Duke Nukem Forever Preview On Jace Hall Show

An anonymous reader writes "The Jace Hall Show launched today on Sony's Crackle with a real gameplay preview of Duke Nukem Forever. Jace Hall is a former video game producer and Warner Bros exec and apparently this is his foray into online celebrity. DNF is 12 years in development ... it might be real after all." And if you have had enough self-indulgent gaming-news patter, another reader says "If you want to simply skip right ahead, it's about 4:20 in."

It will never live up to the expectations, but if it is good and fun, people will buy it. But I guess that no game can be profitable after 12 years of development.

Duke Nukem may live...

...but what about the dopefish?

Trailers

Yeah. I mean look at TF2, they intentionally made it look cartoony.

Duke Nukem _is_ a cartoony character :). Making the graphics more realistic can be counter productive.

That said, trailers can be very deceptive, you might have just seen all the best parts and that's it.

A little bit of editing goes a long way, for example:

But I guess that no game can be profitable after 12 years of development. They could update Duke Nukem 3D & Shadow Warrior to run on the new engine.

Toss them in a box and charge $10~$25 for the pair of games.
Offer $5 off if you buy it with DN: Forever

yeah that sounds good. Games are like computers, every time you think you've got the optimum price to performance ratio, there a new breakthrough so you start over refactor for the new tech. There is a saying "The road to failure is paved with perfection, The road to success is paved with good-enough".
