Some of the models look a bit dodgy. Check out the shot of the pig cops jumping out of the dropship. There are some weird texture issues on the drop ship. There is some strange deformation going on with the pig cops. The cars are very simplistic and there is a very obvious texture seam on the top of the barrel of the cannon (we'd never allow that in the HRP )

[MusicallyInspired]

They said there were texture issues they were ironing out. I don't care about polygon counts on the models, though.

Yes, I intend to do a follow-up to cover the game logistics.

The ego works just like in Call of Duty (rechargeable), except you can add to its total by doing Dukely things like pissing in toilets and admiring yourself int he mirror.

I didn't encounter any health packs. See above for for my opinion on 2-weapon system.

Like Call of duty 2? You mean it increases over time then? You're sure it's not just when looking in the mirror or or killing aliens?
Thank you for the reply, looking forward to your game logistics article!

Yep. At PAX people said that it increases even if you just stand still, but doing some stuff makes it regenerate faster.

That really sucks. Why do all games do that these days, I really don't get it. This should be a feature when you're playing on easy ONLY.

Totally agree.
I really dislike that scheme. They should keep the Manhattan Project health system - it's different and 'functional'. Why change what was perfect?

I am interested to know what the music in game was like?
We know that Invaders must die is featured in the latest reveal trailer, but is Grabbag herd at all while you were playing.

I think it can be said by now, that Yatta is purposely keeping that secret, either because he wants us to see that first hand in his video or because of some other reason?

You usually never use more than 2 weapons at once in a fps game.

Says who? In my case that person is awfully wrong.

[Luther Blissett]

Yeah you should watch Stef play an fps

its like pistol shot, *fast switch* shotgun shot, *fast switch* boot to da face , *fast switch* RPG missile in the ass

is it useful? Hell no! But i hear he gets all the chicks that way.

They re like, omg you re so weapon wheely<3 i needs your babies.

Yatta, a preview on the Dutch tech site Tweakers mentions that all interactive objects in the game (including entrances to secret rooms) are highlighted.
Do you know if this is a setting that can be turned off?

I've asked but haven't received any reply yet.

[MusicallyInspired]

There's some music audible in this video which seems to be the raw press video Gearbox gave to all the media to showcase. It has the beginning of a new (slower) version of Grabbag at the very end...but it's just a tease. Doesn't actually start.

Also, when's part 2 supposed to go up?

[Mr.Deviance]

He throws a RIGHT then a LEFT!!!, Aww my god, down goes the assault trooper, aaaand he's out, THE ASSAULT TROOPER IS OUT LADIES AND GENTS


That's what the Alien bastard get's for throwing weights at Duke.

Ps. Love the big tv behind the alien where you can see the entire scene filmed from an above angle behind the alien.

Looks like IGN are still subtly trying to put down DNF's "archaic game design."

Nah, there's some ambient music but I have yet to hear Grabbag.

No but the demo had very limited settings. In fact the only setting was invert aim, which is good because I always play with inverted aim.

Thankfully the highlighting is subtle and doesn't spoil the game. You still have to look around to figure out what you have to do.

Part 2 where are you?

Sorry guys, I've just been soooo busy with work and school. I was trying to render/edit my video in Adobe Premiere and I still wasn't done by 1 AM. I had to wake up at 7 for work and I just got home from work and going to the doctor.

I'm also waiting on the interview questions the community asked to be answered, because I thought I'd include them as part 2.

Lastly, I wrote about 5 additional pages of stuff but I'm not quite ready to release it.

AKA a MIRROR ;P.

I like how the one on the left is punching at the "bag"(don't recall the real name).

[Outtagum]

A punching bag.

[arveja]

In some of the footage i noticed some things censored.
For example when duke pee or when he take a turd from the toilet. Is that pixelation ingame too or just for the videos?

[The Albino Ape]

It's just for the Videos, it's not censored In-Game.

[Yatta]

Yeah but you don't see his enormous tool when you look down (despite full body awareness in the game).

[Outtagum]

How was the FBA?
