Game trailers you like?

[lRookiel]

You went and made a thread over it? You damn fanboy!

You're damn right I'm a dark souls fanboy!

[sub]Plus I'm good enough to actually finish the game unlike SOMEONE "Waaaah fps drops waaaaah"[/sub]

No but seriously I can't wait until 2014. I want to feel the pain Dan!

My measurement of a good trailer is that it shows actual gameplay or other parts of the game. Anything else is little more than movie showing how awesome a game could be, not how it is. That being said, I love the Mass Effect 2 trailer...

It's probably my favourite one as well. There aren't many trailers that have made me instantly think, "I MUST play this game," and this was one of them. The fact that Heart of Courage is an absolutely beautiful piece of music helps a great deal too.

I just love this one so much. The music is awesome, the animation is awesome, the effects and trail things are awesome, and it has SIR DANIEL MOTHERFUCKING FORTESQUE'S first appearence in years!

 

[The Funslinger]

Yeah, the Dark Souls 2 trailer is pretty damn perfect


The Skyrim trailer was pretty damn awesome, although that was mostly down to the superb soundtrack.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't gotten tired of kicking some dragon ass in that game xD

Anyway, one of my favorites is this:

Spoiler: Mass Effect 1 Distress Call trailer

It nails the mood perfectly. And I love the music. I want that music. Anyone know where I can get that music?

Damn it, I came here specifically to post that one, and I was really hoping no one would get to it first. I have to say that that is the one and only trailer I've ever seen that made me decide on the spot to buy the game. It was just a perfectly directed forty seconds, and it hit me with everything I love to see in a video game. I know you should never trust a trailer without gameplay footage, but I knew I had to get Mass Effect as soon as I saw that.

The one for ME2 is also awesome, lack of gameplay be damned.

This fanmade Mass Effect 3 trailer is actually great, using clips from all 3 games and some awesome background music. (Only problem is that some of the audio isn't mixed that well.)

Also, even if you absolutely hated Prince of Persia '08, I think the trailer deserves praise for its artistic direction and beautiful soundtrack.

I'm not sure why I like it so much... I guess it's the music.

That music just sums up the entire SR experience.

Trailers like this one:
and this one: http:
are what get me all giddy for a game.

Fun fact: The insects in this trailer were originally made just for this trailer, it was this trailer that prompted the creation of the insect swarm plasmid!

 

[Animyr]

I love trailers that just don't give a shit and revel in being stupid. Crysis 3's trailer is a great one


Suit up indeed.

One of my college instructors worked on that, apparently.

 

[FrozenCones]

A few of mine have already been mentioned. This is one of my favorites.


And something a little different. It gave me shivers when this first came out.

 

[Fenra]

One of my favorites of all time (and turned into one of my fav games on the ps2) has to be


I can watch it over and over to this day

 

[Blunderboy]

Some awesome trailers so far. I've been ninja'd so many times.

Here are some of my other favourites though.

I'm not even a huge SC fan.

Still love this DA trailer.

And while not a game trailer exactly, I do love this Playstation advert.

Be it a trailer for Metal Gear Solid 5, or be it a stand-alone video game, it looks intense as hell.

 

[King Aragorn]

This trailer sold me on the game. Never looked back.

Huh... I played the game and it's not nearly as interesting as that trailer IMO. Also, welcome to the escapist newbie :3

Yeah, the Dark Souls 2 trailer is pretty damn perfect

Daystar.... I can't stop watching it. HELP ME!

First of all, thanks.
I like this place.

And I found everything in that trailer, in the game. It be the Daedalus references, the topic of transhumanism, the future, augmentations, the Cyberpunk style, everything really.

I love the game, but i only saw that trailer once I'd finished the game and went exploring in the extra's of the special edition. It's so terribly fitting, and a great trailer because now I want to play it again.

It'd be glorious on an HD TV, honestly.
I'm hoping the next game continues with this kind of trailers, maybe the game will match such CGI...

I really think the Halo series is garbage but damn if this isn't one of the best trailers for a thing I've ever seen.

 

[Lugbzurg]

Simple one folks, what game trailers are you loving at the moment?

My current favourite is the Dark souls II trailer. :3


HNNNNNG I want this game so damn much. [sub]Let's just hope the PC version is better this time :3[/sub]

Dark Souls II was announced!? How did I miss this!?

Well, let's see. I'm sure you're all familiar with this trailer by now...

What I really like about this one is how as the main theme plays, this is your life... a calm, peaceful, serene village over the clouds. Then, when it loops, this is your life... a bold, noble, heroic adventure!

When I see something like this, I just can't help but smile.

You've probably heard a lot of buzz about this game thanks to Notch... sort of.

THIS. Just... this. I seriously can't wait to get started.

Oh sure, this is pretty much everyone's favorite, I suppose.

Time for some chills.

Everyone at the Escapist probably knows about this game, anyway.

If only the parkour was like this. The game would be perfect.
