Bombshell, Born From the Ashes of a Duke Nukem Lawsuit

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.

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

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.

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

THIS

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

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.

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.

I've got Ovaries of steeeeeeel.

nope

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

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.

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.

That woman had dead, dead eyes.

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.

Speaking of 2002. That's when this game was originally announced. Scott Miller was happy chatting about it to Gama all the way back then, as reported here.

12 years. I'm not sure there's any evidence that any of the design/ethos has been updated since.

The animation is just tragic.

Deus Ex and Terminator, huh? Ok.

"Hey Deus Ex: HR had a great trailer, put some of that in! Hey, Terminator 2 was cool, put some of that in!"

The 3D Realms development process remains unchanged.

Ahahaha that's what that was. It's chasing her as she drives into the void.

I like her hair. But I don't wanna twin stick shooter :/

OMG

Aight so the first half of this trailer is a ripoff of a Deus Ex HR trailer, where Adam Jensen cracks a glass of liquor with his robot-arm while watching the news and then we have Terminator Judgment Day. Also, the character looks like a Skyrim modder's nightmarish creation.

I like her, she's cool. The isometric viewpoint is a bit off a turnoff though. Shooters like that all feel a bit samey to me.

This is honestly one of the worst trailers I've ever seen. From the opening minute and a half of nothing, to the dead eyes, to the wooden animation, to the looping explosions... hell, when she points the shotgun at the screen you can actually see the gun-rack she picked it up from on the left hand side. Amateurish as shit

That is one of the dumbest character designs I have ever seen.

What was that dialog at the end?

This is so awful, i love it!

It is actually a 3rd person isometric, twin stick shooter. Here are some screens:

Those pictures are so small. The ones on their site are big and actually look pretty good.

Super, more shit no one wants. Good luck 3drealms.

As someone who makes a living making video game trailers, this shit blows my mind on how bad it its. Still images, a radio spot, heck even a gif would have been better. 3:30 of pure hot shit.

Hey guys, we've got this one character model!

Honestly, seems pretty familiar...

EDIT: @flacracker: Oops, should of reloaded the page!

Aw, man. I would've absolutely played this game until I saw that it was just a fucking isometric shooter.

I loved Duke Nukem Forever for just how much it didn't give a shit.

Being the guys who worked on Duke Nukem Forever for all that time 3D Realms are going to have to prove to people that they actually know how to make something of quality in the modern games industry and this video doesn't remotely convey that. I mean obviously there's no way to pass actual judgement on their game, but this character design, graphical quality, and generally poorly conceived trailer isn't exactly going to convince people that they have their shit together. You start to wonder why this thing exists if all they have to show is a few character models and explosion effects sat in an endless black sandbox.

That's not a trailer. That's like... a model viewer clip or something. Yeesh.

At least the behind the scenes voice-over stuff at the end was entertaining, but even there the juxtaposition between reading the dialogue and just goofing around bums me out.

Oh man...

President Hillary Rodham Eyepatch

Ummm.....No....Just No

That told me nothing about the game, yet everything I need to know.

One of the worst game trailers I've ever seen.

Ok... that was monumentally awful.

Hey guys! The 90's are back! Specifically, they're back with the intention of murdering us!

@brianp: Bethesda to drop lawsuit only to have a new one filed the same day by James Cameron.

The trailer reminds me a lot of this one:

Oh...OH. Oh, no...t-this looks bad...like really bad. I daresay borderline "Ride to Hell" bad. I would hope it turns out to be a good game, but...holy shit.

Huh. I don't know. Interceptor's Rise of the Triad reboot was fantastic, but this was just weird.

Exposed mechanical arm, "no fate", riding on a motorcycle with a shotgun. Anything else they feel like ripping off from Terminator 2?

Finally a female protagonist for everyone! Move over Lara Croft you've met your match.

That character design is great...

for the box of a graphics card from 2002.

Really though, how the fuck can you make a metal bikini wearin' cyborg armed chopper ridin' shotgun totin' lady as excruciatingly boring as that teaser was?! Something is wrong.

ummm..... I'm going to pretend this doesn't exist.

yup, that feels better.
