This hardly looks like the classic Duke.

With the exception that his shirt has black outlines(Which I think is kinda cool), and the gloves, he has exactly the correct facial structure as classic duke, and the hair doesn't look like flat, alpha-mapped grass polygons.
By the way, the temple arms on his Ray-Bans aren't white, that's just the result of reflected light(specular highlighting).

Imho, this model is fugly... Looks like a 1990's CG Cartoon. His facial structure isn't quite right either.

Then what you are seeing is going to be the high-res model rendered in something like V-Ray, which is going to look loads better than the game model rendered in game.

ahem.

The menu is definitely animated, though. Not static.

I can confirm that the menu is animated with a render of the Duke model and some corpses on the ground and no it's not a flash/movie.

[Stewox]

I hope the trailer is properly done with the real 3D model and animation tools , not just a photoshop picture looking like a 3D model.

[Night Wolf]

Really impressed with that Freezer.
Also the Duke model in the trailer looks alot better then the slim Duke in the demo.

That was done by Andrew Kerschner:

I worked on the menu design layout and movies for the menu and loading screens, designed and built multiple cityscapes with baked in lighting, created props, did lighting and post-processing passes, optimized levels for consoles, and did extensive art support for the first Demo Level at PAX (Locker room/Bathroom, Hallways, Football Stadium, Football Stadium Cityscape, Lighting and post-process pass on Penthouse) As a CG Artist at 3D Realms, I was responsible for much of the 3D Design work for the architectural environments and establishing the scale for many of the pieces.

Yeah. really nice. It make me think DNF is a real good remake/sequel of the original game.

[MusicallyInspired]

I find it sad that they didn't add any new weapons, though.

Yes they did, and they said it a million times.

Also, an example of one of those weapons is from the leaks, and is called the enforcer(Name May be Different Now). If it's the weapon I'm thinking of from the 2009 leaks, it sort of reminds me of a plasma version of the Drunk Missile from ROTT.

[Rellik]

And the sniper railgun from the leaked full demo video

[DavoX]

You're also forgetting the microwave that you can use to kill the rat.

Also according to some interview you can throw poo.

That has to be a bad joke. If duke starts picking up shit with his bare hands, I will refuse to like Duke Nukem anymore!
What's left for him to do? Jack off, and spit if you press Q?
Mighty Spit Engaged!
You get an achievement each time you spit in a pigcop's coffee while he isn't around, right?

Ps. Doesn't anybody else think that the pigcop in the pic with the freeze-ray weapon, looks bukkaked lol? Is that supposed to be ice on him or icing?

Me too, I thought it looked like a great Freezer Toy that Duke Was holding it was so cool! ^^

These screens give me a joygasm. Especially the alien queen. I don't know why, but I've always associated video game bosses with epic hugeness. That's why I love Shadow of the Colossus so much. Anyway, game looks awesome from what I've seen of it. Can't wait.

Huge big bosses are always a great experience. That's one of the reasons I absolutely loved Painkiller.

That's good to hear. I never heard anything of the like. And yes, I guess I forgot about that sniper rail gun thing from the demo. I guess I meant something more like a special "Duke" weapon with a special cool feature. Like a Shrinker, Freezer, etc.

[DavoX]

Well the rail gun can make enemies heads explode like the expander.

[Micky C]

How do you use it to do that? I've seen it happen in videos but is it an alt fire or something?

[Night Wolf]

So is the expander in the game?
So far I've seen no evidence of this....

Although they did say all the weapons are back in the game... so here's hoping

[Mr.Deviance]

To those that played the demo!
Did this horrible clipping bug get fixed until now, or is it still in the game?

His damn leg goes entirely through his arm and through the shrink-ray weapon...

[MartyMcFly]

Dukes leg is just that special

I'd beg to differ, the one on the left (PAX Demo Main Menu version) looks the most like Duke does on the Duke Nukem 3D Artwork, and the picture I'm about to post.

Duke from the PAX demo looks nothing like classic Duke
Although the Duke from the trailer looks quite similar besides the hair



Id have to say the best model is the 3rd one imo

[MusicallyInspired]

I think the first one is fine. Duke doesn't really have a huge hero-like jaw.

[Jeager1999]

Lets keep in mind that we never seen any footage/screen shots of the trailer they shown at PAX. I'm assuming these are from FirstLook. Between PAX and FirstLook, they could of Polished the Trailer....if that's possible. Or they could of just made a hole new trailer with polished graphics.

I thought the Third one from the Right was a fan made? (One with a very bright yellow buckle)

Wrong. The screenshots of the trailer were posted September 7th. They are from PAX.
