I was checking out my YT playlists and found this gem saved from all those years ago. Watching it still gives me goosebumps for how good it is. Everything from the music to the golden lighting to the exposition to Jensen's sexy voice to the imagery portrayed are perfection to me. Nothing has ever topped this since 2010. Watching it now in today's climate makes it more impactful and prophetic. I love the game as well but thats a different topic.

Share your favorite trailer(s), keeping the following in mind:

1- The spotlight is on the trailers; you don't need to have liked a game or even have played it.
2- To prevent recency bias please try to refrain from sharing trailers for upcoming games or mainstream games from the last couple of years or so. Try mentioning something older that had a strong impression on you!

EDIT: Currently busy but will watch the trailers as they come later today and tomorrow

I cried when I saw the trailer

 

[Inspector Q]

 

[Fahdis]

Still the GOAT.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

I like trailers that flow with the music, and before this no one was sure if there was a campaign.

[Lionel Richie]

Nothing comes even close.

Mass Effect 2 Launch Trailer

[R6Rider]

This one comes to mind:


But all the Mirror's Edge trailers are great, including Catalyst.

The music in this trailer is incredible.

The Nier PS3 trailer is one of my top favorites

 

[Last Hearth]

The SWTOR trailers were amazing.

I am too dumb to know how to link videos, but I loved the trailer for Breakdown on the Xbox. Driving music, the promise of playing as a powerful "last hope of mankind" hero protagonist, and a badass girlfriend sidekick. It hit all the right notes for teenager me all those years ago.

 

[Shambalakan]

Best trailers of my life were made by Kojima and I can name at least 15 amazing trailers from MGS3,4,5 to DS1,2. But it's difficult to choose just one or two, so I go for another thing.
This God of War 3 trailer was amazing and increased my hype from 10/10 to 11/10.

Hot off of N64, it looked like Ocarina 2 and the hype was unbelievable. I watched this over and over again.

Like BOTW the game wasn't as good as the trailer but still pretty good.

 

[Parazels]

 

[Damigos]

 

[ElFenomeno]

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

So many great suggestions in here. I haven't seen nearly as many trailers as probably the majority on GAF, but what i immediately thought of when reading the OP was
- Death Stranding
- Resident Evil VII

 

[Boogybro]

This is the best trailer of all times.

 

[Codes 208]

Still gives me chills

 

[Foxt3r]

 

[Cakeboxer]

Looking at it now is not the same as in 1996, but this one got me beyond hyped:

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

This is the correct answer.

I remember Vinny Caravella of GIantBomb did a recut of this trailer set to Mad World that was also really good. Ice-T, of all people, did a reaction to it iirc, and Vinny did a reaction to that, but I can't find any of those videos.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

 

[MayauMiao]

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

 

[GrandlyBodacious]

Has to be this one.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Only vid I could find.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

 

[VEZ1R]

Look how cool old trailers were. No social messaging, no lecturing, no pandering, just pure, honest cinema for mastercraft entertainment. Fuck this generation.

 

[Little Chicken]

 

[Grizzled Ghost]

I feel like you could put "Theme of Laura" under any trailer and immediately improve it by a large margin. Probably the best track of that generation.

 

[Gp1]

Heathblur / DCS knows how to do its porn movies.

 

[fersnake]

not gonna post the video but for me was FFVII remake, the hype at that conference with the trifecta was insane.

 

[POTASIUM]

Whoever made this trailer did their homework on what the fans wanted and presented it in the best way possible. They nailed the order of characters shown in this one.

Mass Effect 2 Launch Trailer

No contest, best game trailer of all time

 

[Chukhopops]

Still gives me chills

Well I was just about to post this one. Between the soundtrack and the FINISH THE FIGHT it's 2 minutes and 26 seconds of jizzing your pants. What's even crazier is the game delivered on that promise and even more.
