of a new game other than that bubblegum website come out
Gearbox had nothing to do with that bubblegum website. That was actually a teaser for a new Duke game by 3DRealms that ultimately got turned into Bombshell when 3DRealms lost all the rights to Duke.
>>336272265
>tfw there are actually gator enemies in Manhattan Project
>>336272180
Wait, the colonial disaster was made by them too? Jesus Christ.
Seems like Borderlands fucked them up hard somehow. Or were they just as bad pre 2009?
>>336272185imagining bazinga, motherfucker! in duke's voice is kinda funny to me
SJWs weren't gonna take our games away, they said
Remember when Burch said Duke Nukem was "toxic and problematic" and he wanted to change it?
Well, look at how things turned out
At least I still have the Vita version downloaded.
>>336272192
>>336271923
I got them on GoG and Steam, not physical though yet. GoG gave Duke 3D out free, so a lot of people have the original game there
>SJW get rights to your favorite franchise
>they go around and sue everyone to erase it from history
>all so they can release their own scrubbed clean version that is censored, edited and full of memes
For fuck sake...
>>336272046
Memelands was garbage even during the first one anon, it was a generic FPS game during reveal, then they LITERALLY ripped off an indie art movie and redesigned the entire game to have art style copypasted from said indie movie.
Then they decided to rip off Diablo as well and add loot because children like to grind.
Also Opposing Force and Blue Shift were made by vastly different people, companies have worker turnover over span of 10 years you know.
>>336272198
I might.
But Duke is my hero. If buying this means more new games, well, I guess I have to.
>>336267392
While I don't want to defend Gearbox and everything about this sounds awful, most of Duke's original lines were just pop culture references to begin with.
>>336272470
Is the cuck still working for gearbox?
>>336272428
Nigger they were always pure evil.
They LITERALLY stole SEGA's money they were given to make Colonial Marines and put all the money into Memelands 2, literal embezzling of funds.
Then they sued SEGA with some legal bullshit "hurr durr insane requirements yada yada" or someshit like that and won and SEGA was forced to pay them even more on top of that.
I fucking hate Jewbox and Randy Shitford.
I literally would kill this man if I ever came across him in person.
>>336272607
Does it matter?
People will still blame him and SJWs as a whole even if he wouldve left the company years ago.
>>336272470
Holy shit this bums me out.
They are literally attempting to rewrite video game history
>>336272093
They DID attack him for EDuke32 as well initially but their lawyers told them they can't win that one and they backed out and changed their attack angle into the mobile port.
>>336272086
>New generations of milennial SJW kiddies.
kek
It's not going to sell at all, Xbox kids are never going to play such an old game with 2.5d graphics.
>>336272519
>>336272470
The lizard aliens literally snatch women and use them as cum dumpsters. All they want to do is rape anything female on planet earth.
Not sure how they plan to socially justify that.
>>336272602
This too. Duke has always mocked what's hot. Go play Manhattan Project and count how many references he makes to turn of the century culture.
It's part of his charm.
>>336272735
It matters.
Facts matter.
They allow me to always be right.
>>336272551
You're doing this on purpose
>>336272551
You're a fucking moron
>>336272103
>>336272185
It's not satire anons.
>>336272551
Your hero is being raped and you're paying the rapists, retard
>>336272495
GOG didn't have Megaton Edition sadly which is best version of the game.
>>336272915
What?
>>336272541
>LITERALLY ripped off an indie art movie and redesigned the entire game to have art style copypasted from said indie movie.
You forgot the part where they actually contacted the people who worked on it about working on Borderlands, then just stopped talking to them and later said "their project was a big inspiration."
>>336273040
Yeah, Steam doesn't allow you to buy that anymore either though
I first played it on the xbox 360 release which had a cool unique rewind feature that I find more fun than quicksaves
>>336272841
They'll ruin it, don't worry.
>>336273126
That too, point is Gearbox are fucking literal scum.
>Gearbox releases the revised edition of Duke Nukem 3D and says that plans for future games will hinge on the sales of the new release
>Marketers ramping up, lots of "But it's Duke Nukem/Gearbox, how can you betray them, bros"/"If you don't buy this game you can't call yourself a real gamer"/"I don't see the big deal with this new release, it's all just nitpicking"
>Reviews on websites and YouTube e-celeb videos ramping up, lots of "This is an opportunity for the stale immature Duke Nukem series to get with the times and be more progressive"/"Gamers need to grow up"
>Sales are tepid because modern gamers don't give a shit about Duke and the fans that did give a shit about Duke were turned off by the shoddy treatment given to the re-release
>Gearbox blames entitled misogynist manchildren, Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton make empty snarkposts on Twitter
>Six months later a bunch of e-celebs admit the re-release was hot garbage, while reviewers/journalists continue to dig their own graves

