Best game trailers

[Gravityqueen4life]

what you saw is what you got. not of that pre-ranted bullshit.

 

[Battlecruiser3000ad]

Simple, and with feels.

 

[Muttnik]

Some of my faves. Old-ass games but I remember the hype.

 

[Wonderful Id]

Payday did a bunch of really good ones, but this one for the collaboration between Payday and Hotline Miami is fantastic, especially the music at the end

 

[Uncle June]

Still the most hyped I've ever been for a game.

 

[JEB!]

Never played it and never liked capeshit, but I always thought this was extremely well done a decade ago

 

[Antique Rice]

I always questioned the music choices for these trailers, but they really sold the idea that we were witnessing a total war between giant robots and just what scale of battle to expect from the story. It helps that the game turned out really well in the end.

Payday did a bunch of really good ones, but this one for the collaboration between Payday and Hotline Miami is fantastic, especially the music at the end

Viklund's music continues to be my favorite thing about Payday, what an absolute legend.

Basically a thread for any trailer that you liked or disliked that really stuck with you and/or left an impression. My pick for one on the positive side of the spectrum is the initial trailer for No More Heroes 2.

I will forever be pissed this song never shows up in the actual game, but besides that great trailer.

this trailer (especially around 2:50) made me so much more emotional than the entirety of the game's actual story.

most trailers aren't great, but there are a few that have really stood out to me.

BPM: Bullets Per Minute
now THIS is how you do a trailer for a rhythm game.

Hellblade II: Senua's Sacrifice
don't wanna pick trailers just because i like the song... but Heilung is an exception. plus, hot damn that facial animation.

Alien
the trailer really tells you basically nothing about the movie, but it's so intense i feel like it absolutely captures the tone of it.

Halo 3 - Believe
can't forget the classics

We Went Back
and one from the other end of the spectrum... while i wouldn't call this trailer outright bad, it completely ruins everything it sets up, all in about 10 seconds. i'm still salty because it had so much potential and i love sci-fi horror.

It's so good it actually made it into Smash Ultimate.

Another favorite of mine. I don't even play Street Fighter, but the way the trailer's cut just hypes me up every time.

 

[Maskull]

The greatest trailer I ever saw.

Ironically the worst trailer was of its sequel.

Nice reading comprehension.

The Mad World trailer for the original Gears of War always stood out to me:

Also, the 'Go to Hell' Super Bowl ad for Dantes Inferno with Ain't No Sunshine. RIP Billy Withers

Don't remember what demo disc featured it (I want to say Tomb Raider 2) but I could never forget this trailer for Thief: The Dark Project.

[AngryItalianAmerican]

I'm a sucker for the Deus Ex: HR trailer.

Edit: I'm a moron, and posted movie trailers

 

[Dom Cruise]

One of the most excited I've ever been in my entire life was when I first saw the E3 2003 trailer for Metal Gear Solid 3, I shit a solid gold brick!

 

[Defensive Ella Purnell]

I really enjoyed the Death Stranding E3 trailer.

Whatever you thought about the actual game, the marketing was awesome & conveyed a real sense of mystery & just plain weirdness that really made a lot of people wanna play the game to figure out what the fuck was going on.
