As you may already know, 3D Realms is dead. With them gone, the fate of Duke Nukem Forever is up in the air. We've been seeing some pictures from Duke Nukem Forever pop up around the Internet this past week, but what everyone has really been waiting for is for some gameplay footage. Thanks to Kfizz's quick blogging, we now have some awesome footage from the game.

First off, holy sh*t this looks great! The animation for the enemy Pigs and creatures looks great, the classic Duke humor is there (Duke freaking b*tch smacks the back of a giant bosses' head) and there's even a boss fight in a football stadium again! Sorry, there was going to be a boss fight in a football stadium. Wow. I think the shock of this possibly never coming out now is finally hitting me.

Video is Not Safe For Work as there's a topless stripper showing off her goods at the 0:49 mark. Youtube usually takes done videos with nudity pretty fast, so here's a backup of the footage over on our Viddler. Otherwise, hit the break to see what could have been.

[Update: Youtube video was taken down. Viddler video now after the break.]

mr spooky

I have been waiting for this. Probably the first 3-d pc game that I've ever played Duke Nukem 3-D.

MrSadistic

I ain't afraid of no Quake.

Charedj

Waaaaaaah god I hope this comes out!!!
And I totally think this is all a stunt to sell lots. but I'm keen.

Dr Milkdad

FUCK. Looked awesome, I hope someone else takes over development and releases the game already. It's kind of weird knowing the game will probably never be released now.

End of an era.

Antony 256

I can watch this all day.

Dan CiTi

So it really was the greatest game ever made...just as I expected.

weirdfunk

Huh.

Bigmoose85

10 years for this shit

Orionsaint

They need to finish this game! Don't let it all be in vein!

Tino

Wow, I can't believe this actually existed.

bermensch

Oh well too bad

Los255

Have the guys at 3D Realms answered the simple question of WTF they were doing for over 10 years?

Raidur

my god, I so wanted this to come out, and I still do.

Electro Lemon

Now, why the hell would someone advertise their website at the beginning of a video like that, and then make it require a password?

Also, what's with the Goozex thing on the video, CTZ?

The game looks similar to Prey at some parts, but overall it looks pretty cool.

Havoc Fang

1 Decade. All of this to see Duke put his finger up at a giant robot.

I think we can end gaming here, folks.

nebones

First trailer was better.

Danzflor

Luke Barnard

i'm not kidding, i actually have an erection after watching that.

ArcticFox

This game actually looked like it could have been awesome. I loved the cheesy one liners. Too bad.

AgentBBJ

Duke Nukem you will be missed. I hope that someone buys the Duke name and creates a game like this. PLEASE!!!

Monodi

@Luke Barnard

yeah i watched it for the tits too.

What is this video about, again?

TheCleaningGuy

It actually looked pretty damn good! Very alpha, but still...
I would have purchased it.

Dr Terror

@Bigmoose85
Yeah thats what I thought. Looks about 1 year into development ffs. At least 3DRealms had the good sense to redo Duke3D for XBLA before they crashed.

madninja

Wow, to think something that just looks that awesome could never see the light of day. So sad.

The Pat Man

I guess what people say is true, you honestly never knew what you had until you lost it. I hope someone else picks this up. Duke Nukem is too awesome to go down like this.

larktenchi

Shotgunning pigs looked awesome... too bad, if 3d realms had more time to polish this, this could turn out good...

I sure hope Arkham Asylum would be great *crosses fingers*, now that rumors are flying around of the delay.

Recession-proof my ass.

WarZombie

Wow, some of you are so easily impressed. No offense, but after being in development for over ten years, that looks like shit. The graphics look slightly worse than Prey's (Not a bad thing, but c'mon, they could do better), and it looks like they barely worked on it (Like the clipping that showed up). The animations were great, though.

Bigmoose85

@WarZombie

QFT

LMAO

Tits confirmed. No word on vaginas.

ThatOtherPerson

Am I really one of the only people that's unimpressed? If they released it I would want to at least try it for the novelty of playing what is undeniably the king of vaporware but seriously that looked like something that would have been an good average game 8 years ago.

ParaParaKing

Now I am really sad this will never get released.

Luke Barnard

@ monodi: the tits had nothing to do with it, the raw power of Duke Nukem's manliness is what lit my rocket. i'm gonna go play my 64 right now and kill some octobrains.

RAB

video has been removed due to violation of CTZ's anus

DV2FOX

ARRRLAAHHLAAAHH...they wanna prove that "Forever" means "FOREVER,idiots!" ^^;;;;;

Mr Jonson

A few days ago, the collective opinion on Duke Nukem Forever was that it was likely going to suck.

Now that 3D Realms is dead, the collective opinion seems to be that this game could have been awesome.

wtf?

anyways, I think Duke Nukem is an IP with awesome potential, and that current tech would allow for a great Duke Nukem game.

Tet

10 years of development and they planned QTE? Good riddance.

TewDee

You know whats sad? That looks really fun.10 years worth of development however? No.

MechaMonkey

Dear Pants,

Yeah, we're clear on this one. Nothing to worry about this time around.

Fondest regards,

MechaMonkey

skyler

video is gone T_T

Justice

Damn it's been removed due to terms of use violation!

SniperXan

Well, its looks better then I imagined, but whether is was going to suck or not I do wish 3DRealms could have finished it just to prove everyone wrong. It woulda sold well just because of the pure OMG factor of it sitting on a store shelf.

drhqnril

I do wonder if this is a marketing stunt. This really is turning the whole interwebs into a duke loving machine.
I mean, I hope so too. I'm an old duke lover, but I want a good product, not some bastard child of a threesome between Prey, a stripper and God of War.

Actually that might be not a bad idea.

Charedj

@ drhqnril
Seconded.

Burnt Meatloaf

Gameplay footage?

Animation and scripted scenes != gameplay.

DeusPayne

I don't get what all the hype is right now? It's still just as vaporware as it was last week, except now we KNOW it's not up to quality that should be expected after over a decade in development. To me, it looks like they once again ended up waiting too long, and their current tech is starting to look dated. I mean seriously, look at duke every time you see his arms. It looks like he's covered either in plastic, or sweats like a mother. This seriously looks like a launch title for the 360, not 2-3 years into the console, let alone a PC title. And considering the expected gameplay is "kill shit while smacking bastards and rescuing bitches", all you could have hoped for was crazy awesome graphics. Instead, we have a game that looks like it'll be more of a letdown that Daikatana.

lastSKYsamurai

argh, 4 hours too late.... bugger. I've never played DN, but I'm interested what a game that takes forever to be made plays like.

Jack Maverick

Ah, removed? I probably just missed one of the best trailers ever. Or just a bunch of animation showings with little to no gameplay in it. I may never know now.

Cyber Altair

It looks cool but in no way justifies all these years.

hjd uk

Yeah, that looks uh, ok. But 10 years for that? Investors got reamed on this one. Milestones people, milestones.

BRP

In terms of trailers I much preferred the previous one, although this is actually a show reel for the person who animated it. Its a shame, but after 10 years I can only hope that people go and make a good Duken Nukem mod with the source engine and end the long bloody wait finally, if this was a shot of where the game was heading I say fire the management and keep the animators and get someone who actually isn't sitting on their hands. Lets see if Take two can pull Duke out of the gutter.
