HomeLAN Fed has posted an article format interview with 3DR's Scott Miller, talking to him about the sale of the Max Payne IP and the development of Max Payne 2. Remedy is indeed making the game just like they developed the original game, and 3D Realms will be producing again. After that, Remedy can do whatever they want as the sale of the Max Payne IP made them financially independent.

The selling of game IP rights might become more of a trend for game developers, according to Miller. " I really think this will be an eye opening deal for this industry," Miller said, adding that while he was attending E3, he ran into a number of developers who also were interesting in doing the same thing. "A lot of developers think this is ground-breaking," he said. So does that mean we could see future deals like, say, id Software selling its Quake or Wolfenstein IP rights or Epic selling its Unreal rights? Miller seems to think so. "id is a perfect candidate for this," he said.

As for Duke Nukem Forever "Based on what I saw at E3, Duke is not behind the curve technology wise". Of course that can quickly change as most PC titles at E3 are scheduled to ship this holiday season with no date in sight for Duke. As for the game itself "Duke is all about interactivity and it really will be a living breathing world".
