Duke Nukem Forever Footage Emerges Written Monday, May 11, 2009 by Dan Webb With the closure of 3D Realms late last week, former employees of the long standing studio are scrambling around trying to restore normality to their lives by bouncing back on their feet. Brian Brewer is one of these people and the latest clip he uploaded on to the web to showcase his skills are of the could-never-be title, Duke Nukem Forever. The clip showcases some of the trademark Duke humour with some pretty solid animation. It just makes us hope that someone picks it up and gets it out there. If Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy saw the light of day, we hope there is still hope here, although we're not holding our breath. | |

 | Comment #1 by mnorsworthy Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:16:50 AM NO FUCKING WAY !!!!! GUM. number 1 woop |
 | Comment #2 by Sgt Poppinfresh Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:17:06 AM I hope someone publishes this because it looks awesome, the kick-ass music might be clouding my judgement though. |
 | Comment #3 by dygel Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:17:31 AM Silicon Knights takes 10 years to make Too Human, and we made fun of them when they finally released it (and rightfully so). 3D Realms spends 13 years and failed to make a standard shooter with quick-time events, and the mourning puts Princess Di's funeral to shame. I, for one, am glad these leeches aren't sucking up any more capital in the gaming industry. |
 | Comment #4 by TESTUBE BABY 82 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:18:05 AM i thought 3d realms closed down |
 | Comment #5 by dylanmannen Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:21:45 AM i have also heard that 3D realms has closed down |
| Comment #6 by mnorsworthy Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:21:58 AM #3 - they have, but it looks like there getting this pre made trailer out in hopes of someone picks it up and finishing off of what looks like this master peice. |
 | Comment #7 by Webb Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:23:39 AM Hey #3 ... you must have read the first sentence? *facepalm* |
| Comment #8 by mnorsworthy Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:24:11 AM same to you #4 - did you to actually read the first line of this thread??? |
 | Comment #9 by lordskorrkeeper Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:24:21 AM looks pretty good imo, i might rent this bad boy! |
 | Comment #10 by Captain Urahara Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:24:46 AM I agree with #2. Too Human was a horrible game that took forever to come out. Duke Nukem Forever looks even worse, has taken longer, and still isn't out. I'm glad they closed down if this was the best they had. |
 | Comment #11 by ninja patience Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:25:22 AM looks good i just hope and pray it gets released... |
| Comment #12 by mnorsworthy Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:25:52 AM High five Webb *Clap* |
 | Comment #13 by Barry619 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:28:37 AM I saw this yesterday and too be honest, i thought the graphics suck, so yeah i know it's not finished or anything, but come on, when you've worked on a game this long you'd think it would look abit better, no wonder they only officially released them still rended images when the game still looked like this running, looks like it has a lot of work needed on it still, if they were still alive i don't it would be released for another 2 or 3 years earliest! |
 | Comment #14 by LukasKhan Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:30:01 AM does look pretty darned good, you'd expect it after all this time. hopefully someone will pick it up. |
| Comment #15 by Captain Urahara Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:30:15 AM Apparently, make that #3 I agree with. He was comment #2, and then after I posted he changed to comment #3 >.> |
 | Comment #16 by onemorechanc Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:36:37 AM I enjoyed the other Duke games way back in the day, but after seeing this clip ... maybe it should just die. |
| Comment #17 by dygel Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:36:57 AM You've gotta love how comments will just shift in number. Makes it really easy to follow conversations, eh? |
 | Comment #18 by Sk8er_0208 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:37:32 AM that looks soo good. shows they did actual do lot work of those 12 years? I so hope someone picks this up because just to see all that awsomeness and not be able to play it would be waste. |
 | Comment #19 by NeyahTheRogue Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:38:01 AM i saw boobies |
 | Comment #20 by webdoggy Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:42:09 AM Would be cool to see someone pick it up...but I have to agree with others; for the time it has taken, I'm not that impressed. I doubt it could ever live up to the hype that has been built up over the years. |
 | Comment #21 by wza 1337 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:42:23 AM i want duke nukem now !!! |
| Comment #22 by Sk8er_0208 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:44:03 AM bad graphics what you people talking about are we watching the same video here. Those graphics where pretty good and physics and other stuff looked good as well. |
 | Comment #23 by Dr Popodopolus Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:45:00 AM I thought 3D Realms closed down (joke). This actually looks quite good, maybe good enough for a 1600 MSP arcade release lol. |
