Three Amazing E3 2015 Trailers and Three That Disappointed

COG writes: To narrow our list down three of the best and worst trailers from E3 2015 was no easy task. It was fantastic show for trailers and the publishers didn’t disappoint. Despite this, there were a few duds. So have a look at these 6 trailers on our list and tell us what you think.

Even though there was no actual gameplay involved with the Recore trailer I'm still very interested in that game. I mean look at the name behind it with Inafune... that right there means we should at least consider it!

COGconnected3234d ago

Nobody is excited for it. But might be a good game for the kids.

Unless they throw in some kind of dog figure with the game, it won't sell. The next trailer better be good and include gameplay.

Nirvana315913234d ago

Horizon was the game of the show, FF7 Remake the best trailer and Shenmue 3 the best shocker. Sony takes all the awards

fanboysmackdown3234d ago

So you speak for everyone do you? With talent like Inafune behind it I'm betting on a pretty good title and I'm curious to see what the game looks like. Next time you speak for everyone......here's an idea, keep it to yourself.

Dabigkahuna5043234d ago

Nirvana are serious about FF7 trailer because I didn't really see anything but the FF7 logo did I miss something

Ferage3234d ago

If it was a Sony exclusive, you pony's would praise it rofl.

OC_MurphysLaw3233d ago

I am very excited for Recore. Hope to see more more soon but the basic premise has me sold so far.

Don't think it belongs on the list. It was a reveal for a new ip to garner attention, I think it did just that.

Oh, Recore gets consideration...but Horizon Zero Dawn was it for me...it was just spectacular. There were so many good titles at this year's show, it really was an embarrassment of riches. Regarding Recore...it's an interesting concept, but without gameplay, nobody has any idea what it looks like or what it will play like. So just as with a game like Scalebound, you really have no idea what to expect and can only wait for more to be revealed. But I definitely wouldn't call it a disappointment as the author did, same as I wouldn't call Dreams a disappointment...we simply haven't seen enough of either to really know that yet.

On a side note...there are so many other games that both Sony and Microsoft didn't show off in their conferences that have already been announced and are highly anticipated...some of the omissions surprised me. I really expected to see Rime, Wild, The Tomorrow Children, Inside, Below, Persona 5, Uncharted Nathan Drake Collection, God of War Collection, Gears Collection...I know some of those were on the show floor, but I still expected to see gameplay in the conferences. I guess it bodes well for the rest of the years shows, especially when thinking we know we'll probably see those games and more later on this year.

DarkOcelet3234d ago

Both Dreams and Encore looked very interesting. They were not at the slightest disappointing.

Metroid on the other hand was a slap on the face. Look at the dislike ratio on YT. 6k likes over 59k dislikes.

Paulhammer3234d ago

Would definitely have liked more details on recore, but I still think that game is promising.... As long as it isn't a Knack clone!

ninsigma3234d ago

You're right about the clone, no one wants a clone, but if it was in the same vein as knack then that would be good because knack turned out to be a great little title.

Toiletsteak3234d ago

I agree with dreams it really didn't look all that good, Horizon was the game that stood out the most and it deserves everything it gets, i can't wait to see more on that game.

gosukyomomma3234d ago

I thought dreams looked amazing and i can not wait to play and interact with other peoples 'dreams' agreed developer didnt explain very well but that was his intention as more will be shown in paris games week.

Ive never been disappointed by a media molecule game so hope this does not let me down!

Metroid though WTF. I feel sorry for nintendo i grew up on nintendo games and its sad to see them eff things up so badly

ninsigma3234d ago

I'm not really sure what to say about dreams. I mean it looks call with regards to that we seem to have tim burton-esque visuals. But other than that it didn't appeal to me. I don't think I'm its target audiance, doesn't mean it won't be good.

Horizon though, was just on another level of awesome. They stole the show in terms of best new IP.

Relientk773234d ago

Horizon and Dishonored 2 are two of the games I'm most excited for

Dreams Dev Media Molecule Says Layoffs Impact Planned Community and Curation Support

IGN writes: "Media Molecule has said the layoffs at the Sony-owned studio have affected plans for ongoing community and curation support in Dreams."

Inverno34d ago

How self sustained can DREAM be when it's basically stuck on PS4? I don't think it's even gotten a PS5 upgrade. Ending support for what is essentially a game making engine is basically death. SONY did DREAMS dirty.

DF Weekly: Do we actually need The Last of Us Part 2 and Horizon Zero Dawn remasters?

With the details we now have in terms of features and pricing, I don't think there are any significant concerns remaining - just that perhaps that the term 'remastered' in the title is a little misplaced. Essentially, what we're dealing with here is broadly equivalent to a release along the lines of Death Stranding: Director's Cut. It's the original game with a dash of extra content and additional visual modes that tap into the power of PlayStation 5.

