After long and hard deliberation, I have decided that this is the greatest trailer ever made.

Disgusting to see people complaining about John St. John's acting.

That was one hell of a trailer. I can't wait for the inevitable head ripping and neck shitting.

 @kerikxi:@SockLobster:  In that case congratulations to all the people in the USA from Europe, I had a reasonable doubt but after considering other games, like the Sims, I made the wrong guess. Were we talking about Japan my guess would have been different, despite of the fact that censoring is more common in Japan.

WTF.
 
This looks like a tonne of fun. Those who are hung up on the graphics are sorely missing the point.

It looks like Gearbox has done Duke right.   Also, those guys know how to make a trailer.

You know something?  Even if this game comes out to be a crappy boob and blood fest, Gearbox are still heroes in my book.  They took on over a decade's worth of baggage AFTER an incredibly successful IP launch in Borderlands instead of going for the safe money in the sequel. 
 
I would have loved to be in the conference room when Pitchford or whomever told the team, "guess what?  We're making the Duke Nukem game."

Invaders must die! Looks pretty awesome, hopefully it will have a co-op like 3D had.

So, this looks pretty rad, actually! Color me excited!
 
And all the E3 coverage seemed to complain about the graphics. Perhaps complain is the wrong word, but everyone managed to bring up that, "it doesn't look very good." I think it looks better-than-fine!
 
Monster trucks, giant aliens, cheesy-ass Duke, Freeze Ray, strippers, that crazy-ass car-crash-into-the-parking-structure-scene.... I'm sold, I think?  ' Won't lie, though, I feel pretty effing retarded getting excited about this again.

Someone wants to take part in a pool about how much will it take to release a patch to remove the censoring?

I'm kinda worried about it. Those who aren't familiar with the Duke Nukem franchise aren't going to get the reference and will do nothing but complain about how juvenile and antiquated it looks.
 
I'm really looking forward to spending however much time is needed to get through this game and laughing at all the boob and piss jokes that this game is sure to be riddled with.
 
Gearbox has a lot to live up to but I enjoyed Borderlands so much that if they can do with this what they did with that, I'll dump a ton of hours into this.

" Umm. Who ever the voice actor for Duke is... they suck. Not a good start.  "

Thats what duke sounds like. Probably the same dude. Ham, Cheese, and Corn are the ingredients to a proper voice for him. "
 You know, I was thinking that too. If it's the same guy, then that would explain why he's not that great. I mean come on, 1997? Actual no-shit voice actors were as rare as a winged  platypi . Hell, jumping and looking up was the still the most revolutionary thing to happen to shooters around that time.

" I wonder if the same people extolling the virtues of this trailer are the same people hating the shit out of the Bulletstorm ones.  Cause, while I will definitely check out Duke to see what happened all those years, Bulletstorm just looks way more entertaining. "
The difference is that this trailer is actually gameplay, with just the right amount of cheese that you expect from Duke Nukem. Notice where the only curse word used is "Fucking", whereas all of bullet storm's marketing has been "MOTHERFUCKER THIS GAME IS FUCKING BADASS PREORDER DICKTITS!111!", while it hasn't even earned it yet.

" as much as i like The Prodigy's "Invaders Must Die", seeing it in two separate trailers on the same day doesn't help the "burn out" factor. 
 
But yeah, very similar feel to it to Bulletstorm with less of the suggested innovations in Bulletstorm's gameplay. I'm curious to how far Duke can go on nostalgia and writing alone. "
Umm no innovations? Did you miss all of the boobs!?
