It's the Overlord !

It shows a reenactment of the Duke Nukem 3D cutscene.

So the Overlord could be in the game. Awesome. Was he in the leaked material?

It looks like it could be a video that pops up if you leave the menu idle...

Hah, in that video you could see interactivity into play.
He took that third barbell weight that was on the ground he threw it around the room then proceeded to picking it up again and mounting it to the barbell.
After that it seemed that you could interact with the barbell.
I think you can use the barbell to pump some iron ROFL!
I also think you can take off weights from it and make it less heavy

It's good that duke has an animation for picking up the weight, but when it comes to putting the weight on the barbell, it just magically disappears from Duke's hands onto the barbell

It's been said in one of the reviews that Duke can use the barbell but then complains that it's not heavy enough for his needs. So you need to add extra weights before he'll do it again and then you get a permanently higher Ego bar.

So I was watching the gameplay video and I noticed there was barely perceptible background music... I swear I heard "Stalker" during the beer scene!

My all time favorite track in DN3d is "Aliens, Say your prayers"

reminds me so much of the 80's sci-fi movies, it rocks.

That is actually my second favorite track in the game.

This is my favorite http://www.youtube.c...h?v=MNKBWQcYP8E And that is also my favorite level. E3L2

I just love that brooding synth sound in the Duke3D soundtrack, it's responsible for such a great part of the atmosphere.
That's why I've never understood why some people would want DNF's music (or Duke3D's in retrospect) to be full-on metal, it simply doesn't fit IMO.

Yeah, I love the DN3D soundtrack. It's very well done, and adds a great deal to the feel of the game Imo. Been getting a lot of playback on my playlist lately.

Games Radar has an extremely positive feature about DNF at 'http://www.gamesradar.com/f/duke-nukem-forever-4-big-reasons-its-100-old-school- authentic-while-also-100-fresh/a-2011021415105594086'. The environment interaction, physic based puzzles sound so cool. Finding weights and then balancing the bar just for an ego boost, shooting hoops and pinball. I'm not sure if the feature contains any new info, but it's just nice to hear someone from the press who understands the appeal of the game.

What do you think of the reduked version of this song? I think it's very good. Better than the original even.

Agreed, that's a really good track. Easily one of my favorites. I also like this one--I just love the gloomy atmospheric sound it has; fits perfectly to the space levels, especially Dark Side.

Even though Lunar Apocalypse is arguably the least liked episode in the game I can't do anything but love the soundtracks in most levels.

I admit its a very high quality remix but it does give me too much "techno" vibe than 80's sci-fi vibe so i like it but not more than the original.

Thanks for the link though;) its up in my YT favourites now:)

I know this picture has been floating around but like an idiot I haven't saved it yet. Does anybody have a link to that screenshot of the Duke model in a model editor with the same gay face and spiked hair as is on the cover art right now? I'm trying to make a comparison with the current Duke model that is in the game to show that they are indeed not one and the same.

You can see it in motion in this video (at the 10 second mark) in case you want to try and get a better angle.

I have realized that we are the true Dukers. No one else will sit down and be in on Duke as much as we are.

Nothing you haven't seen or heard before if you've been watching all the available video footage. Mostly it's just about what you can interact with, Duke's one-liners but also some interesting speculation on what will happen after DNF ships and to the Duke Nukem brand. Then there's a short segment where they analize the graphics and gameplay mechanics that was demoed in Vegas.
