Available today via the first access club. Anyone else jumping on this new idea of a demo before release.
It'll never catch on you know![]()
Dont suppose any one has a spare fac key. the steam pre-order does not come with one
EDIT : or fancy swapping for a copy of portal
You can get the demo if you bought the GOTY of Borderlands. Thing is though I got Borderlands day of release on PS3 so no demo for me. But it does have a sexy hologramatic embossed sleeve which is sweet.
Its about time they went back to actually releasing demos before something is released, get the masses interested. Would work so well with so many different titles, Two Worlds 2 for example and Drakensang RoT, not big sellers as people dont want to invest in games like this from just reading a few reviews, they want to get hands on.
Never know, might become the norm again.
The demo sucks.
And I don't mean that in a Duke Nukem way![]()
I kind of wish I was 14 again and found this kind of stuff funny, but there's just nothing that really grabs you about it. It plays and looks a lot like half-life 2, has the same Duke environment interaction that DN3D had.. and that's kind of it.
Not sure about the Steam version, I got it for the PS3 as my PC wasnt up to spec and still isnt. However, new build is happening within the next 2 weeks and its going to run anything I throw at it, spending £1000 on this so should be good for a few year.
Heres where the system reqs for Duke are going to be quite low with it being in development for the last 10 year or so, dig out the old Pentium with a voodoo accelerator!
Not really well informed about it (somehow lost interest during development) but I thought they started from scratch only using some of the ideas/content, did they actually build on any of the previous work?
That would be somehow ironic seeing how they spent most of the 10 scrapping whatever work they manage to do.
How do i donwload it? The First Access club is under the DLC tab when i right click on Borderlands...
Edit: For the un-initiated, you have to copy and paste your D00k code from Steam into the official Duke Nukem First Access page, you then get another key which is the key you activate on Steam.

Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
disappointed is what i felt when i played this demo.. average graphics, almost as bad as cod and it just doesnt seem like a pc game anymore, theirs auto aim in the menu lol and i can run it max graphics with aa with extremely playable fps.
Is the Demo the E3 demo from last year? if it isnt im seriously considering canceling my balls of steel edition... such a let down from a flipping epic series![]()
I dont get why people are surprised about the graphics on this it's a console game so limited by consoles, As was crysis 2 and every other game thats come out this year bar a couple. Until the next Gen of consoles come Graphics will stagnate as the market is in console games.
It's a duke nukem game loads of cheese ropey round the edges no deep and meaningful story just a stupid shoot em up. not cancelling my pre order its exactly what i expected.
And luckily auto aim can be disabled
had better be worth it, we would have had Borderlands 2 by now if they hadn't got sidetracked on this.
needing to have purchased Borderlands to get the demo would be taking the wee-wee, but needing to have the GOTY edition is appalling.
