What is the greatest game trailer of all time?

[Colif]

Yes, it was cheaper to play a console game where you only paid once and not every play through... I think some devs now wish they could time travel and somehow charge you full price per play. The reduction in graphics was worth the cost. local video store let you rent a SNES game for $4 for a week, I think that was end of me playing arcades.

I didn't realize there were any after Dragon's Lair, but I quit going to arcades around this time because everyone started charging 50 cents per game. Plus, consoles basically caught up with arcade machines.

I remember one called Space Ace, or something like that. It worked just like Dragon's Lair, only it was more Sci-Fi. I also remember at least one that had real video on laserdisc, and it was like a Wild West gun fight game. It had a pistol in a holster, and you had to be the quicker draw.

Have you ever been to Myrtle Beach? There used to be an arcade that had a quickdraw game with you against an animatronic cowboy.

It's been 30 years since I've been there. I doubt if they had that back then. When I was a junior in high school, we used to live about an hour north of there in Wilmington, NC. So when we go to the beach, we usually go around that area because it's not nearly as overrun with tourists. My sister actually owns a condo in Kure Beach.

I've been a huge fan of Blizzard when it comes to making cinematic trailers for their games. Here's my favorite one:

And as a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls series, I'd say Skyrim trailer was freaking impressive. When the trailer first came out, it literally blew my mind.

This is the best. The Nintendo Power Glove. It's an awesome production, and then it cuts to a scene of him playing 8-bit Mario, making the 2D Mario jump by raising his hand. Lol

Imagine the resolution on the screen. Pixels would be blocks you couldn't not see. Its only about now you could have a screen that size.

its a 1st gen Pip boy with a glove on the end, They couldn't afford a big lcd in the early days.

i keep coming back to the arkham knight trailers.

for some reason it resonates with me. Maybe because i was seriously hyped about the Arkham series. i think it did a great job of showing the threat that the arkham knight and his private army presented it sort of made them a worthy adversary. Something more then just hired thugs and goons.

Oh and it looked like ingame footage as well.

just a shame that the game fell so short eh?

The best thing in all of this is that we're almost certain that we'll have a continuation of Mankind Divided: https://www.eidosmontreal.com/news/updates-to-our-terms-of-service-and-privacy-notice/. The acquisition of Deus Ex franchise by Embracer Group is one of the best things that could happen to the brand. There's one last game missing in the chain between new Deus Ex games and the original from 2000.

I'm not sure if this is the greatest trailer, but this is hands down the best game reveal ever, by far.

I don't think anyone expects the game to be like the cinematic trailer, but it gives directors and teams a place to show their work and skill.

Reminds me of 'One more thing…'

The trailer to the game The Book of Unwritten Tales (BOUT).
Simple but genious It‘s one of the very few trailers that convinced me to try out the game.

Edit: The Tutorial is btw also one of the most adorable ones I ever played!
