Duke Nukem Forever demo'd on video

Contains Harsh Language. And weather.

NSFW Shot at the FirstLook games convention in Amsterdam, here's how long-awaited Duke Nukem Forever is shaping up. The good stuff's four minutes in.

The main thing that the whiteboard illustrates

... is how cumbersome console pads *still* are when it comes to FPS games. So glad it's coming out on PC ...

Re: "15 years of being drilled"

Actually the same has had the opposite effect on me.

I take great pleasure in using the time-honoured and correct versions in context whenever the opportunity presents itself. Whenever anyone complains, I get a nice warm feeling from knowing that somewhere along the line I've managed to wind up some pathetic little PC-fixated git.

Hail To The King, Baby!

Stuff the politically correct brigade. Hopefully this will be a return to real gaming. I'll be there on release day.

Can't wait.

Too right

This whole "abandon PC gaming" movement has me worried. I refuse point blank to play any FPS without a keyboard and mouse, screw that!

I have this argument with my bro all the time (he's a console gamer only). With a mouse, I can do a 180 and perfect headshot in a silly amount of time (probably under a second). With a controller, there's a set speed the aim moves at, there's going to be waiting or there's going to be a serious lack of accuracy.

Nothing would annoy me more in L4D than hearing a hunter behind me and being half way through a turn to shoot the bugger as it pounces and tears me apart.
