What are your favourite trailers?

I always enjoyed the Portal 2 trailers with Cave Johnson

Panels

Bot Trust

Turrets

Boots

Perpetual Testing Initiative

The Mechanicus trailer is maybe the greatest ever.

I also fondly remember the Skyrim reveal trailer, because the music was so epic when I saw it for the first time, in ancient times.

How did no one say this yet? Duke Nukem Forever E3 2001 trailer

The Battlefield 1 trailer.

I had never played a Battlefield game, and that trailer got me pumped enough to buy it at launch. Also, WWI was such an interesting (and horrifying) war.

Both of the Halo 3 and Halo Reach trailer campaigns were fantastic

I like the ones that turn into tiny houses

Here are a few that stuck in my mind throughout the years:

• FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn - End of an Era - even for someone completely uninterested in FFXIV this thing went hard. Heck, re-watching it now still gives me chills.
• Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days - War Junkie - I love the contrast between the rough and shitty situation of a dude who can't let go of criminal life compared to a psychopath who managed to get his life together.
• Leviathan: Warships Jazzy Trailer with Jazz Boatman - smooth and sultry, like a boat (I don't know what this suppose to mean but the trailer is great).

The Satisfactory trailers

smash bros character reveals

The trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution has to be one of my favorites

The original Overwatch trailer. https://youtu.be/FqnKB22pOC0?si=1sxRLaaGeP4d0l-r

Gears of War. You know the one.

And Dead Island.

Halo 3: ODST

Fallout 4's announcement trailer still gives me chills. Shame the game itself never lived up to it.

The cinematic trailers for OG Guild Wars.

Trailers for the games I have played:

• Skyrim
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild

haven't played

• Death Stranding
• Death Stranding 2
• Fallout 4

The supreme commander trailer.

CrossCode - Console Release Date Trailer

One of my favorite tracks on the OST, and I love how they've synced all the cuts to the music. It's a fantastic sizzle reel showing off little bits and pieces of everything that's cool in this game.

The most excited I have ever been for a trailer was when I saw an ad for Secret of Mana on TV; and it's entirely because it was the first time I ever saw a video game advertised on TV and not just in magazines.

I don't even like ESO much, but the trailer for Elder Scrolls Online's High Isle expansion.

he should have won

The undeniable top spot has to go to the Battlefield 1 trailer, which stands at 74m views over the last 8 years.

The Halo 3 Believe trailer is up there as well.

A personal favorite of mine is the God of War: Ascension Super Bowl Ad

Honorable mention goes to a really solid recent trailer as well is the one for the long-awaited release of Satisfactory 1.0

FFVIII or Silent Hill

No Man's Sky trailers for updates are pretty good. Always watch them even if I don't play it much. All gameplay, great transitions, great background music.

Farm Sim trailers are very enjoyable, both the newer rock music ones

As for all time favorites, the Warcraft 3 trailer still lives in my head. Even remember the words.

The Armored Core trailers are probably my favourites:

• Armored Core 4 (with a bonus For Answer intro)
• Armored Core V
• Armored Core VI

The thing that stands out the most is the sense of how enormous and powerful these mechs are.

A favorite from this year is the trailer for Doom: Dark Ages. Excellent pacing. Weapons I’m waiting to get my hands on. It makes it clear how it’s going to set itself apart from the previous entries, and I’m hyped for it.

An all-time classic will forever be the first trailer for Zelda: Twilight Princess. At the time it was the right trailer for a new Zelda. People wanted a ”proper” Zelda after Wind Waker, and what they presented was just mind blowing. In the end I didn’t enjoy TP as much as I wanted, but that first trailer still gives me goose bumps. At least TP made me find a new appreciation for WW.

Assassin's Creed: Unity had one of the best trailers of all time, and it will take something truly special to dethrone it from my personal nr 1.

Nothing will ever top the Modern Warfare 2 Infamy trailer.

Imagine it is 2009 and you have no idea what the future of COD looks like, no clue what is going to happen in MW2, and you see this trailer.

Mirrors edge

Battlefield 1

the Portal trailer is very good.

The E3 reveal trailer for The legend of Zelda: Twillight Princess still remains one if the most exciting moments in gaming history. I still get goosebumps when I see Miyamoto holding up the sword on stage to thundering applause. Even though the game is among the lesser memorable ones in the series now.

I also remember rewatching the Breath of the Wild E3 gameplay trailer dozens of time. It's just so perfectly paced and cut with a perfect music score to go with it. But even though the game turned out to be as great as the trailer promised I couldn't bring myself to buying the sequel. I'm just so done with Nintendo that I couldn't really enjoy it.
