Well either way, I still think it's stupid to decide "what year" Duke will look like. It's been said countless times by programmers, game developers, and George himself that most of the stuff in any modern game can be upgraded fairly easily.

Most of all, no two games ever look the same in any given year unless they are sharing an engine. Doom 3 and Half Life 2 both came out in 2004, two of my favorite games, and they looks nothing alike. Doom I think had superior shadowing, ambient lighting and edges, while Half Life obviously was way ahead of it's time with physics, reflective lighting, and environment interaction.
