Duke Nukem Predicted Blu Ray would win!

The Primagen | March 01, 2008 | Press Release | PC Playstation 3

Yes apparently it's true, 3D realms released A sound byte from Duke Nukem Forever containing the Duke's opinion on the HD-DVD/Blu-Ray format wars. The teaser trailer that was released late last year was only half of what they had ready to be released while the other half contained various catchphrases and inside jokes (including this one) about the development team.

The Audio clip can be downloaded on the 3D realms website.

So why are we telling you about this now? Well, when Toshiba announced earlier that they were dropping support for the HD-DVD format, we remembered that Duke was prophetic about this in the unreleased clip. In it Duke Nukem says that Blu-Ray was the future of high definition, before everyone else except maybe Sony realized it. This was a joke about one of our programmers here who was a seriously hard core internal advocate of HD-DVD, but Duke predicted Blu-Ray would win. "The King is never wrong." :)

The way I think about it is that Duke could bring his smart ass humor to the year 2008 (or 2009 or 2010) We could hear him spout his opinionated views on The console wars (His view on the Wii would be worth hearing) And the presidential race etc. Hearing him talking about all of todays stuff in between killing things with unnecessary violence would be awesome.

I'm guessing Duke Nuken Forever originally thought the CD ROM would win.
