Jace Hall says goodbye to Duke Nukem Forever, hello to new footage

Jace Hall, Monolith Productions founder turned web show host and TV/film producer, has gone back through his archives to dig up a minute-and-a-half of previously unseen Duke Nukem Forever gameplay footage. Hall first offered a glimpse at the game in action last June on Crackle.com's aptly-titled Jace Hall Show. The new clip, found at the 7:37 mark of the show's latest episode, features an uncharacteristically silent Duke killing enemies whilst dodging giant, rolling boulders. (And, unfortunately for our friends up North, isn't viewable in Canada.)
Now that Hall has bid DNF a fond semi-farewell (after all, it could return!) he can focus his attention on ABC's upcoming reimagining of V, on which he serves as executive producer.

The video is not available? Oh well this still works as satire.

Worked for me. The $5 framed bet was awesome.

damn it, stupid comment system.

no, it's ok, it looks like it does in the game. I rated both of them up.

thanks levi haha

Game looked great.

Eh, looked like a rough Doom 3 clone. It might have had potential, but I wouldn't give it a second look in the state it was in when that footage was shot.

Can't believe they didn't include that quote into this.

I really hope somehow this gets finished, and by the original creators. If this looked that good in 2007, it should be damn near done by now.

They sure weren't messing around when they decided to call it Dukem Nukem Forever.

And that brings the count of clever people who have made that joke up to 4,358,697 for me.

Whoa he's Producing V. That I did not know. very cool, I'm pretty excited for that show, hope it goes well for him and the series. Fall is looking to have a couple good pilots this year.
Maybe someone will pick up the pieces and push DNF out, no loss if it doesn't happen. I don't think anyone really thought we would play this game, so either way cool to see some more video.

I doubt this New V will be good, most likely it'll be just as good as that 'New' Flash Gordon series. Why remake when you can create? Are we that dry on new ideas? Don't get me wrong the orignal V was great (I even loved the Tv series which was really silly)
Christian @ Jun 11th 2009 8:16PM
I doubt it will be as bad as that show. Hopefully this time around they can shed a new light on the series and run with it. Maybe it will work out, I couldn't get into the old series, probably too dated for my taste, although I see the potential.
Plus Elizabeth Mitchell is signed on. That's all I have to know to want it to succeed.
Matt @ Jun 11th 2009 8:22PM
Hell I love to be wrong I need something to watch
Greg2k @ Jun 11th 2009 8:06PM
Youtube mirror or something? Gay-ass player won't load the video.

Here's a Youtube link if you're not American enough, like me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FwGn2G7OVg

In AMERICA!

The ending tribute to "Ventrilo Harassment: Duke Nukem Style" was absolutely perfect. I suggest watching "Ventrilo Harassment: Lindsey" as well. Those 2 are my favorites.

Seems fitting that Duke Nukem Forever shares the same abbreviation as Did Not Finish.
Nael M. @ Jun 11th 2009 11:38PM
Thank you for being the 24847223946th person to point out this oh-so-interesting-and-definitely-not-beaten-to-death factoid out.

Holy uninspired-looking game play.
NintendoJunkie @ Jun 12th 2009 12:32AM
I agree...however I wouldn't mind giving it a play thru. Although not a Duke Nukem FPS, Manhatten Project was (and still is) pretty awesome. I played the level w/ the giant bug boss over & over & over...he was a BITCH to kill. After I realized his attack patterns, it was all about patience.
I never got around to beating it...I need to reinstall it sometime.
