In-game footage of Duke Nukem Forever, here, now
Update: It’s true. We just watched it. It’s a nice looking shooter with a shrink ray. And a worm with teeth. It’s embedded after the link.
Or is was posted. Apparently this Jace Hall movie contained the first ever in-game footage of Duke Nukem Forever, but has not either been pulled or is having bandwidth issues.
According to the site: “Jace Hall lands an exclusive interview with George Broussard and Scott Miller of 3D Realms. He even gets to play Duke Nukem Forever, the game that’s been in development for over 12 years – and Jace has the footage to prove it!”
Plenty of the posters in this Evil Avatar thread saw it before it went tits up, so we’re keeping the faith that it did actually happen.
Hopefully someone’s nicked it and we can have a look this evening.

We saw this being made with the quake 2 engine and then scrapped and then remade on the unreal engine. God only knows how many engines this thing has been made on in the last 12 years but I feel sorry for the devs, I really do haha

Looks pretty good for the small amount of stuff we see.

I reckon that looks absolutely fine, to be honest. Nothing earth shattering, but it looks good all the same. Like the Doom 3 engine, or something.

I would say it looks like what doom 3 should of been

I’m still at a loss at to why they let him film it. Like, it’s been in development for 12 years and they let an ex-developer film it and put it on the internet as an embeddable movie?

They’ll probably release a full gameplay trailer in the near future, at E3 perhaps (hopefully just as smacking as the legendary E3 2001 DNF trailer), that other teaser at the end of 2007 already proved it was real as that was also all in-game engine stuff.

needs to be high def to get an idea of the quality but screw the quality, if the gameplay is there then job done.

How do you get the damn thing to play? I can’t find a ‘play’ button!

It should just start playing, I think.

Doesn’t seem to be working for me, then. Curses! If I hover over it I can see some text and some things to click, but the movie never actually plays. If I hit the pause button nothing happens either. Oh well.

Hmm, should this not have gotten some more celebration than this small video? Like, a parade or something?
