My favorite game trailers!!
This is a very old post from a previous blog, recreated for this one. These trailers are pretty old but hopefully I'll get around to making a new and updated list before too long.
The following trailers are some of my favorites. The games may not have been that good but the trailers blew me away, for one reason or another. Music, video quality, hype, etc. Enjoy.
IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER
The Witcher 2: Assassin of Kings
This video is amazing and pretty much checks all the boxes. The quality looks amazing, the music fits perfectly, and it really got me excited for the coming game.
I almost screamed when I first saw this trailer. I was super excited for the hectic world of Saints Row and I gotta admit, it's really the only reason I like this Kanye song xD (And yes, you can reenact this scene in the game)
I mean, who wouldn't think this was cool? And keep in mind, this was before the sequels and the Disney acquisition so it's some of the first news of more Star Wars I had had in years and the first I'd heard about anything from the Old Republic era since KOTOR 2.
This is crazy simply because of all the detail they put into a tangible art piece. And that last focus on Chief... damn. Here is a video behind the scenes that explains the art piece itself, all done in character.
Mass Effect 3
The excitement I felt when watching this. I was so ready to continue my journey through the Mass Effect universe after watching this. And the mess that was (or wasn't, depending on who you ask) Andromeda hadn't yet been made, so I had no reason to doubt that this game would be as epic as it looked. And it was definitely epic. Not so much the ending though. Anyone else really want a series or movie after watching this?
Assassin's Creed 2
By the time this came out, I already knew the game was coming but this just grew my already overwhelming feeling of hype. I learned the game was coming because it was on the cover of GameInformer magazine. After absolutely LOVING the first game, and having lived in Italy and visited Venice, I could NOT wait. Also... was that hidden GUN?!? (Note: kind of. Da Vinci builds you an "arma de fuoco" and while it does fire a bullet, you don't have many, it takes a while to reload, and its not super powerful, which is to be understood as actual guns hadn't even been invented yet, IIRC.)
AC: Brotherhood
This game wasn't as fun as the second but it was the first to introduce Assassins that fight along side the main character. That's one reason this trailer is so exciting. Seeing multiple assassins in the last moment, along with the confirmation of it being a direct continuation of the last game (same protagonist and maybe we can finally kill that a**hole Borgia) was definitely enough to get everyone talking about what Brotherhood would be like.
Assassin's Creed
Ok, this looks awesome. Neat setting. Badass looking protagonist. Gratuitous violence. Yes, please. While pretty much everyone who saw this expected a neat game, we were all confused by the technical glitches. It obviously takes place in the past so why are we seeing computer glitches? Oh, how little we knew at the time. I would kill for Assassins Creed to be simple again. I got pretty friggin' lost after Desmond meets Subject 16. Don't even get me started on the whole "lets stop your game in the middle of the story and make you do chores in your boring life as an ex-bartender" part. It seems Ubisoft has recently figured out (finally) that we play Assassins Creed to be an assassin, not to walk painfully slowly around a hideout and be lectured to.
Does anyone know the entire Assassins Creed story by heart? As of Valhalla, I am so GD confused xD
