Memorable Game Trailers

[DeathscytheX 9,732]

Gaming has come a long way since I was a child. Back then you might have seen a cheesy TV commercial here or there during cartoon hour, but within the last decade the gaming industry has become larger than Hollywood. Games get massive budgets and marketing on the same scale as their movie counterparts. Each year we gravitate towards our favorite gaming sites during one of the many large expos the industry puts on looking for something new, hoping for a sequel to our favorite gaming series, or anticipating some rumor to come to fruition that was lingering around leading up to the event.

 

Do you have any trailers throughout the years that generated unbearable excitement?

I never played Call of Duty 1-3. I started at COD4: Modern Warfare, it came out shortly after i purchased my first xbox 360. The game was intoxicating, it was the first game I truly got to play with friends online that didn't require a LAN in 9th grade computer class, playing in secret while the teacher was talking . I was excited about World at War despite the negativity it had received for going back to the WWII period. It was a fresh idea to me since I had never played the first 3 games. This trailer was so badass to me mostly because of the music. lol

God of War was unlike anything I had played before. The insane combos, the fighting style that just destroyed everything your path, there just wasn't any action game like this before it. The Blades of Chaos were so innovative and made you feel almost unstoppable. Kratos showed no mercy and didn't fall prey to any traps that tried to appeal for pity. It instantly became my favorite single player game of all time, When I heard they were making a sequel I was glued to the computer screen hitting the refresh button on IGN's coverage of E3 waiting for the announcement to come.

Despite me losing interest in the actual game.

 

 

I also liked this one even though I have yet to play the first game.

Years ago I saw this trailer for a Berserk game and I was so excited to play it on to find out it would only be released in Japan:

 

 

And now that I'm current with the manga, I want to play that damn PS2 game even more.

 

 

My favorite trailer right now is for StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm:

 

 

I'm about to pre-order this game. StarCraft is so addicting.

Omg, berserk looked awesome, I understand the actual western market for a berserk game might be small, but any true fan would have bought 10 copies to ensure its release ;p

 

also i have pre ordered SC2 expansion, The story was fantastic

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess was one of the best games I've ever played, and I remember when the trailer came out for it.. the game looked so different from all previous zelda games.
