GSI: Game Scene Investigation: Duke Nukem Forever

A close look at the new Duke Nukem Forever teaser trailer.

The teaser trailer for 3D Realms' highly delayed, but equally anticipated Duke Nukem Forever came as quite a nice Christmas surprise. We got together and used VideoGamer.com's hive mind to point out the most important parts of the one-minute trailer.

That's not Unreal Engine 3

Duke Nukem Forever has been in development for a long time, and it's moved from engine to engine over the years. We'd guess that the game is currently being built using a heavily modified version of the Unreal 2 engine, and not the currently popular Unreal Engine 3. Duke's rather angular body is the biggest clue, with his model not being nearly as smooth as what we've seen in the likes of Gears of War and Unreal Tournament 3.
