In addition to the video, All Games Beta also hosts some alleged screenshots of the first-person shooter -- and odd third-person truck driver, apparently.

I feel for the guys that put all of the work into this but it just doesn't look like much fun to me.

Looks like it would have been alright, not worth 10 years of waiting though.
I think they should just release it as is along with the dev tools and let some some hardcore fans finish it.

I remember reading about Duke Nukem Forever in Computer and Video Games back in 1999, that was the first video games magazine I ever got, and interestingly it still has not been released.

Honestly after seeing this, i feel it's best that the game just stay dead. Rest in peace Duke.

Just looks like a doom 3 quake 4 copy and those weren't that fun either.
Tell ya what boys, just explain why the guns have to sound piss weak.

That's it? Seems like a badly slapped together UT3 mod than a full game.

That looks pretty bad, as in terrible. You would think they wouldve released about 2-4 more different games if they released it on the actual date. -_-"

If that was running on an Xbox in like 2002 or 03, it would have stood a chance at being successful, providing it had a multiplayer element.

I know graphical elitism knows no bounds, but the Xbox could barely run Half-Life 2 and Doom 3. This looks slightly better than Quake 4. Not good current gen, but definitely within early current gen.

This makes me sad... also some of it looks like footage from a console version.

Looks like a 360 build if going by the 1:30 mark.
Posted: Apr 5th 2010 8:25PM Foetoid said
Yeah its obviously for the 360 version but really, you needed that bit at 1:30 to tell? I could tell immediatly it was being controlled via a dual-analog controller. The way it moves so perfectly along each axis without any fluidity between those axis is glaringly obvious.

Hey Foetoid
What's the difference between you and a mallard with a cold? One's a sick duck and I can't remember how it ends, but your mother's a whore.

Lol, i don't get it? I was just stating the obvious. If you look closely, you'll notice every time he isn't quite accurate with the right analog stick, he moves Duke around with the left stick to change his aiming position to get the correct shot. Its an obvious compensation for not being able to concentrate on 2 analog sticks at once. Its easy with a keyboard, you have 3 fingers doing all the movement subconsciously so you can aim accurately with the mouse. Definitely not the same on a dual-analog controller. I can see a good dozen examples in that video where the player has aimed in one position, and simply moved Duke around while keeping the gun aimed at the same spot, just to hit multiple targets. Its archaic and barbaric.
I don't know why you've got so much hostility, i was merely pointing out anyone who's played FPS games a lot on console and PC can see the difference immediately without referring to the moment at 1:30.

Really? Cause I mean I play Halo plenty on my 360, and my first thought was "Wow this guy sucks at aiming." I mean, even at my worst, I still play a ton better than that when on my 360.

You think the game looks good now, just imagine what they could have done with another 10 years of development time! Wait...

Poor DNF. Of course, maybe it's for the best. We don't need Daikatana 2.

What are you talking about? Daikatana was awesome. Me and my friends spent dozens of hours on that game.

Why are you laughing?
I heard you, I heard you laughing.
How could you be sitting there like nothing’s happening?
Like it’s not
GONE?
It was here, now it’s not here!
It’s gone forever, and nobody even knows that. It’s dead and it’s never coming back.
It’s DEAD, and nobody cares that he’s really, really, really GONE.

Duke has never been the kind of character\concept I'm attracted to in gaming (though I did play Duke 1&2 back in the day, and much of 3D), but you can bet your ass I would have bought this just for its place in gaming history.. To see how the thing turned out.
In some ways it surprises me to see people say that this looks terrible, or things like "you'd think they'd have done more in x years".. Firstly, do you really expect a short video of WIP stuff to be representative of all the work done, or what the final product may have been? Secondly, what were you expecting? Surely it was never going to be anything more than a current-gen straight-forward Duke FPS romp. It's hard to get a sense of the flow and 'fun' of the game experience with short clips of WIP material, but I doubt they would have dropped the ball on making it entertaining.
I guess monstrous expectations are... to be expected after such a legendary wait.

It's an absolute shame that people have been waiting for this game for so long.
Can't somebody just release a next-gen Boogerman already?
