== ''Duke Nukem Forever's'' development features examples of the following tropes: ==
 
* [[The Ace]]: The promo art for the game depicts Duke as an astronaut, MMA champion, and a recipient of some kind of an award. Also on a snowy mountain with a sign that says "'''HAIL TO THE KING EVEREST'''". He also fishes for [[EverythingsEverything's Even Worse With Sharks|sharks.]] With his ''[[Up to Eleven|bare hands.]]''
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: In the 2011 trailer:
{{quote| '''Narrator:''' ''When the invaders came back, they came back angry. They tore our planet apart, bit by bit. But they made one mistake... they shouldn't have gone after our women.''<br />
'''Duke:''' ''Dammit. Why do they always take the hot ones?'' }}
Line 48:
** Gearbox eventually decided that the sheer, absurd vulgarity of Duke's world was one of the shining traits of it. The lead developer expressed that things like people visiting the Fellatio Hotel (and thinking nothing of it) were key to the 'Duke World'.
* '''[[Saved From Development Hell]]'''
* [[Self -Deprecation]]: Gearbox ''knew'' fans would not be happy when they announced a [[Overly Long Gag|delayed release date]], so they threw the first punch at themselves with the announcement trailer.
* [[Sequel Gap]]: ''Duke Nukem 3D'' came out in 1996. Most of what happened in those 15 years [http://duke.a-13.net/ warranted a whole site].
* [[Lady Not Appearing in This Game|Sir Not Appearing In This Game]]: All of the ''Forever'' trailers up till Gearbox took over featured the prospector, Gus. He had been dropped sometime before Gearbox took the game, however. At first he was going to give you a donkey to ride back to Las Vegas on. 3D Realms eventually just decided to turn the donkey into a monster truck to quicken the pace of the levels and got rid of Gus.
