Duke Nukem Trilogy trailer redefines awesome
91
Unfortunately, the redefinition is "something that sucks." We give credit to Apogee and 3D Realms for releasing a Duke Nukem Trilogy trailer without pre-rendered footage. In fact, it doesn't have any footage. Instead, you get flashing logos, people in gas masks, rawking metal guitar and a close-up of Duke's crotch (which we've spoiled in the image above -- and no, not this one). Educate yourself in the video, tucked safely away after the break.

Boy, does THAT suck. What on earth do they hope to achieve by releasing this?

@Mobius: Spring Time for Hitler is one of the most fucking hilarious things I've ever seen. And I hate musicals in general but this one rocked.

yeah, they could have accomplished it in about four seconds. I kept on watching (about half-way) waiting for the punchline.

You gotta have Balls of Steel to release a "trailer" like that.

Okay, since this NEEDS to be a joke....
How many shots were fired during the video?
How many different gas mask pictures are there?
How many times did they flash that one gasmask guy at the end?
Where was the random WWII looking background picture taken?
How many different sound effects/voice clips were used?
How many seconds in Adobe Premiere did this take to make?
Why was the music the best part?

Awesome! Now we've got four vapourware Duke titles!

I thought there were only two original Duke Nukem games coming, where does this "trilogy" come from? I assume their making a brand new one to go along with it?
Either way, I'd honestly rather play Duke Nukem 3D, if they ever get round to releasing that on XBLA.

You know, if they would actually release something substantial I could laugh at this stuff all day long. But instead these "developers" put out this nonsense and for some reason they keep getting funding. So it may be the campiest thing I've seen all day, but in context it's just sad.

In context, this shit tosses dynamite into your brain and laughs while you scream for help then licks the blood off the floor after you become nothing but red paint and flesh chunks.

Joking aside, I'm fairly certain a trailer like this has never been done for that long. 5 minutes of logo. It's actually really freggin clever.

is this some kind of joke? This trailer is shockingly bad.

No,
It's not a joke. They're being 100 percent serious.
I'm also being 100 percent serious when I say that I think you're a smart and observant person.

Now we know why DNF is taking so long, they want to make trailers with what look like cardboard cutouts and explosions to wanna be hard rock guitar.

Lijik,
You know, it's been so damn long since DN3D released that an entire new generation of whining internet kiddies have had time to (sort of) grow up, they just don't know what the DN theme song sounds like because they've never heard it. You can't even run DN3D anymore under a modern OS, and besides, they probably wouldn't like the graphics.
All they know about the game is it's a 10+ year long running internet joke these days.

One of those gasmaskers looks kind of like the cover of Let It Enfold You Deluxe Edition.

Now if they only thought to include the peanut-butter jelly banana it may have been a cooler trailer. Too bad, they missed a golden opportunity...
