Duke Nukem Forever 2001 Restoration Project - First Slice Preview

Hail to the King Baby Have a Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year everyone!

To think, if this game was finished and came out when it should have, Duke Nukem could still have been a viable franchise for another decade.

4:15 Duke actually worried about people. I really loved that

"this duke seems like a response to the duke from the retail dnf" actually it's pretty on point with duke's original character pre-dnf 2011, while duke cracked jokes and movie references even in the face of danger, he genuinely did care about the well being of people of earth (one of the reasons why being able to kill pedestrians for their horrible singing in nuclear felt out of character),of course in 3d his main concern was the woman as the cycloid's main mission was the kidnap and harvest all of earth's women

@0:37 A Johnny Bravo reference? That's pretty neat. Wasn't expecting them to throw that in. The dedicated fanbase really has done the series proud. With so much negligence over the years it seemed the series was destined to gather dust. Thanks to the fanbase the saying "Always bet on Duke" still rings true after all.

"I like the way you die, boy" Hearing Duke throwing out pop culture references again reassures me this game is in good hands.

Thank you for the awesome video! I've tried to catch all of the videos that have been made about our project and it feels good to see so many folks as excited about the project as we are. I hope we can continue to deliver the experience people want from Duke!

Had the biggest smile on my face when I heard Gianni voicing Duke.

Holy crap. I expected people to take a crack at polishing some of the leaked build, but to get this far!? Utter insanity. Bless the people doing this, it's a labor of love in many ways.

I love that Gianni Matragrano is voicing Duke! I've always thought his Duke impression is one of the best I've ever heard!

This guy said "How can a Duke Nukem fan not be (pessimistic)" Sounds like he never learned: ALWAYS BET ON DUKE

Thanks for the support! Always bet on Duke. 😎

0:37 johhny bravo refrence nice

Giving Duke an actual human personality was a great touch, didn't even realize how bad it used to really be until they did It right lol

Duke's ENORMOUS Tool is precisely what his map editor should be called.

not only the 2001 build but even gearduke is getting the treatment it deserves. It's a good year to be a fan of the King

It's great to see the excitement and support this is getting. As a Duke fan and huge fan of the early FPS games, I'm glad to have a part in bringing this to life.

It's going to suck when Randy Pitchford either nukes this build from orbit or tries to smother his greasy hands all over it in an attempt at monetization. Legit hope these guys succeed and rub it in his face, and then go further beyond and make their own games after.

I never been a Duke Nukem fan ngl...but god damn this warms my soul so much.

I love what they've done so far. The fact that we may have this complete one day blows my mind.