 | Comment #24 by P1TTMAN Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:46:37 AM yay boobies |
 | Comment #25 by heatedGAZZMAN Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:48:25 AM hope this does come out. |
 | Comment #26 by dementedlullaby Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:50:09 AM Lulz @ Duke Nukem Forever. Because that's how long the game will take to come out. |
 | Comment #27 by Draconic Lord Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:51:05 AM :( I want it so badly. So very badly. Aaaaaaaargh,my poor 3D Realms. You'll always live in my heart Duke, I'll make sure I download it from XBLA even if I have it for Sega Saturn. Hail to the King, baby. Always! |
 | Comment #28 by Astrex Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:51:52 AM Would have been such a great game, hope someone else picks it up |
 | Comment #29 by Akrane Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 09:57:32 AM very nice |
 | Comment #30 by warlockv2 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:00:28 AM if nobody picks this up, somethings wrong, do they even understand how many sales there would be... its fking duke nukem... even if they fuck it up somehow, the game will sell like mad shit, i thought this game was gonna have shit graphics and i still wanted it ffs.... now by this trailer, it looks like old school duke, with awsome graphics |
 | Comment #31 by s.butler1 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:06:21 AM duke aint coming out, the developer clear needs a new job and is showing what he's been doing for the last few years, doesnt mean someone will take him on and say "ok now go finish duke" |
 | Comment #32 by Infomouse Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:09:00 AM lols |
 | Comment #33 by II M1CK3H II Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:15:47 AM Do want! :( |
 | Comment #34 by jappe66 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:16:01 AM wow, a lot of new games coming out :) |
 | Comment #35 by Zef Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:18:24 AM Bewbz!11 I don't like the voice though, even if it is in keeping with classic Nukem. |
 | Comment #36 by FinTacular Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:27:47 AM EA should pick this up. They saved Tim Schafer's Brutal Legend too. |
 | Comment #37 by xgonscm2 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:33:26 AM they should have leaked this 6-12 months ago to prove that it was being worked on.. |
 | Comment #38 by SuperchargedNL Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:40:55 AM The animations look cool, the rest doesn't look like a product they spent 10 years of development time on... |
 | Comment #39 by Asholay Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:44:58 AM Too little, too late - I don't really care about it much, but I would certainly have picked this game up - just because it's Duke Nukem. You've got to love the tongue-in-cheek humour! |
 | Comment #40 by WelshLogic Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:45:04 AM #36 too fucking right |
 | Comment #41 by CLB Left 4 Dead Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:51:46 AM mint! |
 | Comment #42 by Boosta Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 11:03:44 AM looks like shit |
 | Comment #43 by JustAFriend Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 11:17:46 AM they would ruin the series if they made another game i think |
 | Comment #44 by Homicidal_inc Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 11:20:07 AM Save Duke Anyone! |
| Comment #45 by Zef Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 11:21:34 AM If EA picked up the game there would be a dozen sequels by the end of the year. |
 | Comment #46 by OblivionGod123 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 11:26:11 AM not bad looks pretty much the same as the old playstation games this is a maybe buy game...if there is nothing else good out on the week it comes out...;) |
 | Comment #47 by I Priest x Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 11:46:17 AM Love the Duke No mather what!!!!! |
 | Comment #48 by [Waggly Bean] Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 11:58:38 AM That looks awesome, I don't know what's not to like there. Hope it gets picked up again... |
 | Comment #49 by Loosewheel Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:03:17 PM Someones has to pick this up, because itd be a shame not to. Although theres not much here to show for 12 years it still looks awesome. Liking the middle finger response! If it ever comes out, its a must buy for me. |
 | Comment #50 by Opayk Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:08:44 PM I'm pretty sure there was no polish on it and there were lots of placeholder stuff, even in the textured bit. Even then, it was looking good. C'mon EA, there's money to be made here... |
 | Comment #51 by Invader2010 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:20:06 PM Duke Nukem Lives on, I really hope someone picks this up..I don't care who picks it up at this point...just someone. This is a must buy for me, if it's ever officially picked up and announced...Pre-ordered that very day. |
 | Comment #52 by CardinalPiggles Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:22:53 PM id get this if it came out, not for achievements too, u gotta love the duke whether the graphics are good or not, and besides the graphics are the last thing you worry about when making a game. i see alot of potential here, u gotta remember also, that they havent really been trying very hard to make this game because they havent had the support to be honest. |
