It was made in a couple of weeks so don\u2019t expect a game in the size and scope of GTA with goats. In fact, you\u2019re better off not expecting anything at all actually. To be completely honest, it would be best if you\u2019d spend your $10 on a hula hoop, a pile of bricks, or maybe a real-life goat,&#8221; says Coffee Stain Studios on the pre-order page.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the trailers below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/JN2QUhaKN2Q?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WgTQglGvNUs?rel=0\" height=\"338\" width=\"600\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">More gaming news<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/61917-sa-game-broforce-launches-in-beta-on-humble-store.html\">SA game Broforce launches in beta on Humble Store<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/61909-ubisoft-predicts-r980-million-loss-sales-down.html\">Ubisoft predicts R980 million loss, sales down<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/61908-why-flappy-bird-was-killed-game-creator-explains.html\">Why Flappy Bird was killed: game creator explains<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/61885-watch-dogs-launch-date-update-wii-u-delayed.html\">Watch Dogs launch date update, Wii U delayed<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goat Simulator is giving it horns and is available for pre-order<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":157,"featured_media":61927,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[12014,12013,21],"class_list":["post-61926","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-coffee-stain-studios","tag-goat-simulator","tag-headline"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61926","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/157"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61926"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61926\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/61927"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61926"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61926"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61926"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
