ale81drummer: I just watched the whole demo being played on YouTube. Looks exactly like some other company trying to make a Duke Nukem game and using all of its licensed goods but failing to nail the charm. People keep arguing in its defense that "this is an old school shooter--therefore it won't appeal as much to modern gamers." Actually, it's not. Instead of health packs, which worked much better for Duke back then, It has regenerative health, and only two weapons can be picked up at a time. It felt like Halo wearing a Duke suit.

Also, the graphics suck. Duke 3D was state of the art back then. Couldn't even get it to run on my PC at the time.

I predict around a 7.5 in reviews. Glad I didn't pre-order.
The Entire demo follows the timeline created at 3D Realms.... the sections the demo has you play were already done scripted and created by 3D Realms prior to Gearbox getting the game...

PM me if you need proof i wont spoil the game for anyone that wants to experience in open forum...

Well it's not so much the levels and scripting that bothered me, it's the gameplay. Check out this video to see what I mean.

I've been a huge fan of Duke and have owned almost all of the games at some point, and Duke 3D on the PC, PSX and N64. Duke doesn't run behind cover and wait for shields to regenerate; they've turned him into Master Chief. The two-weapon system further exemplifies that.

We'll see how the final product plays, but I'm not holding my breath.

3D Realms decided to emulate Halo and its success.... It sadly happens when you develop for the console first and PC second :(

Just finished playing the DNF demo. First half was great but was it too much to ask to keep the 90s style gameplay intact? Hopefully what i heard is true and the mod community will fix it all with day 1 mod tools released.

Its been pretty much accepted its much more a PC centric title than we've seen in a long time, see the performance on the 360 for example.

You are serious ? Accepted by who ? Limited weapon because of controller issues, low graphic quality, regeneration health, limited number of enemies, lack of rhythm, QTE, etc... nothing strikes me as "PC centric" in the demo.

Given the graphics "quality" if the game has any performance issue on console it's not because of it being PC centric but more with 3DR/2k dev being incompetent monkeys.

My post was simply informative, informating you that you were by bumping this thread, spamming (and to cut short your talk about who faulted first with the other one).
This is in no way called spam.

gearbox re-tooled the game and focused on the PC but the core design is centered around the 360... Jayce Hall and even the PCG crew all demo'd it on the dev box with a controller. Its still a console heavy shooter at its core... at least it'll be fun and mod friendly and the complete Duke 3D redesign in U3 is nearly 50% so we'll have that even if this sucks.
