The scene may have changed, but the action, blood, guts, and violence are still the same. The only conceptual difference between Duke Nukem and Call Of Duty is that the former doesn't take itself quite so seriously.

Why are there no movies like the original Predator anymore? Which got slammed by critics when it came out, but time was kinder to that movie, maybe it will be to DNF too, it already has a cult following.
In a world full of emo pussies Nukem is more rellevant than ever.

But the thing, sadly, isn't about innovation. It is about relevance and looking at the FPS market (especially console one, PC luckily still has things like portal, stalker, metro and indie things like The Ball) I'd say that COD has influenced largely what kind of FPS's are made in the AAA circle.

You should apply for a job at one of those sites or magazines and show them a thing or two in how reviewing is done.

DNF is a first person shooter, not a movie!

The makers of Duke never claimed to have created a compelling character for the movies or for comics; just good enough for a First Person Shooter. In this context, I think Duke works, and is as relevant as it can go. Hell, he is the hero saving the chicks. Ridding my screen from the ugly aliens etc. - If you try to look for a deeper meaning of the First Person Shooter, and claim irrelevancy of the shooter's character, which in the end is actually you, yourself, ehmm, you just may have got the wrong game.

That's "heroes saving the chick". Only a slight difference but enough of a distinction. Duke's a player, after all.

You might very well dislike the movie, though. Personally I thought it was a wonderful fest o' gore and guns.

You lack the cognitive ability to coherently interpret my posts. I am done with you.

You bring up a good point, alas, that film was pretty much independently made from studios and if Sylvester wasn't such a heavyweight in Hollywood, it probably would have never gotten the greenlight. My point was more that the general culture is moving away from these types of stories and characters, leaving people like us often out in the cold.

Well CoD is anything but irrelevant. DNF is totally irrelevant compared to the CoD franchise. The fact is that DNF is heavily influenced by the franchise, not vice versa. This is because CoD is not irrelevant but DNF is.
