I once stated, that the trailer for the original DI is actually one of my most favorite zombie movies ever, even though it’s obviously quite short. The DI: Riptide trailer did not so much for me, but the DI2 trailer again is just frickin hilarious. Really, really well made!
I also think this trailer is much more representativ of the actual game, than the trailer from the original one was.
I’ll just point out that the guy has muscle implants & wig, that kind of went over my head the first time I saw it.
I’ve also heard that the people that make these vids are a different studio to the people that make the game and that this game has been made by a different studio than the previous DI. I have no source for these claims it’s just what I reddit.

Well, the wig was maybe not quite realistic*, but I’ve seen guys like this that had muscle implants. And ya, they are a different studio, than the guys making the actual game. Though I don’t know if they are, or are not, the same studio, that made the previous trailers.
The trailer itself looks pretty elaborate, I don’t think, that there are many dev studios out there, that could produce such a trailer for their own game. Though they could ofc give the trailer-guys some specific artistic advice; in terms of story, style and tone, etc…

Thx for link/film.
One thing is for sure, DI1 & DI2 set new standards for trailers.

Makes me kind of sick to watch it tbh.
Techland made Dead Island and Riptide DLC and afaik Yager Development work on DI2 (UE4 engine).
BTW, the first Dead Island is utilizing Techland’s Chrome Engine. Original creators now work on Dying Light:
