DNF Teaser Video coming tomorrow

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, there has been a screen shot taken from the teaser and posted in our forums. Check it out here.

Thank you for being fans of the game and for your continued patience.

We'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).

The Duke is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know... trip mines are still some of the most fun I've ever had in a deathmatch

[Mehen]

Grooovy!!!

So that means the game should be released by... 2050?

[Jammrock]

You should never put a time stamp on DNF. "When it's ready," or the Matrox equal, soon(TM).

I read on their forums that DNF has gone through one engine change and two complete rewrites. Impressive.

[Nowhere]

Only one? They started on q2 engine from what I remember, then every major version of Unreal engine

[Tjalfe]

so what engine are they using now?.. last I raad about them, it was the unreal engine.. the original.

[rylan]

Are they working with BitBoys for some proprietary graphics acceleration features also?

[Nowhere]

OK... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_Gn9oh4afI

edit2: there's also torrent... http://www.mininova.org/tor/1054025

Probably gonna be crappy, sad to say.

[Elie]

I think they are either using the new Unreal engine or the Doom 3 engine.

I don't think it's going to be crappy after all these years, but even so, it's worth buying for the heck of it

My best death ever was dying to over a hundred of these. The game hung at that point.

[Mehen]

It's their own engine, basically a HEAVILY modified version of the original UT one. (Just like HL2 still has some old Quake1 and Quake2 code in it). If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[Elie]

Doom 3 and Unreal 2 engines are not broken? Hope it turns out ok.
