I know, I know. I did a double-take too when I saw this. After ten years of developmen hell, are they actually going to finish the damn thing, or are they just pulling our collective legs?

Here's the link.

This just in from George Broussard over on the 3D Realms Forums:

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)."

That's right, it's the end of times. Now translating that from 3D Realms Central Time that means we should be checking out the video around 2 p.m. Mountain, 2027.

Make of it what you will, but I wouldn't get my hopes up until the game is on the shelves.

EDIT: Quoted the text for those of you who hate to click links.

If the Wii is one of the platforms it'll be for, the Zapper is going to have a field day with this game, I think.

Where's that sheet that said what's been accomplished in a shorter time span than Duke Nukem Forever?

Needless to say i could care less until it actually shows real signs of hitting shelves.

Er, aren't a ton of bad things supposed to happen when DNF comes out? Like Y2k, except real?

Heh, the comments on that website are funny.

Too bad the Funcoland I reserved it at 10 years ago closed down.

...I especially like that in the time that it's taken to develop Duke Nukem Forever (so far), the Beatles formed, released every single one of their albums and broke up, and managed a handful of world tours.

I'll believe it when it gets released.

I won't believe it, even then. It's taken so long that I'm becoming more and more convinced that it's just a figment of my imagination.

This?

The more important question: Will it come with a free set of steak knives?

No. That'd add a few more years to development.

Since there's no actual game footage, it might just be a multimillion dollar gag. Ever seen Wag the Dog?

Great film. A little too close to reality, really.

Yeah, when I saw the words "teaser trailer", that's exactly what I thought.

It's gonna be Daikatana, only ten times worse, if only because of all the unrealistic expectations engendered from all those years of waiting.

This isn't the first trailer they've released, and likely not to be the last. This is just another minor milestone in the craptastic failure that is DNF.

In 2001 they at least demonstrated gameplay! And some pretty decent graphics for the time.

This time, we just get a little movie. That's not showing me much.
