If they were genuine, the game that they just shipped would actually look like that. It doesn't. It looks low res, even at high resolutions.

Edit: Here's an example of how the actual game looks, both with and without effects, at max settings.

Edit 2: Since there's a bit of intentional haze in those shots (the map in question being set in a desert), these might give you a better idea. With effects, without effects.

Which reminds me, the texture for that gray pistol is just hilarious.

Yep those screens are bullshit, and the thing is they have higher resolution textures than what we got. Also the improved-looking minecart sequence we saw in the launch trailer isn't in the final version. Makes me wonder if some higher quality PC build exists, but they didn't want the PC release looking *too* much better than the consoles so they gimped it on purpose.

It would be too weird... only a bunch of morons would do that, the sales would be the same for consoles and PC users would like it a lot better.

Yeah, I agree that the textures are higher-res in the demonstration shots. What I was referring to is the overall color of the scene that is responsible for much of the atmosphere -- compared with an in-game shot it seems identical or close to it. Not sure whether it would stand a more rigorous test, but I'm not too keen on finding out either. So, I still think that the demo shot can in principle be produced by the renderer, but for weird reasons either the actual assets are really downsampled from the originals (unlikely?), or there were higher-res ones made only for those pics.

Wow, nice concepts
Is this woman Bombshell or just a regular EDF female soldier? Well, I guess we'll never know.
Also, some Battlelord pics looks like an Ogre or Orc. lol

[BraveTriforcer]

They certainly went...in detail with how the pregnator would work. Didn't, they?

[Jobi-Wan Kenobi]

WHY IS THIS NOT IN THE GAME?! oOo I would have liked it!

You would, ya horny Kraut bastard! Heh.

[Sinisterambo]

Cos it was probably too graphic. I think they should have went all out with the gore and sexual content and got an AO or even just an AO rated add on/DLC.

It's Bombshell, it's more clear in the Balls of Steel artbook (since it's higher res) but you can spot "Bombshell" in the text if you squint.

[CryptKiller]

Excellent concept arts. Shame that some ideas don't appear in the release.

[Psyrgery]

I would have loved to play as Bombshell. Also, the game would haved lasted 2 or 3 hours more with her storyline.

I feel as we have been left with an incomplete game.

[Sebastian]

That's actually not a bad idea at all. Would've loved to do this as well.
Didn't they say at one point they were actually planning on making a seperate Bombshell game?

Amen, bro.

[randir14]

Some of the Bombshell concepts remind me of Trishka from Bulletstorm.

[Psyrgery]

Hell, even her model is done. It's in the artbook, looks badass in a Gears of war style.

Everything in... in the name of science. hehehe
I bet they worked very hard thinking in a logical explanation about how the aliens reproduce themselves.

uh... yeah, I saw something written after taking a close look, it's hard to say but looks like "bombshell" is writen indeed.

I don't have doubts about that.

I commented about this concept art over at Gearbox, and I have to say it again that it is amazing!

Saw the commercial on Discovery Channel 3x in the past 90 min! They're pushing the add hard for the US release.

They'll need to in order to overshadow all the backlash.

I can't fucking believe that Randy Pitchford is beatboxing in that video. Are you fuckign kidding me?
I would have never imagined that he does such stuff in public.
Here I thought that all he can do is talk PR bullshit on stage to get people to buy his games. But no!
It seems that he can go as far as to actually beatbox on the stage, wtf!?!?!

[ThePinkus]

He can also do magic

[NUKEMDAVE]

Awesome! Looks like Rockmx8 and I really do have a cameo appearance in DNF! Or at least him anyway.



Credit goes to Fox Mulder for taking the screenshot.

[Fox Mulder]

Yeah, you look old!

[OpenMaw]

Wow, they really went into detail with the Pregnator... A little too far.

Am I the only one who finds the hive section of the game... uncomfortable?

Maybe I just love women too much. I haven't felt this uncomfortable since I first saw the Alien movies. Something about hearing them call for their Dad's and crying.

Maybe its because I grew up with 64 and ZH where you could actually save the girls. I prefer the heroic side of Duke, not the macabre version.

Anyway, im glad that those concepts are nothing more than concepts. The game goes far enough I think. No need to go full-on Hentai/porn.
