It looks like test footage :-\

I am still interested in the project, but it looks like a "Shoot, what do we have to show....show this it looks the most finished (just add fog in the background)"

Can't say I am jumping out of my seat though

Hey remember the 90's? That was basically the whole trailer from start to finish. The opening "credits", the cheap explosions, the Tank Girl inspired look, the "no fate" Terminator reference.

The actual game might be fun, but if it's treated like the trailer, I can only anticipate it being a boring, outdated slog.

As far the character goes we know: She has poor judgement in battle gear that has clearly affected her physical well-being in an adverse way. She is a horrible decorator. Her hand must move via magic because there are no mechanisms indicated that could move those finger joints (I know the Terminator look is more hardcore, but non-functioning design is still non-functioning design). She is bored. She is bored all the time. She also drinks and drives.

Showing off her character model looked like a 3d girl post on Deviantart. Everything she did, had nothing to with anything happening and served absolutely no purpose. It served only the camera.

Also, what was she looking around at after she stood up? What the hell was exploding? Was that her house? Did she blow up her house? She was mad enough to crack her glass but not to break it (a little anticlimactic)? Or would that have been to much work to animate? What the hell was she shooting at?

Yah, the trailer looks like garbage.

Gonna avoid this like I avoid anything with Rob Liefeld's name on it.

I guess it's still a step up from Duke Nukem even if it's kind of shit (that voice acting, bleh). Hopefully they will release some gameplay footage before the end of the decade.
It actually had the feel of an outtake. As though the actess said her line, realised how silly it was, and just wanted to give herself a laugh (I could be wrong - the whole bit could have been scripted. But she starts to sound more genuine and out of character as she goes on like she's just making fun of herself, so I'm thinking outtake). I've got a feeling the person enjoying this game the most will be the actress, laughing at everything she is told to say.

It probably doesn't bode well that the protagonist's hair is what I liked most about this trailer.

The bit with her riding on the motorcycle though...laughably bad

Also, how is 3D Realms still a thing, when so many good studios have had to shut down?

So is this supposed to be a parody of the Deus Ex trailer, or just a straight up rip-off? Parody usually has funny in it.

I just looked through the game's website. Now I'm really hyped. This game looks to be cheesy awesomeness.

She was a colonel, but combat was too boring, so she became a bomb disposal specialist. When she's not waiting for a new mission, she engages in her favorite hobby: STUNT MOTOCYCLE RIDING.

I'm going to laugh with this game a lot.

Powered by Unreal engine 2

OT: I tend not to give graphics to much importance if the story is good. Guess that might not be an option here

So... Aeon Flux with a bionic arm and bereft of wit, awareness of irony, or artistic merit, then?

...And apparently, if the post-trailer voice blurb is any indication, with the voice of a stereotypical 80's Valley Girl.

Maybe you'll surprise me, 3DRealms. But just now, I'm starting to think that the only thing worse than your taking a decade trying to make a game... is your not taking a decade trying to make a game.

I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Apogee, guys, but maybe it's time you packed it in.

Someone tell these guys the 90s are over already...
I think the explanation for the very existence of this launch, the "character" as well as the animation of said character can be summed up in one word: Awkward.
