Bombshell, Born From the Ashes of a Duke Nukem Lawsuit

Even though it's halfway through May, I thought this was an April Fools joke.

The 3D realms guys show off that they're really getting too old for this shit.

If Jen St. Jen doesn't do Bombshell's voice then I'm not buying.

I feel like I'm watching an old ATI Radeon 9000 Series commercial or something.

None of that seems exciting.

She kinda looks like pornstar Christy Mack

am I in 1990?

lol, the bike is standing still, and the wheels are spinning.
At the shot where she aims the shotgun at you, you can still see the weapon-rack she picked it up from blurred out in the background.

that's... strange.

@brianp: The hand on her robo arm is exactly ripped off from the T-800 Endoskeleton. The shoulder looked pretty close, too, with some bullshit armor slapped on that rotates for some inexplicable reason.

Good on 3D Realms for not going quietly into the night, I guess?

What happened to Adam Jensen? Oh wait it's just a student project to remake this trailer.

Wizards.

Oh man... I feel twin stick shooters are the most uninteresting games...

I'm not trying to bash anyone that actually like these types of games, in any sense. It's just not for me.

I don't expect the game to be released that soon. However, the regrets will be there.

No part of this looks interesting.

With that said, I move on to the real issue. How in the Biblical Hell is 3D Realms still a thing? Seriously?

Take a drink every time is pans past her chest.

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.

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

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?

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.

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*

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.

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.

Looking forward to this quick look

Is her husband in that arm?

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?

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

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

This is 0% badass and 100% sad.

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.

@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.

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

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

This is the worst teaser I've ever seen.

my face was totally unprepared for that

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..

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

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

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

Man it looks 12 years old.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Ok...

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

Those animations looked so stiff and robotic.
