Not sure about you folks... but, after waiting for DNF for almost a zillion years, are you willing to try to demo first before getting the full game ? I mean we all waited for the game for such a long time, why go spoil it on a demo ?

The game will probably be poor anyway, may as well find out before you buy the game.

Could people cancel their pre-orders after playing the demo? Seems counter-productive to release a demo at all. 

I'm with you, I don't know about swearing off of videos...

But I want to play it cold when it comes out.

...or as cold as a first-person shooter can be...

There's no way DNF is going to be innovative right? Or even good?

I haven't really played any Duke Nukem games before, but I'm gonna pass on the demo and just jump in when the game comes out.  Does anyone think someone like me would even find any appeal in this game?

I'll probably only play the demo. I don't think I'm interested in actually playing the game :o

Duke Nukem never really seems to have the best story... So why not?

Spoil.....   You already know what the game is and what it is about already.

If you're interested enough in the game to be buying it day one and don't want to ruin anything, then yeah, skip the demo.

Game will probably be medicore but I know I will lay it. No demo for me since I want to get all the jokes during real playthrough.

What's with all the people not betting on Duke...

Yeah, I think anyone with a solid head on their shoulders realizes that there's a very real possibility that this game won't be good, thus a demo would be a very helpful tool in making that purchasing decision.

I don't care if the game sucks, i'm just buying it so I can write on my tombstone, I have played DNF before I died...

The game is going to be shit anyway so why they are releasing a demo is beyond me.

I don't  understand why everyone thinks this game is going to be shit.  I mean its not like they aren't being completely transparent about what this game is which is pretty much most of what Duke 3D was just with HD graphics.   Quite honestly thats all Duke needs to be.   If you enjoyed Duke 3D you'll get some chuckles out of the game and most likely enjoy it.    This game isn't  trying to be innovative nor win over any new fans.

Its been finished for the Duke 3D fans out there and the guys at 3D Realms that were so instrumental in helping start Randy Pitchford's career.  Your not a Duke 3D fan or a former employee of 3D realms then you probably don't care.

Knowing the history of this game, I'm going to play the demo to see if the game is worth my time and money.

Why are people saying it's going to be shit? It's in the hands of a very capable developer with a good sense of humor, sounds like a perfect match for duke to me.

if you're going to buy a game, why wouldn't you play the demo first? i want to know whether or not it's worth the money. also: john st. john is a cool dude.

I'm definitely going to play the demo, to affirm my thoughts that this game will never ever live up to the insane expectations placed up on it. It's going to be a cool novelty for about a week, maybe a month tops. My playing experience will probably go something like this:

"Oh cool new duke game."

"hahaha that's funny, oh look boobs."

"Oh game is finished now, well that was fun."

Take back to store and return it for something else.

I couldn't care less about this game. I'll play the demo for the hell of it, and I'll never touch it again.

Neither do I.For a mindless, action-packed shooter it looks pretty good.

I have actually been kind of excited by everything that I have seen of DNF so far. I would like to keep my disappointment for when it actually comes out. So I guess I agree with OP.

I don't usually play demos anyway.

See, look at this. There is at least an outside chance that this game will be awesome. Maybe not 15 years of awesome, but awesome.

I'm gonna skip it, I don't want it spoiled and I don't want to have any opinions about it before I play the actual game

I've never played a Duke Nukem game but I've inadvertently followed the production of this game for so god damn long there is no way I'm not playing it.
