Dead Island 2 fans got absolutely baited by Goat Simulator 3's trailer

gamesradar.com:

A whole lot of Dead Island 2 fans got baited by one particular trailer at yesterday's Summer Game Fest showcase.

That trailer would be for Goat Simulator 3, the latest game in the latest chaos-causing series. You can see the trailer just below, which begins with a harmless character preparing to set out on a nice run, but ends up with them getting ambushed by a pack of goats as the whole scene descends into carnage.

The reason a lot of people thought this was a Dead Island 2 trailer is because it begins exactly like one from eight whole years ago. You can check out the full trailer that the new Goat Simulator 3 one was clearly riffing off just below, beginning with a person setting out on a jog, and then the world being overrun by zombies.

Yep, there's certainly similarities between the two trailers. So much so, in fact, that many Dead Island 2 fans actually thought they were watching a brand new trailer for the long-awaited horror sequel, including the people commenting on the subreddit post just below from a Dead Island-dedicated group. None of that was helped, of course, by host Geoff Keighley introducing the trailer as a return to a long-dormant franchise, and instructing fans to not get bitten by its antagonists. That's good advice for dealing with goats, but it's certainly a little more prescient in a zombie outbreak.

And hey, it's not just fans that got completely baited by the new Goat Simulator 3 trailer, as you can see just below. Dead Island 2 might've been in development for close to a decade at this point, but it isn't quite ready to unveil a new trailer or any information just yet.
