Duke4.net´s Plagman Recalls New DNF Trailer from PAX
I'd say the trailer was 2 minutes long or so. There was music, mostly metal. Definitely not a teaser, we sat there for a while. I don't recall hearing the grabbag theme, it was just generic metal rythms as the action pumped up.
The first part of the trailer definitely had some orchestral/epic kind of stuff, but it was used at a set up. The beginning went like "a long time ago, a man saved the world; then he disappeared" (while showing views of the city and a golden statue of Duke posing like the cover of Duke3D). "When the aliens came back" (aliens, pig cops throwing the statue to the ground using rope) "they made only one mistake: they went after our babes." (Duke one-liner, metal music, clips of Duke kicking ass).
Then a bunch of one-liners cut with action scenes, strippers, etc. There was one scene where duke shattered a frozen enemy with a kick, another one where he stomped a shrunken pig cop. At one point he grabbed a dying pig cop by the horn and ripped the horn out with his hand. There was a clip of the three-breasted alien queen where he said "Hell, I'd still hit it". An alien sphincter/ship interior that looked very much like Prey.
Duke Nukem Forever Coming to Amsterdam
Looks like Duke doesn't end with PAX!
We have asked Jan Johan aka JJ the PR man behind Blammo, what we could expect. Would this be the PAX demo? Will we see a playable version? He gave us the typical response: "No Comment"
Thanks for the heads up, Popyx. Duke4.net's RedSplat doesn't live too far from Amsterdam... maybe he'll get us an exclusive peak?
Update: Our community member Gurty will be attending First Look on behalf of Duke4.net in order to report information for our website! Ticket sales have already begun, so you can order a ticket to the event anytime on First Look's website,
High Quality Gameplay Footage
If you're like me, you've been avoiding reruns of the 2K Feed because the quality is too fucking shitty. While we wait for the 2+ minute trailer (which reportedly boasts sexy heavy metal music), here are some high quality videos fans were able to sneak out of PAX over the weekend:
You can see the guy recording the second video (above) almost got caught towards the end! Here's another cool video from GameTrailers (thanks Honza and Commando Nukem).
Also, our users BugsBunny and VinsaneOne directed my attention to a cool short interview with the voice of Duke Nukem, Jon St John. It's pretty funny!

Machinima's 3DR History, DNF Gearbox Rumors
Even if you've been waiting for Duke Nukem Forever... forever, you probably don't know about the early days of its creators, and the amazing rise to, and fall from, grace that they achieved. Machinima's several-part video may interest all fans:
There's also a rumor going on at Kotaku that Gearbox (which developed Borderlands) has taken over working on Duke Nukem Forever:
At the end of the day, remember what we hinted. Thanks to Olivier, Para-noir, udenrasse, and Jobi (who also found this) for the heads up!
Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project Review
We recently announced the Xbox Live Arcade of this 2002 classic--if you've never heard of DNMP before, you had better brush up with Wiki.
If you did in fact play DNMP back when it came out on PC in 2002, you would remember it as a run and gun side-scrolling classic. DNMP was probably the best third-party Duke Nukem game ever made, and while Sunstorm Interative went under in 2003 as a result of financial and staffing-related issues, 3D Realms was able to retrieve the rights to the game in order to port it to the Xbox Live Arcade.
A Few Interesting Remarks by 3DR Founders & Fans
George Broussard: It's bittersweet. We went though a lot that we didn't have to because of a publisher that was all too willing to use their legal team as a weapon.
Had we not crafted a creative solution to the suit, it could have drug on and on and things could have stayed in limbo much longer than they were and it could have been a lose-lose-lose situation for us, Take 2 and the fans.
George Broussard: Two facts: We haven't said anything. The [3DR DNF] forum is still open.
Scott Miller: Thanks Evan. Good news ahead this year...
Couple that with some fan speculation here [1], here [2], and here, and this becomes very interesting!
