There's a trailer video but you gotta enter an age to see it so embedding it is difficult. Go to the Game Informer link above and you can watch it easily there. Video has tons of in-game footage.

Looks campy and schlocky and a whole lot of rollicking violence, cheesy one-liners and piles and piles of fun!

Might be worth a pre-order.

    hahaha, I had given up even thinking about this game.. I didn't think it'd ever get made.. Now I'll have to take a look.. I spent way too many hours playing Duke Nukem and making levels for Duke Nukem 3d

    Vaporware, has been for years.

    Not this time. It's got a real studio behind it this time and is basically ready.

    I realize we've been close to this point before with it, but never this far.

    This is the year...Brett Fav-ra finally retires, and Duke Nukem finally hits the shelves.

    It's not vaporware, dude. The reason it's not being released until May 3rd is because they just started production of the retail sets in late November. It takes some time to ramp up production, check quality controls and build enough inventory to get it distributed effectively.

    It's a new studio with an already well made stable of games that support the profitability. They took on Duke Nukem 'cause it was already developed but unfinished.They can afford to finish and release this without it killing the company like it did to Apogee who really hadn't had a hit game in 6 years at least.

    Duke Nukem is back. You'd best get in line to get your copy! Line starts behind me!

    Might actually have to get a PS3 for this one. Hopefully my brother is still working at GameStop in May and we can get a demo copy for the XBOX and see how it plays.

    I've got video and screenshots from the 'release' 10 years ago, the again from the release 3 or 4 years ago. I'll believe when I see it sitting on the shelf.

    If anyone does still play Duke 3D, I have about 30 deathmatch levels that I made, and a large, single player level if anyone wants them.

    My brother just told me his GameStop is due to get it's retail shipment April 20th and is taking pre-orders now. They also have a notice for an inventory stock shipment of Official Strategy Guides from Brady Games.

    It's difficult to write a strategy guide for vaporware since you need to have a researcher actually play the game to develop a strategy.
