Duke Nukem Forever/Unused Audio
This is a sub-page of Duke Nukem Forever.
 | Oh dear, I do believe I have the vapors. This page contains content that is not safe for work or other locations with the potential for personal embarrassment. Such as: Some vulgar language. |
 | To do: Could use some investigation (such as whenever the French lines are unused in the dub and if the lava sound is used on the Inferno map added in DLC). |
All of the game's sounds are stored in SoundDir.dat and Sound.dat in the Sounds folder.

Voice Lines
Do note that there aren't any subtitles leftover for much of these voice lines.
Duke Nukem
| To do: Provide the (closest) equivalent line in English in the "Notes" section. |
| Filename | Audio | Transcript | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| DUKE_Map11c_WowCanBreathe_01.mp3 | "Wow I can breathe!" | Phew, Duke can breathe again! While he does complain that going in the water will ruin his hair, this line is never played. | |
| DUKE_GotMessKill_04.mp3 | "J'espère que le PEGI n'a pas vu ça." (Rough translation: "I hope that the PEGI didn't saw that.") |

Another line of Duketalk dubbed into French. |
General Graves
A pair of placeholder lines for General Graves, referencing something that does not happen in the game. Juding from their filenames and content, the most likely event this was intended for is the level The Duke Cave just before the next level in the turret section against the Mothership.

| TalkShowHost_02e.mp3 | "Wanna come back in a few hours after everyone gets PISSED and posts a cell phone pics(sic) with bad titles like the truth is out there." |
For comparison, the used version:
| To do: Lenoman's final rant has two versions in the files: one that has the whole rant in one (shown below) and one that is split into three parts, so which one is used? |
| Audio | Transcript |
|---|---|
| (Exhales disappointingly) "Ah sorry Duke... Looks like their shuttin' us down for the night. On slow days all I here is "Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!," but a couple of those aliens come down and suddenly it's all news, all channels. Half the damn crew has left to so what their up to at Duke-Burger. Gotta wonder if they timed it with you coming on the show and all." |
