Trailer of the Week: Deus Ex, Call of Duty, or The Witcher?

The period after the holiday saw a lull for new media and game announcements, as is routine. As the summer blockbuster season and E3 come into focus, a vast marketing apparatus is finally creaking into action. This week was probably the most significant yet this year for game trailers, with three huge AAA titles taking their turns in the spotlight.

Which trailer was the most impressive?

The Witcher 3 just looks unbelievably good. Hats off to CDprojeckt for making such an astonishingly beautiful looking game.

I have been waiting for a sequel to Human Revolution so the Mankind Divided trailer was also epic and i am sucker for Deus Ex.

So...

Both The Witcher 3 and Mankind Divided are a day one for me. Cant say the same about Black Ops 3.

M337ING3319d ago

Totally agree with you. Deus Ex' debut was very impressive.

Hellsvacancy3318d ago

The trailer for Deus Ex was very impressive, I expected no less, LOVED the soundtrack

I stopped the trailer for Witcher 3 30 seconds in, looked too epic

I've not even bothered watching the new COD video, meh

starchild3318d ago (Edited 3318d ago )

Yeah, well said. That's pretty much how I felt about them too. Both The Witcher 3 and Deus Ex Mankind Divided are two of my most anticipated games, but I would probably have to give it to The Witcher 3 as far as the trailers go just because it was all gameplay footage and the game is right around the corner so I'm more excited for it.

ZombieKiller3318d ago

Oh definitely the Witcher. I love how the "GTA'd" the trailer. I call it GTA-ing the trailer when the devs take a womans voice, show the trailer, and have her talk about the features of the game. GTA did that a few times before the games launch. Awesome. TELL ME ABOUT YOUR GAME.

As if it wasn't numero uno for me anyway. Man that game looks tits.

The trailers for Witcher 3 and Deus Ex were amazing

The Black Ops 3 trailer is just a teaser, doesn't show me anything

Benoski3318d ago (Edited 3318d ago )

Both Deus Ex and Witcher 3 had great trailers. Although it's hard to say, but I think I'll go and say that Witcher 3 had the better trailer, since it was all actual gameplay. Deus Ex's trailer was just CG, but it was also very impressive and had amazing music.

Also, Witcher 3's trailer had a little humour in it, especially this part:

Vampire: "Is it 1358 yet?"
Geralt: "No."
Vampire: "Then f*** off!"

As for Black Ops 3, it's just a teaser, so there's nothing to go on. I'm not as much a CoD fan, anyway.

Dirtnapstor3318d ago

Witcher 3 hands down. We've seen enough to know that the end product will be pretty much as advertised. Deus Ex was impressive and hopefully the gameplay will be on par.
There was nothing but audio that was telling. We shall see.

joel013318d ago

Deus ex for me..the whole presentation captures the essence of deus ex franchise so perfectly.. you know Illuminati , augmentation , cyberpunk world in a golden palette and all those stuff. Hopefully the gameplay would also be epic , can't wait for it.

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave37d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan37d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.

shinoff218361d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Cacabunga61d ago

Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name61d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno61d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood60d ago (Edited 60d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno60d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure60d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
