The demo is out for anyone that is a FAC member.

I've read both good and bad opinions about the demo with bad opinions seeming much more common.

It's worth mentioning that the demo is the same demo as it has been at all the trade shows (the stadium lockeroom demo) so there is a chance it's an out dated version of the game and not representing the quality of final product.

Anyone here with the demo, opinions would be great.

Edit: The demo seems to be about 9 months old as it's the build from PAX East last year. Clearly the full game will have been improved since then but I've no idea why they decided to release such an old demo.

Unless they had plans for a new demo but couldn't pull it off in time so had to go with the old PAX demo.

That's fitting.

As a joke they should have gotten a late-90s build out of mothballs and released that.

I pretty much knew it from the hype, but after playing the demo, I can safely say that people are going to be very disappointed. Just another average FPS with Duke's personality.

But isn't that what it has always been?

I tried it and didn't get an access code. Can't see anywhere else in the UK doing it now.

People are noticing more things to prove the demo is a very old build. Examples being the shadows in the demo aren't as defined as they are in recent trailers and that the sticky bombs have different textures to the sticky bombs in recent screen shots.

I've no idea why they thought releasing this build was a demo would be a good idea. It would have been smarter to say "Sorry guys, we have no recent demo due to time and resources but we'll give you this bunch of other DLC free!"
Releasing a 9 month old, low quality, glitchy, buggy demo is only going to drive away the customers that were definitly going to buy it before the demo put them off.

The good news is that it's pretty much confirmed to be an older build.

Quote:
Moreover, demos are supposed to be advertisement tools so people can try the game before they buy it. As mentioned, this particular demo is hideously outdated. The PC version for example is exceptionally console-orientated. It doesn’t even have a mouse pointer on the menu screen. Me and Dave played basically the final game a few weeks ago and that had a greater range of options, including mouse control on the main menu. This demo isn’t just an insult to fans who got caught up in the hype, it’s also poor marketing. You need to blow people away with a game’s demo, and this simply doesn’t do that – mostly because almost the entire thing’s been on YouTube since 2010.

I wasn't particularly upset by the demo, given how old the build was. I wish there was actual iron sight aiming, I think at this point it's just outdated. But then again, if anybody could hip fire with extreme accuracy, I'm sure it would be Duke.

I'm 100% sure the actual game will have a much more refined feel, and really deliver on the Duke experience.

I'm glad there's no iron sight aiming, Way too much of that dull shit right now.

I'm still gutted Duke can't carry a million weapons.

Yes, Live multiplayer is confirmed. As far as I've read, deathmatch and Capture the Flag (Capture the babe) are both in.

The game has Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill and Capture the flag. All with their own "Duke" theme, obviously.

I had the BoS edition preordered but, due to a long wionded series of events to do with "failed" payments and sites jacking up the price. I've had to settle for the standard edition.

On the bright side, I'm saving £30 and the outlook for the game isn't that good, right?

Australia broke the stret date and you can go buy it now from EB and something called JB.

On top of that the games leaked in other ways. I'm reading that the game is much better than the demo.

I'm £7 short of getting the game .

Edit: I've finished L.A. Noire so, do you think it's better to keep that or trade it in for DNF? CEX are giving £30 for exchanging it.

If anyone in the UK is picking the game up, get it from ASDA. They are selling it for £33 new, which is the cheapest I've found the game and might be the cheapest I've found any game on release day.

I've not played it yet because I'm waiting for it to install on my hard drive.

I got a cool t-shirt too. It's black with the Duke radioactive logo on the front and the DNF logo on the back.

He is a die hard Quake player and hated Team Fortress 2 and Brink, to give you some insight into what he typically plays. He said the maps are super linear like modern shooters.

I didn't HATE Brink, but it could really have used some more time being developed. Everything story-wise is "Hack this" or "Defend X". So vanilla. I'd probably rate it about 6.5 out of 10, just for the effort and the show of untapped potential.

Not a spoiler but I gave a run down of my opinion so far and it got sort of long. Set to spoilers incase anyone would rather skip over it.

SPOILER: show
Ok, I finally got to actually play the game after messing around with it on release and then not being able to play it until just now.

I've barely started but I can say it's not "crap". It's by no means perfect but it's not crap.

