Duke Nukem Trilogy Trailer

[Nessus]

Yeesh, that wasn't even good for a fan effort.

But, I guess that's what happens when you only have five art assets to work with, and 4 minutes of time to fill up.

I will give them some credit for using Vertexguy's Grabbag cover, though.

Maybe - but did they ask him to use it?? It is still his arrangement??

I don't buy it.

All that was meant to be is a simple visual announcement. Thats all. Nothing special. Sure beats a black and white newspaper clip and way more effective. The trailer obviously wasn't designed to impress everyone, it was to inform everyone in a simple, yet creative way. They didn't fail. You know about it now, don't you?
Case closed.

Even the Apogge website is quite ugly. If the goal was to make it nostalgic, then I have to say they failed in every way. It looks like a mess of photoshop filters.

Okay, its a job for us to take over Apogee and make it what it should be.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It just looks wrong...

"It's just that we view E3 as irrelevant nowadays. In fact, I wasn't even aware it was coming up."

Said by Scott Miller in late June. Pretty obvious troll trailer for an otherwise terrible E3.

Scott miller has nothing to do with the trailer, at all. Nor 3dRealms.

But a 12 year old with Windows movie maker did

[Angelo86]

is not a trailer, is a disgusting. seems created by a child 5 years! is an insult to the fans of Duke

[Western Shinobi]

You know what, I'm going to put in an application for Apogee, if they do need some employees! Seriously though...

[Needle]

That's it, 3DRealms. You're beaten. There's nothing you can ever do to top this. It took you ten long years to get Duke where he is now, but this guys outdid you tenfold in little more than 4 minutes. Turn off your computers and go home now.

Case closed.

To inform about what? About WHAT?
Not about the existence of Duke Nukem Trilogy, since we were already informed about its existence. Not about the graphics and/or gameplay of Duke Nukem Trilogy, since they didn't show any. They could've shown four minutes of Goatse, and it would've been exactly the same. And stealing VertexGuy's Grabbag cover was just pathetic.

And how do you know Apogee stole it? Until you have proof please refrain from making comments like this. I don't think it is too far fetched to believe that the new apogee asked if they could use it. I'm sure Vertex Guy would have gladly let them use his cover.

He posts here. Lets ask him

[Mr. Crow]

Rofl, I can't stop laughing. Well, at least the music was incredible!

[Berntsen]

I'm... pretty sure this is some sort of joke.

Best part: the zoom in on Duke's crotch.

Yeah.

[stumppy84]

WOW!!! THAT WAS BAD!!!

That wasn't real was it???

[ryche]

OMG.....what the hell was that!


Looked like some 10yr old decided to try out Windows Movie Maker .

This thread should be linked at at the wiki entry of "Bandwagon jumping"

[Steve]

It's the most viewed trailer on gametrailers.com. I think the trailer has done its job. I have no doubt people will be interested in these games as the trailer is absolute shit. The worst. Kinda smart, actually

Its just a poor and sloppy execuse for an "explosive" unveiling. If they dont have any media, something shorter and to the point (possibly even more generally directed to Apogee) would have worked just fine.

Newsflash: the internet makes people irrational and gullible. I swear, you're all making this out to be substantially more than it is.

It's OBVIOUSLY a joke. Do you really think they'd release something this silly on ACCIDENT? And as for Altered Reality's claim that "everybody already knew about the game," no, you're dead wrong. We knew about it because we're forumgoers and someone posted an article. NOBODY ELSE IN THE GAMING WORLD KNEW ABOUT IT.

Maybe it was their failure and wanted(hoped is better) people to think the way you say it.

Sure, we here expect better and I am one who knew little about it untill the trailer. Seems to me it was better receved outside this site by kids who are more excited to see new games coming out for their devices and care little about making a fuss over a trailer. Not to mention accusing someone of stealing with no proof whatsoever! That is really pathetic! Talk is cheap. And when you don't know what your talking about, it's worthless. Maybe if you think 'outside' this site, you might get the big picture and realize the target audience for that trailer goes way beyond your little world. When you say "we", "we were already informed about it's existence" Who's "we"? Who the hell is we?!! You? Some members of this site? According to your closed minded conclusion, everyone knows! Right? Reality check! No business of any kind, anywhere could survive with that primitive way of thinking. The entire World Wide Web is out there. (in case you didn't know.) Throwing that trailer out there has the potential to reach countless millions, especially the kids who buy and play games. At the very least, to anyone not knowing of Duke Nukem or Apogee's existence untill now. The only thing that I can agree with is it was 3 min too long.

[Vinsane]

I take that back about it being too long...why chop and cut the song? It friggin rocks!
Hey, so Apogee had only x amount of stuff to show so they repeated it. And I think that was a cool thing to do to preserve VertexGuy's Grabbag cover. I know what I'd say if I was him, "Yea, sure you can use it, under one condition...play the entire song, un-cut!"

Also I don't get the people sitting through the whole thing "because something might appear"...I mean DUH DUH DUH it repeated the same logos like 3 times in the first minute, how can you really expect to see anything more than that?

You don't seem to hang around in the same internet than I do, because everywhere I looked people were all over this with spiteful glee. And the best part is that everyone automatically assumes it's 3DRealms who threw up this piece of vomit.

But then, maybe I just don't get it and this is some sort of masterful marketing plan.

1. Shit all over the Duke Nukem IP by releasing the worst trailer in the history of trailers.
2. Become the laughing stock of the internet.
3. ????
4. Profit!

[Zorgblub]

That was pure awesomeness ! You really got to have balls of steel to release such a trailer

If we would replace Duke with Mario, Grabbage with the Mario theme and have 3 upcoming Mario game names flashing around like the 3 duke titles, would it still be hilarious?

[KaiserSoze]

I honestly never thought anything could beat the DNF 2001 trailer but this did it. Tons of awesome!

He's not talking about the trailer, he's talking just about the press release days before it. And you prove his point that the trailer indeed was being talked about.

Excellent! Time for step three, Apogee.

[XTHX2]

3. ????

The step of Apogee's mysterious plan... Let's see what kind of shock will it be.

Nothing in that trailer indicates that they can do anything right, so...
However, if VertexGuy posts here and says he gave them permission to use his rendition, I'll be glad to be proven wrong.

Apogee\3D Realms own the song anyway. Isn't that enough to just use it at will

But VertexGuy made the cover, so doesn't that make it his work?
