Duke Nukem Forever..
Filed Under Gaming
Today I was doing my usual lunch time news whoring when I stumbled upon a teaser trailer to Duke Nukem Forever. Perhaps the most famed video game to never be released DNF has been the butt of Internet jokes for 10 years now. It’s a pretty good trailer, Graphics seem ok but honestly does it matter what the graphics look like? Just seeing this thing released will be a feat in itself. But my question is what in the world would you even do if it does someday get released? Will you buy it just because it’s DNF and an instant collectors item? Or maybe you are hoping there is an updated strip club in the game so you can get your jollies off a slightly less pixilated pair of tits.
Within minutes of it’s release poor Shack News who got the first exclusive trailer link was brought to it’s knee’s by Digg. At last check the site was still getting just hammered (pun intended).
Personally the thing that struck me the most when I started thinking is how long ago this game was announced, I was about to graduate high school myself.. the writer on ShackNews was in the 7th grade. It was a brisk day in 1997 when first news of DNF came to the world. In 2001 a trailer was released at E3 that never came to be, since then it’s been redone in a new engine among other things. The developer still joke’s that the game will be released "When it’s done" and that we should be seeing more stuff. I’m not holding my breath.. but I am kicking ass and chewing bubble gum.