The world is pretty interactive, which I like. There are small things like using vending machines and eating/drinking just for the hell of it, there are distractions like pool and pinball and there are things that give you the Ego boost like clearing the pool table, looking in the mirror, curling weights etc.
Some interactions do seem really pointless like the ability to spin an office chair. It doesn't trigger a one liner or anything, it just spins the chair.

Dukes animations aren't that great. If you look in a mirror and jump, he jumps as if he was river dancing with his arms by his sides.
Enemy deaths are weird. A pig cop leapt at me, I blasted him in the face and he just fell straight down. There is a chance there was going to be an animation like in the trailer where Duke is holding a pig cop by the tusks and I just happened to shoot just before that animation started up, causing the momentumless drop to the ground.

You can use items from around you as weapons. I picked up a body building trophy and threw it at an enemies head, killing him. The thing about these items is that they seem to get an instant kill on an enemy no matter where you hit them. I hit an enemy in the leg with a trophy and he died.
I picked up a gas canister, threw it at a bad guy and shot it, causing flames to bellow out of it before it exploded, blowing the bad guy to bits.

As for damage, Duke only really takes 3 or 4 shots before he's "critical". Then he can, oddly, take a hell of a lot more punishment after his health goes into the red.

It's a fun game, it's no Perfect Dark or TimeSplitters 3 but it's not as low as Turok (360) or Perfect Dark Zero.
I've only barely begun the game and I'm really just at the first "level" of the fire fights in the bowels of my Casino so the game might get better or worse.

It's "old school" in the sense that it's about shooting things and screwing around and not super serious squad tactics and such.

The game starts pretty open. You can mess around in your pent house and a stuff. The game gets linear when you get to the fire fight section so I'm assuming that it'll open up again at some point.

So far it seems good, fun but not drop-to-your-knees-and-weep-tears-of-joy awesome like everyone seemed to think it would be as if the longer the dev time, the better the game.
It could get better or worse, I'll have to wait and see but I'm optimistic.

If someone pirated it, there is a chance he's got the unfinished version which is probably more like the PAX demo and not the final thing.

I feel this is gonna get a lot of shit because people are going to go in expecting something mind blowing and they are not going to get it. Kinda like people with L.A. Noire, people buying that thinking they were getting GTA Cop Edition, don't like L.A. Noire.

I've enjoyed my DNF playing so far. Even if it's not the best game ever, I love the shots it takes at Halo, Gears of War and even Valve.

I think critics are just blasting the game because they feel like it's 14 or 15 years overdue or some such shit, and seeing how long it took to develop, everybody, instead of appreciating the game for what it is, is like "WTF is this crap?"

I'm gonna go and get my copy (originally just had the game, but upgraded to BoS ed. for all the cool bonus stuff) from the local GameStop where I have it reserved and just enjoy it.

Ok, I've played some more and the game is getting better as it goes on. It didn't start badly in my opinion but it is getting better.

I think the momentumless death of a pig cop was a one off glitch after all. Blasted another one in the face as he leapt towards me and he went flying across the room.
I'm liking the AI as well, actually.

Looking forward to getting some more time with it tomorrow.

I think a lot of people will hate on the game partly because they expect too much and partly because it's the thing to do.

Anyone found the reference to Dead Space yet?

.In the underground alien place, the first one you visit thats green. There is a dead end you can get to and it has a space marines corpse and his severed head. The head looks a lot like the head of the main character from Dead Space and Duke says. "That is one dead space marine.".

This is the worst thing I have played in some time.

So they take an old-style FPS game which is basic as fuck, then add in linear corridors, 2 weapon carrying and regenerating health and it's like it straddles itself between the worst traits of 2 generations of FPS games.

I am so fucking glad I decided to download the game before I bought it. I'd feel ripped off if this was in a Steam sale at 59p.

If it's the demo you've downloaded, you're playing an outdated version. If you're playing the final full game, I don't know what to tell you.

The only thing I don't like is the 2 weapon limit but it's not that big a deal to me.

I'm wondering why the interactivity seems to have stopped.
At the start of the game, pretty much everything I walked up to had some form of interactivity to it. Now, there isn't really anything.
Maybe it's because of where I am in the story.

Just so you know, the game breaks away from corriders after a little while.

I am actually playing through ultimate doom right now, and that picture is right on the money. When was the last FPS with truly expansive levels?

Prey, maybe?
