Bombshell Bounces On To PS4 And PC Next Year

Let’s not beat about the bush, this reveal trailer for Bombshell mostly consists of lingering camera pans over our titular (pun intended) heroine.

Let us also assume the impractical clothing and excessive explosions are meant to be social commentary on games such as Duke Nukem (more of that in a moment), along with her immovable hair. God knows how much hair gel she used to get that to stay rock solid.

The screenshots are a bit more helpful and show a top down shooter with plenty of colour and dragon creatures to shoot. You play as Bomb Disposal Specialist turned mercenary for hire, Shelly “Bombshell” Harrison and will battle across the dying world of Kyrron as it is consumed by its neighboring sun.

The game is being created by 3D Realms and Interceptor, the team behind the Duke Nukem game that is subject to an on-going lawsuit. Bombshell’s website explains she dislikes “Bubble gum, sunglasses, blonde hair” – remind you of anyone?

The game will launch on PS4 and PC early next year.

  1. Those implants must have cost her an arm and a leg. Literally! :-)

  2. Bombshell’s website explains she dislikes “Bubble gum, sunglasses, blonde hair” – remind you of anyone?
    Yeah, Sandra from the accounts department.

  3. Let’s hope that by the release date in 2015 that they fix up the animation so that her foot doesn’t clip through the motorbike seat when she mounts it. I presume the artists are a little embarrassed at the stilted movements.

    • Yeah, I might have been slightly interested in the prospect of this game if the animation hadn’t looked so poor.

  4. Oh my, that looks 90s-pre-rendered-cutscene-for-a-PS1-game bad.

  5. The environments look like they’re straight out of DK Forever.

    I do like a top down shooter. (just realised that sounds a bit innuendo-ey)

  6. Is it me or does the lead character look like the character from Deus Ex HR?

  7. Shrapnel, Kickback…. Transformers right?
    *googles….*
    Ah, insecticons! Couldn’t remember their names, but seeing them made some bells way back in my head cling. Man, I wanna watch G1 again now.
