Are you crazy man? The guy was basically born with sunglasses (ok, he didn't have them in the first two games, but they were 2D, so it didn't really matter)! You can't just take them away, the whole coolness factor goes puff like that!

Eww...that does not look like Duke in the way I thought he'd look. Better stick those sunglasses back on, ON THE DOUBLE!!!

lol @ how young he looks in this picture. Maybe they ditched the 3D Realms model and replaced it with the Duke Begins model?

If that's not a bad joke, then there REALLY is a pretty good reason for him to wear them!!! And he'd better PUT THEM ON AGAIN IMMEDIATELY!

He looks fine to me in that picture without them. Not as cool, of course, but still! He looks "normal" enough to me.

Guess that changes any character sliders for the Duke character in some of the other games I've been playing.

I'd like to know if Gearbox was 100% responsible for changing the model.
As soon as I saw the Cover Art the first thing that came to mind, was that they were trying to make him look more young, handsome and feminine (the face),
so that It would have a better marketing impact.
It's certainly not the look that 3D Realms envisioned i'd be fairly confident to say.
The duke that was "all out of gum" was so much more aggressive and badass looking:
Maybe after he became the King of the World, he had too much "gum" at his disposal,
lost his aggression, got a make over, and had a bit of plastic surgery done!
This has been my biggest gripe with the Gearbox takeover, coupled with their decision to change the Vegas levels to day time.
I sure hope there will be at least 1 vegas night time level, i mean come on, anytime you hear the word Vegas,
you think of that neon glowing city, under the night sky!
I still respect Gearbox for all they have done, but these 2 points would be my biggest criticism of their work,
If it ain't broke don't fix it!

Cool! It seems those guys are updating their software to be able to extract DNF assets out of their archives.
That's going to help the DNF modding community, if there will be one at all.

LOOOL, I'm laughing my ass off! Duke without sunglasses is just a regular guy! He is like Peter Parker! ROFL! Haha! He looks like a 21 years old regular guy!

The problem with his face also comes from the fact that he doesn't have any facial expression.
He looks like he is day dreaming looking through a wall. He has no cool mouth and eyebrow expressions.
Would love to see him animated without his glasses.
If I get his model in gmod, I can play with his facial expression if he has face muscles modeled.

Damn. The 3D Realms Kurt Russel looking model was perfect. His muscles aren't even as big as they should be. Duke is supposed to have a build like Arnold in his prime, not an amateur college wrestler. Someone should change the model with a better one if the mod tools ever come out.

Looking at the trailer again, do they use a different model in the trailer than in game? This model looks like the muscles are smaller than in the trailer.

Guys remember that The modellers probably didn't pay too much attention to the expression of his eyes or even a proper model of them. They suppossed we would never actually see them.

I know why he looks so different now. His in game face has his forehead creased and his face muscles tensed while here his face has no expression activated on it.
He still has a baby face even when you put his glasses back on.
Come to think of it, even his nose looks weird.
It might be that what those people found in the game was an older model of Duke that was left in the game for some reason?

Wow. He barely passed as Duke with this new model WITH sunglasses. Without them he couldn't hope to pass as Duke. I so wish they would have stuck with the older 35+ Duke look from the previous games.

Like I said, this model has a different nose and seems much younger than the one that's actually in the demo.
Go look play the demo and look at duke's face in the mirror and you will see it doesn't look the same.

Looks even more like the doofus fresch behind Duke Nukem Reloaded.

^ nah, not even close.
@ Mr. Deviance - you are right. I don't think the model from the forum is that in the demo, or the face is fine tunable. Still, are you working with the model from the forum?

This is the how he looks in the fac demo.
If you look at his hair, you will notice that the pic from the left looks different.
