Take-Two have finally revealed the details of their upcoming tussle with Realms over the demise of Forever, ShackNews stumbling across court documents explaining the publisher's gripes.

Apparently, the case surrounds a prospective version of the now dead FPS, claiming that a deal was in place that would have allowed them to create the port. With and Apogee refusing to undertake this development, Take-Two say that they were planning on finding a new developer for this console outing.

3D Realms, meanwhile, were reportedly obliged to provide the source code to enable this port - but didn't - and now the entire project has of course collapsed. Take-Two also claim in the new filing that 3D Realms have rather more money than they're letting on, the complaint suggesting the firm has money stashed in off-shore accounts.

Take-Two believe 3D Realms / Apogee should be able to use this money to fulfill their obligations to them over DNF. "3DR has been in nearly a dozen lawsuits (including against and Fox). We're always innocent, and we always win. This one is no exception. Give it a year, then the truth will come out," responds 3D Realms/Apogee founder Scott Miller.
