Oh boy. 3D Realms shuts down and next thing you know, all hell breaks loose. Apogee Software LTD, the legal name of 3D Realms, got sued to hell and back for breach of contract by Take Two Interactive. Know why? Take Two was supposed to publish a little game called Duke Nukem Forever, which as you may or may not know, never saw the light of day despite millions of dollars being invested in it.

So now they’ll go to court and battle it out in NY. It’d be nice to see a complete version of DNF come out of this.

Ok, so 3D Realms is pretty much dead. R.I.P. We can only assume that the long-rumored and partially-developed Duke Nukem Forever died with it. I’m not quite sure if anyone actually knew how far along the game was in its development. But if these renderings are any sort of clue, the game would have kicked ass.

Former 3D Realms Art Director Tramell Isaac, recently unemployed, dropped these previously unreleased Duke Nukem Forever renderings on his blog for any future employers to scope out. Luckily, the blogosphere got to them first. Check out some more after the jump.
