That was unexpected.

I particularly like "rest assured more is coming." As always, they cleverly made no mention of anything that could translate to a time guestimate, but it's so exciting!
...

There seems to be a lot of mention around the interwebs of people thinking that this will not work well because the concept of a catch-phrase totin` guy with bad attitude died with its time...
I think that will just make it more awesome! A completely unusual return to the days of campy dialog and absurd "action-packed" situations.

Of course, a teaser means nothing. All it means is I must spend a while expecting DNF news, only to realize that it will never come :(



Have the teaser shot. Note: may break tables.

Why he looks like a pumped up Bruce Willis in "Die Hard"?

Bleh, I only believe this game when is out for sale :P~

Luckily we have Doom3 - both the game and the "movie". But I think that in those all "campy" was unintentional... :)

Maybe I can finally use that $30 coupon I won in one of their camera contests back in 1997, which I was saving for DNF all these years!

Or maybe I can sell it on Ebay for a hefty markup.

PS:
I have a copy of Duke 3D signed by the LevelLord.

Still not out yet, it seems.

Gotta love YouTube for doing the hardwork of downloading a video from an overloaded server for me.

Yeah my first thought when I saw the screenshot was "huh that looks just like Bruce Willis."

Better than the old DNF poster where he looked like Drew Carey.

This is awesome.

Not impressed. Looks too much like Doom 3 and Prey, which themselves didn't look good. 2001 trailer looked loads better.

That new video is nothing more than blatant bentness.

I ask you all - what does it show about the actual gameplay of this game that has been in development for years? The answer is nothing. Total bentness.

Duke Nukem is bent. That cigar is clearly just a substitute.

Totally bent.

Always bet on the duke...

Yes, you can't beat John Wayne :)

Hmm - 'always bet on the Marion' doesn't quite have the same ring...

You know what, I agree completely with sswifty. Hopefully all that stuff has been kept in.

There's just one person on earth that can punch Chuck Norris right in the face and it's the Duke! :)

Meh,...nothing to see here.

I think the best thing they could do to this franchise is to never release it. ANYTHING with this much hype is bound to be a huge disappointment. Instead, they should just release new trailers every 6 or 7 years to keep the rabid fans drooling. :)

The video is a teaser, not an ad/gameplay footage.

Teaser's are just for hype building, or showing off something for no reason other than showing it off, like the recent Brutal Legends teaser.

ANYTHING with this much hype is bound to be a huge disappointment.

Tend to agree with this, too. These hype building teasers are great if another third party is secretly working on a Duke title though. Keeps the fans interested in the IP...
