Well only 10 years since it was announced and 6+ since the original trailer...

Finally POSSIBLY some light at the end of the tunnel?

Heres the article pulled off Internode.

Tis the season to be jolly, it seems - especially if you work for 3D Realms, or if you (like so many other gamers) are looking forward to their little project, Duke Nukem Forever.

It seems that a few people who work for the company have been burning the midnight oil, working hard on the project that so many people have written off as just vaporware... and they finally have something to show for it. Not only have we gotten a very shiny new screenshot from the game, but they're promising, tomorrow morning, a brand new teaser trailer for the game.

Apparently, it was as much a surprise to the company as it is to us!

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.

...now, in case you'd forgotten, it's been more than ten years since Duke Nukem Forever was announced, way back in April 1997. The world didn't know about this Dance Dance Revolution concept in 1997, and Pokémon was a crazy idea that only existed in Japan. None of the Unreal games been seen, neither had Grand Theft Auto, Halo, or The Sims. There was no StarCraft, only one Diablo, and two Warcrafts, with World of Warcraft just a twinkle in a gamer's eye. There was no Xbox, Xbox 360, GameCube, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Wii, Sega Dreamcast, PSone, PS2, PS3, or PSP.

Yes, I drag these stats out every time DNF is mentioned. If you want to read more, check out the deliciously comprehensive Duke Nukem Forever List and marvel at what can be done in a decade.

Heres the NEWEST screenie that was released today as well

I remember pressing alt+F buttons and making prank phone calls with what he said :D

"What are you? Some kind of bottom feeding, scum sucking, algea eater?"

Also notably funny is how Duke Nukem Forever shortens to DNF (did not finish)...

Duke Nukem 3D was the shit, and should always be rememberd as the shit...

Ha! yes.

"im gonna rip off your head and shit down your neck"

"welcome to K T i T, ktit" hehehe

still behind on the graphics, but if its as addictive as DN3D was when i was first playing it at 14 then im in :)

Serious Sam held the hunger while DNF was in creation.. for the third time

I wish they'd make a Duke Nukem movie with Bruce Willis... and lots of naked chicks. Hope I'm not the only one who played DN3D with the boobie patch.

Bruce need to hit the roids then :banana:

Arno will be good---back in the days :blush:

there was a boobie patch??????? why wasnt i informed of this :banana:

haha I found a floppy disk a while back in my old boxes, and it had like 200 pixel by 150 pixel pics of naked wimmen, in 16 colour bitmaps. The dates on the files was like 1994. Ahh the beginnings of my porn collection.

lol... i think i was 8 or 9 when i first played it, i remember my brother bought it haha so long ago hopefully this is just as good.

hanging for this hope they dont let us down again, apparently the graphics engine has been through 3 or 4 changes, it was originally the doom3 engine i think then got modded to the havok farcry engine then patched to halflife 2 then scrapped all together and remade by a totally different developer i think duke has become a prosti :O lol been around alot in 10 yrs

I think it would be sick to play each and every game on each of the engines :P

And I still have Duke3d on like the first ever CD I got... it has heretik, doom 2, and a bunch of other games. like 18 all up or something... cause god knows there was no game that could take up an entire CD back then :O

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
