Looks fun I'll try it out.
It kind of feels like what was done in Tropic Thunder. I wonder if this kind of spoofing will be an on going trend hmmm.

Love the concept - washed up 80's game character being brought up to date, but I'm just not loving that main character design.

Could be good but I'd want to see some gameplay. Trying to make a game based on comedy and an old franchise doesn't always make success. So I'll reserve judgement till I see it.

Ugh... This was kinda cool at first, but I just can't stay interested.

this looks bad in a "we're focusing on everything but gameplay" kinda way
as if humor, and reciting gaming stereotypes could make a worthwhile game

They are putting work into viral advertising, right down to a cheesy fansite that has broken links.

I wasn't going to not bother with watching another generic shooter promo clip but I watched it and laughed. Now i'm interested.
D3Publisher got through to at least 1 jaded gamer.

3d realms totally paid these guys to come out with this so that the community could move on from duke--only then, when the legend is laid to rest will it rise again.
Like the Dunedain (disclaimer: I barely remember what the dunedain were, or if they rose again, or what, and I'm not responsible for any image of dunedain showering bearded dwarfette strippers with gold coins, or however tolkein envisioned it; there's probably an appendix in the silmarillion somewhere about no-contact laws or history of liquor licenses and burlesque establishments from Brii to Murkwood--Shelob probably has some extensive backstory of getting tips stuffed in her carapace while grinding on balrogs in the times before the fall of numenor... or whatever)

Sweet idea and love the humor. Its sounds different better than Duke Nukem.

Looked funny. I'm holding off judgment until I see gameplay.

I am glad someone is going to spoof all the "serious" shooters out there. This game could be fun.

well, color me cautiously interested. There's certainly a lot of work going into this thing's backstory.

A good sense of humor can improve ANY shooter.

That was pretty funny. I hope the gameplay can live up to the humor. Though if it doesn't the irony will be delicious.

He looks awfully familiar...say, has anyone ever seen Matt Hazard and Brian Urlacher in the same place? Hmmm...
Matt Hazard IS Brian Urlacher! Clever disquise, Matt, but you tipped your hand by continuing to try and murder people on the field.

Has anybody been the the website? Its hilarious. Like a bad geocities site straight out of the mid 90s.

@belo: Checked it out after reading your comment, very funny stuff. The attention to detail and number of specific game parodies is very impressive. If as much care is put into the game itself it should be pretty entertaining, at least.

@Llost: Not sure if you missed it, but this is a fake franchise, Matt Hazard is a new creation.

I'm digging it. Good sense of humor and nice graphics from what we've seen - if gameplay is decent, this'll be a hit with FPS fans.

@Mister_Jack: True. This is also pretty innovative when it comes to shooters. The last big innovation was what? A better cover system lol.
