I was just talking about vaporware yesterday, and today the 2007 Award “winners” were announced. The list includes Diablo III, EA’s Spore, and of course Duke Nukem Forever (at the #1 spot). Also listed is the 802.11N standard, Windows XP Service Pack 3, and Guns N’ Roses’ next album Chinese Democracy.

I bet the last thing anyone expected to hear about this week would be something related to Duke Nukem Forever. The game has been MIA for the last three years, in fact the game name has become a synonym for vaporware. Don’t believe me? Go ahead then and google the word “vaporware” you’ll see. Heck, Wired even gave DNF the “vaporware lifetime achievement award” a few years ago, and as far as I know DNF is the only thing to ever receive the “honor”.
But it looks as if there may actually be some movement at 3D Realms. Today a new teaser trailer was released. Yes, you read that correctly a new teaser trailer has been released for Duke Nukem Forever.
