E3 had some pretty cool trailers this year, but Duke Nukem Trilogy's definitely has to be our favorite. We went in hoping for a little bit of gameplay footage. Something to give an indication of what the game will actually look or play like, perhaps? Instead we sat through four minutes of the worst best trailer ever created. To be fair, we're going to be watching this trailer over and over for the rest of our lives. Whether the games actually come out or not, we're entertained. Enjoy the trailer!

this looks like pretty interesting gameplay... So, do I actually play as the flashing nuke symbol? Or is this some kind of innovative new rhythm-based interface, I wonder? In any case, color me intrigued!
btw, KILLER tunes, man...get me PUMPED!!!!

This easily wins the award for the most repititive and cheapest trailer ever created. You somehow feel like stuck in an endless-loop consisting of something like 8 sprites moving and spinning.
But the music is absolutely great, especially for fans of the series.

I wonder if they'll make an award dedicated to trailers like this that showed no effort what so ever...
If they did you would have to do pretty bad to top this one.

OMG. What a way to tell the gaming industry that you're no longer a gaming entity. The post linked to above leading over to Joystiq's main page is just total WIN.
3D realms was still relevant when? 2000? And they call E3 irrelevant...

That was friggin' awesome! Though it was about 4 minutes longer than it really had to be.
I think I could've summed that up with a still shot.. forget moving pictures.

So I'm confused. What games are part of the trilogy?
Posted: Jul 18th 2008 5:05AM (Unverified) said
are you sure it really is a trilogy??
Hats off to the guy told to prepare something for E3 with nothing to show. Well, at least they've got the logos done.
It's the funniest thing I've seen all day!

It's nice to see that they are still supporting that Megadeth tune.
But otherwise, wtf?

That's just sweet! Their marketing did great. Think a little: why they showed that mediocre trailer at E3?
Can't wait to play. But I think the gameplay and graphics will be just the same as the old Duke Nukem.

My eyes! They are literally burning after watching this trailer.
I'm gonna go wash my eyes with soap now, that should stop the pain.

I thought there was only one game and many versions for other consoles? anyway...this is a very depressing trailer, besides the music the only thing i liked.

Ok, when someone says "you could just show the title screen and they'd be happy" They didn't freaking mean it literally.

Wow that was terrible, it would have been nice if they would have told us the names of the games, or had shown us an atomic bomb exploding several times, or at the least shown us a still picture of Duke Nukem moving throughout various parts of the screen shooting his gun. Or maybe they could have had the symbol flashing several times on the screen, but like synchronized with some awesome music. That would have made a cool trailer! Oh wait...

judging from the trailer the game will definitely compete with GOW Chains of Olympus in the graphics department. The control system looks really intuitive i will probably end up picking this music rhythm game up day one.

Well, they did attract attention. At the end that's what they wanted, right?. They better be working too hard making it the best game ever since Shaq Fu so they had no time for the trailer.

This is why Duke Nukem is FOREVER, it does not reflect the title of the GAME, but this endless LOOP... too bad they didnt use Kid Rocks "Forever" tune. That would of been the greatest ad EVER.
Or maybe not...