 | Comment #53 by Comrade D Rock Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:28:06 PM My question is, what the hell have they been doing the last 13 years? |
 | Comment #54 by Ninjamonkey6493 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:29:00 PM I hope it eventually comes out for ps3. I sold my xbox!!! HA HA HA!! PS3 Rulz and xbox stinks!( i am saying that after being a xbox fan for 5 years.) |
 | Comment #55 by l.maciver Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:30:50 PM the one problem i can see is this looks like a turok effect, turok looked very promising but when you got it you couldnt be bothered with it... cause you miss the past versions... lucky theres a arcade version on the 360 and that'll keep me amused. |
 | Comment #56 by BLQQDCQRE Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:32:01 PM Looks FFFFUUUUCCCCKKKKIIINNNGGG SSSSIIIICCCC!!!! |
 | Comment #57 by Lysander Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:37:50 PM Yeah boiiii! So much potential! Please someone pick this up! maybe Rare.... (if they could make the gameplay + brutality as good as the original Perfect Dark) |
 | Comment #58 by beezelBug Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:47:41 PM put him down. It really does not bother me. By the time I actually got around to playing the original game it was so far from release that it really was dated. The new game has been written and rewritten so many times you wonder if it was due to the poor game engine chosen(so they say) or the fact that they couldnt make a decent enough game. anyway, far too much time has passed so either drop it or make something that blows the player's heads off with jopy...because anything less and it will suck |
 | Comment #59 by xI DaR3DeViL Ix Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:48:00 PM Looks very Valve.... Im hoping they finish it up and send it on its way. Looking good, but not as good as the music. |
 | Comment #60 by Jewls Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:50:13 PM His voice acting sounds like a gay Pierce Brosnan. |
 | Comment #61 by MakoBallistic Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:56:01 PM some games just wont stay dead |
 | Comment #62 by Sulkybarbecue Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 12:59:25 PM looks gay. i expected more? |
 | Comment #63 by agentplatypus Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 01:08:52 PM Hooray for boobies! |
 | Comment #64 by daman12369 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 01:55:04 PM take two toke over creative control of Duke Nukem... dont worry guys! |
 | Comment #65 by komodokid77 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 02:00:58 PM Yay! And I thought I lost a bet when I heard 3D realms closed. |
 | Comment #66 by The Globalizer Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 02:09:09 PM Looks excellent. Hope someone picks this up and finishes it. Oh, and strippers FTW. |
 | Comment #67 by CammanFia Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 02:20:32 PM And the ironic thing is this is going to probably suck or be incredibly mediocre. |
 | Comment #68 by secretkaos187 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 02:20:48 PM If this is a representation of the un-finished game then whoever(if anyone)could polish and finish and make this BADASS!Valve sounds awesome |
 | Comment #69 by HT101 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 02:27:00 PM I don't know why I am so interested in any news about this game but 3D Realms has done their job in getting one person interested in the neverending saga of DNF. |
 | Comment #70 by Gariom Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 02:31:50 PM Am I the only one who thinks they should be required by law to publish this? I haven't even fully recovered from the blast of awesomeness from the PROTOTYPE intro, and now this? My head might asplode. |
 | Comment #71 by Kruz Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 02:33:00 PM it would be a crime not to finish this |
 | Comment #72 by Sandman1000 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 02:52:28 PM proble get picked up by someone because Duke Nukem a well known ceator that needs a next-gen game. Maybe EA or someone else |
 | Comment #73 by BlackTitan666 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 03:06:34 PM sweet |
 | Comment #74 by Nerotic Shadows Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 03:17:02 PM Am I the only person that really wasn't that impressed by this footage? |
 | Comment #75 by waterhead71 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 03:18:08 PM is all people care about these days are graphics?who cares? as long as the game is awesome the game is awesome in my book.if this does get picked up(cough INFINITY WARD cough)it would be awesome. BOOM BABY!!! |
 | Comment #76 by Mattymace666 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 03:50:34 PM why are they teasing us???? i want this game now!!! |
| Comment #77 by WelshLogic Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 04:14:23 PM i would give jade goody cancer for this game ....oh wait |
 | Comment #78 by x Povanator x Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 04:16:09 PM Wow that looked like one hell of a game i hope someone picks it up. RIP DUKE if not. |
| Comment #79 by GdogTheOne Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 05:07:01 PM YEAH YEAH! |
 | Comment #80 by ii br00tal ii Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 05:25:26 PM @45 And when has EA ever released multiple sequels in the same year? That's Activision, not EA. |
