3D Realms’ Bombshell Goes Gold

[Dohc-WP]

3D Realms’ Bombshell has finally gone gold, thus ending any more jokes of another delayed 3D Realms game (which are apparently so original in this day and age according to the studio).

Developed along with Interceptor Entertainment, Bombshell is an isometric shooter which features aliens, destructive weapons and an evil scientist. 3D Realms has ensured that the game is locked in for a January 29th release on PC. It will retail for $34.99 for the standard edition and $39.99 for the Digital Deluxe Edition, the latter including early beta access to the Build Engine prequel, digital artbook, world map overviews and the official soundtrack.

Bombshell will be heading to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 as well though a release date for both these platforms has yet to be revealed.

Yes you are, it's got an interesting history with them originally trying to release it under that *ahem* other IP they sold... was quite interesting. So they had to make up a new IP.

Possibly, but I'm sure there are others.

It's probably mostly people that were following Duke Nukem Forever's development from the start that knows of her. She was originally shown to be something like a sidekick for Duke Nukem way back in the late 90's

They did pretty much. This hardly looks like a AAA game.

its surprising how a company like this can survive without releasing anything in years and then other companies release one shit game and then things go belly up for them.

[Grievous]

Yes you are.

No he isn't. I have also never heard of this game. I didn't even know 3D realms made games anymore, after their last disaster.

Yeah! you tell'em

 

[Grievous]

Yeah! you tell'em

Us know nothings have to stand together!

Seems like it could be fun, wouldn't call it a AAA game, also seems a bit pricey at $34.99 ? Its like R580 for an isometric shooter

 

[Grievous]

After watching some gameplay vids, it looks a little dated to me. Agree, a little expensive at R580.

No ZAR pricing on the Steam store for it. May be a case of "no pricing yet", but with only a week before release, seems they don't need our cash.

I wish 3D Realms can pull an inXile and come back with awesome games....
