The game has like 3 shots of the actual game (excluding Duke of course).
The first shot shows a very detail-upgraded orange-lame-shooter guy, most of encountered right after we drop in in the first level of Duke Nukem 3d. The second shot shows, the pig-cop, and if i remember correctly, it matches with the photos of pig-cop which appeared in the Gamasutra mag, a few months back. It isn’t a fake after all. The third shot, shows the octopus floating + swimming thing, which we encounter and releases phase attacks on us. Now, this is extremely detailed, to the point that it is more scarier than it ever was in the old version. The last shot shows a huge Half-life type monster, which wasn’t there in any of the old games. Hmmm..i think it was a limitation on the Duke Nukem 3d engine which made it so.
Honestly, the graphics is too good to be true. Duke, especially is modelled fantastically. The facial movements, the smoke, the light reflections, the flexing of muscles, outfit and everything else is simply awesome. I would say, a PC with 256 MB video RAM, Dual Core 2.3 GHz and at least 2GB of RAM will make this baby tick. The probability that this might be a fake did occur, but the graphics seem real enough ( Rage of id software, seems to show case a notch higher level of realism in its trailer ). If not for rage, this graphics would be the best out there. The voice reminded me of my Duke playing days, and duke looks much more built ( or detailed ), looks a bit different, may be he has aged a bit, but i sure hope lots of casinos and topless dance bars in this game too…and please please let us create mods.
Welcome back Duke, and full length trailer and release date should be the next milestones.
