Duke Nukem Forever Teaser Released 341
smithtuna33 writes "As of today there is a teaser up for Duke Nukem Forever at 3dRealms. It's up on Youtube as well, since the site is already slow. Not much actual game-play, but still ... might this game actually see the light of day after so much talk?" 1up, GameTrailers, and Voodoo Extreme have it too.

Does anybody still care about that game?
If it's a good game, people will care. If it's not, people won't. Really, what difference does it make how long it took to develop?
With all the rewrites, this is really Duke 7 anyway, with Duke 4-6 just not getting released.

Yeah I'm not jumping to that conclusion based on a cut-scene. There have been more complete trailers than that in years (many years) past. I'm sure not giving them the benefit of the doubt now. Still 100% vapor as far as I'm concerned.
Of course even if they did actually ship the game tomorrow, future comparisons to Duke Nukem would still imply a delay of over ten years, a lifetime in gaming.

I would have been much happier with some actual footage of somebody playing, or a tech demo movie.
I can't imagine that they're going to be able to turn a profit on it after all the years they've spent working on it. Daikatana was only in development for 3 years or so behind schedule, and suffered severely for it. 3DRealms could do better if they at least manage to release the first version in a mostly bug free package.
And of course I too label this one vaporware until I can actually download a demo.

It'll be about details. Mostly humorous.
There will be strippers you can pay, and rob. There will be pool-tables with semi-realistic billiard ball physics. There will be sinks you can smash and urinals you can piss in (and you'll gain health for this for some reason).
You won't be stuck some place with a 2-inch curb you can't climb over to keep you in. Instead, the map boundaries will seem reasonable. Or at least, physical. You might still question why someone built a building across a four-lane street...
And there will be genre-jokes. Perhaps there will even be an arcade with a working version of Ms. Astro Chicken or something, to which Duke makes some comment about it taking so long to come out and not being worth the wait.

I mean really naked... as in "we don't care about having an AO game, it's what we're aiming for" kind of naked women... in a videogame!
That would be the first of it's kind in American gaming! Everyone is scared shitless of doing it because they're scared no one will sell the game... Everyone knows Duke, demographics shows that most of the gamers can buy adult games without any problem, all they need is to release that legendary game and show the reality that we don't mind naked chicks, we like naked chicks, we want naked chicks, we're tired of almost-but-not-naked-enough-chicks from the "M" games! We want real Adult games, not the kiddie stuff!
Come on Duke, the future of gaming is in your hands! let us see some titties! Not yours, off course ^_^

Heck, most fps games since then haven't let you interact with and/or destroy as many objects in the environment as dn3d did. I'm always disappointed when despite the shiny new graphics in a new fps, the toilets are unflushable and invincible.
Fortunately, with physics being the current big thing, interactivity with the objects littering the levels is becoming more common.
