Well, half of the comments here are that this trailer is a parody of the Dead Island trailer, so you may be in the right place...

It's less funny than it is visualizing what this game will be. The reference to Dead Island is pretty funny along with the music. But this game obviously is just nonsense. There are games that don't take themselves too seriously, but they are still set up in a serious manner. This just seems dumb. Actual, dumb greatness.

@mlarrabee: I understand your sentiment, but I think this is the wrong battle. I'm pretty good at avoiding the internet bullshit you speak of, but either way this trailer worked for me.

Realising the first shot was setting up a Dead Island parody, followed by a jarring cut of bad physics was enough to have me laughing (a rare feat, I'll add).

No battle; I'm just amazed so many people are excited for what appears in every respect to be a flimsy cash-in on what was popular six-to-eight months ago. But it's kind of like being on a forum board with a group who is raving about the movie Grown Ups: at some point you have to just leave people to what they enjoy, suckers or no.

SO LEAVE US TO ENJOY GOAT SIMULATOR, ALREADY.

Someone takes video games a bit too seriously. This game looks hilariously dumb in a so bad its good kind of way to me. That's all I need. Unless I find out it retails at like 40$ , assuming 20 or under. Certainly into just playing something fucking stupid to have some fun with for that price.

It's surprising how few people seem to have realized that this is a parody of the first Dead Island trailer.

I'm surprised by how many people feel the need to say it. We all get the joke, that's why it's funny. You don't need to shout "HEY I GET THAT REFERENCE!!!" to be laughing along to it.

Yes you are. As a result you have failed the yearly internet test and your internet access will be disconnected shortly. You can re-apply in 3 months but the evaluation will cost $139.99.

@mlarrabee: This was never meant to see the light of day. The devs made this as part of a game jam, released a YouTube video with absolutely no intention of any kind of release. The subsequent reaction and pleas from people is what spurred this to happen - far from the direct result of barely putting in effort and selling it under the guise of 'randumb' as a cash in. (Like a lot of actual simulator shovelware on Steam.)

side note: Coffee stain studios also made sanctum, one of the lead artists on Sanctum (Johan Wahlback) worked on Bloodline Champions, Bloodline Champions was made by Stunlock Studios, and the last time we heard from them Stunlock Studios was working on a Dead Island Moba.

So there is a connection between Coffee Stain studios and Dead Island.
