Duke Nukem Teaser Trash
December 20th, 2007
If you haven’t heard there’s been a new trailer released for the long overdue Duke Nukem Forever game. You can watch it here.
Before I get started, I just want to freshen your memories of this game. Duke Nukem Forever is set to be the latest installment of the Duke Nukem franchise. This game is infamous for its long delays, you see back in 1997 this game was announced, at E3 2001 a trailer featuring in game footage was released and then a few year ago there were a few issues with switching to the Unreal engine. But now the game is hopefully on track for an actual release.
Now if you followed the link and watched the trailer, you might be thinking what I thought after I saw the trailer: “Damn, this looks kinda crap”. I just can’t get over how terrible the game looks. Now I’m no graphics whore but I do aprciate quality graphics and this game looks to have some serious issues. The whole teaser reaks of an earlier PSone FMV.
When watching the video you should keep in mind than even though its a teaser, the snippets of enemies are taken from within the game. We’ve also been told to disregard all of the other video released for Duke Nukem Forever which absolutely sucks as the E3 2001 trailer was fantastic and got me so pumped for this game. Such a pity. I guess we have the next gameplay trailer to look forward to. I seriously hope that this game lives up to its hype and can prove me wrong.
What do you guys think of the trailer? Bad ass or just pathetic?
GreenPeace Advertisement against Video Game Consoles
December 14th, 2007
You might have heard recently about GreenPeace and their research into the effect that video game consoles have on the environment. Basically the key factor came down to the amount of toxic elements inside the console, which can’t be recycled.
Now its all well and good for them to do some research but they recently released an advertisement trying to warn people about these toxics elements. I’m not sre what the solution is meant to be: perster the companies or don’t buy games? The advertisement contains 3D characterizations of Mario, Master Chief and Kratos making them look like a bunch of idiot bafoons (probably modelled after the people that decided to launch such an add 
). Whats up with the mushroom coming out of Mario’s ass. This (as well as other comments and actions made by the poorly made 3 models) are completely immature. Take a look to see what I mean:
Unfortunately I’ve had to remove the player for this trailer because Firefox can’t comply with basic web standards and abliterates the the site’s design when the player is present. Sorry.
This really is a low blow. Why can’t GreenPeace go about this in a different way and be a bit more mature about it. And its a bit too late to be complaining now anyways, why didn’t they go to the companies before they made these consoles and offer suggestions? This would actually help fix the problem much like what has been going on in the electrical industry with companies like Panasonic and Sony.
Let me know what you think.
