   New DNF Trailer
Link.So is there a chance it will ever be released?   
  Nope   ;  I suppose somebody could leak the current build, but I doubt it.   ;  In this video, I can see some kind of "limited physics" insofar as the reiling in that room with the flying octopus thing seems deformable and you can apparently toss those toolboxes or whatever they are down. Other than that, everything seems pretty static. Nothing deforms or seems destructible. I didn't even notice bullet hole decals or scorches from explosions.Characters do have dynamic shadows from the sun in the outside levels, but none from local lights (which look a lot like per-vertex, too). Death animations look scripted/animated. The gibs/blood splatters in the western scene very much look like big billboards, and they fall through the ground.The water (what you can tell from the rather dark scene) looks kind of ok, but not overly impressive either, in my opinion.Other than that... oh wow, they have bloom effect, and the main character keeps saying "fuck" and "shit" all the time.Seriously though, this video does not look much different from what 150 other games have shown since the late 1990s / early 2000s. What's the hype?   ;Quote:Original post by samothWhat's the hype?It's Duke! [cool]   ;  I'm not so sure that this is a 'new' trailer as it is a rehash of previously done stuff.  Even if it was released (which I doubt it ever will be), it'll probably be pretty 'meh'.   ;Quote:Original post by MoeI'm not so sure that this is a 'new' trailer as it is a rehash of previously done stuff.

It's pretty much a given that it won't hold a candle to anything currently out and released in a sensible timescale and people will just buy it because it's Duke Nukem, and be bitterly disappointed.Trash the source tree and move on.;Quote:Original post by MachairaQuote:Original post by samothWhat's the hype?It's Duke! [cool]And he said he'll be back!   ;  Maybe this is all part of the plan! Maybe it has been scripted like this from the beginning: 2009: so called stopped development. 2010: leak another video!I wish to know when this video was created.   ;Quote:Original post by samothDeath animations look scripted/animated.You sound like you know what you're talking about graphics wise, but I think you're wrong about death animations being bad. Im so sick of ragdoll/physics based deaths, it makes every single game feel the same. Duke 3D was awesome BECAUSE of the death animations. Remember shooting the lizard troops and sometimes they would fall to their knees clutching their throat? Thats a scripted death animation and you don't get that with pure physics. The beauty is you can have a ton of different scriped death animations for each scenario. For example death by shotgun vs death by sniper rifle could be entirely different. Whereas with ragdoll physics, its predictable and you already  know how that would look even before the game gets released.
