We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

It’s more of an intro than a trailer, but Left 4 Dead.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvOGCZPDv7g

Not only does it tie into one of the campaigns (you literally start on the same rooftop it ends at), it’s like a tutorial:
- move carefully when you hear a Witch
- don’t point flashlights at a Witch
- watch your teammates back
- use a pipebomb when a horde of zombies comes charging at you
- don’t wander from the group, or a Hunter will pounce you
- avoid triggering car alarms
- when you see a Tank run AND shoot

I never saw anything for this because I never got into the MGS games. The plots and names always sounded really confusing and convoluted, and stealth games that punish you for killing enemies never really scratched my gaming itch. However, Revengeance looks to be extremely my poo poo.

Revengeance is both the best Metal Gear game and the best Platinum game and everyone should play it. It's like 5 bucks on sale these days.

yep, the left 4 dead intro is a brilliant method of teaching game mechanics while also being a fantastic introduction to the setting.

Also has one of the best doggos in videogames

Subnautica has an absolutely fantastic cinematic trailer. It's an unorthodox one that tells the story of the people aboard the Degassi, a ship that crashed on the planet years before you do, and people whose story you can follow as you explore the planet and is just a drat beautiful trailer, both visually and honestly story-wise. The game itself does look nice, for sure, and has some of the best water in games, but I do wish I could explore the Subnautica that looks like this trailer:

Man, subnautica is so good. The story is shockingly good, too, considering it's a survival game.

Holy poo poo how could I forget, MGR's soundtrack is also dynamic, so that during pivotal moments in a boss fight, the lyrics kick in. It's one of the best parts of an already great game

Despite being the worst of the "core" series the TRAILER for Silent Hill 4 is goddamn amazing.

Likewise, despite being a lame game, the Wahammer: Mark of Chaos made for a really swank trailer.

The studio that created it is Digic Pictures, and they must be proud of it because they still put a very quick shot of it in their demo reel for 2014 (Mark of Chaos was released near the end of 2006).

Hearthstone, being a card game, doesn’t have the most visually interesting gameplay. You can’t really make a compelling trailer out of people playing cards, bumping tokens into each other, and hitting the End Turn button. However, the flip side of this is that it’s a good excuse to make a nice cinematic trailer, and boy do I love the trailers that announce each Hearthstone expansion.

The tralier for Mean Streets of Gadgetzaan is probably the best. It has a catchy theme song, it gets across the tone of the expansion, and it even introduces the factions the expansion is based around.

My other favorites are the ones for Whispers of the Old Gods and The Boomsday Project.

You don't need to know anything about MGS to understand and enjoy MGR: Revengeance. I would just brush up on who Raiden is, since the game kinda-sorta assumes you know his deal and doesn't do a fantastic job of explaining his backstory when relevant (though it does try); past that, every single character and plot element in MGR is unique to that game, and they explain as much as you need to know.

With that said, though, the gameplay of the other games isn't quite how you figured; you only get punished for killing people on high difficulty levels, and on the standard one, silently murdering the gently caress out of everybody is usually preferable to trying to ghost an area. You might actually kinda dig Twin Snakes, 2, or 3 if you try them (do not play the original on PS1, it's aged like loving milk).

They just released a masterful trailer for Banjo and Kazooie's addition to Smash Bros that perfectly plays on the feelings of everyone hoping for him, made even better because earlier in the Nintendo Direct she's this appeared they had a trailer for yet another sword-wielding JRPG character (albeit one with pretty unique looking mechanics).

smash is a fun game and the ultimate character trailers have been top notch. definitely pay close attention to the k-rool and banjo ones in regards to, like, when donkey and diddy mush up against the window to look outside, stuff like that. they're really clearly made with as much love for the characters as possible, it's great. banjo also appears to have his japanese style, I remember seeing when "most requested" lists came up around ultimate's reveal, that banjo was weirdly popular in japan. I don't know if the game did really well over there but I have definitely seen a fair amount of anime-styled(in the cartoony anime animal sense, like doraemon) banjo merch like manga from back when B-K was still in stores.

it's also great looking at reaction videos from youtubers when the dragon quest dude got revealed and being like "OH NO IS THIS ANOTHER FIRE EMBLEM GUY" because dragon quest isn't a massive series in the west like it is in japan and lots of them are way too young to remember the original DQ, Dragon Warrior. his abilities look rad though, definitely more unique than "hits really hard with sword" like a lot of the FE sword users, he's more of a link-type.

I never did end up buying it, but I remember the Firewatch trailer being really well-known for that cliffhanger at the end (and surely enough, it stuck with me!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZX3MgsRb0A

The Subnautica trailer had a similar cinematic feel as well: does a good job of hooking you, giving you a good idea of the gameplay summary by teasing instead of spoiling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtP8r8nRfko
