Well, if they have some people working on it for 10 years, at least the storyline and the levels will be well plotted out by now.

For the record, the high definition video shows Duke is curling 300 pounds and each plate is "Heavy, 100 pounds", so benching somewhere around 2,000. This is what happens when you take steroids in every level of your last game.

I think it's a bit of time to explain some Mystique of Duke Nukem to the children.

Truth be told, I only played the shareware versions of Duke Nukem 1 and 2, which wide side scrolling shooters. Know what shareware is? Find out.

Then we get into Duke Nukem 3d. It was a sprite based FPS, came out same year as Quake 1, which wasn't so sprite based. Awesome time to be a computer nerd! Anyhow, Duke was soo over the top it's not even funny. One liners everywhere! Naked chicks! Strippers you can through cash at and they'll jiggle for you! A FMV sequence where he actually rips off the bosses head and shits down his neck! You see the marine from Doom, cut in half. You take steroids to move faster. This is the Lobo of the video game universe.

It was just a fun game, full of rediculousness, pop culture, and about 7 different expansion packs that were all just as over the top.

But the customization and map editor? Unreal. You can add your own sprites, own triggers. This was the game that made me fascinated with level design, and I still am to this day. However, Duke3d is the only level editor I spent hours with. Possibly my favourite, and easy to get started, tough to master.

The game had : a fun playstyle, ridiculous over the top humour, inventive weapons/items, pop culture references, awesome customization tools provided, FMV, expansions up the Wazoo, and of course, topless chicks tied up in vines and strippers who will juggle for that oddly infinite wad of cash you carry. Also, with jetpacks, often multiple paths. Hate to say it, I didn't even cover everything noteworthy about the game, made, in 1996. Best game ever? Hardly. But it was different, and it was special.

Can you believe that we actually got a chance to play Duke Nukem Forever in our life time?
It has become a urban legend, it's like Roswell, it's like Atlantis, it's like Elvis still alive


Telling me that i can play Duke Nukem Forever in 2008, it's like telling me that the Roswell aliens will fly me to Atlantis , to dinner with Elvis

I wrote this up in another forum, pretty much a simpler version of the text from wikipedia

So yeh, don't expect a 2008 release, we have had trailers before

Hail to the King, baby.

I am so happy that I don't care about Duke Nukem at all. I would have killed myself about 10 years ago after it hadn't been released for 4 years already LOL

OMG LOL! They did a poll on Gamefaqs:

Now that there's a teaser trailer, when do you think Duke Nukem Forever will be released?

Early 2008, it's just a few months away 3.04%
Late 2008, we'll have it next Christmas 18.88%
In 2009, it's still over a year away 14.73%
2010 or later, 13 years of work just isn't enough 23.89%
Never, it's not going to happen 39.46%

 I'll get it just to own the slowest developed game in history...

haha, yeah the other trailer listed on that GT page is dated 2004.

I really loved Duke Nukem 3d back in the day though, would be nice if DNF actually did come out. I remember first hearing about it coming out years and years ago, haha.

in what engine is running DNF?
