The very
first episode of
The Jace Hall Show is now live, and it includes the impossible: footage of
Duke Nukem Forever. The segment with 3D Realms begins at 2:33, and we can honestly say that we appreciate host Jace Hall for asking the team "What the f*uck is taking so long?" The real fun, however, begins at 4:18, when we actually get a
tiny glimpse of the game in action. Fans of Duke Nukem 3D will notice plenty of things from the original game, including some of the classic weapons. Specifically, there is footage of the shrink ray including the ever important moment when Duke crushes his recently debigulated foe. Hall concludes by saying, "I saw it. They have been working. It's not a myth. You're going to be pleased."
Let's hope so.
Update: Find the (autoplaying) video after the break. Sorry 'bout that.

Holy crap. It's not an urban legend!
But your telling me it's taking so long because the guys working on the game are addicted to warcraft? Is anyone else pissed?

i have to disagree i think the gameplay looks remarkably average and standard run and gun fare. To be frank on that (limited) showing, it looks nowhere near as good as est. FPS games such as Crysis, CoD4, HL2, bioshock etc. Admittedly its only a glimpse but i see nothing to write home about
decidely average imo

Yeah, I don't know but from the little bit we saw in the video it looks very generic.....and other than Duke's voice there was nothing special here.
Still the video was really short so who knows the game might actually be cool, but as of right now its a BIG meh for me.

Crysis, beyond it's pretty trees, is awful mate. It's certainly not an established FPS either.

i dunno, i think any FPS can have crit levelled against it, Bioshock is largely linear, CoD is very linear, Doom 4 too dark etc etc. I think you have to judge each FPS on its merits and i think as a whole Crysis was an excellent game and introduced not only a great engine, but also good AI, story, and as a package was very good. COD4 was an excellent game, bioshock too. True in DN4E weve only seen a glimpse, whilst i hope it will be 'genre-defining' i cant help thinking when and IF it gets released its going to be another Daiktana (or however you spell that crap)
BTW - i played Bad company demo last night on XBLM - WOW - excellent game - NOW RELEASE FOR PC !!! :)

Embedded videos that just start playing themselves are very annoying.

Absolutely. If you have to post crappy players like that, post them after the fraggin break.

Yes Richard, please simply link to these videos next time instead of posting them directly here. The autoplay bogs down my page load and I can't scroll to read stories.

So it's basically a modified Prey?

Yeah, it definitely looks like Prey 2. 3D Realms better pull out all of the stops in making it funny and politically incorrect, otherwise it will be a big flop.

DNF has live gameplay footage?! Nice.
While this is great and all, how about an update on Duke Nukem 3d for the XBLA?
