...and it's a strong contender...

Yahtzee doesn't do justice to how bad this is.  Check out some YouTube videos of the gameplay.

I picked this one:

But nothing can dethrone Big Rigs Over the Road Racing. Compard to that, this is a masterpiece.

[Patriot]

that was so ****ty but hilarious at the same time xD

[An4ximandros]

Is the protagonist Nuke? Or Dekker, maybe?

[Dragon]

Well, at least it's not broken like War Z. It's horrible, but also kind of funny.

[Apollo]

You know, on an artistic level this game is inferior to many Nintendo 64 games.

also plotholes

[BloodEagle]

Well, at least it's not broken like War Z. It's horrible, but also kind of funny.

To be perfectly fair to War Z (known now as Infestation: Survivor Stories*), it isn't a game.  It's a scam.  So it doesn't really qualify for the award.

*They changed the name in an attempt to escape the bad press / not get sued.

And Nerd³ has covered it now as well. Awesome video.

And... uh oh. Published and developed by Deep Silver, current owners of Volition... it's probably not a problem. is probably autonomous enough, I'm sure.

They also published Clear Sky, Catherine, Metro: Last Light, and X3, so I wouldn't worry about that.

[Hobbie]

Hm.

I don't understand. This looks nothing like Big Rigs.

[Polpolion]

the things about big rigs that were bad could've mostly been fixed with a few extra months of development, and the game would've been fine, if a bit banal. this game actually made and developed choices and ideas that were bad.

Make that a few extra years. Big Rigs was nothing more than a tech demo, even less than KSP when it was first released. But otherwise, you're right.

[haloboy100]

A tech demo of mediocrity, anyway.

[NGTM-1R]

They also published Clear Sky, Catherine, Metro: Last Light, and X3, so I wouldn't worry about that.

I'm pretty sure they had next to nothing to do with at least two of those, just acquired them along with the people involved late in development.

[Klaustrophobia]

i can't speak to the rest of the list, but Clear Sky, while fun, was a bug riddled mess.

[An4ximandros]

None of the bugs here compare to the master piece that is Trespasser

Still, given the examples set forth by the DS, I expect Volition's game quality to drop at least to hilarious shenanigans level.

There was another vid I wanted to show with all the physics freaking out (doors were literally moving as if they were fans tied to the top hinges) and raptors stuck on the roof in an eternal pounce at the player, but it got private'd.

[Lorric]

Those put a big smile on my face, An4ximandros.

[Hobbie]

Hang on. Is that the one where you have to stare at your boobs to see how much health you have left?

That game was REVOLUTIONARY! With the maturity of the average gamer plummeting ten years since the game came out, that would be a buy-me-now feature! Imagine the next Call of Duty with it! They could call it "Call of Duty: Boobs".

[Lorric]

Call of Duty: Boobytrap

[haloboy100]

Call of Duty: Boobytrap

No.

Call of Booty: Black Cocks
