New Duke Nukem Forever information + gameplay footage

I never intended to post about games on this site, but when i found out about this, i was sad. Here is a game that has been in development probably since 1994, officially announced in 1997, and now 2009, still not released. I was sent a link with great footage for the unfinished game. As you can probably figure from my posts, i was waiting for this game. Here are a few links and quotes from what i've found around the web about the game, as well as the video of the game. It's really a shame this game will probably not see the light of day.

This leaked video was to serve as a demo reel for animator Bryan Brewer (from 3D Realms).
Duke Nukem Forever (DNF) is a first-person shooter that is currently on hold by Take-Two. It is to follow Duke Nukem 3D as the next game in 3D Realms' Duke Nukem series and is to be directed by one of the creators of the original Duke Nukem game, George Broussard.

You can read the whole description on Youtube here. Here is the article from Tom's Hardware about it the leaked footage. Shacknews has posted some more information, and the gameplay footage as well. The last line is interesting:

Developer 3D Realms, which retains the rights to Duke Nukem Forever and the Duke IP, has not issued any comment as to its plans, while publisher Take-Two has reiterated that it owns the publishing rights to the title. Meanwhile, Apogee Software LLC--publisher of the upcoming handheld Duke Nukem Trilogy--is teasing a Duke Nukem-related announcement for next week via its Twitter.

Great screenshots of the game that could of been.

The best probably fake news:

I must admit, reading this article on Tom's Hardware did surprise me. I can write a quirky comment, but i'll just quote some more:

According to Charlie Wiederhold, one of the developers who worked for 3D Realms between 1998 and 2006, Duke Nukem Forever was a project concocted by industry leaders that would span decades... on purpose.

If you want, here is the uncensored version of the same clip.
