So, the guys over at Shacknews decided to pop on down to 3D Realms’ office in Dallas (for some undisclosed reason), and big guy George Broussard decides to give them an impromptu showing of the current state of the now-infamous DNF. As you do, of course. They supposedly got to feast their eyes on some new weapons, two new maps, a forklift (?), limbs being blown off, and some environmental puzzles in action. Their fascinating, in-depth verdict?

“Duke Nukem Forever is looking great, and will easily stand apart from the crowd in both visual and gameplay styles.”

Yeah… err… awesome, I guess. That’s almost as good as video footage, still images, a bit of a review, or anything else they could do to prove that a) this game actually exists and b) it doesn’t look like something from 1998. Of course, lots of people share my sarcastic sentiments, deciding to cause a huge stir in the comments thread for the story. It was even enough to justify this this reply from 3DR‘s George B himself:

“…they came over and we checked out some stuff and out of the blue I just decided to show them DNF for about an hour. We ran through a couple of maps and chatted about stuff and we asked for some feedback. It was pretty unofficial and off the cuff and just done because I’ve known the guys for a long time and they were local, and what the fuck. They are being secretive/light on info because of obvious reasons, but just wanted to post and say “hey, we saw it and it’s real”.”

So there we have it: conclusive proof that Duke Nukem Forever is actually real – just like all those other times.