>Psychic anon
>>336273168
I wonder if the guy behind Megaton and EDuke32 had a hand in this port since the UI between Megaton and the 360 ports are identical. The rewind feature was really fucking cool, give it a little polishing for some 90's flare and it could literally be Duke rewinding a story because he wasn't exactly satisfied
>>336273321
>>336273243
What's the alternative? Let it die?
>>336268224
It's possible, although unlikely in this case. Gearbox will probably publish the game under a new name, not Megaton or Atomic Edition like the old ones on GOG/Steam. .
>>336273139
You can buy the Megaton Edition keys on G2A still and redeem them on Steam anon. It was only taken down from Steam Store itself.
>>336267392
Am I supposed to care? Duke nukem was literally always a shitty edgy rip off of doom BUT WITH TITS HAHA BUBBLEGUM LMAO
It has never been good and never will be good. In fact GG gearbox for beating a shitty corpse in the street like it deserves
>>336267392
>I about cried when I heard him say "bazinga".
I don't like blizzard alot, but I hope overwatch is so sucessful that it kills battleborne, gearbox deserves bankruptcy nothing less

>That's why they killed Atomic Edition (original emulated in DOSBox) on GOG
Wat? I've just downloaded it from my account there. Even Fallout, though not for sale, is still at libraries on GOG.

>>336273450
I bet you're under 26, aren't you?
>>336273429
YES
this is a bad year for old shooter fans
>>336273434
It's not possible anon as the Megaton Edition is owned by Devolver and Shitford can't retroactively touch it. Best thing he could do was sue Devolver to force them to temporarily take it down from Steam. If Devolver wins it will get back on Steam, if they lose it won't. Simple as that.
>>336273429
>Implying it's alive to begin with
Come on, Boco. We've talked about this before. Duke's a zombie at most. Just let it reast in pieces.

>>336267392
>"bazinga"
FUCKING
PANIC
The problem isn't the fact that Duke is making references to current media, but instead it's the current media they've chosen to have him reference.
Why in the ever loving FUCK would Duke say bazinga?
>>336273769
I really, really like this picture
Can I save it?
>>336273816

Go back and cry to your waifu, man. I'm sorry for your loss, but we all go through a lot of them in our lifes.
I'd really, REALLY prefer to let Duke die instead of have him reborn as a shitty sjw current media politically correct game.
It wouldn't be Douk. It'd be just a clone, as in that one Duke Nukem Forever expansion nobody played but me and maybe you.

It has procedurally generated levels which means 0 FUCKING LEVEL DESIGN.
Now you can play the shitty Shadow Warrior Reboot with even worse levels!
Is Megaton Edition any good or should I just stick with the Atomic Edition from GOGdunno if they modified anything from the original release?
>>336274136
Doctor who cloned me was better than the main game
>>336273986
That's not a very good analogy for video games.
Through source ports and whatnot the original game can live on for years. Like it has been.
>>336274136
Yeah, I played the DLC. It was actually a little better than the main game. Did Gearbox make that?
>>336267392
Motherfuckers, I biught it recently. Couldn't dind the strength to go further than the first 2 levels though, it is really shit...
>>336273974

>>336274240
>>336274259
Yeah, it was pretty decent.
No idea if Gearbox were the devs tho
>>336274218
megaton is mostly a windows wrapper and config menu similar to a source port. With atomic you're getting a pure dosbox version.
and you're pirating either way because its beeb pulled from all stores
I can see this version of the game already playing in my head.

