Just finished it.
All I can say is WOW! …but not in a good way. If that demo is representative of the full game, we're totally fucked.
I've heard rumors that the demo is actually an older build. I hope that's the case. If not, there's gonna be a lot of pissed off gamers, including myself.
The mouse control was *terrible*. Very laggy, with different levels of sensitivity for horizontal and vertical movement. That alone completely ruined the experience for me. Even with a crosshair, I had trouble hitting smaller targets. It didn't even feel like modern PC mouse aiming.
Gameplay wise, it was very average. Although the demo is much too short to be able to really judge the gameplay. The graphics are nothing to write home about, but I wouldn't say they're bad. Animations are pretty good. Ran smooth with everything maxed.
There's also a lot of stink being raised over the fact that you can only carry two guns at any given time. I guess it was their attempt to make it feel more realistic, but it just doesn't feel right in a Duke Nukem game, imo.
There's vehicle action (a monster truck) in the second demo level, but it felt completely unnecessary, and isn't fun at all. Overall I think the two levels in the demo were bad choices to show off the game.
Anyways, none of that matters if they can't fix the mouse movement. I was planning on getting the collector's edition, but now I think I'm going to hold off on that.
