To those that hate on stuff to be cool: Put a sock in it. Or I'll do it for you. Except with a brick inside the sock. With force.
I was never really a fan of the duke, I was more of a doom/wolfenstein/ROTT/hexen/heretic/tribes kinda kid when it came to FPS games. I didn't really play it until about... 2000. Still, I'm looking forward to a game that combines funny with shooty. The serious sam games were a tonne of fun so I'm thinking along a similar vein for DNF.
"Hating on stuff just to be cool?" When the boy has cried "wolf" for ten years, nobody believes him anymore. For all we know, Duke Nukem Forever is an elaborate hoax.
lolfighter just hates things, it has nothing to do with being cool.
So to answer your question lolfighter, yes. Most of the people in this thread. They've been working on the damn thing since forever (M I RITE? lol), so i'd like to think they have something which is at the very least not a complete pile of poo by the end of it. Plus its Duke.

Yeah, I'm lookingforward to it. I'm tired of macho crap like Gears of War taking itself seriously. Duke Nukem isn't afraid to play the muscleman card for what he is: a ridiculously strong person who makes zero sense at all. There's no "destroyed beauty" here. It's juse Duke, chicks, aliens, and guns. And rock music.
Well, it's just that I stopped believing in fairy-tales a long time ago. But okay, I was taught to respect religion as long as it doesn't screw me over, so I'll leave you to your beliefs.
Duke Nukem Forever is going to be really fun. You can quote me on that, or put it on my gravestone.
Seriously guys CMON! I remember the same discussion about Half-Life 2; noone had faith in Valve to do a repeat of Half-Life in terms of game enjoyment, but Half-Life 2 kicked everyone's (well, most peoples) ass when it was released.
Now it's 3D Realms' turn for the critical eye, although admittedly the stakes are higher because they're even slower than Valve. But I think that so long as they stick to their guns and have consistently stepped out to make a true DN3D sequel, then DNF will be a really special game.
Remember, history is cyclical, and DN3D is now history, and rocked. DNF? She'll be comin round the mountain...
I am sorry, but unless you are a Final Fantasy game then making a mostly cg teaser video is not longer 'cool'. Especially when it has been ten years since this game was first announced.

The real question here is: Is Duke going to run out of bubblegum once more <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/nerd-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="::nerdy::" border="0" alt="nerd-fix.gif" />
Also this trailer is way to teaserish, even more so then the shorter left4dead trailer! What, are they scared we will see to much stuff o.O"
Kept the same intro song, kept same sound effects (shotgun sound from DN3D), I recognized the same enemies,
This game will be awesome whenever it's released!
I really want to reinstall my Dn3d and start playing again! <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

But then again, not 100% due to it being ages I actually listened to the real song ingame - just listened to the megadeth one (isn't this the actual one though?), and one by <a href="http://www.vertexguy.com/" target="_blank">Chris Kline</a>.

You're aware that that's ingame footage, right?
I'd hazard a guess and say it's not CG but in-game rendering, also (if you meant pre-rendered footage).
It's the Duke. That's all the info I need.
I am pumped. IN YOUR FACE.