Don't know what procedurally generated means?
It means the levels are being randomly generated from premade assets.
They're not even hand made.
With that said the Shadow Warrior reboot is fucking trash anyway, go play Shadow Warrior Classic Redux and see how garbage the reboot is in comparison.
>>336274068
They gave Wang some snarky generic girl inside-head voice as a replacement for Hoji from the first remake

They gave the PvE a 7. something which depending on whether they paid for the review is good or bad.
>>336274218
Atomic is literally the original DOS version emulated in DOSBox.
Megaton is a proper modern source port with FOV options and the like, it also has all expansions and proper SC-55 Synthesizer music.
It's literally the best version of the game.

I want to see that. What movie?
>>336274171
I must be right because you dodged that question like Hilary during a debate.
My point, child, is that it's not about the game its about history. This is a board about video games, and these fuckers are using revisionist history to push their agenda.
So fuck them and fuck you.
Didn't Pitchford actually work on the original Duke 3D in some capacity? Why would he do this to his own work? Is he really just the George Lucas of vidya

why did gearbox turn into such a shit company? the brothers in arms games were some of my favorite ww2 shooters, then they made a 180 to memes and scams
I can't think of anything that makes me angrier than fucking Gearbox. Killing Duke Nukem and having the rights to Homeworld makes me sick.
>>336272602
Most of them were to popular macho action movies, and of course other video games like Doom. The equivalent would be memes from modern action movies like Mad Max or Jason Statham movies or something.

It doesn't. Shadow Warrior Redux does, though. Which is a shame, cause Duke Megaton has Vert- widescreen.

>I don't get it, who is this marketed towards? did anyone ask for this?
>Literally the only people who care about Duke Nukem are old school fps players or people who are interested in retro vidya, replacing the art and jokes makes no sense.
The thing about Duke Nukem is he's an FPS legacy, so you're going to get a half million teens who go "I've never played a Duke Nukem game beforesince the last good one was released before they were bornbut they released it on Xbox and it's not my money so I'll buy it!"
>>336274592
No he didn't. 3D Realms even went on record and said he was a lying shit since he wasn't even their employee at the time of game's release and anyone can easily check it themselves by checking the credits in the original DOS release.
>>336274804
Duke 3D had a reference to a fucking Whoopi Goldberg movie in the first level.

has gearbox surpassed activision/ea as the new anti-christ?
I didn't even know they removed the purchase of the old duke games from steam, and not just duke3d.
Too bad for them I already own them in steam.
But what the hell is this shit?
Shoving meems into it, making the dukester fucking say "bazinga", jesus christ.

What I'm saying is don't buy shitty games just because they belong to your favorite franchise X. The message you're actually sending is "Yes, we'll buy shitty as long as it has franchise X plastered all over it" not "We love franchise X and will support it even in hard times in hopes of it getting a good sequel eventually"

>When asked how he felt about the credit for the new art style going to co-founder and Art Director, Brian Martel, Hibon had this to say:
>"I always think of the talented team of artists working at Gearbox – who could have created something original and bespoke instead of copying someone else’s short film… and I feel bad for them." —Ben Hibon
>Credit was never given to Hibon until the plagiarism was pointed out, Randy Pitchford said: "artists and designers at Gearbox were inspired and influenced by it." Earlier versions of the work had no cell-shading whatsoever.

Wait so did Gearbox and TerminX go to court?
>>336275242
Because it's fucking inferior to the original and because the developers went public literally saying that original Lo Wang was "problematic" and "racist".
The reboot is fucking trash with absolutely terrible gunplay and vaseline visuals + dumbed down censored Wang. The only thing that even feels good gameplay wise in the reboot is the fucking katana.
Go play the Classic Redux original you faggot and then compare to the reboot in gameplay and level design.
You have to be a literal shill or a graphicsfag to think the reboot is in any way better.

Gearbox really isn't that powerful. And if Barbra Streisand couldn't scrub pictures of her house from the internet, I doubt Gearbox could eliminate all traces of the old Duke, either.
>Duke Nukem referencing modern popular culture
That doesn't even make sense. Nukem is a tongue-in-check homage to 80s action stars and that's where the majority of his lines come from. He isn't just some pop culture machine.
>>336267392
Only good thing that came from Gearbox was 2 mods for original Half-Life.
>>336275375
Because he's a David Hayter tier amateur who can only do that one bad voice and he's kept Duke's role only because no one could be bothered to even look for someone else.
