10 Best Video Game Trailers of All Time

There's no argument that many games rival big-budget movies now in terms of production, and just like the movies, they know that you've got to use a little sizzle to sell the steak. The art of the game trailer has progressed in ways we never could have imagined, and today we celebrate the best of the best.

Metal Gear Solid 2's premier E3 2000 trailer. Hands Down. WOW!

Maldread4014d ago

Definately agree. I was so mindblown when i saw this trailer, i couldn`t believe what i was seeing.

The extremely detalied graphics, insane weather effects and environment with the potathos rolling out as the guards was shooting at Snake, was just unseen at that point and set a new standard for games to come.

I can`t think of any game i`ve been more excited about than MGS2 after i saw that trailer.

I think the first footage of Half life 2 and the Killzone 2 E3 2005 video also was insanely good.

Hope they can get the same intensity in Killzone Shadow Fall with all of the action and shouts that was in that video :)

They need that first Last of Us trailer on this list badly. the one that ended with the shotgun to the face. EPIC!

SuperLupe4014d ago

Agree with you guys concerning MGS2.

And that is that "wow factor" factor that was missing with the games shown at the PS4 reveal (I say PS4 because we havent seen the 720 yet).

I wish next gen can make my jaw drop like the MGS2 trailer did. I mean you could completely feel that you were in an advanced gen.

showtimefolks4014d ago

For me dues ex human revolution had the best trailers with most compelling short stories or story previews

MGS as always is top notch

Dead island yes but when games are so disconnected from trailer which are so emotionally filling to game which is a lot of fun but extremely generic story wise

Uncharted 2-3 had some pretty good ones

Killzone 2 how could it not be included lol

Lack of Assassin's Creed or Deus Ex is dissapoint.

TotalHitman4014d ago

Agreed. The title of the article should be, "10 Best Video Game Trailers of All Time IMO." The list is crap.

medman4014d ago (Edited 4014d ago )

The Mass Effect 2 "fight for the lost" trailer was excellent. And Gears of War Mad World. And also, by the way, the Old Republic trailer is perhaps the best thing to exist in the entirety of mankind's history. Except for twizzlers.

RockmanII74014d ago

It's not high budget or majestic or anything, but I'll always be partial to the original Super Smash Bros trailer.

"Get N or get out" lol

But yeah I liked when they did that isn't a trailer, it's an advertisement.

RockmanII74014d ago

What's the difference between a trailer and an advertisement?

Neonridr4014d ago

a trailer is something that showcases the game for the first time. Imagine a movie trailer, if you will. An advertisement is more like a commercial you would see on TV.

Y_51504014d ago

Both of them advertise something. I was wrong, a trailer is a form of an advertisement. But the video you showed us was a TV commercial. That commercial doesn't fit in the category of trailers. TV Spots are...Ok enough of me being stupid! Advertisements, Tv Spots, trailers, Commercial, and Promotions are all words with generally the same meaning! XP

Dead Island in he start it's not animation....music was great...and the gorrrrr....

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg9h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv729h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast11h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood10h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK8h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

gold_drake6h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.
