Duke Nukem Forever Teaser Debuts on Shacknews
by Chris Remo, Dec 19, 2007 9:00am PSTFollowing yesterday's screenshot release, Shacknews is pleased to
premiere the first new Duke Nukem Forever teaser trailer in over six
years. According to George
Broussard of developer 3D Realms, the
approximately minute-long video was originally created internally for
the purpose of holiday festivities and marks the beginning of further
media unveilings surrounding the notoriously long-in-development first-
person shooter.
"The release is still 'when it's done,' but you can expect more frequent
media releases and we're not changing engines again and we have
considerable work behind us," Broussard told Shacknews today when asked about a release date.

HD stream or download the HD trailer.
The trailer features the work of longtime Duke voice actor Jon St.
John as well as prolific game composers Jeremy and Julian Soule. Several captures from the video are available below.
Platforms for the game were not confirmed, but when asked today whether Xbox 360 in addition to PC is likely, Broussard's response sounded positive though not definitive. "I don't think we've stated that yet for the record but your observations
are probably correct," he conceded.
First announced for PC in 1997 as a followup to the studio's classic
Duke Nukem 3D, Duke Nukem Forever is known to have gone through
several significant development iterations. Its last major showing was
at E3 2001 with its impressive gameplay trailer; the current Duke Nukem Forever is
said to share little in common with that game. For more on the history of Duke Nukem Forever, check out Nick Breckon's feature, published today.
"It's basically a restart as the tech
changed and we've been on this version of the game since 2004 or so," Broussard said today.
"The released media up to this point are not longer relevant
other than for curiosity purposes."

This game is already a goddamn inter-generational myth. I'll be telling MY grandkids about the release date predictions, so they might survive to play it. Clearly I won't. Not at this rate.
3D Realms has basically made 3 different games by this name already, and abandoned them. This epic cycle is not going to change in the near future.

I know this is called a teaser, but come the fuck on. They've been working on this particular version for three years and they can't show more than 8 seconds of gameplay?

I wonder how she looks today.
Besides, Crysis is full proof that killer graphics do not equal an awesome gameplay experience. And if you want to pick apart the graphics, I don't know if the footage of Duke is realtime, but did anyone notice that this will be the only modern game that actually went to the extra effort required to model realistic muscles, like with veins and skin and shit that move realistically? Think about it: Doom3, HL2, UT3, Gears of War, Quake, Crysis...etc. Take you pick, for the most part they all use fully clothed or armored figures which is hell of lot easier than bare human flesh that has to flex and distort properly. Also, the little bit of smoke rising off the cigar is impressive if real-time. We've all see volumetric smoke effects, but I don't think I've ever seen detailed smoke rising and swirling and whatnot like that.
Besides any of that, its Duke fucking Nukem! That's all that matters. Now come George, show us some strippers already!

The big attraction of Duke was always the campy humor and dialogue and the environmental humor attached to it. I don't remember any games having working subways, or moving cars, or windows being broken out, or mirrors.... hidden tunnelways all over the levels... I mean something as simple as flushing a toilet was included in this game and had actions/displays to match.
That was the real core component of Duke that I think was what sold it, the interaction and humor. Alot of the people posting about how "This game should be revolutionary in graphics" are missing the point... this game may will be revolutionary in the environment. I have yet to see a more enjoyable environment than Duke's, even with all the 3d wizardry that goes on in our current games, and I hope that the development time has been put more towards that than anything else.
I hope it lives upto my expectations, and all of yours. However, I think if you're looking for cutting edge graphics, that might not be the forte this game was meant to go for.
However, I'd say that the game looks pretty damned good and certainly is no slouch from what limited evidence i've seen so far.

It seems like the King is smiling less and getting more angry. Perhaps those steroids are finally catching up with him? Of course, I'm still betting on Duke!

A game thats been delayed this much? Chances are? set turd = 1
As far as I can remember, the last game delayed as much as this one, was Daikatana, and we all know the outcome of that.
When 3DRealms can deliver the goods, like companies which have actually released a game this millennium, then they have the credibility for statements like "when its done" and promos like "teaser trailers".
Frankly, I think Steve shouldn't waste the readers time until someone within that organization has the balls of locking down a release date and sticking with it.
In actuality, this is all just marketing hype and pipe dreams.
Please pass the crack pipe, cuz i need one if I'm gonna actually place any weight on statements or teaser demos from 3D Realms.
Someone needs a dose of reality.
Good luck with the game. I'll consider a finished product, "when its done".

When are we going to get a playable demo of the E3 2001 trailer?
I just want to run around in that trailer's environment, maybe interact with some shit, look at some strippers, just to hold me over until the next piece of media comes out.
Do it for the Shack, Mr. Broussard. Just a little demo.

It's looking good. I hope the game doesn't lose the vibrant colors of Duke3d. That was one thing that set it apart from Quake.

The buzz on various forums is rather negative, people are making fun of the cgi calling it 'ps1 fmv grade', and called the small realtime segments very 'prey 2'-ish.
The hardcore fans will love it, since it's NEW matérial, but for the regular gamers; that trailer makes you think the end product wont be so good.
It was a really bad call, overall.

But, the video fucking rules. I mean, it's a teaser trailer that wasn't even really designed for release. WTF did people expect? Compare this "teaser" with the dark knight teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txzKlsFqyb8
For what it was, it was awesome. it had some really good shots, and a ton of content, for the length. This had so much more content than the majority of teasers i've seen. People seem to forget what a "teaser" is.
TLDR: Fuck the haters, this is going to kick ass.
