Very nice. The second image is a little interesting as well.

The textures look a little low-quality (original UTish??).. look at bottom left guy's legs for example
But otherwise looks excellent. Nice amount of detail.. looks FUN.

[Oddmaker]

Yup UT. Hopefuly if the timings right we'll release something for a game that was announced.

Oh, and FUCK YOU GEORGE BROUSSARD.

DNF was officially first announced in April 1997

Food for thought:
"Duke Nukem Forever is a 1999 game and we think that timeframe matches very well with what we have planned for the game." - George Broussard, 1998

"Trust us, Duke Nukem Forever will rock when it comes out next year." -Joe Siegler, 1999

"When it's done in 2001." -2000 Christmas card

"DNF will come out before Unreal 2." -George Broussard, 2001

"If DNF is not out in 2001, something's very wrong." -George Broussard, 2001

"DNF will come out before Doom 3." -George Broussard, 2002

The Voyager 1 spacecraft has travelled approximately 2.5 billion miles since the announcement of Duke Nukem Forever.

The rovers Spirit and Opportunity were proposed, authorized, announced, designed, launched and successfully landed upon Mars within the timeframe of Duke Nukem Forever's development.

The majority of the children who were entering high school the school year following Duke Nukem Forever's announcement are now eligible to drink.

And last but not least:
"We're confident that DNF will be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, game of 1998. And this confidence is not misplaced." -Scott Miller, 1997

Indeed, I would have to agree. When DNF finally does come out I'm sure it will blow the games of 1998 away. Or, at least, I sure as hell hope it does.

Feel free to add your own!

They missed the boat, but only by 10 years or so. Good on ya guys.

It will be the greatest video game of all time, I guarantee it.

It already is.

So at what point did someone sit down at the head of the table in the meeting room and say "Make it look like Gears of War"?

Merry Christmas George! :)

So at what point did someone sit down at the head of the table in the meeting room and say "Make it look like Gears of War"?

Probably right after Gears of War came out.
