    They will. The uncut.version of the trailer was shown a lot at trade shows, this is just so they can show the trailer to the wider Internet.

    OMG I just wet myself...in the good way ;)

    Yea the graphics don't seem all that much but who needs it when you get to laugh hard and have a good time.

    As for the voice it does sound a bit different, should be a bit deeper.

    Duke's Rights Management - he pays you a personal visit if you pirate the game.

    This game looks crazy - some of the content will be familiar to most FPS fans. I know there have been problems with the developers over this game since 1997. It seems like a forgotten memory. I dont think it will be a Crysis 2 beater or Crysis for that matter, but needless to say the games added dimension and crazy kick ass action will be nostalgic for gamers in their 30's. Young gamers will not know what Duke Nukem is about so it wont be that appealing to them. They will compare it to other FPS games that are comming out this year and also the well established...........Now when will valve release Half Life 2 Episode 3 - they must be working on a new engine!

    For some reason I think many of you guys will be dissapointed in this game... It has a major hype behind it, but can it really deliver? Will it be another call of duty based franchise with 11 pubescent kids screaming in your ears till they bleed, and can you just point and spray until everything both moving and inert just dies around you?

    LOL.


    Nothing like a bit of "respawn, kill, die" ad infinitum when you've had a stressful day!

    looks fun - that is all it should be, and all i hope it will be.

    anyone else think Duke's voice is too high pitched - should be beefier!

    I like this necro, I missed my chance to post here first time round.

    People crying about how bad this game is going to be have missed the point. Missed it by such a long, long way. So have those saying it will be fantastic. Most totally missing the point is mute1's complaint that the game is offensive and puerile.

    Here's the lowdown: DNF will be terrible. It will be cheesy, brainless, juvenile, sexist and offensive, and deliberately so. That's the point - it's a throwback, a self-conscious nod to the stupid and simple games of the 90s. To quote:

    But probably most accurately,

    If there's one thing people are terrible at spotting, it's irony. It's an ironically bad game, which in a way makes it immune to quality-focused criticism: if you rant about how bad it is, you're not doing much more than explaining the joke.
