Duke Nukem Forever, best known for being highly anticipated and never coming out, is really a sad story. Granted not as sad as the one about the baby ducks that all die in the end, but still a tearjerker.

Hit the jump for a video of that action that never was.

Moo

so sad :(

Chaingun using magazines? But then it's no longer a chaingun!

Yeah... 5 years ago that would have looked awesome. But i think kids in game art college make better looking games right now.

RIP DNF. :(

OH MY GOD you just ruined my day gw :'(. I LOVE duke nukem and this could be sooooo awesome.. why people? WHYYYYY!?!?!?! *break into tears*

now i'm wondering, if this actually came out, would Halo still be as popular?

Wait! I love this game...why am I not playing it right now? If this footage exists, I need to kick ass and chew bubblegum. Damn! Out of gum.

OMG I didn't think this game was going to happen. I read in gameinformer that it was up in court and shit. That it looked pretty grim about a next duke nukem. I am just afraid that the generation of gamers we have now, are too young to understand what this game really is.

BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS

Bluezorro -

not sure if you know, but the bubblegum/ass-kicking line is originally from the John Carpenter film "They Live", starring Rowdy Roddy Piper.

Going into the stripclubs in Duke Nuken 3-D was one of the best gaming moments of my life.

Now this is odd that you would post this now.
This came out months and months ago after the studio was closed during the 2 weeks of leaked concept art, gameplay footage and timelines

Undoubtedly the product of "the" law suit in which 3D realms had to showcase that such intellectual property did in fact exist based on them being paid and all and never delivering for over a decade. Perhaps the largest blatant display of milking a payday in that trade, and single-handedly shown how ridiculously wealthy the corporations within the video game industry are to allow such laziness to run amok. After all is said and done, the game will get passed around and finished under a new dev/pub. What people will (should) ultimately remember is 3D Realms and the very last breath of arrogance that was fueling 1990's tech design. RIP and congrats, you guys had to find out the hard way that you're expendable all because you couldn't come to grips that the newest game will always be built on last year's tech.

WTFAYTA???

That baby ducks ending was Awesome! LMAO!!!

Crap for a minute I thought DNF stood for Did Not Finish, which is still true.

Have to agree with the earlier poster, this would have been awesome back when Half Life 2 came out. Now it just looks like a HL clone except with a talking protagonist, and honestly with that voice I'd rather he be silent. I was hoping they would go for a darker Duke. He just comes off like a shitty early 90's action star in the clip.

The one thing I do like is the variety of environments. Looks like they wanted to change things up quite a bit throughout the game. Also the fact they used more than a 5 color palette.

Has anyone else noticed that DNF also stands for "Did not finish"?

Yawn..... Nothing that HL didnt do years ago.

The water effect sucks

Shake it baby! If Duke won't save our chicks, who will?

Looks like it would have been the equivalency of an awesome man baby of Half Life 2 and Serious Sam

Hail to the king baby!

i'll never fully understand the awsomeness that i jsut witnessed due to my age..but all i can say is my video gaming started with the ps1, and i can definatley appreciate this game as much as any oldschool gamer. soo sad that'll i'll never see it :(

I would play it. And live it. Muahahaha!!!

fileplanet have a duke nukem demo released on thier website, it was released 5 days ago. dont fall for it, i was skeptical to say the least, and i was right, FUCK FILEPLANET!!

I'VE GOT BALLS OF STEEL!

i remember being all excited back in 97 about this game "comming soon"...... it was to be based on the super awesome Unreal Engine!!!! now im just a bitter older man when it comes to Duke.......

This honestly looks like a Halflife 2 mod. Are you sure your sources are right?

10 years and this is ALL they have to show for it? SERIOUSLY!? come on, it just looks like any other shooter, the only difference is the DN voice actor that make's it kinda funny. I for one am not impressed.

so weak, i was anticipating this coming out for so long. i need more nukem, and more strippers to throw money at. damned everythings.

killy, are you a friend of marho?

I don't understand why the hell this was so hard to make. Surely someone could have done it.

@3 EXACTLY, THAT'S WHY THEY CALL IT A CHAIN GUN NOT A CLIP GUN =p

I still have faith that some day this game will be released.
Always bet on Duke.

I like how he ricocheted a grenade right back at himself at ~2:57.

May the person(s) responsible for this never being finished suffer a fate worse than Adolph Hitler himself.

Why is it that every single in-game preview video that any game company releases is made by the absolute WORST player in the entire bloody company? You would think they could get at least half-decent players to do their preview demos...

So, anyone else' standards for gaming gone up in the last 10 years?

Jeezus christ guys you need to remember Duke Nukem is old skool. Half Life is nothing compared to Dukes classic arcade action.

This comes from a time before the word "noob" was ever invented in geek terminology. For all those idiots and fools out there fucking around there FPS with shitty weapons, Duke Nukem is where it all started showing the effectiveness of the largest amount of firepower aimed directly at the crotch/face.

Suck it up and weep losers, you'll never learn the rules like Duke Nukem taught me!

Honestly, what has failed this hard EVER?

This games lack of success is on some IBM letting Gates keep the code levels. Aside from the new star wars movies i cant think of anything blowing it this badly.

10 years? COME ON!

Heh, Old skool.
I bet most of the people watching this don't even remember when he was a 2D platformer.

@ whitwoc: Good thing I'm not most people as I own all three episodes of Duke NUKUM <-- (Notice?), the full release of Duke Nukem 2 and Duke Nukem 3D Atomic edition :)

Ah, the days before Microsoft wanted part of the Console & FPS pie...

EPIC FAIL..mainly becous there where no strippers like in Duke Nukem 3D..

This looks like the past. In a good way.

Second game I ever bought was the exotic-themed version of DN3D. Oh, the fun.

Wow, this is awful.

this game looks gay

this video is terrible :((((
