Here is a funny question to think about:

How many purists will really resist the temptation and not watch the trailer so they can go into a game as unspoiled as possible?

My new desktop!

Great to hear some new news, Gametrailers forums are hillarious right now Bunch of "Duek nukem is takin foreva" jokes.

No one will be able to resist watching it, not even Stevie Wonder.

That's true

[kaisersoze]

Via the shack:

George said the teaser trailer will be in HD and weigh in at about 100 megs and is approx. a minute long.

I'm curious to know exactly how long we'll have to wait for the real unveiling which would be a proper trailer and screen shots.

A holiday teaser is pretty nice though. But a minute length seems a long time when you are waiting for something, but will go by quickly when you watch something.

Same with Fallout 3 teaser

Actually a funny thing I forgot to mention is that I randomly had decided to dig up and watch the old 2001 E3 video the other day. When I did that it was the first time in years that I'd watched it. Odd that I happened to do that only a matter of days before the next video would come out.

I'm curious if they would be at all willing to post a screen shot of Duke from the 2001 era so we could have a better side by side comparison of the difference over time.

I'm also curious to know why the new Duke looks so much different than the Duke from the previous screen shot, even though I think the new one looks way better.

Well since you mentioned "proper" trailer, I will something unlike me an d quote George:

Guys just to manage expectations...

This is a teaser. It's not a full blown trailer like the 2001 trailer (but something like that is coming). I tried to be clear about that in the message board post, so just bear in mind that it's a teaser

Enjoy.

You guys planning to launch the new redesigned site soon?

[Yatta]

Now that you mention it, yes. The HTML template for it is ready thanks to Usurper, and it's just a matter time before we tweak it and port it into our content management system.

[Steve]

oooh... 3D Realms forums are actually down. I'm getting database errors now.

[rockmx8]

Has any gaming websites as IGN or GAMESPOT received this news yet as well?

[godlike]

great news!!! Lets hope that DNF will fill our expectations.

[django]

This is so great! I'm speechless.

Very bittersweet, isn't it?

I'm happy but damn, pissed about the server melting down. I'd have thought Joe would be a bit better prepared for this and have his servers backed with nuke power plants.

Guess this is our chat room now guys.

The server isn't "melting", in fact it hasn't even gone down once. That message you see is from the forum software which prevents server going down at mass load times.

It doesn't mean it actually has gone down, this is just one measure in place to prevent it from going down and it's working.

[trackit]

hehe i have many times before hoped to see the trailer, but not this time, my faith was down a bit and i was sure we wount see anything this year and here we go

[Altered Reality]

Uhm, it doesn't look like much compared to Crysis. George had better switch to a newer engine before releasing the game.

JUST KIDDING! I posted this for the lulz!

[The Dukenator]

Anyone who comes here to read this thread, read this post:
http://www.duke4.net/forums/index.php?show...&#entry5371

Not going to repost it.

[Micki!]

I read that...
I have a certain suspicion of what Yatta is talking about, and what he showed you guys...

I'm not gonna say more though...

[kaisersoze]

Well it's pretty much impossible to get through to the 3dr forums right now.

Hope I'll be able to get through for the trailer.

[trackit]

yap, cant get through to 3DR forums 4 hours left till noon

[Micki!]

I'll lower my expectations for the Teaser... The screenshot is awesome, but i don't want to assume all kinds of things will happen, only to realize that none of that is shown...

So what i expect...

Duke, his voice, and some text... that's it...

[trackit]

i expect to see Duke in motion and some pretty smooth animations

[Nacho]

Damn, can't get opn the forums. Joe said he'd have that fixed for staff members.

Someone know a good file sharing site? I'll upload the video...when its officially released that is.

[socaljim]

So does this mean we are very close to Duke Nukem Forever coming out because of the trailer or does it mean nothing?
