Dead Island Riptide: Zombie Bait Edition
[quote]The focus of the Zombie Bait Edition is a hand-painted 31cm X 18.5cm resin statue of a decapitated bikini-clad female torso. According to Deep Silver, the statue is a "grotesque take on an iconic Roman marble torso sculpture."
"We wanted to provide a unique collector’s edition that was utterly ‘Dead Island’ and would make a striking conversation piece on any discerning zombie gamer’s mantel,” said Deep Silver sales and marketing director Paul Nicholls in a statement. [/quote]

So...what are your thoughts on..this. I think this is where we draw the line for games, as anyone who would want this in their home must be mentally deficient. This of course will not at all help the new video game debates. What are your thoughts on the gruesome statue? Really it just seems there is no need at all for this.
You can also see lot's of outrage [url=https://twitter.com/weefz/status/291228191950008320]here[/url], [url=http://www.polygon.com/2013/1/15/3878810/dead-island-riptides-bloody-torso-statue-sparks-anger-shock]here[/url], and [url=http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/01/15/deep-silver-promote-dead-island-with-appalling-statue/]here[/url]

2 RespuestasOh for -blam!-s sake, it's just a fake dismembered torso.
-
1 RespuestaWill Dead Island also get a #Gaming DLC?
-
I wouldn't want it myself, but I find the rage over it pretty fecking hilarious. If there ever was something to rustle Femin@zi Jimmies over video games, this has to be it.
-
Oh Shit. I thought it was just a bust. I just realized that the thing is decapitated. WTF?
-
Wheres the fleshlight insert
-
What really needs to be dismembered is this zombie of a thread.
-
Erm sorry what were you saying? Saw boobs. What's the issue here? ~,~`
-
Huh, that's an interesting twist...not something i'd really want in my room as a decoration, but I can see how someone else might.
-
5 RespuestasUhh......... I got Dead Island, not a fan, but even so, that "decapitated bikini-clad female torso" is a [i]bit[/i] too far. If ANYONE ever saw that in my house........ Eugh. Thats just creepy. Kind of pisses me off too, adding that to the "collection" is just so -blam!-ing unnecessary, and just gross. And I'm practically desensitized. That statue is just disgusting, I mean seriously, [i][b]who the -blam!- wants a "decapitated bikini-clad female torso" statue?!?![/i][/b]
-
I don't really see why people are getting their knickers in a twist over it, but I did think it was silly when I saw it
-
>tfw it was just a publicity stunt to get people talking about their game. They probably made only one and then will come back later and say they are putting something else in the pack instead.
-
The only thing more confusing than the "trophy" is that people are getting pissy about it. "Oh good heavens no, ho dare they have zombie merchandise for a game about killing zombies!"
-
I don't get what you guys are so upset over. When you guys are alone and playing the game you do some pretty sick twisted shit when no ones watching... Oh is it because you don't want people to see it and know what kind of twisted shit happens in video games?
-
1 RespuestaOur politicians must already be regretting giving us that R18 rating.
-
2 RespuestasWho would want this thing? If anything it makes me NOT want to buy the limited edition...
-
What the shit. It's ugly, sure, but not misogynistic. What the hell?

An update from Deep Silver [quote]A statement on the Zombie Bait Edition: We deeply apologize for any offense caused by the Dead Island Riptide “Zombie Bait Edition”, the collector’s edition announced for Europe and Australia. Like many gaming companies, Deep Silver has many offices in different countries, which is why sometimes different versions of Collector’s Editions come into being for North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. For the limited run of the Zombie Bait Edition for Europe and Australia, a decision was made to include a gruesome statue of a zombie torso, which was cut up like many of our fans had done to the undead enemies in the original Dead Island. We sincerely regret this choice. We are collecting feedback continuously from the Dead Island community, as well as the international gaming community at large, for ongoing internal meetings with Deep Silver's entire international team today. For now, we want to reiterate to the community, fans and industry how deeply sorry we are, and that we are committed to making sure this will never happen again.[/quote] Well someone realized that they goofed.

5 RespuestasEditado por Sh1n1ng Wolf: 1/16/2013 2:53:42 AMNow, and I'm completely serious when I say this, what if there was a couple chunks of flesh taken out of the breast to reveal the tits were so big because of implants? Have flesh taken out of one breast to reveal an intact silicon baloon, and have a chunk out of the other with some of the silicon oozing out of the fake tit. THAT would be disgusting, and would turn the overly sexualized bust concept on its head. Reveal the ridiculous tits for what they are and make them uglier as a result. If Dead Island wanted to be meaningful, as implied in its trailers, that could be a way of going about it.
-
1 RespuestaThat's ridiculous. I actually just saw that on Twitter.
-
15 RespuestasGross, and since when did dead island riptide exist?
-
I'm buying it.
-
3 RespuestasHe's still interested in Dead Island!
-
That's one helluva chick magnet right there.
-
1 RespuestaThat looks really dumb
-
5 Respuestas"It seemed like a good idea at the time..."

1 RespuestaWondering what the marketing team was thinking here?
