Following
yesterday's announcement, 3D Realms has released
the promised Duke Nukem Forever teaser trailer!. According to George
Broussard of developer 3D Realms, the approximately minute-long video was
originally created internally for the purpose of holiday festivities and marks
the beginning of further media unveilings surrounding the notoriously
long-in-development first- person shooter. The clip includes gameplay
footage, Jon St. John returning as the voice of Duke, and the music of game
composers Jeremy Soule and Julian Soule. It runs around a minute and ten seconds
and is available in five
variants, covering 720p and 480p resolutions. Mirrors:

"The release is still 'when it's done,' but you can expect more frequent
media releases and we're not changing engines again and we have considerable
work behind us,"
Broussard
told Shacknews today when asked about a release date. Platforms for the game
were not confirmed, but when asked today whether Xbox 360 in addition to PC is
likely, Broussard's response sounded positive though not definitive. "I don't
think we've stated that yet for the record but your observations are probably
noted," he conceded.
