Take Two: There will be more Duke Nukem IPs in the future

Duke Nukem Forever will not be the last game in the series, Take Two has promised.

"We don't really talk about it in detail but you will see future Duke IP coming from this company," says Take-Two boss Strauss Zelnick in an interview with Forbes. Zelnick went on to add that they may also bring the Duke Nukem franchise into movies and other non-gaming areas.

"Part of it is the economic opportunities that interact with entertainment are so huge," he 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."

On the subject of adult content and humor of the game, Zelnick added: "We take ratings guidelines and marketing guidelines as seriously as a heart attack around here," he said. "We do not market mature products to children. When friends of mine say, 'Oh, I plan to get Red Dead Redemption for my 15-year-old,' I say, 'You know this product is intended for adults?' We are incredibly serious about it.

"That said, when we put something out I stand behind it, and will not compromise. When you put all those things all together it's difficult to be critical of the company. Because here in America, thank God, we have the ability to do what we want. What is there left to be said? I'm sorry if you don't like it. Don't consume it."

A sequel to the 1996 game Duke Nukem 3D, Duke Nukem Forever was released earlier this month, after more than a decade in the making. The game was originally developed by 3D Realms, but due to financial reasons, the development of the game got halted in 2009. Eventually, it was picked up by Gearbox Software.

I'll be interested in future games. Most of the people bashing this game are expecting something that Duke was never meant to be. If you want to play dog crap like CoD, then go suffer with that trash. If a shooter comes out that tries to do its own thing or even return to the gameplay styles from classic shooters, then I say great. I'd rather play Duke 3D, UT, classic Doom/Quake, Painkiller, or Serious Sam than the current junk where you crawl from one cover to the next. How boring is that?

seriously i think DNF deserves alot more than what most sites gave it, ive been loving the game so far the humour is great and loving the lil easter eggs hidden in the game, its not meant to be a realistic game i think thats why all the reviewers got so pissy on it, i personally love it, its refreshing after bang bang wow im amazing soldier, i.e cod, gears of war crysis, duke is not meant for reviewer types i guess but normal people who arnt after "another" war shooter with political correctness
