This doesn't look half bad! Considerig the first trailer, this is way more than what I expected of the game.

Won't be playing this for the story anyway so I don't think that's going to be an issue at all. Just give me a good variety of enemies to gun down with a good variety of weapons to use, throw in a couple of unique and challenging boss fights, and I'd gladly pay money for the game.

This doesn't look all that bad, on the other hand I have been sold pretty dire games by virtue of trailers having stuff exploding.

This doesn't look nearly as awful as the first trailer suggested.

They should probably have waited until now before showing anything about it. That previous trailer probably didn't do them any good at all, but at the very least this looks somewhat promising. Can't say it's a genre I've ever been all that into, but it doesn't look like a less than average one of those games at least.

"Here's a look at the next Interceptor/3D Realms game. It's... reall weird to say "3D Realms" in 2015, especially since it's not really the same company."

Same can be said for anything with the Atari emblem, or Sega for that matter.

Man I thought for sure this game was dead and it still looks just as bad as it did before. What is with the super dated like early unreal engine look it has. Everything is super glowy and grimey and awful. I thought all devs had moved on from that kind of thing.

I thought this was supposed to be an FPS?

Much better than the trailer we saw before, though that brings this more into "a little worse than the usual forgettable" territory.

Why does this look like a mod for Too Human?

Seriously, the perspective, the gameplay, even the art style and poly count is all fiercely reminiscent.

Looks pretty interesting. Might be good.

Wonder why they changed the look, although this does look a bit better.

Despite laughing out loud at that first trailer and rolling my eyes at the beginning of this, I think I went completely through the looking glass at some point before this video ended and am actually thinking this.... doesn't really look THAT.... bad...? I think I'm crazy.

All of the visuals in the cutscenes and character designs look straight out of a mid-90s CG cutscene, it practically comes off as a throwback. Maybe this is all intentional???

I was not expecting an isometric dual stick shooter based on the last trailer. They also toned down how much skin she is showing and simplified her hand and designed it to no longer look exactly like The Terminator hand.

This could be decent like those recent Lara Croft games but currently it feels quite dated. If this project did not have the Duke Nukem connection it would just disappear into the background of games coverage like all those other Steam titles that kinda look like this game.

Is this really the first game to be called "Bombshell"? Seems that name should be taken by now.

They really hung on to the title card shot, didn't they?

Could be fun, but it looks generic as all get out.

@james_hayward: But the video's only 1:5oooooh I get it! But yeah this doesn't look that interesting to me. I was super expecting the fuse on the Bombshell logo to burn down and explode into the release date...I'm disappointed and the game isn't even out.

Aw, I almost thought they were going to go with a more deliberate game before seeing the mindless shooting. Really exploit your greater view and orientation control to make for a tough, deliberate game that punishes mistakes, instead of having a "difficulty" slider that is simply moving numbers around. I don't want to say it, but... Dark Soulsesque.

This market is so saturated that you could pick pretty much any style of game play and find a classic title that's cheaper and better. This looks like Shadowgrounds, and Shadowgrounds: Survivor's pretty damned neat and constantly on sale. And there's that free multiplayer game Valve put out that looked good. But there's nothing I know of in the "isometric" scene that dials it back and emphasizes dynamic interaction with an enemy instead of just keeping them away from you.

The aesthetic seems appropriate for a developer that peaked in the mid 90s.

Something about the choice of colour and high dynamic range makes this hard for me to look at. Like they wanted it to really "pop" off the screen, but when everything pops it gets too busy and looks like bleurgh.

It makes me think of Bulletstorm, and a fair number of other games. It's actually kind of hard to see anything outside of the stages, because it's all a flattened mess of oversaturated shards of colours. Visual design should complement game play, and reducing the illusion of depth is not good for that at all.

to be fair, this trailer is infinitely more watchable than that first one:

The first trailer was more memorable, but in that case it wasn't a good thing. A step up from there at least, even if it does look terribly stilted and with all the humour and design sensibilities of that last Duke Nukem.

Hmm, I think it actually looks fun. I like the visuals a lot. Could do without the horrible VO's though.
