It's finally going to happen!!
looks like a plastic action figure, with a monitor screen in the background. We'll imagine thats its a screenshot

I thought it was a joke too...I'm gonna say it's an action figure and agree.
And why the hell should they release a screenshot of a game 10 years in development on gamasutra with 200px width?
Ohhhh guerrilla marketing...
Still, a screenshot of the main character with a blurry background does not mean that they are actually anywhere close to finishing it...
"I guess I'll reconfirm what I said last night. That's an in game, real-time shot of Duke standing in a random hallway. It was really done as a small teaser for a job ad on Gamasutra.com. Nothing more.
I'm glad some of you enjoyed it, and we'll show more later as we start to wake from our slumber and decide how best to show the game off."
Personally, I'm so far beyond caring about this game, I don't have any thoughts about the render itself. Just... meh. What does interest me is that 3DR, a company more legendary for its hype than its software, chooses *this* method to reintroduce Duke's current incarnation to the public.
Seriously, this is the first image of Duke since the 2001 E3 video, right? The first glimpse of DNF in more than half a decade comes as a microscopic gif attached to a Gamasutra article? I think George Broussard is actually just a spokesman for the company, and 3DR is actually run by monkeys.
For those keeping score at home, April 27th of this year will mark the ten year anniversary of the Duke Nukem Forever announcement.
it could be ingame its too small and crap to really tell
i've done contract work for this, hope it comes out while i am still alive so i can pimp it and put it in my portfolio.

You are lying. Stop lying you liar
Duke nukem forever doesn't exist
I can't imagine what it's like to work on the same assets over and over again to accomodate newer technology introduced into the game.

Man, I never considered that until now. Must really suck for the guys who've worked on it. I wonder how many of the original crew are still around from the first version of DNF? Poor bastards.
As for the screenshot, meh. The size doesnt make a whole lot of sense to me either. The only reason I can think of for making something promotional that small is to hide it's imperfections.

He's NOT lying. It DOES exist.
Not holding my breath for this one, but it does look like next-gen plastic to me. Can see why people might think it's an action figure.
I think the release of the "in-game screenshot" is just to get some attention back to the project. 3DR seem to do it a lot, anyone remember this from a while back:

I was looking forward to this game when I first heard about it and I even remember seeing an in-game video while I was still in highschool and was totally psyched. Now... Well I just don't give a shit anymore!
Duke Nukem Forever... Duke Nukem NEVER, am I right!

Personally, I hope the game is never released. If it is released, I hope it's a flop of such intergalactic proportions that we all forget about Daikatana. The DNF development process has given us ten years of enjoyment, and there's imply no way the actual game could ever live up to that...
Which possibly has a more amusing story tied to it with the getting kicked off of their record-label after having used up 1 million pounds of their money.
But yeah, i'm hoping it's an action-figure, because i don't like the looks of it.
I loved the video that was released a long time ago, though. With the old guy, in the deserty setting.
it was certainly a good teaser back in the day
I was excited when I heard that a screenshot had been released, but disappointed to find it was so small & vague... And still no release date in sight
Maybe one day....
