Finally it's June and we get some news about DNF. What do you think after reading the news post? What will the show feature for DNF?

[rockmx8]

Why would he name the file DNF and what does he says in the file? Are you ready or something...

[Kristian Joensen]

Worst case scenario: Slightly more than nothing.
Best case and probably only wothwhile scenario: A DNF trailer.

[DavoX]

"Are you ready? Duke nukem... we're all out of bubble gum, kids..."

Yeah, something like that. And it's painfully obvious why he named the file DNF, because it's going to be about doom4!

I hope it's a release date. If it indeed ends up being the trailer, then I hope it doesn't get interrupted by any commentaries or anything, and it's found in downloadable form.

Can anyone confirm this show is actually video and not audio only?.

[crunchysuperman]

Oh, whoopee!! We've sunk even lower than the "we saw it" Shacknews article. Now we're getting announcements of upcoming "we saw it" Shacknews-style articles.

Why not just release info? Or at the very least, why not just state that this guy is going to? Why the whole "tune in to see what's on the show" BS?

Another day, another slap in the face for Duke fans.

Well if they intented to show media through that show, then why talk about it before? To make the show totally pointless?

I have no knowledge of any new trailer. I'd tell you if I did.

This is something we did for Jason months ago and it's not quite going to be what you expect. We didn't want him unveiling the game at that point so the piece was done as a favor for Jason, who we've known for 15 years.

I just don't want people getting too excited over this. The teaser trailer in Dec was about all the teasing we'd planned on. We weren't sure when, or if, this show would ever appear. I look forward to seeing what Jason did with the show. I can promise you that the next time you see the game it'll be in substantial form.

That would certainly be a pleasant surprise, and about the only way to get back in our good graces.

[DavoX]

Sucks.

Well there you go - my first instincts are confirmed.

[DavoX]

Also joe said no release date will be given, is there anything worthy in there now? I don't care if you can touch the babes boobs anymore, I want MEDIA.

I'm sure there will be media... maybe a few scenes of gameplay and stuff like that.

Agreed and just like George the man said, even if it's not a Trailer yet(Hopefully late this year), it will still have something of DNF...

[DavoX]

I think it'll be just the staff talking about how much t hey screwed up, DUH HELLOOO WE KNOW THAT!

[rockmx8]

No it's most likely going to be a few screens and gameplay video or something as that...

[DavoX]

It's just foolish to think they will show screenshots at a video show. It's nonsense. Gameplay would be more likely but george already said He DIDN'T WANT JACE TO UNVEIL DNF YET. So they probably didn't let him film the game.

[rockmx8]

Some form of Gameplay footage for sure then will be shown, let's hope they let him film enough of the game more than the Teaser's Length.

[NUKEMDAVE]

Maybe they're going to reveal Bombshell! It would be nice to see what she looks like now. But yeah, it'll probably be interviews with the 3DR team. Still, it will be very interesting to watch.

[Sinisterambo]

I'm looking forward to it, we'll at the least get a new screen shot (hopefully)

Agreed and hopefully it will be in video more than screens, I can't wait to hear the music in it. The Teaser Trailer music really ROCKED, I hope this one will too!!

ALWAYS BET ON DUKE!!

And where's Kaiser I wonder what he thinks of all this...

[trackit]

thats gonna be some BS again :S

How does this feel now in retrospective

[Kristian Joensen]

Well it feels like my worst case scenario listed above, is what is coming true. Heck this might have less subtance than the Shacknews article.

Perhaps it will be "I have seen Duke Nukem Forever and I liked it" with the rest of the show being about other stuff.

Thinking about this, I have come to realise that this could set a new low for DNF related BS as this could even take as little as a few seconds.

[Micki!]

That is true, too bad the news were ennounced as something bigger than it is...

pcgamer....
With every more or less nonsense news I doubt more in 3D Realm's marketing techniques.

[peoplessi]

The thing that really irritates me the most, is that they've kept this so called media blackout for years now, and suddently they choose to tease the people that have waited for the game. I know that they don't owe anything, but still, it is not really that funny either to tease the crowd with such stunts. I hope we all are proven wrong that doubt it to be "nothing significant". I can't really think what could be significant besides the trailer or releasedate at this point?

[DavoX]

This is actually getting dangerously close to the "DNF is a marketing experiment" so watch out 3DR...fans are getting near exaustion, at least what's remaining of the fanbase.

[ultra tree 85!]

I'm really looking forward to seeing whatever the show will have about DNF. I'd love to see a trailer, but this is still exciting, and I'm pretty sure that we're going to find out more info on the game.

[crunchysuperman]

Oh yeah, we'll get treated to hearing how great he thought it was - boy, oh boy! I can hardly wait.
