At least, according to George Broussard there will be.

Quote:
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. After seeing the teaser we thought it was something we should share with all of you and while it’s just a teaser, rest assured more is coming. Tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th, around noon CST, we will release the first teaser trailer from Duke Nukem Forever. To tide you over until then, here is a screen shot taken from the teaser. Thank you for being fans of the game and for your continued patience. I’d like to thank the people on the team that worked so hard to create this teaser and the friends of 3DR that helped create it (Jeremy Soule and Julian Soule, Frank Bry, Jason Evigan and of course, Jon St. John).

Could this be? Will this game actually ever see the light of day?

I didn’t know anyone was still working on this.

Tomorrow will be the day the internet chokes and dies.

4

Cool! And maybe we’ll also get a sneak preview of The Phantom Menace trailer with it!!

5

I imagine this will use exactly 0% in-game assets. So, basically, a 30-second CG movie featuring a character no one cares about for a game that will never be released.

6

Hell, if this is actually happening, maybe someone, somewhere can get off their ass, kill somebody and get Starcraft: Ghost made, too!

Is it more sad that I still care or that I’m worried about the fact that I still care?

ETA:
Although I do agree that it’s just a CG movie that will not do anything to show that they are actually making any progress on a game.

Yes.

Okay, did you see the screenshot taken from the teaser?

That is real time, not cg.

what is this 1999?

Edit:

Sorry I just saw someone already made a phantom mencae related joke.

According to Broussard it’ll be about a minute long and will contain some in-game footage.

Wait, the game is getting called “Duke 4-Ever”? Boo.

Anyway, that screenshot was mighty. This could be a fun game if they keep it simple.

13

I’ll be happy if this trailer has a shot of Duke using the shrink ray on a pig cop and then squashing him under his mighty boot.

Ahhh, memories…

Chunky Lover 53, I am looking forward to a Duke Nukem game…Maybe it will arrive in time for Christmas 2015.

I hear a free copy of Chinese Democracy will be included in every box.

OH SNAP!

Edited to add: I’m still hopeful about this game. I don’t know why…I think it actually accounts for the last vestiges of my naivete.

The trailer is available now

Looks pretty, but that’s about it so far.

The site is kind of getting hammered right now. If you want the flash video file directly (should play in Windows Media Player or VLC) you can get it here: http://cdn.shacknews.com/public/video/11558.flv

ETA: or use the YouTube link below. It’s about the same quality.

I liked it, although the quick cutting of the brief in-game action bits made those parts hard to follow.

So is the titile Duke Nukem Forever because he cannot die, is forever working out, or has he been on steroids all his life? forget forever, the title should be Duke Nukem: Releases When Pig Cops Fly.
