    It's all sort of extra funny/interesting because of this news post earlier about a weird sounding forum post by George...

    I don't even consider this a game that's been delayed 10 years, but rather yet another possible new game that shares a title and main character but little else with several other announced but never-made or cancelled games. I'd be curious to see what those old games would have been like, but they have almost nothing to do with whatever this game might be.

    That question about breaking even is an interesting one, though - do developers have some kind of insurance that comes into play if they run into problems with releasing a title? Otherwise, they're pretty much doomed to fail financially, aren't they? Like my friend who dropped out of medical school - if he had waited one more semester, he would have had to turn to a life of bank robbery to ever break even...

    I remember when my rig was equipped with a new, hardcore Voodoo2 and I was like, "Man, this thing is totally going to make DNF its bitch. Woo Unreal engine! I'm ready, motherfuckers!"

    And now my processor's L2 cache is about as large as the VRAM in some of the video cards from that era.

    Well, it's forgivable considering how much junk and extra items and weapons/ammo Duke usually carries around.

    He's got like, bullets and sandwiches in those things. Pouches are useful. Also, link that Liefeld 40 worst illustrations thing.

    Guys... we've already gotten 2 teaser trailers which proved to mean absolutely nothing in the end. The game is still never going to come out. There's no chance.

    Watch, this trailer is just going to be Duke flexing his muscles and saying one of his catch lines before a fade to black and "2008" appearing in white letters.

    Yeah. This is probably what's going to happen.

    I'm not going to make a self-cock-consuming wager about this, but it's still a pretty good bet that the final product won't be out anytime soon. I mean, it took them this long to make a teaser? Really? Not even a full trailer?

    Duke Nukem?.. HAHA! Fuck yes.

    To tell you the truth, I'd be happy if they released it OR if they delayed it again. If they released it, cool! New Duke Nukem game! If they delayed it, LOL that's still pretty funny... I would prefer that they release it though.

    I get how it's kind of silly that it's taking them this long to make a game, but it really only affects the company. As a consumer, I don't really care how long it takes someone to make a game. I hope they finish it, and I hope it's good, because, well, I like games.

    After the trailer goes online...these other late and highly anticipated events happen.

    -Amelia Earhart finally shows up in LA
    -The Y2K Bug finally hits.
    -They find the votes for Al Gore in Florida
    -My girlfriend finally gets her period

    I'm thinkin the teaser isn't going to last any longer than 30 seconds. 10 years = 30 seconds? Maybe.

    I hope i'm wrong, though.

    So wait which engine is this using now?

    First it was Quake 2, then Unreal 1.0 then Unreal 2.0, now it looks like it's stuck somewhere between Unreal Engine 2 and 3.

    How the mighty are slain..

    I wonder which we're still more likely to see first, SiN Episode 2, or DNF.

    :cry: I'm sad we'll never see SiN Ep2. I mean, whatever, it wasn't amazing, but it was $20 of fun.

    In-house engine. And physics. They claim they've built some wicked new shader technology that allows insane scaling along the lines of id's new engine.

    Seriously I think they should have really high res skins, but all designed on a low poly count, so that everything looks 2000-ish, or flatten the graphics so it looks like the pre-3D FPSs, and then have really flat lighting and all, but build everything else current gen.


    I should be in charge of art direction for this game.

    Neat, so they'll have more control over what they want the engine to do. The shaders still seem to have that "dipped in vasoline" look to them.
