I wonder what happened to Duke Begins.
I got the impression that was what Gearbox was doing while Triptych got this out the door, though maybe it got canned after DNF, given they said they have two new IPs going and obviously Borderlands will continue.
I thought I heard that Duke Begins was a sort of back up plan between 2k and Gearbox just in case DNF completely died before things went south at 3DR. 2k had to know things where a mess and expected things to explode any day and probably still wanted to ship a Duke game and probably had the rights to do so.
Then with the way things worked out they decided to save DNF instead of making something new.
There is probably some juicy info on how the 3DR / Gearbox / 2K deal came together. I bet things where a lot messier then the story they sent when it was announced. Who knows if we will ever hear it all.