Bloodborne, Infamous, Killzone, Resistance, Puppeteer, Jak and Daxter etc are all better choices

Even a full on remake of Drakes Fortune I’d take

PrinceOfAnger149d ago

killzone 2/3 definitely a better choice, i have recently finished the games on pc and thought about that, a full remake like demon souls is even better

darthv72148d ago

2&3 are still fine... I'd take the first one as a full remake before the others. They could flesh out more of the backstory that the sequels touch on. Even go deeper into the lore of Helgan.

specialguest148d ago

KZ 2/3 would be amazing. KZ 2 was a graphical masterpiece back then. With today's modern tech, all of those tricks Guerilla Games did to create the effects like the lighting, storm effects, etc, they could now be done in real-time and more realistic

Cacabunga147d ago

Killzone 2-3
Golden Abyss remake
Infamous 2

RaidenBlack148d ago

Uncharted 1 still got a decent remaster for 8th gen ... a remake is not that much of a requirement ...
instead remake candidates should be from 5th or 6th gen
and as for proper remasters (not just lazy res upscale): Killzone 2 & 3 obviously and also Resistance/inFamous (as well as MGS4 :P)

-Foxtrot148d ago

My point with the list is that I’d rather see those titles than what we are getting…titles which are only 3-5 years old and still hold up today

CrashMania148d ago

Sony own the Demons Souls and Bloodborne IP, I wish they'd do something with Bloodborne at the very least.

vfl523148d ago

The way you worded that makes me think you don't realize they already remade demon souls

148d ago
GamingSinceForever148d ago

Not one of those will sell more copies than TLOU2 Remaster. The sooner we realize that these gaming sites and their followers are less than 1% of the buying public the better off we’ll be.

Sure we prefer newer titles but this is business and a business is what Sony is running.

JackBNimble148d ago

Don't you think they could be doing something better with their time and money, like maybe making something new? Or have they become lazy and just reliving the past with the same old games over and over.

Gez ... do something fresh and new already .

notachance148d ago

I'd rather for them to go Square Enix route and remake/remaster their PS1 libraries instead of these unnecessary remaster

come on, legend of dragoon..

Gamingsince1981148d ago

What's with the "need" anyway ? This is video games, no one needs them at all, we need water , we need air, we don't need games.

Barlos148d ago

I would love a remake/remaster of KZ1. For its time it really pushed the PS2 hard and because of that it had a few issues. This is begging to be given the Bluepoint touch and brought up to date. I'd love to see an updated Killzone trilogy collection for sure.

Yi-Long148d ago

Sony killed the game and the studio behind it, but a Remaster of the excellent Driveclub would absolutely be my favorite release if it happened. Just a delicious racing game.

FinalFantasyFanatic147d ago (Edited 147d ago )

So many better choices, I can't fathom why reasonably recent games are getting picked over Classics that are more deserving.

Well I want a Horizon Zero Dawn remaster especially if it's an upgrade to Forbidden West Graphics and Animation.

Nope. But HD remasters are an easy cash grab that the masses shovel cash for because while they complain about remakes, they still buy them

PRIMORDUS148d ago

Not if they release on a platform that never received the original in the first place like PC.

46player148d ago

No complaint here, I want the updated graphics.

Ra3030148d ago

My thoughts on this is do we need Richard Leadbetter's or Digital Foundry's opinion on anything........ever? I know I don't they do nothing for me and never have.

specialguest148d ago

You may not, but tons of people do since the video has 4,700 Likes to 112 Dislikes

Chocoburger148d ago

That guy is a buffoon, DF Direct is the best gaming podcast around. I look forward to it every week.

BehindTheRows147d ago

By that same token, some may not NEED remasters, while others may/do.

Amplitude148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

DF videos are typically absolutely amazing game reviews first and foremost. They have great intros, explain the mechanics well, tell you if they enjoyed it or not (I usually vibe well with John's games personally), and then they have the best tech breakdowns of a game's performance which is very very important to me. I want to know what settings to run at on PC, and on PS5 I wanna know if the 60fps mode runs well or not because if it doesn't... well I'll just get it on PC (If it isn't completely broken there too). DF Retro is also always unbelievably interesting and super well edited and inspired my YouTube channel which just crossed 1200 subs (wooo!). They helped me a lot with understanding game development and got me interested in goofing around with game engines and PC building in general back in the day.

I don't mean any offence by this but you sound like somebody who skims their analysis videos, selectively scrolls to the stats, says "who cares?", and then closes it. Or possibly somebody who watches (stolen) cut clips on TikTok? Even if you are somehow unaffected by blurry images and fluctuating frame rates (some people are and I envy you) I recommend watching a full DF episode one day. They're extremely interesting and I watch literally all of them even if I have no interest in the game.
