Evanescence?

Who signed off this trailer?

 

[Arsic]

Video games were a mistake.

 

[jshackles]

I thought Evanescence was a joke OP was making. Nope. lol, lmao even

 

[TheDuskwalker]

Morale of this story is don't smoke crack.

From software should start an Elden Ring myspace while they're at it.

 

[ssringo]

I liked the song when I was 20 (still do I suppose) but...just...no...

They were also involved in an AMV for the recent Devil May Cry show:



Whoever their agent is, they're doing a good job.

 

[Seyken]

This was recommended on my feed and I was unsure if it really was what I thought it was. Then I watched it.

I immediately came here to see the reactions.

 

[jshackles]

Hopefully this means we've moved on from taking songs from 20+ years ago, slowing them down, putting them to a piano tune, and having the vocals redone in a minor key. So sick of that shit, just give me the garbage song as-is.

 

[GudOlRub]

I was wondering when someone would make a thread about this.
First I laughed my ass off when I saw it, then I enjoyed the hell out of it because it is unironically a banger tune and it brings me back to some good memories.

I want my Death Stranding 2 Launch Trailer to have Nickelback playing in the background next

Bravo sir

say what you want, it's 100x better than the hip hop rap bullshit infesting video game trailers nowadays

This….

I don't have issue with song but this song so damn overused in AMVs that kinda makes trailer fan made.

I prefer it used original track.

 

[R6Rider]

It's not about the style of music, it's about the music fitting the game/trailer.

Bad choice imo.

Song seems alright.


As for this ER video, atleast they didn't do a cover. Sony and it's infamous covers of classics is pretty silly.

 

[yogaflame]

I like Evanescence but this is cringy

The perfect song for DS is this one "Im Gonna Be"

 

[SILKYSMOOTH30FPS]

I don't like Fromsoft being mainstream. Their soundtracks fit their games perfectly, and blasting Evanescence ruins the whole atmosphere of these games. Keep this mainstream shit for call of duty ads, not mah fromsoft stuff.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

I like Evanescence but this is cringy

Me too.

This group and song is "from my era" but this feels so out of place.

If they forced me to, I'd have chosen a similar but more fitting one

That is a good one. But personally I prefer they use Enya song or Annie Lennox, for this type of setting of the game.

 

[Macattk15]

Should have used this version in the trailer.

 

[mitch1971]

That looks like someones first go with a video editing software.

 

[Revolutionary]

Take notes, Alex Garland. The people want an Evanescence soundtrack in the Elden Ring movie.

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

I would choose this instead if we're gonna meme

 

[newtypepilot]

LMAO mid 2000s meme aside, I saw those feet shots.

 

[Zacfoldor]

Best shit I've ever seen. Hipsters.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

Wow. I thought this was some meme joke everyone ran with but it ACTUALLY has Evanescence in the trailer.

This has to be some 42 year old intern switching from a soul-crushing 20 year career at call center. Fly free deep and dark spirit...

 

[Kotaro]

They need to replace their social media intern

 

[HRK69]

[MiguelItUp]

I just..... I just don't understand why they would think this was a great idea, lol. It felt like some weird fan trailer the entire time.

 

[Seyken]

The trailer is getting good numbers and people are talking, so someone in the marketing department certainly understood the assignment.

 

[HRK69]

I doubt the social media intern cuts trailers lol

 

[diffusionx]

this is the greatest scene in videogame history

 

[kevboard]

this is amazing
love the song, and something like this will clearly spread through word of mouth because it's so out of left field lol.

next we need a One Step Closer trailer for... uhm... maybe Metroid Prime 4?

 

[Kabelly]

song is forever a classique. it's so hard to remove the song from the memes now though.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

The trailer is getting good numbers and people are talking, so someone in the marketing department certainly understood the assignment.

I think the pre-order numbers for this game are probably not great and this is a Hail Mary from marketing.

 

[NeverYouMind]

Should have gone with Papa Roach.

 

[Pejo]

Legit looks like a high school project made by a teenager in a video editing class. I know expectations are likely low for this game, but come on.

 

[SpearHea.:D]

Goddamn that song, sends me back to my teenage days. Lover Evanescence and amy's voice. Here is one more to refresh up things

 

[SpearHea.:D]

 

[Radical_3d]

This trailer doesn't pushes me to buy the product. It pushes me into a cliff to end my miserable forty something experience with life.

Anyways since we're outing early 2000s comercial metal let's go with:

 

[Northeastmonk]

It feels out of place. It's not a bad song. It's just something I wouldn't listen to while playing. It's a tad too emo. Takes me back to when Gears 4 or 5 had a trailer with Billie Eilish. It was Gears 4 had the Sound of Silence trailer which was BS marketing gimmick. Gears 5 had Billie Eilish. None of that adds to the experience besides knowing these songs already exist.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

say what you want, it's 100x better than the hip hop rap bullshit infesting video game trailers nowadays

Exactly

 

[bender]

Should have gone with Papa Roach.

Buckcherry imho:



And if you are upset that I reminded you that Buckcherry exists...

 

[Kenneth Haight]

 

[Hudo]

Someone at Bamco's marketing team probably has a daughter going through her "goth phase". And that guy is like "If I have to suffer, everyone else has too as well."

 

[Come On Tars]

This rocks
