Romier S Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 The title is self-exclamatory and I'll get the ball rolling with three of what I consider the best videogame trailers of all time in no particular order. There's no rules here. It can be either gameplay or cinematic. Teasers or full on trailers, etc. Deus Ex Human Revolution Cinematic Trailer: Silent Hill 4 - E3 2004: The near 10 minute debut of Metal Gear Solid 2!

Angry the Clown Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 Is this a good trailer? I don't know. It was on an old Playstation Magazine demo disc and it left me seriously hyped though. This one was absolutely electric. There are clean versions on Youtube, but it's this one with the E3 crowd reaction that makes me smile the most.

Magness Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 Do playable trailers count? P.T. Otherwise - Gears of War (Mad World trailer): GOW Also I LOVED the Halo 2 reveal when the audience reacted to dual-wielding 😊 Halo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graeme Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 I was completely obsessed with Red Alert back in the day I also have a very fond place in my heart for this StarCraft trailer And the original WOW trailer Magness and Whooter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 They're unlikely to rank as the "greatest" as I suspect most people have forgotten all about them, but the absurdly expensive cinematic story trailers for Star Wars The Old Republic are still quite striking to watch: And the Wipeout 2048 intro cinematic which was also a trailer at one point: Magness and Brandon H 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 This was nice to revisit. I remember how much I loved this trailer when it first shown: That game still possesses one of the best video game music scores I've ever heard.

Romier S Posted August 16 Author Report Share Posted August 16 Also maybe not the greatest but a rare trailer comprised of full gameplay that wonderfully captures the games worlds and encounters. I remember being so damned excited to play this after this trailer (above my usual hype for the series): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry the Clown Posted August 16 Report Share Posted August 16 I can't leave those out. Always thought it was wild how the debut Last Guardian trailer used the theme from Miller's Crossing of all things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Mad World was my anthem when I was going through the failure of my first marriage.
