10 Terrible Games That Took Way Too Long to Make

4. Dead Island - 5 Years

Though Dead Island was fairly successful when it launched last year, it never seemed like a game that spent nearly five years in development. Dead Island, though it offered an interesting take on the zombie apocalypse, has become synonymous with games that are totally outclassed by their trailers. The trailer for Dead Island had everything the game lacked, namely the presence of some mature themes, an element completely missing in the rap-infused, drunken mess that was the game's prologue. Surely five years in development should have made something slightly less brain-dead.
