Quote from Mazy

Well, actually it looks like they've gotten the Phantom Lapboard out, thats close enough

Ha ha, ya i saw. I was like "Fuck there goes my joke".

I can say that 3Drealms haven't handle this really well. Sure they don't owe us anything but if you want to keep your fans (and expecting them to pay for the game when its eventually out) you should act like salesmen and keep the interest up, maybe a blog or some updates every now and then not just a "When it's done".

I agree that its meaningless to show something that won't even make it in the final version but at least some sign of life.

2001 trailer > this.

10 years and you have a mirrored skin on the main character model?

I have a feeling this game is going to feel exactly like prey.

Forget about the mirrored skin. I'm willing to bet every model in the game is mirrored. But *shrugs* I'll wait and see. This might yet turn out fun.

To be honest, a mirrored skin on Duke is no big deal. Don't forget that Duke is an FPS, and many FPS games including the champion superb game Half-Life 2 don't even have a main player model.

Duke really does need to keep working out, though. He looks nowhere near as bulky as he used to.

I agree, tbh. In fact, I didn't even really notice it until it was pointed out. It doesn't really matter as long as Duke can still kick some ass. But I agree he needs to work out. Maybe that's why they've been waiting so long? Duke let himself go and now he has to catch up. That video was footage from his new training programme ;D

The game would be a lot better if they were to base it on antique collecting and call up the real duke.

The 2001 trailer is still the best trailer ever made for a game imho, I've not seen anything since that left me with a dropped jaw like when I first saw that. I saw the 1998 trailer the other day, that was loltastic, not quite as bad as the original 1997 Half-Life trailer though

I'll be looking forward to DNF anyway, after 10 years it can only be the best damn thing ever made right..?

What 2001 trailer are you talking about anywaus? link?

Quote from Thrik

It's kind of a shame that they cannot possibly better the original trailer for sheer coolness, so it's an uphill battle.

ya 2001 trailer was much betta

You've got to realise;

Last Saturday we had our annual company Christmas party. It was a lot o fun as usual but it featured one special surprise. It turns out that several people had been secretly working late nights and into the wee hours of the morning preparing a special video for those at the party. They created a short teaser for Duke Nukem Forever. After seeing the teaser we thought it was something we should share with all of you and while it's just a teaser, rest assured more is coming.

So it's not like it was some official trailer, just something they shared with fans.

They've had plenty of time to share a lot of stuff I expect with the fans over many months / years. So why bother releasing some half assed teaser that's just going to undermine all the awesomeness that's expected? When all there is to the teaser is some shitty remix of the duke theme and a really ugly looking duke model are we expected to be OMG wow after all this time?

I don't know what 3DR are thinking either, only time can tell.

hah... I do not even understand why this game is still developing?

Just watched it, well, I'm dissapointed but again I haven't had any high expectations here.

and you shouldn't have more expectations.
