E3's greatest trailer: Duke Nukem Trilogy

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...

Dear Apogee,

Fire your marketing team, and maybe then will I forgive you.

Love,
Long time Duke fan.

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.

Wait, I swear this was on Youtube :O Did they just take the guys one and call it their own?

So I'm confused. What games are part of the trilogy?

Pilch 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?

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.