 | Comment #81 by Jmashed Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 05:32:56 PM Ok I get the "its taking forever shouldn't it look better?" but they RESET production quite a few times which means THEY STARTED FROM SCRATCH the sooner you people realize that the sooner you'll realize it isn't so god damn easy to make a video game, it takes a lot of hard work to release on schedule and when you have a team as small as 3D realms trying to release a 360 title and your bitching that it hasn't reached Gears of War standards then you really need to look some of this stuff up. At least with companies like 3D realms we get original titles like duke nukem(or Brutal Legend with Double Fine, which almost wasn't going to be made if it wasn't for games like GH III who set the demand for metal music in games through the roof), its to bad this game probably wont see the light of day, |
 | Comment #82 by DarkenHell Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 05:53:08 PM It's cool how they remake old classic games but not sure about how well this game will be. Doom & Duke Nukem are the 1st two games I played when I started gaming so this interest me a lil... I would like a demo if anything.. |
 | Comment #83 by AE 20 Diamonds Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 06:18:04 PM hope this game gets picked up, and what possible reason does anyone have to continuosly bash too human (UNFAIRLY I might add) can't handle new and innovative controls? |
 | Comment #84 by jacman84 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 07:42:53 PM man I think this would be good, this is only development images, the actual thing would have been amazing, and gotta love the ego bar in the top left |
 | Comment #85 by xtreme3600 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:03:39 PM i dont get the guns n roses part, please someone send me a message |
 | Comment #86 by Dave of Canada Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 10:17:17 PM Unpolished, and not completely finished - and it still looks badass. |
 | Comment #87 by SGT MOTORBREATH Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 11:01:36 PM All of you who say it looks like it sucks it doesnt matter what the graphics are ya they have been working on for years but Duke Nukem is just a CLASSIC We'd love to see it on a next gen console! |
 | Comment #88 by Krueger1428 Monday, May 11, 2009 @ 11:35:07 PM I've been waiting for this game FOREVER (get it?). Seriously though I hope it finally comes out eventually, I love the series, and I'm a huge fan. |
 | Comment #89 by OmegaHunter84 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 @ 12:17:46 AM There's nothing cool looking about this. I think people are just like "Holy Shit! That's Duke Nukem music! Hey! That's Duke talking! WOW!" If this was any other canceled shooter and you people were seeing the same footage with the same shit-quality Duke voice (I mean why does he still sound muffled? Is that deliberate?) you'd be saying "I'm glad this piece of shit isn't going to see the light of day." But slap Duke Nukem on it and you piss and moan about how you hope someone picks it up. It took 13 years and millions of dollars to get what you see here. No one's going to dump more money into it. |
 | Comment #90 by hippie4life Tuesday, May 12, 2009 @ 07:37:17 AM 1 word. Awesomeness |
 | Comment #91 by Fiveisthenewsix Tuesday, May 12, 2009 @ 09:03:40 AM This is an animator's reel, like a business card or resume, of his work. This doesn't necessarily mean this is what the game looked like. Video shows what he worked on for the game, and is not a trailer by any means. That said, I'm not losing any sleep over this one. Looked like interesting boss battles, but nothing revolutionary. |
 | Comment #92 by kizwiz Tuesday, May 12, 2009 @ 12:50:25 PM Lol, I was watching this trailer thinking 'wow the gameplay and enemies seem really familiar to Prey' forgetting that 3D Studios made both games lol. I loved Prey and shamed the sequel isnt coming out, but if some developer decides to pick up this game I would def buy it. |
| Comment #93 by Dave of Canada Tuesday, May 12, 2009 @ 02:59:08 PM Since people aren't aware.. This very song existed way before this, the voice of Duke and everything was made from Duke Nukem 3D - not Forever. |
 | Comment #94 by Cyberfire451 Tuesday, May 12, 2009 @ 03:45:41 PM For those our there who keep saying "It took 13 years and millions of dollars to get what you see here." This game has not been in development for 13 years. It was more an idea for most of that time. |
 | Comment #95 by Major Pancakes Tuesday, May 12, 2009 @ 08:52:49 PM 3D Realms consists of 30ish people, Bungie consists of "130+". 3D Realms has always been a very cosy company which makes the development slower - although admitedly that doesn't justify this slow. The trailer bugs me - it has moments of brilliance but then there is a hideous texture or effect that ruins the nostalgic renovated feel. I *really* don't like what looks like a complete redesign of the Pig-cop. |
 | Comment #96 by Freshmaker Tuesday, May 12, 2009 @ 09:31:59 PM looked like something that would have been good on the PS2 Or Xbox Original, but the way the graphics are I doubt hardly anyone would have gotten it on the PS3, 360, or even Wii, when it comes to the whole new generation of gaming nowadays it consists on merly 3 things, Graphics, Controls, and Foremost Gameplay, to me it's everything,including Story, Sound, Effects, Voice, almost anything to make a game worth keeping or even playing once |
 | Comment #97 by sicbass46 Wednesday, May 13, 2009 @ 05:11:56 PM Duke Nuken makes halo nerds eat pee pee for breakfast! |
