Old cover vs new cover:



And the differences I spotted:

1) Obviously the background now has proper perspective.
2) new mushroom cloud
3) Duke's hair is longer on top
4) Duke shades have better lighting and also does the overall model of Duke.
5) The laser sight and also more detail on it.
6) The gun now has more detail overall with more markings and engravings
7) Duke's bullets on his straps now are properly placed on the shape of his pecs
8)Overall the models have a few more polies now and hard edges have been rounded up nicely.
9) Of course the enemies have been reposed and with their correct perspective.

Its a little better, but still looks like he has boobs.

Every muscled guy that is looked at from below looks like he has boobs.

When you're a bodybuilder like me, you tend to look at yourself on the mirror while doing the dumbell presses, and that's exactly how the pecs look like.

Looks good/better! Hopefully it's not just for the guidebook though.

WHERE IS THE IMAGE?

[DavoX]

What do you mean? It's not showing up for you?

It's there now.

Must have been my college connection blocking the images. Firefox didn't even show a missing image logo or anything!

As a side: I prefer the newer cover, but still don't think it's great.

[ferran275]

it looks a little better, but makes me sad because I am sure this is what they're going with now since they didn't change it, they just attempted to clean it up a bit.

[Green]

It could just be the lighting but it looks like the belt buckle has changed.

In the mean time you've just quoted 3 huge images

You're right, it has more depth, it looks different. Also the octabrain looks great, I can't wait to see one of those in-game.

[BraveTriforcer]

MUCH better now. His left arm is still freaky-deeky, but at least it doesn't look photo-shopped in. The head tilt is still "Meh", but the overall picture is much better.

[Stabs]

I also think the shirt needs to be a bit more loose fitting rather than the lycra boob tube it is now

[Mr.Deviance]

Man ffs, why am I on a forum with guys that debate Duke Nukem's pecks and smile so much?
Is this forum made entirely out of women members or what the fuck?
I sure as hell hope this isn't a gay bar...

At the gaybar...

[Tea Monster]

His face isn't lost in the explosion which is much better. The weapon land it's laser sight looks much better. I don't like the smirk though. Like the colours and the perspective.

Mr. Deviance, whatever you do, don't read this thread.

Here's the highest resolution possible of the BradyGames' cover(I made it from piecing together all the sections of the Amazon zoom-in preview).

[Guess Who]

The belt buckle is also way better in desing and in detail.

[MusicallyInspired]

The belt buckle isn't reversed but it is altered. The raised logo is narrower than before and it's silver instead of gold. I liked the old one better....reminded me more of the original Duke. I suspect they redid it to more resemble the promo Duke belt buckles they were giving away so that people would really feel like they were wearing Duke's buckle.

[Buke]

Nobody mentioned the most obvious change... Duke's smoking his trademark cigar now.
Overall much better detail in everything.
Kinda iffy on his weird smirk though.

Because the one with the cigar is the american version, and the one without is the european version.

[DavoX]

Also I don't know why it's "trademark" that he smokes a cigar... he never did in DUKE3D.
