Best Game Trailers of All Time

From Michael Muncatchy of www.digitalvideogamer.com
"Video game trailers have long been the chief way for gamers to gather the essence of a game company’s creative vision. Whether the trailer features a pre-rendered cut scene or realtime footage, these brief videos are digital windows into the art and experience of a game. While some trailers are quickly forgotten, others remain both memorable, and influential. This is a collection of the greatest game trailers ever made."

A teaser is not a trailer

[gamerzBEreal17]

[doshey]

oh that is a classic right there, i love that teaser, never watch one better than that(imo)

[Megaton]

I'm typically not a fan of the live-action teasers/trailers for games, but I did like that one.

Gears always has pretty good trailers, but this one is my fav. http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Mass Effect 2 launch trailer is really good.

[Kahvipannu]

100% agreement!

[testerg35]

I will be like a PS3 fan in the Halo article.

C'mon.. Why aren't they showing in-game. There's no way that's in game graphics!

[Upbeat]

that gow trailer is why i ended up buying a 360

[HelghastKid]

My top trailers (in no specific order):

Gears 1-Mad world
KZ2- Hit detection trailer
DA2- Gamescon trailer
Star Wars MMO E3 trailer
Halo 3 CG trailer
FFV13 trailer
A bunch more but it would take too long to post lol

[Coffin87]

How about the MGS4 E3 Debut Trailer? Don't remember what year it was.. may 2006. You know, the trailer where Raiden kills 5 or 6 of that Walkers.

[HelghastKid]

Oh yea that trailer was badass! the one with him and Vamp right? but those arent my top trailers, just some of the ones that came to the top of my head.

[RedDead]

100% agree with the list
there my top ones too

[Fishy Fingers]

Mad World trailer is really good, but I wish they'd used the original by Tears for Fears, not the horrid cover. Although I guess many dont even know the original (1982).

[OSU_Gamer]

I have heard the original, but its not quite as good for the trailer IMO. Its a completely diferent song with the same lyrics, if you know what I mean.

[Fishy Fingers]

Yeah I understand, the original has that 80s synthesizer sounds going on, compared to the more stripped back cover.

"Horrid" is a bit strong, I just remember my folks playing Tears for Fears as a child, so it's got good memories for me, bias I guess. Just find the cover a bit "wet".

[CombatEvolving]

Not really

[Steve_Urkel]

All around me are familiar comments
Worn out phrases, worn out comments
Bright and early for their daily trolling
Goin' nowhere, goin' nowhere
Their tears are fillin' up their glasses
No expression, no expression
Hide my head I want to close my browser
No more trolling, no more trolling

And I find it kind of funny
I find it kind of sad
The comments in which I'm reading
Are the worst I've ever seen
I find it hard to tell you
'Cause I find it hard to take
When people troll for hours
It's a very, very
Sad world, sad world
Sad world, sad world

Did I dooo that?

[OSU_Gamer]

thats actually pretty good

[Fishy Fingers]

Ha, that is good! But am I troll because I dont like a song cover :/

[Fishy Fingers]

Double post. This thread aint going well for me huh.

[Takoulya]

Bubbles, man, bubbles! That was hilarious!

[Kamikaze8]

Maybe the article would be better if it was more than just a long list of videos and there was actually some editorial in there. Why are they the best? Instead of simply listing them.

[OSU_Gamer]

I'm not a hug Force Unleashed fan, but the trailer for The Force Unleashed 2 was probabaly one of the better trailers I have seen recently

Gears of War MAd World was really good, and so was the Halo 3 trailer.

[iamnsuperman]

In a way i love the trailers like MW2 teaser that give you suttle hints

I would love for all the CGI trailers to be banned but for now I will have to dream of that day coming

[00]

I liked Mass Effects 2 launch trailer.

[Megaton]

Love that trailer.

[triggaHappy]

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[dead_eye]

not bad. could show any video with that song and it would be awesome.

[pustulio]

The new Halo: Reach live action trailer is really good too, the mad world from gears made me buy it and the KZ3 teaser made me say wow.

I have some more but im too lazy to list them.

[doshey]

mad world was a good one, even greater song, haha i remember i made a trailer for Resistance using the mad world song, i though of it as pretty good, but it is gone forever

[ThePlaystationFour]

This trailer was pretty epic.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

All the FF trailers are amazing but Versus 13 is just epic.

[e-p-ayeaH]

Twisted Metal Extended Trailer - so full of awesome

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[TheLastGuardian]

Those who disagreed with you have no soul.

[finbars75]

AHHHHHHHHHHH SHITTTTTTTTTT I love that trailer.Sorry that takes the crown to me and a close second is obvisouly Resistance 3.It good to be back.

[SKUD]

[timmyrulz]

FABLE 3 WITH THE CHICKEN - PURE AWESOMENESS

[emil1]

this one is my best:

http://www.ps3youtube.com/?... http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[doshey]

alright that trailer epic great

[laoboy_Smoke]

I forgot how EPIC that U2 trailer was... ya know wat, im jus gonna go ahead play through tha saga again starting right now! :D

[JaeKuro]

The Assassin's Creed 2 trailer will always be one of my favorites...pure awesomeness dude

[tiamat5]

Watching Cole fight in slow motion to a guitar rift in Infamous was an awesome trailer. But the realistic R3 one was epic. Made me want a Resistance movie.

[TheLastGuardian]

Great list but too many current gen titles. I really want to play Silent Hill now but Theirs also 50 other games I want to play too but I don't yet own them. Even though Resident Evil 5 isn't scary it's still a fantastic game and Sheva has the best ass evar.

[ColdWinter]

Legend of zelda twilight princess E3 2004 trailer

Final fantasy 13 x10 trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Infamous 2 fan made trailer

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Super mario Galaxy 2

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[dead_eye]

oh my god i hate that infamous 2 fan made trailer. its got nothing on the proper one

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

think slow music works better for all of them.

[ColdWinter]

i think too many trailers are using slow music and i think that trailer shouldn't be used to represent infamous 2 since by looking at the effects one can assume it was made with the intent of showing off the 3d effects that will be present in this game but i guess the trailer i posted can't be used since it's using the new Cole. I only wish they would release a 3d version of this trailer so that we can see what everyone else saw at the conference.

[dead_eye]

i'm just a sucker for those type of trailers. yeah seeing it in 3d would be awesome.

[DrillaKid]

I thought that the Deus Ex:HR trailer released just before E3 was pretty cool.

[pr0digyZA]

yeah that music made that trailer infact music makes a lot of trailers come to think about it. just take that mass effect 2 trailer.

[devilhunterx]

All Ace Combat trailers.

[Sizzon]

I like the Twisted Metal trailer, punk! xD

[CaptainPunch]

The Gears of War 2 trailer was awesome, I loved the music!

[deadoralive1337]

I really like this trailer. It convinced me to buy the game and it was indeed pretty impressive.

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[the-show-stopper]

all cgi star wars trailers

[versusALL]

The best trailer was Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

[Pug]

FF VIII is still my favourite.
