Deviance why the heck are you playing in my shitty monitor resolution? You have dual GTX 580's for crying out loud.

It's because I played it at work on a 9800gt with 2gb ram and a dual core.
The game ran perfect with a few minor stutters on it I was very happy.

[coheed82]

I enjoyed it very much! I´m happy to be able playing it. And you can bet I´ll play through it 10 times more in hope of discovering some hidden stuff.

I´m just sad that Gearbox said we will see something new, but there wasn´t anything new.

[coheed82]

ahh... only downloaded 42Mb so far.. come on now... oh yeah!.

ill await til its done, thrash it then come here for my review of it.
ENJOY EVERYBODY!!
THIS IS IT!..

work? nah im @ home.... will be playing it through the night..

[Jeff]

Wow, that was awesome. I absolutely loved the demo, and I will play it again tomorrow. And again, and again. Well worth the wait. Good job Gearbox and others!

Spoiler

I'd put the graphics between 2007-2008, but some parts looked pretty recent. I didn't really look, I was having too much damn FUN!!!

[oOFrollxTaceOo]

Well, I played it on both consoles. Xbox 360 sucked and ps3 is rocking so far.

textures load a whole lot easier on ps3, and the details are alot better as well.

[Lt Linguini]

What an evening. Definitely one I'll be remembering for a while.

Oh, and the demo kicks so much ass

No...no spolierssssss...if they must plz spoiler tag it.

[Jeff]

Tony Almeida (from 24): You'll find out soon enough.

[kaisersoze]

Ok I just finished the demo.


I guess this could be considered SPOILERS regarding the demo so don't read any farther if you don't want to know anything about it.






Ok. This is a single player demo that features the Cycloid Stadium fight. You then get the monster truck level and some of the mine level.

Everything is extremely polished. I'm running it on a quad core Q6600 2.4ghz, 6 gig ram, Vista 64bit, Geforce GTX 460. No hiccups, no stutter, no pop in.

Everything in "Ultra" detail settings at 1080p. Smooth as silk.

Controls are tight(mouse and keyboard here) and respond well. Weapons are great. I love the shotgun. You get to try pipebombs, holoduke, shrink ray, rail gun,
shotgun, ripper and his trusty pistol. You can use "Duke vision" to see in the dark. I actually like this effect.

The interactivity is fun. Picked up a turd and slung it around. Flushed toilets, pissed, turned off showers, faucets, drew on the chalkboard. You can pick up/grab
objects like gas barrels, etc.

There is gore and blood. You can target and blow off specific limbs on enemies and the poor pig cops got the brunt of it. Haha. Arms, legs, head. All can be shot off.
Ragdoll physics ftw.

The music is perfect and ambient sounds are very good as well.

You do have regenerating "ego" health but let me tell ya, you will get your ass handed to you pretty quickly in some areas. I played on "Let's Rock" difficulty and got my
ass kicked a few times.

Attention to details is very good here. Everything looks solid. The PC version *IS* the version to get if you want the best visuals. There's no doubt and Randy confirmed it himself.

People complaining that the game looks "dated" need their eyes checked. It looks gorgeous.

The demo left me wanting more.

Oh and the intro? BEST. DAMN. GAME. INTRO. EVER. Recalling the events in Duke 3D......


I have actually played Duke Nukem Forever!!!!

Congrats again to 3drealms, Triptych, Piranha and Gearbox. This game will sell millions......

Now back to playing around in the demo.....

how you get it working on two systems? my code is only good for Steam I want it on my PS3 as well

[Madmaxwell]

weird emotional mix I love that i can say I played it but I am crushed they lied to us about so much mainly it is the PAX demo which the promised for months we would get a different demo.

[oOFrollxTaceOo]

Spoiler

the entire demo is maybe 15 minutes long depending on difficulty and exploring. If no exploring and medium difficulty, I'd give it about 10 minutes or less. It's fun, sure. If you get it on consoles, get it for ps3, because xbox's demo blows. I don't know why it blows, it just does. Like it was rushed or something maybe or it's xbox's way of handling the graphics/controls. You get to throw turds, kill the giant guy in the stadium, laugh at the half-life 2 joke, and drive a monster truck. Oh and get splattered with alien sperm.

I need to get my eyes checked soon. Maybe because recently all I've played recently was Mass Effect 2, which has 2010 graphics, so I might need to play through the demo again. As I said earlier, I wasn't really concentrating on the graphics, more the gameplay and the fun most of all.

[Detinator73]

This game is awesome. I am going to keep my pre-order on steam.
