Duke Nukem Forever demo video

Duke Nukem Forever will finally be released next week but today those who pre-ordered the game can have access to an exclusive demo. Well, not that exclusive actually since it's the same old one we have all been seeing for a while. Still, here is the first part of the 360 demo, with its choppy framerate, aliasing, poor textures and 40 second long loading screens. Yes, it does not look pretty considering today's standards, but, hey, it's Duke and he does not give a f*ck. More to come, including videos from the PC demo.
Update: Last part of the 360 demo video is up.
Update 2: First part of the PC version added, 1080p, it's aliased, but AA was activated...
Update 3: Second and third parts of the PC version are up.

Yeah i played it today on PC and its not very good. The graphics are outdated. 5 years ago it would be ok but now its just bad. I wouldnt buy it.

Yep, played the 360 version... not impressed at all. The visuals we always knew would look outdated. The poor framerate (noticable on the second part of the demo), and long loading times, really shouldnt have been an issue though.

Not a great demo, and more than likely not a great game. Certainly not what i would consider worth a £40 price tag... not when its up against polished quality titles this year. Like i said in the "what's up" box... if you've waited years for this game then you can wait an extra few weeks after its release as this is destined to have its price slashed in half soon enough.

This game is made for people who were looking forward to it, not anyone else. Duke is about exactly what this game seems to be delivering, nothing more. At the very least this will open things up to get Duke back in action and gearbox can maybe make a sequel. In fact that seems to be the entire reason for gearbox taking this game into it's arms and finishing it up for release.

This does not look good. OK, it's old school duke, but I expected better somehow. After all this years of waiting, maybe some people will say it shouldn't have been released at all. Maybe when the price drops.

It's "Duke". I don't know what people were expecting.

a good game? i mean, we wait longer then i care to remember and we get THIS in return? that's not something i'm willing to circle jerk over tbh. mediocrity is mediocrity, no matter what name is on the front of the box.

that really annoys me. A game shouldnt be successful on the back of a name alone. Nostalgia's only going to last for so long with this game before even the most optimistic "fan" realises that they just spent £30+ and 7years? on a game that would have been unpolished had it hit its ORIGINAL release date. Gearbox are already doing damage control.

If it were a budget game I would understand, but this is just horrible. You can't blame UE3 either because the very same developer has put out one of the better uses of the engine in Borderlands, a game which I fear may not get a shot at a sequel because of this pile of misplaced nostalgic diarrhoea.

a game that gets developed over 13 years should have been epic but instead we get last gen graphics copuled with a choppy frame rate and quite forgetable story = bargain bin purchase, anything over £15 and i would say your ripping your self off, i just wish that after all these year wanting to play it they had canceled it rather than take 13 years to make a substandard shooter which pales in comparison to COD or battlefield, i can see this making gearbox go bankrupt.

Commented on 2011-06-04 00:08:56

Ok, that´s disappointing. How can they even release a demo which runs like shit and looks like shit? :/

Commented on 2011-06-04 00:13:01

I like the ending of part 1

Remember Too Human? In development for decade and it still it fell incredibly short.

I wonder if they have changed any of this since they showed it around a year ago.

Commented on 2011-06-04 23:19:30

Yeah I'm hoping that since this is a year old demo that it's not a good representation of the game.. At least I hope it isn't. Silly of GearBox to release such a shoddy demo

What do you guys expect after such troubled development? It would have been a modern miracle if this game had turned out to be above average.

oh god i forgot about too human, worse still how long has diablo 3 been in development, i just hope that diablo 3 doesnt join too human and duke nukem forever in the ranks of took too long to develop and now there past it.

What's up?

KORNdog The biggest thing i want from the vita tho is something they advertised before it launched; remote play for PS3 titles. I played resi 2 on my PS3, via my vita from work and it had zero input lag. (2 minutes ago)
KORNdog Oh, and that domain you where on about is forsaken souls. It's either the name for soul sacrifice outside of japan, or it's something new, hopefully demon's souls related... (6 minutes ago)
KORNdog Fuck buying the same game twice for retail prices. But if the vita version was 5 quid extra for a digital version. I'd be more then happy to do that for the ability to carry on playing at work. (8 minutes ago)
KORNdog Either both included in the price, or the vita version at a big discount if bought alongside the PS3 version. (10 minutes ago)
KORNdog I think ports will be inevitable since it sells what i think is an awesome feature; the shared save system. Sony just need to handle it propperly like they have with motorstorm RC. (11 minutes ago)
Moonwalker Soul Sacrifice seems to be coming to Vita though, recently a new domain was registered with a very similar name by Sony i think it was. E3 probably. (11 minutes ago)
KORNdog That newly announced kickbeat looks cool tho, could offer some ouendan action, could be shit tho, we still aint got soundshapes yet either, i really want that. (12 minutes ago)

Driftwood It's been a while since I last came here. Sorcery may not be the game you're all waiting for, but it's a nice surprise for a PS Move game. Videos now available. (2 Days ago)
Driftwood Our videos of I Am Alive are up. (11 Weeks ago)
Driftwood Bioshock Infinite will be released on PC, PS3 and X360 on October 19. (11 Weeks ago)
Driftwood More Vita footage to come this week and we'll start with Rayman Origins today. :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Escape Plan videos are up. (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Many Vita games videos now available. (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Parts 2 & 3 of the ME3 demo are up. We also have one spare code to give away, check the news. (> 3 Months ago)
