As has been mentioned, DNF has released teasers before only to delay things.

With a game that has won as many vapourware awards as DNF, I'll believe it when I see it on store shelves.

Although, rumour has it that there is more info after the intro at Zombo.com

Duke 3D had some of the best quotes ever!

Including....

"You're an inspiration for birth control!"
"Its time to kick ass and chew bubble gum... and I'm all outta gum.."
"What are you? Some bottom-feeding, scum sucking algae eater?"

Duke must have the same trainer as Roger Clemons

Also the nuclear symbol on the gloves is a bit much.

We used to skip school - well it wasn't really skipping at Bishop Carrol, we'd go to my house and play Duke3d between a few of my computers at home. It was a 1995/96. I honestly don't think I've enjoyed a video game more in my life. The speed and ease that you could play that game. Anyone could pick it up in minutes, but still you could dominate with the shotgun, rocket launcher and trip mines. Totally just remembered the video camera that you could look around where people were (shows in youtube clip above).

WOW, I'd love to see a new one, although hopefully it'd capture some of the magic of the old one.

I played multiplayer DN3D all the time... what a fantastic game when I was in Grade 7 and 8... just, rediculous. That, and Red Alert... two awesome games.

That was by far the best part. Mind you I was like 10 when I was play Duke3d
That is until my buddies mom turned off the nudity and swearing. But since technology sucked, we could still go to where the stripper was and pay an invisible stripper

Hah. A group of us at BCHS set it up on a bunch of the computers in CTS (down in the basement), right about the same time you mentioned. Nothing like having 8 people playing a Duke match after hours and having a teacher walk in and wonder what the heck was going on.

I have a feeling that the new Duke is going to miss it's expectations. Mostly due to competition and consolitis.

There are lots of people who graduate after 20 years of combined schooling.

We call them doctors.

HAHA, 4 years for sure!!

It set me up for 7 of Uni (undergrad)

I was so sad when Duke3D wouldn't work on Windows XP, you could run it, but the networking from dos wasn't there anymore. I think XP disable IPX in dos or something.

So much fun though, lights turned off, everyone in different rooms, yelling to each other after you killed the person! Ahhh.. High school!

Yeah, I agree CC, it'll never capture the same way it did before.

I agree with most posters in saying that Duke Nukem was the best first person shoot of its time. However one classical favorite of mine was Wolfenstien 3D. Hours and hours of nazi shooting entertainment!

One of mine too, did you try Return to Castle Wolfenstien?

And another is being developed right now.

I played Duke3D a lot when I was younger. Classic game. I never had a computer that was able to run it so I always played it at my friends house or my uncles house. And of course my brother would want a turn when we were at my uncles house so I would leave him to play it. One time he called me into the room to fix the game because it had froze. I close out of the game and open up the CD drive to see nothing in there. I said where is the CD? He said it was in that CD drive and pointed to the 5 1/2" floppy drive. My uncle had fun getting the CD out of that. I've never let my brother live that down.

Wolfenstien was great. I was partial to Blake Stone myself. Running around a futuristic office complex killing genetic mutations was a blast.

Modem play was great on that. "Mom, don't pick up the phone!!" Haha, classic.

I remember those holograms you could get in online play. I'd put the hologram in a big open spot, then use the jet pack to hover above the door. When my buddy would come in running and firing, I'd drop down and shoot him in the back with the rocket launcher. Man, he'd get so pissed .... good times.

Yeah while shooting the Nazi's and killing Hitler was nice, I got more enjoyment out of killing the french soldiers.

They cried for momma in their snooty Parisian accents.
