8 Video Game Trailers That GO HARD
3. My Friend Pedro
Blood. Bullets. Bananas.
When you've got a tagline like that and are backed by indie powerhouse publisher Devolver you absolutely know you're on to a winner without seeing a shred of actual gameplay. Well if you wanted to whet your whistle even further then just watch the launch trailer for My Friend Pedro, a sequence that has Gwen Stefani phoning her lawyers thanks to its outrageous "s**t is bananas" vibes.
Hand drawn and supremely off the wall, My Friend Pedro is a clever example of featuring all the actual game has to offer without actually telling you a bloody thing. All you see are bananas, intense firefights, and incredible trick-shot skills. There's no rhyme or reason to the events but they are presented in such a beautiful package and to such a thumping soundtrack that you'll immediately be hooked from the get-go.
It's a real positive that the game itself was such a barnstorming success and of course, featured just as many bananas as the launch trailer promised.
