eshwaaz said:Aside from the "old game looked a hundred times better visually" comment, I agree. The 2001 trailer still feels like it's preparing you for something truly exciting and relevant; a bona fide gaming event. The new trailer is bland and forgettable by comparison. As you said, "profanity, boobs and a pee joke" do nothing to satisfy. Show me some meaty combat, show me some impressive environments, show me some hint of the creativity, diversity and interactivity that Duke 3D had - then maybe I'll be excited.
If Duke 3D had been only about boobs and profanity as the new trailer leads you to believe, it would never have been the hit that it was. To say that that's primarily what made Duke 3D successful and memorable is selling that game incredibly short.

I think it's because the old trailer kinda has a cheesy action movie trailer feel to it, whereas much of the new one is just trotting out all the elements people expect from Duke in between tiny gameplay snippets.snoopers said:Regarding the "it looked better in 2001" statement, I'm not talking technology. Just saying I find the old build's art direction more appealling. The texture work, the lights, the color palette. All the little details. It looked and moved like a gorgeous, ambitious high profile game for its time, and it had character. Duke 2011 just screams cheap & bad art to me.

And yes, I long for a proper sequel to Blood. I think Warner Brothers owns the IP now?
Bulletstorm looks more like a rich man's Painkiller, with the Doom comic guy doing the story and dialogue.Instro said:Bulletstorm is a poor mans Duke.

More than Blood 3 i want the Blood source code one of the programmers that worked on it has the source code but hes afraid to release it.
This. But this time without the offensive Asian stereotypes. I'm one of the few people on the planet who liked Shadow Warrior a little more than Blood.charsace said:Duke had great level designs and gameplay too.
Time for Lo Wang to make his return!
