Duke Nuke Em Forever Trailer Hits Tomorrow

This just in from George Broussard over on the 3D Realms Forums:

"Last Saturday we had our annual company Christmas party. It was a lot of 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.

Tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th, around noon CST, we will release the first teaser trailer from Duke Nukem Forever. To tide you over until then, here is a screen shot taken from the teaser.

Thank you for being fans of the game and for your continued patience.

I'd like to thank the people on the team that worked so hard to create this teaser and the friends of 3DR that helped create it (Jeremy Soule and Julian Soule, Frank Bry, Jason Evigan and of course, Jon St. John)."

That's right, it's the end of times. Now translating that from 3D Realms Central Time that means we should be checking out the video around 2 p.m. Mountain, 2027.

What? Duke Nukem Forever might actually be released? BLASPHEMY!

Don't forget that they also released a trailer back in 2001, so this may not mean anything.

Yeah but they've been pressured to finish the game. At the very least they've been doing something on it But yeah, we'll see.

Lol, awesome.

I'm ready to kickass and chew bubblegum.

And I'm all out of gum.

[Dechipher]

I'm all out of ass.

And I looked as he open the sixth seal, and behold, there was a great earthquake. And the sun became as black as sackcloth, and the moon became as blood.

:o But...if this game comes out...

Then we cna no longer make jokes like: "It's called duke nukem forever because it's in development Forever!"

Nooooooooooooo!

Jeremy and Julian Soule! They were the composers for Secret of Evermore. So, I guess they probably composed the music for the trailer, and maybe for the game.

I always liked the music in Evermore.

On a serious note, I thought it was a pun on the word "four" since its 'officially' the 4th game in the series. Much like the 4th Hot Shots golf game being called "Hot Shots Golf: Fore!" Of course, there has been so many Duke Nukem games released since Duke Nukem 3D and now, I guess the title doesn't really have that meaning anymore, or I'm just mistaken.

The visuals looks surprisingly good though for a game in development for 10 or more years. Its doesnt' look as dated as say Call of Cthulhu or S.T.A.L.K.E.R., although the latter wasn't that bad. Even though it has switched game engines 3 times or more, I figured time would have still caught up with it more. It is just an image though, so maybe it does look worse.

I wonder if that cigar smoke we see is volumetric smoke like Hell Gate: London was suppose to have.
