![]() ![]() It’s very hard to do funny in a video game trailer. The whole thing is just badass, not a second is wasted. The way the characters are established and the scene is set, the calm before the storm, the epic slow motion action. Totally shameless!Įverything about this is just cool. As a young man, I can’t image watching this and not immediately buying the game. As much time, care and thought was spent on this game’s creation as any other Team Ninja production. However, the more you play the game, the more you realize that it isn’t true. It’s easy to say this game is 100% fan service and is totally devoid of real content or gameplay. This is the weirdest game that I have ever played. Not only does it reveal a totally original gameplay concept, but also curiously dark-comedy undertone. When I first saw this I had to watch it three times to fully understand what I was looking at. Did you know this 30-second spot was first played during the Super Bowl?Įveryone knows about Portal now, but back when it was just a “offshoot” in a bundle called the Orange Box many people had no idea what it was. The Dante’s Inferno marketing machine probably had more money than the developers had on the actual game. It explains the plot and conveys a mood in only thirty seconds. It is unfortunate that I hated this game so badly because I thought this trailer was spot on. Here we see maximum patented Star Wars style action, and it looks glorious. Anytime anything Star Wars is produced everyone wants to see the light sabers and BioWare understood that well. it is the single coolest thing in the whole world. No one can look away from a light saber battle. Star Wars has a strange effect on people. ![]() Seems like it would sell the story pretty well even to the uninitiated. I have been a huge fan of the Mass Effect franchise and I eagerly waited for this trailer, I wonder what its effect would be on someone not familiar to with the series. If you closed your eyes and just listened to the high-budget voice acting you wouldn’t know any better. It plays more like a movie trailer than a video game trailer. Getting back into the action with him is what everyone wanted, and exactly what this teaser promises. It’s the audience’s reaction and attachment to Master Chief that make this trailer so awesome. If this was a trailer for some no-name game I think it probably wouldn’t have had as much impact. Most of the this trailer’s power comes from the success of the original Halo. After the suit is assembled, Tychus expresses the sentiments felt by every fan for many years … another ten years later, StarCraft 2 actually came out in the classic Blizzard style. Finally the marines are getting geared up for a second coming of Blizzard’s masterpiece. A full ten years later this teaser was released it was electric. Here is my list of the best video game trailers of all time. Good game or bad game, that is one mighty fine trailer you created. Have you ever purchased a game based on the trailer alone? I sure have, and it didn’t always work out of me, but even though I was pissed of for being swindled out of $60 (I am looking at you Dante’s Inferno) I must give credit were credit is due. As the gaming industry continues to grow video games have been getting trailers. Video games are works of art and deserve to be analyzed as such. I am, at least, an avid video-gamer and, at best, a video-game philosopher.
