I didn't notice the glasses until you said something Jobi, but you're right, they're all wrong, excuse my noobish question, but where are these from?

[Angelo86]

My version:

[JobivanHiob]

your glasses are slightly better, but the hairdue is a little bit to high. BTW great photoshop for the extended hair. :wow:

those glasses are the right ones:

Or those:


It seems like almost the same glasses.

Looks weird.

[Damien_Azreal]

Yes, the entire face looks... almost bloated. Overly proportioned... just wrong.

Like the bottom half of his face is wider then the top, with a big chin and l-just-had-a-lobotamy facial expression?

[fast-1]

Where is that picture of Duke from, the ones kaiser posted.

There just pictures, in game polygons are different right.

[thunderPIN]

I'll tell you something that's weird about it. The top of his hair is angled wrong. I think that's what is making everything look weird. If his hair his angled like that then he top of his skull must slant on an upwards angle lol. I don't hate the picture though. I actually like it. It's not perfect but I like the background with the octabrains and Duke's clothes look awesome.

[Damien_Azreal]

Yes. His chin makes it look like his head is angled up, but the hair makes it look angled down... which makes the face look... inverted and really bad.

[thunderPIN]

Agree or disagree with me but I think it looks more like the Duke we know then the version shown in the 2007 teaser. The Duke in the 2007 teaser kind of looked like Bruce Willis in the face at a certain point when he took that cigar out of his mouth lol

Exactly, looks ... retarded

[WarThrash]

Sounds like the name of a china copy cat product to me, like sunny electronics for sony ericssons and NDKIA OR NOKLA for Nokias lol

It just looks wrong in general... Not Duke...

[delta2kbr]

My problem with the second pic is that it looks like that Duke is shaking his ass. That's quite disturbing.

[MusicallyInspired]

Looks like he has a toupee and it isn't aligned correctly on his head.

[Romulus_ut3]

Just my opinion, the z brush model pic of duke that came along with the leaked pictures of props is the perfect duke Nukem Model so far except the fact that all of the Duke Nukem models looks as if they can also advertise for hair gel :d

Edit: The ears are wrong too, if you look really close at some of the older Duke images, and the new(er) screenshots his ear is wide on the top and thin on the bottom. This picture his ear is equal in size top and bottom.

[KO Gilligan]

Those are not Duke's sunglasses (I know it's been said already)

[Sketch]

I feel sorry for the poor lady who gave birth to that massive head. And the thread title thing had me laughing for so long, twas great.

[ferran275]

I've been reading this thread the past week and I JUST realized, what the heck are we speculating on? LOL is it that we don't think the image is legit? or is it that we simply don't like the image? and yeah his cigar and glasses look totally shopped

[KO Gilligan]

looks like Elvis (the later years) with blonde hair

That's why George broussard needs to finish DNF and in 3DR , outsourcing such as Miller suggested should have they done long ago is a bit funny since the only guys who know how to make duke is the owners of 3DR , you can help however you want with the guys making the game , it's not original , it's not real duke.

But for DS and handhelds/consoles in general that quality should be enough since we want them to focus on PC.

Make PC premium and most advanced and original , then outsource handheld/console ports with half of originality and more like a casual game or preview of some kind ... that's good combo especially those massive casual sellers will compensate PC high costs.

Duke Nukem Manhattan Project

Duke Nukem Time to Kill

[KO Gilligan]

I'm a little upset at how they desecrated the Tomb Raider games by making that last thing.

Yup, it's his cousin Douglas Neukem. (Duke is the nickname for Douglas.)

Zero Hour and Duke Nukem Advanced, aswell, were excellent additions to the franchise not developed by 3D Realms. Where the notion came from that only 3DR can do it right, is just beyond me. Duke3D is a fantastic game, but I TOTALLY believe a company like Gearbox can make a KICK ASS Duke Nukem game.

Speaking of Tomb Raider: That pic with the coat is such a Lara Croft pose. And that mouth!

ok, so, now that the initial excitement has died down a teensy bit, lets analyze this image.

so we know its an image of pigs flying, the front one has goggles on and is fatter. obvious I know, NOW, who is the copyright from on the bottom left? do you think George would just throw up someone elses image without getting permission? what is the name?

[WarThrash]

It probably means he's flying on a plane while eating some pork...

It might have just been him being cute.
The pigs might not mean anything, it could simply be a funny picture he wanted to share.

[WarThrash]

Well in all honestly if George just wanted to post something funny, he'd have probably posted more cat turd pictures.

Actually the top one is fatter

[ferran275]

yeah, you're right

anyway so I perused the guys site a bit, since I couldn't find the image he used in Google images, I thought that if he was just messing around he would have just thrown up a quick image he grabbed off Google. That's not the case.

It looks like he found this illustrator, either from working with him before or by looking for one, and either commissioned the image or asked if he could use it legally for Twitter. Says right on there 'copyright' and dont tell me after all this time that you think George would just grab an image from the internet without asking permission with HIS legal history

Now the question is, did he commission the image or ask permission?

I thinks its a bit interesting that the front pig has goggles on, SURE, you could say its because they're aviator pigs, but what if it WAS commissioned and George said "and throw some sunglasses or goggles on one of them, but dont be too obvious about it "

its possible.... think about it...

and to all the haters, I am passing time, I'm having trouble containing my brain in my skull right now and this wild speculation is helping!!!
