Yes. I didn't like the voice acting back then and I don'tt like it now. Just because you're being deliberately chliche doesn't mean you have to sound like you're half asleep and reading your lines for thhe first time. Just look at Kurt Russell in Bigh Trouble In Little China and Bruce Campbell in Army Of Darkness (the latter of which Duke borrows some of his lines).

Re: Duke Nukem Forever Footage
I was obsessed with Duke Nukem 3D and 64 as a kid. I put countless hours into each version. So, I'm really looking forward to this one. It'll most-likely be a day one purchase. Hopefully it'll be a lot of nostalgic fun.

I got a smile listening to the trailer because it reminded of the good times I had with duke 3d. This game is due to fail if its not even out and people are already complaining about something as trivial as a voice over.

I guess I don't see the problem here. Most of the voice acting in the last true duke game were mostly one liners, and cool ones at that. It wasn't like he was doing a whole story narrative with his voice. Can you imagaine if they would have totally changed his voice? People would have been crying out that it wasn't truly a duke game because the character changed too much.

I've always liked the Duke Nukem voice. Hell, I still drop some of his one liners (to the befuddlement of many). In the past 12 years I've moved far far away from FPS, but I did like Borderlands a whole lot, so I might pick this up.
It seemed like they didn't showcase any new weapons or anything though. Unless I missed it, everyone was in 3D.

That trailer was fun actually! If it gets good reviews, I may just pick it up.

was watching GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley and head of Gearbox, Randy Pitchford, said single player is 16-18 hours. not too shabby.

Duke Nukem opened the 14th annual Interactive Achievement Awards ceremony.

I liked the bit about the power armor.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever Footage
as long as it keeps the fun and inventiveness for that long, that is excellent. considering Gearbox's other FPS shooter recently, Borderlands, was 30+ hours in single player and was thoroughly enjoyable throughout is a very good sign.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever Footage
Also, from the videos it almost looks like two different games. Not just graphics which suck in some shots and look amazing in others, but also the way the game plays. I don't know how much of the game is Gearbox and how much is all the work before they picked it up.
All that being said, I have the Balls of Steel edition on pre-order....
