Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon's animated trailer is a retro throwback

The animated trailer for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon will make you want to wear your jammies, turn on some Saturday morning cartoons, and eat some Batman cereal.

It's finally official. After an April Fool's reveal confused people into thinking Blood Dragon was all a joke, Ubisoft has confirmed that the game will be available on May 1st on PC, PlayStation Network for PS3, and Xbox Live. And yes, it's a standalone game--no need for the original disc.

To coincide with the announcement, Ubisoft has a rather brilliant trailer prepared. With its eerily accurate 80s-style animation, cheesy voice acting, and VHS scan lines, the trailer will have you wanting to wear your jammies, turn on some Saturday morning cartoons, and eat some Batman cereal.
