3D Realms: Duke Nukem Forever teaser coming on December 19

Vaporware, shovelware, call Duke Nukem Forever whatever you like – but the guys over at 3D Realms are still determined to deliver the quintessential Duke Nukem experience yet, and they’re going to release a trailer tomorrow to prove just that. Yes, you read that right – a teaser trailer of Duke Nukem Forever with actual gameplay. Yes, we know, our monocles popped off too!

Check out the entire scoop in the full article.

Here’s some good news for those of us who’ve kept the faith with 3DRealms‘ yet-to-be-released epic, Duke Nukem Forever: it seems that the guys behind the project are getting into the holiday season, as they’ve recently confirmed that a teaser trailer of the game is coming soon through a post in their official forums. So soon, in fact, that it’s going to be released on Wednesday, December 19 around noon, Central time, for all the world to see – just like the teaser screenshot above.

And it’s not just going to be a mere clip of pre-rendered cinematic footage, either – George Broussard of 3D Realms himself says that it will contain actual gameplay footage, something that we’ve all been painfully deprived of. He also promises that there will be more of Duke to go around after the trailer itself has been released. The forum post that says this, verbatim:

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.

While we certainly can think of great company Christmas party gifts – the phrase “massive tax-free raise” comes to mind – we honestly can’t conceive of a more awesome present than having the privilege of seeing something like the first Duke Nukem Forever teaser trailer. Jaws must have dropped before the party hats were handed out.

In the meantime, let’s all join hands to wait for the coming of the baddest dude ever to grace this industry, and hope that it won’t be long before we can finally play the game. Hail to the king, baby!
