When Duke Nukem Forever was first announced all those years ago (I believe we’ve reached a decade since it’s announcement), I think everyone had high hopes for the game. Year after year new screenshots were released, and excitement was palpable.

However, by 2003, after a graphics engine update, 3D Realms removed any screenshots on thier site, stating that “the screenshots and videos that were there have been removed as they no longer represent the game’s current look and feel.” The frontier has been fairly quiet since then, except for the fanboys and nay-sayers bickering here and there.

Finally, a teaser trailer has been released showcasing the current graphical elements of the game, as well as showing fans that the original voice actor, Jon St. John is still on board.

Just like Fallout 3, Everything is being “3d-ized” and I just feel that it’s losing some of the appeal it once had. Maybe 3D Realms should have just pulled the plug years ago, and not bothered. I’d rather be left with my memories of the originals, than feel let down by the latest release.

Well, at least there is a trailer to enjoy now, let the speculation begin! Enjoy the trailer over at shacknews.com
