That looks dated and awful.

Wasn't the first one dated and awful(ly awesome) as well? I remember playing it when Quake came out and that was light years ahead in terms of the game engine.

Its the humor and fun, non stop action that really appeals and makes it so fondly remembered.

I'm pumped about this!!

Yeah with Duke Nukem its really the humor and the character that makes people like it. If they did the same game except with some generic character instead of Duke as the main character, no one would really care.

This will probably be a fun game for the same reasons.

But somehow I feel like they still won't be able to match Duke Nukem 3D.

Me thinks you are jealous of Dukes Manliness. It's ok, no man is as manly as Duke.

Chuck couldn't handle Duke, I'm sorry. Chuck has mad kung foo skills, while Duke is a ladies man, a manly man, a man who makes aliens run away by his very presence, and he "hits" a giant three boobed tentacle-ed creature. No contest.

Dammit, I'm sick of people saying this. This is why developers focus on graphics more than anything else.

Graphics should be the lowest priority for a game, far after a decent story and great gameplay. =|

The graphics look fine to me

Thank god developers don't think like that or we'd still be playing isometric rpgs.

Chuck Norris looks at Duke Nukem and whimpers.

Duke Nukem 3d was known for having excellent graphics when it released and it was competing against rather weak entries into the space. It's a different world now, and I'm not sure nostalgia+dated game assets is going to = success this time around.

A Challenger appears!

GAME OVER hahahahaha

Serious Sam is a mediocre Duke clone.

Why? Because he has big muscles and is funny?

Only two resemblance's they have

I'd rather play a god-tier game with gakky graphics, than an awful game with superb graphics.

The games have nothing to do with eachother outside of their genre.

Wow, people, stop getting worked up over nothing, I was purely comparing manliness here, stop jumping on every tiny thing.

You should probably not hedge your bets on duke nukem then.

There's a big difference between bad graphics and being unable to tell WTF is going on. Isometric RPGs focus on the landscape and not the characters.
