Maybe on Earth. Maybe in the Future.

Quite possibly the best trailer ever to show absolutely NOTHING.

I KNEW what this was as soon as I saw the title.
if you can see this, i apologize for the above tweet, i was young and stupid and had nothing of value to say. please support lgbtq rights and listen to women's voices. that's all that really matters now. the right is evil, and should be opposed. thanks.

My coworker showed me this the other day. We were wondering how anyone thought this was even remotely worth putting out and how much money did they earn for making it?

I feel bad for the marketing department tasked with making that.
"We need an ad for our new video game."
"Great! Just give us some gameplay footage, and we'll--"
"There's no footage."
"Cutscenes? That usually looks better than the game anyway..."
"No video at all."
"Okay... well, it's not as impressive, but we could at least take some screenshots and play a little slideshow over music for a little while..."
"There aren't any screenshots."
"Uh... promotional art?"
"Yes, we have that! We'll be providing it to you."
"Whew! Great! Okay. So we show a sequence of promotional images, all fading into each other, over music..."
"Oh, there's only one piece of artwork."
"Only one?"
"Only one. But, I have good news!"
"I'm being Punk'd?"
"Nope! We have four logos you can also use. Plus, here's five bucks to get one piece of stock footage. We'd like it to be a big explosion of some kind."
"Oh... wow... okay. So we've got one piece of artwork, four logos, and an explosion. Well, I guess with music, we can find some way to pad that out to 15 seconds..."
"It needs to be three minutes and forty-five seconds long."
*Gunshot*

Its sad. Duke Nukem 3D was one of the first shooters before the genre of "Shooter" even existed outside of Doom and Wolfenstein.
It was the first and only shooter I ever truly liked and I even when back and played the dopey little side scrolling Duke Nukem 1 and 2 games.
To think this 'joke' that we'd be getting a new game after over a decade is just.. I dunno.
Nice to hear an update of the old theme though.

I knew what it was for, but halfway through, I figured it was just a joke and stopped watching.
Then I find out it's the actual trailer. These people are geniuses.

Is this ALL they've done since 1997? Seriously, 11 years and this is as far as they've gotten?

Well, after finally sticking through the whole thing, I can safely say that 3D Realms are the greatest trolls in the publishing community.
