Bombshell, Born From the Ashes of a Duke Nukem Lawsuit

This really sets up barely nothing about the game, Perhaps it has much to do with hoping to go viral than actually doing a by the numbers trailer.

That woman had dead, dead eyes.

Does the first part of this remind anyone else of the Deus Ex Human Revolution trailer? Except WAAAYY shittier?

Also, whoever was responsible for the general design seems to be stuck in the 90s. That chick looks something that would fit right in with Doom and Duke Nukem.

Is this for real?

Because this garbage trailer and even MORE garbage character design looks like it just jumped off the cover box art for a video card, circa 1998-2002.

Looks like that punk hacker lady from Watch Dogs has already gotten herself a spin-of series.

nope

I've got Ovaries of steeeeeeel.

I guess I'll have to admit it sometime: I'm a scumbag. I'm not opposed to the character design.

That said, as far as game goes, everything about it screamed 'poor' to me.

Where are the consumers who want to buy this product? 3D realms would only ever have a chance selling games to the hardcore segment to begin with, and take a look at the comments above, they aren't buying what 3D Realms is selling.

Let me guess, Bionic Commanda? A lame trailer from a lame company.

THIS

Wow, that looked terrible in every conceivable way. I wouldn't even buy this on a steam sale.

The random explosions are metaphors for global warming. They are behind her as she is driving away, she is America burning fossil fuels while ignoring 97.1% of scientific opinion.

Or the explosions are just there to make the trailer look cool, but really I think the political allegory is pretty obvious.

Wow, this was probably the single most lifeless game trailer I've seen in the last 10 years, could still be fun, but I will certainly not hold my breath for this one.

Well you gotta admit for a Unreal 2 Engine game this looks ok.

Great trailer. I like the part where nothing happens.

I feel like the intention of this trailer was that I'm now supposed to have a throbbing erection, but I don't. Somehow?

And that glass?! It's just clear. It's like a flat, clear cylinder.

Those animations looked so stiff and robotic.

Seriously was that an outtake or what? Because that sounded like an outtake.

Ok...

I didn't mind the look of the textures myself, but you're totally right about the animation. There is something "funky" about that walk cycle. Way too rigid.

I like the idea of a lady Duke Nukem though.

I thought you guys were joking but wow this is actually so awfully presented.

She's a cool looking lady Duke Nukem, but man, the animations are horrid. They remind me of early CG cutscenes like in Fire Warrior and stuff where people are super stilted.

What the fuck did I just watch? Glad to see 3D Realms continue to produce games with all the sensibility and skill of an 11-year-old.

I love how the bike doesn't even seem to be moving.

It kills me to say this, as I love Interceptor and think they've got an incredible future ahead of them, but this... this looks rough. Not in the crazy, fun way ROTT is rough, either. It's just a teaser, so I'm not going to definitively write it off (in fact, I kind of have to play it, because what the fuck?), but my hopes are not at all high.

Man it looks 12 years old.

Why is this trailer made to emulate a Nvidia tech demo.

Looking forward to playing this in 11 years when it's released.

Even in death, Duke Nukem Forever development continues! Hahaha!

I was meh until the killer cheesy guitar riff came at me, now I'm sold on the idea.



It does look old though! But that can be endearing..

my face was totally unprepared for that

This is the worst teaser I've ever seen.

This needs to be 100% more anime to even begin to work.

Why would I prepare my face? Is John Romero about to make me his bitch?

@psylah: yeah....this is one of the worst trailers for a videogame I have ever seen. Everything in this just looked half done. no way this is current gen...no way.

See it in 2025, after this voice actress completely regrets doing this game and has to deal with it like the Ghost of Christmas Past.

This is 0% badass and 100% sad.

Jesus christ...3D Realms...Are you like 12? Get out of here with that shit.

Did they revive a some writer and animator from 11 years ago? What is going on.

Yup, and if it was 1998 it would still feel overused and outdated! How about some Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness quotes while we're at it?

Is her husband in that arm?

Looking forward to this quick look

Everything about this looks cheap, old, stiff, amateur, and completely out of touch. I don't want to be too mean (but i'm about to be) but that looked like trash.

Man I've seen some terrible graphics and poorly animated bullcrap that's crammed way too far up its own ass before but geezus. Do the guys working on this not have any self awareness / talent whatsoever?

That character design is fucking atrocious, I'm in utter awe of just how bad it is. It's like a kid from the mid 90s scribbled a bunch of crap on some paper and they based a character off that.

Apparently everyone beat me to saying this looks like a hot reveal from the beginning of last gen. So instead I'll just bemoan the fact that the reveal was way too long. *Doing my civic internet duty*

The trailer here looks like a college student's demo reel. As a top down shooter at least it's something other than a FPS.

This just went from kind of dumb to tragic.

"Duke is the first white male action hero. No other character will ever have a chance knocking Duke off his particular pedestal, because it's better to be first than it is to be better (a key concept of positioning)."

Scott Miller will always be an important figure in the history of gaming for helping to embrace shareware and encourage Id's technical development via Apogee, but the dude just seems like kind of an idiot when it comes to the art stuff.

And apparently "Bombshell" was supposed to be another character in Duke Nukem Forever. Does anybody know if she even made it into that final game?

That was....oh man, that was terrible.

I look forward to not playing it in 15 years. I am not one to wish for the death of a development house, but anybody working at 3d Realms needs to cut and run.
