3DR releases Duke screenshot News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC

Sticks it on top of a job advert.

Still keeping an eye out for Duke Nukem Forever? Then step this way for what 3D Realms has confirmed is an in-game screenshot.

It's posted atop a job advert on the Gamasutra website (the page itself seeks a programmer), and features a muscle-bound Duke pointing a couple of guns at something. Company president George Broussard popped up late last week to confirm its legitimacy.

"Yes, that was me and that's an in-game, real-time shot of Duke standing in a random hallway. I just stuck it on a Gamasutra ad to make it stand out from the sea of company logos and maybe act as a small teaser," he said, wading into a massive thread on 3D Realms' forum.

"I'm glad some of you enjoyed it, and we'll show more later as we start to wake from our slumber and decide how best to show the game off," he added.

They're actually still working on it? On their free time whilst they create other games? This could be very interesting, though there is also the chance they need new staff just not for DNF. Interesting.

It has always puzzled me that other news sites work in the weekends as well while EG just shuts down on friday at 1700. :/

I guess that there still are people in the world left with a life. ;p

Regarding how tehy can afford to keep at it: at least both Max Paynes made them a tidy sum.

Yes, 'releasing' an extremely small, low-res and uninteresting screenshot is definately the best way to show this high-res, next-gen game off. Well done.

Someone said somewhere that it's probably a photography of an action figure, and the "ingame" refers to the out-of focus screen in the background.

Doesn't sound that unlikely...

To nitpick, it was "I'm all out of gum" not "I aint got no gum" =P

I hope this comes out on the 360 because my PC isn't going to have the stamina to run this game in the slightest.

Put Duke on Steam and I'll buy it.

And hopefully it has as much interactivity with the surroundings as the original ones because that's what sold Duke for me in the first place. Like flushing the toilets Of course, this means today that it has to have at least as much as GTA.

Xerx3s: It has always puzzled me that other news sites work in the weekends as well while EG just shuts down on friday at 1700. :/

Yeah, EG is doing it the right way. Job is not the only thing in the world.

Hopefully they'll be releasing some more screenshots soon. This is the first screenshot since 2001 or 2002, isn't it? At least they're making some progress then.

ROFL, the smallest image I have ever seen for a new/old? game that is coming out, I mean, FUCK ME its such a bore, I wish they had sold Duke to another decent company who might actually make the game decent.

Another thing is, when its released its never going to look like its been worth the wait, a game with no deadline will simply update to the latest tech that comes out, male 20% of the game then have to restart when some other new tech is released. A harsh circle!

Coming soon: Duke Nukem and the Pension Book of Doom.

And by 'soon', I mean somewhere around the year 2025.

@Pulsar_t - U'll have to forgive me... it has been *years* since I played Duke Nukem... maybe if the sequel had come out sooner then I'd still be able to remember the quote properly...

"but the quote is from john carpenter's they live? "

My memory on this is REAL hazy because the last time I saw that film was years and years ago when it was on ITV late at night (I think).
The original quote is something like...
"I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass........ and I'm all outta bubblegum"

The beginning line got changed a bit for DN3D, but I think Duke's version works a lot better.

Still couldn't give a shit about DNF though. No offence to its dedicated fans like, but its not the kinda game I get excited about.

sad that this is news worthy,I mean I will buy this IF it is released but I have waited so many years now that I have reached into my 30`s and this is still not out.

Its just a game after all and so many have been released since its conception,so many will have been released before its release and so many will be released upon its release that now its just but another game.
