New Duke Nukem Footage Surfaces, Blows Stuff Up

[Ze_Reaper_Of_Zeath]

Wow.

12 years.

Can't wait for it.

 

[JEBWrench]

the gameplay looks ok, i guess, but is it just me, or this entire video has a very juvenile feeling to it?

And we wouldn't have it any other way.

Wow that was awesome and it looks like exactly what I have wanted from a FPS for a long time and that is simple fun, No gritty real world wars, No Space Marines, Just pure simple run and gun fun in all its Wonderful Campy Misogynistic Cheesy glory.

No peeking up out of cover to take a couple pot-shots.

Hell, boring cover-play is getting into my damn RPGs now. (Thanks Mass Effect!)

 

[EvilMaggot]

Wow, it looks........bad. I still honestly cant see anything coming out of this game other than just another overhyped FPS.

This. Drawing and pissing arent fun game mechanics.

have you ever played Postal 1/2 ?... now that is some fun pee'ing gameplay ;D

and im defo getting DN:F, nostalgic cant wait to kick ass again !
and for the gameplay... like some have already said, nice to see a game with no cover crap system wich takes out the action, and giant boss battles are back again WOOHOO! (Serious Sam if you havent encountered big boss battles... the good old days <3)

i really missed this kinda gameplay they are bringing back in DN:F

*yyaaaawwwwnnnnnnn* Whoopy freakin' do. I can punch stuff and shoot stuff and spout one-liners like a middle-schooler who just saw his first Schwarzenegger flick. How original. Oh, but I can pee! In a game! It's interactive! And there's boobs! Oy vey...

Congratulations on making the game that will start the next round of Congressional hearings on violence in video games.

Oh, and to all of you clamoring about how this is a return to the classic FPS of yesteryear...if you miss them so much, why not simply PLAY a CLASSIC FPS? I guarantee it'll be more fun than this polished bowel movement.

Did I actually see an Ego Meter? I'm so waiting to see how this will turn out.

No, it was a disguised health meter. Just like a so-called 'sanity meter'. I'm sure that instead of gobbling down health packs, Duke will have to find a hooker, or masturbate to a nudie magazine to get his 'ego' back. It's all the same mechanic, nothing new to see here, move along...

If they're going for self aware parody, I think it was already made and it was called Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard.

And THAT game had Neil Patric Harris AND you got to shoot the shit out of a emo-git FF7 stype JRPG protagonist.

They're clearly going for self parody, they just broke the bloody fourth wall. Not to mention the conversation with the security guards. The Duke Nukem series has always contained some element of self parody, besides perhaps the first.

Eat Lead wasn't well made, and couldn't really pull off a parody of a big budget game succesfully because it wasn't big budget. Sadly, where indie movies can be clever parodies with low budgets (through the use of cinematography, style, good writing and decent acting) videogames require solid game mechanics as well as these things. Eat Lead lacked polish.

True, but I still enjoyed what I played and saw out of Eat Lead. It was unpolished, but I'm a nominal PC gamer. I'm used to enjoying what I get out of unpolished, buggy imports from Germany. Like Gothic!

Gothics insane for overall unpolish. I remember getting my arse whooped by a goblin i swear I could not beat. Why did I have to move to attack?

Depends on the Gothic. Gothic II, you need to step back - to parry the goblin's charge - then attack. Rinse, repeat until dead. Gothic III, the combat system is so fucking terrible that you need to either get archery or magic, then shoot the fuckers from the distance.

Then Gothic VI actually has a reasonable combat system. Dodging, parrying and blocking actually WORKS.

Which is neat.

Has anyone noticed that most people who demo the game (like at E3 and stuff) SUCK? I just don't understand it.

 

[imnot]

Oh joy, a return to misogyny, juvenile violence and horrible gaming in the name of "manliness", a term only used by kids too young to really understand what it means and kids too old to be taken seriously as kids or real men anymore.

Shooters have never been the epitome of mature gaming, but you'd have hoped that we'd have moved past monkey nonsense like this.

Not only that - but man that game, actual gaming wise, looked dated. Poor graphics, ancient design and mechanics and nothing that could warrant the 60? price tag. Duke, like most of the stuff that was "totally cool" when you were ten, belongs back in the 80's and 90's.

Someone prefers righteous indignation to self-irony.

Guess you're more 'mature' well done.

If I actually believed that the Duke Nukem franchise was smart enough for self-irony, I'd consider it an option, but history has shown otherwise.

Hey you have vault boy as your avatar and 101 posts!
[small]well it amused me anyway[/small]

OT: might give this a try, if it gets good reviews, hope YAztzee does it.

 

[TerribleAssassin]

The ending had me pissing it.


Gameplay looks suberp, so do the graphics, let's hope that Gearbox pull a gem out of a long forgotten series.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

That demo was..unexpected,especially the end of it.

Definitely looking forward to it.

"Always bet on Duke!" I think Gearbox is gonna deliver us a awesome game.

Sure, a working whiteboard has never been done before and is quite origional, but I don't see any sign of the ability to control each leg independently or to squiggle with your ears.

 

[gl1koz3]

It made my brain die a little.

WANT.

MUCH... MUCH MUCH WANT.

 

[Marik2]

Wow, it looks........bad. I still honestly cant see anything coming out of this game other than just another overhyped FPS.

Thing is, we need an FPS like Duke Nukem again. If this game sells, it'll be a sign of good things to come, imo.

Then every FPS in the future will try to be like Duke Nukem and thus begins the cycle of "heres something fresh lets copy it till we can find a new fresh idea"

 

[BenzSmoke]

That didn't look that bad actually. I may consider getting this after all.

 

[biGBum333]

looks okay. but i have to say that boss battle looked very very straight forward. no one should exactly expect this game to be the best thing of all time...
