TA Top Five: Game Trailers

  • Posted on 08 December 13 at 11:29
    I can see why you chose the ones you did (especially Fallout 3, Bioshock: Infinite, Borderlands 2), but was a little disappointed some of my other favourites didn't get a mention:-
    Mass Effect 2's Launch Trailer; Skyrim's Teaser/Official trailer; Halo: Reach's Deliver Hope (full version); The Force Unleashed's initial 'reverse' trailer; Halo 3's E3 trailer; Dragon Age: Origins' Sacred Ashes…

    MW trailers are always fun, but best of, seems a little high. Dead Islands trailer is still awesome, and that game was a ton of fun as long as you had a friend. Though i do agree the game wasnt exactly what the trailer sold.

    I liked all the trailers in the list but i don't see why that Limbo trailer got an honorable mention, seemed a bit basic to me.

    The GOW trailer still send shivers down my spine. The first time I saw it I was in complete awe!

    I forget how good that RDR trailer is , what a game.

    I also thought the Dead island trailer flattered to deceive

    Woah woah wait a second. Youre saying the Halo 3 Midnight trailer isn't even in honorable mentions, let alone top 5? What a fkin joke.

    The gears of war trailer was what made me want an Xbox! Will always remember that trailer! Classic!

    The song made the Christmas number one as well I think?

    How the hell isn't the ME2 launch trailer here? It's the greatest trailer ever! Music: Check. Gameplay cutscenes: Check. Stirring dialogue: Check. I am most unimpressed cry

    I can't say I was impressed with the GoW trailer. It's only redeeming feature was the music; other than that, it's just another generic gameplay trailer.

    The Fallout 3 trailer too? It was just 2 minutes of a camera slowly zooming out of the back of a bus roll

    The only trailer I liked here was the Dead Island one...

    I adore the Halo 3 trailer, can't remember the name, but it's the one with him as a child with the girl in the grass. Just putting that shield down to block those blasts was amazing.
