* [[Bowdlerised]]: [[Zig-Zagging Trope|Zig-zagged]], in a sudden cross-over with [[No Export for You]], the Russian release of the game not only features [[Broken Base]]-inciting voice actor casting for Duke, it also went through the pains of translating all the swearing... and then bleeping it out. And there's no way to un-bleep it. And locking out the usual Steam ability to change a game's language. And retaining the game's 18+ rating because nothing else was censored!
* [[Cue the Flying Pigs]]: A few days before the unveiling at PAX, 3D Realms president George Broussard (who [https://web.archive.org/web/20160701102419/http://www.1up.com/do/feature?pager.offset=1&cId=3147571 once] said it would be ready "when pigs fly") tweeted a link to...

* [[Follow the Leader]]: A weird case of this: Now that the game is actually out, there have been complaints about how "dated" certain parts of the game is and that it has been done before, such as realtime keypad tapping as shown in [[Doom]] 3, protaganist-based storytelling and physics puzzles as in [[Half Life]], destructible terrain in [[Red Faction]], etc... But truth be told the features would have been groundbreaking if the game had been released, a decade earlier (or in some cases even half a decade earlier), if the trailers for [[Duke Nukem Forever]] showing these features were any proof. Also an interesting case of [[Older Than They Think]].
* [[Lampshade Hanging]]: Even the game's [https://web.archive.org/web/20100906075840/http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=109904 announcement press release] calls the release "shocking" and claims, "[[Cue the Flying Pigs|Seriously, flying pigs spotted heading towards Penny Arcade Expo!]]"
