This is also entertaining -> http://duke.a-13.net/

To think, when DNF was announced I was in grade 7! Crazy times.

Gav :)

LOL Ive always wondered if Duke Nuke'm Forever was just a April fools joke that they intended to make last forever or something....

[ThatDon]

My hero! ( I actually work with the guy that made the original Duke, Chuck Jones)

[East]

This is so c-- actually, I'm going to try and poop on this party as little as possible, but they have actually shown us more than just a teaser trailer of DNF before, and how many years ago has that been now? ;)

I might be a bit jaded, but I'm in the I'll-believe-it-when-I'm-playing-it camp :uhh: Though that screenshot does look really cool.

In a Bruce "John McClane" Willis on steroids way, but cool non the less.

[Vahl]

if they release the trailer tomorrow, the world is gonna explode or something

[Jackablade]

and how many years ago has that been now?6 and a half. 10 years and... what month are we in now... 7 months since it was first announced.

Those belt UVs are a bit squished.

Negativity aside, I'm kind of excited to see what they come up with tomorrow.

[MM]

wow i never knew this game has been in dev stage for such a long time. i sure do look forward to the trailer.

the word "Forever" in their title now makes total sense seeing how long its taking them to develop.

[Chasarsis]

Given the development time, maybe they are pulling a Valve and making it as awesome as Team Fortress 2

[YdoUwant2know]

I'm with East on this one. I'll believe it when i play it, till then it might as well be a hoax.

[iceblazer17]

thats awsome! so BA!

[East]

Then again, all we'll see is probably just Duke pressing weights on the bench during some interesting camera work, then get up and say some one liner from the game in development, while popping his knuckles.

Yes, I'm deliberately trying to lower my own anticipation :p

[Chasarsis]

The trailer wasn't bad, although it didn't show any gameplay. The one liner at the end definitely illicited a groan though

OH MY GOD YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE!!!! :eek:

LAMEST... TEASER... EVER... Its like they are trying to make a bad B-movie 'yeah we know its sucks, lets pretend we made it corny ON purpose so nobody can blame us for it being sucky' type of game.

And... pumping weights while smoking a cigar... uhm... yeah... :think:

[Gavin]

I kind of think the point of Duke is to be LIKE a cheesy action movie though. Honestly, if they make it in the same vein as Gears of War or some other serious shit, it will lose it's appeal.

[ThatDon]

Gears of war..serious...hahahahahahahahahahahhaa

[brian_h]

Kwakkie, did you ever play a Duke Nukem game? That's the whole freaking schtick...listen to the voice over at the end...it's camp ass B movie killing aliens stuff...nothing slick about it really.

As for the trailer itself, can someone figure out how to animate cracking knuckles well? Seriously if you are going to make a point of it and do it in the camera then make it look good. Other than that...not enough to really critique...lets see a game now.

[Gavin]

Don, I'm pretty sure Gears tried to be a lot more emotional than Duke ever would. Just listen to the opening sequence, or read something Cliffy B said about thinking of the project. Compare that to offering strippers money...:)

[ThatDon]

Meh, Gears was a big corny laugh fest for me, don't know about you. I could care less what Cliffy B said, the fact is Gears is cheesy goodness.

[Marcus Dublin]

Eat Sh^%T and DIE!

[Gavin]

I dunno man, I shed a tear when Kim died.

[East]

OH MY GOD YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE!!!! :eek:
Hehe, close to what I envisioned, but I didn't expect to see anything other than Duke. Not clips of your opponents. In a way that would probably have been better.

I take it for what it is, a teaser trailer. I'm neither excited, nor disappointed. Mostly because I didn't have any expectations.

Duke looks pretty decently modeled, while the hair looks a bit ass. It could have used slightly more volume to it, not just completely spikey upwards. But I shouldn't judge, I haven't even ever made a model with hair, myself. Hell, I don't even have hair on my head :)

hahaha i didnt know u wore a dress Gavin ^_^

joke, only joke man, u know ur cool ^_^. but as far as gears goes i think its as corny as it gets. i mean look at cole train and his little songs. also just look at them all, ur telling me that all humans will take steroids in the future and have neck like tree trunks? everything just reeks of corny one liners straight out of an action movie b flick. but u know what, it was fun and thats the point so ill wait for the game to come out before i pass judgement.

[cookepuss]

LAMEST... TEASER... EVER... Its like they are trying to make a bad B-movie 'yeah we know its sucks, lets pretend we made it corny ON purpose so nobody can blame us for it being sucky' type of game.

Half of Duke's famous lines ARE ripped off from cheesy B movies. Watch the movie "They Live" with Roddy Piper. That's kinda the point. He's basically an action hero stuck with a B movie plot and supporting cast. Even the pig cops from the original 3D game were pure unadulterated cheese. If anything, based on this teaser, the cheese factor actually seems to be a bit smaller.

Roll back the HD footage. It's very clear that you do get to see some 1st person gameplay footage. You just don't see any HUD, which might make sense if its is being finalized or tweaked.

Plus, the fact that it is "just Duke pressing weights" may not seem significant, but it is clearly rendered using the real-time assets. Mind you, visually, it's not quite Gears of War, nor does it scream "10 years of work," but it does seem impressive enough.

Like most people, I'll continue to refer to it as "Duke Nukem Whenever" until the very day I've got it in my grubby hands. Still, at least we have some proof that 3D Realms hasn't exactly spent the past several years just hunting out net pr0n. :) (That'd only account for years 3-5. ;))

[Ramseus]

Cool. Now let's all wait five years for the next trailer to see what new modifications they've added to the engine.

[Kwakkie]

You guys are right about the B-Movie thing! What was I thinking!:flag:

[Kalango]

This music...rox!...kill...PIGS!:guns:

piece of cake dudes:cool: love this music...seems it will be a good game to play huh :D

[Ged]

could be fun, the assets shown in this trailer dont really look complete to be honest, so I dont think this is really ready to be shown publicly. Dukes got symettry issues and wierd wobbly uvmapping on the buckle, the textures on most of him just seem to be flat colours. The alien in the shot near the bus looks half textured(arms, legs and gun all gray?) and has polys sticking out his gun, the aliens face just looks like someones punched a cube up in zbrush...maybe thats on purpose though.
