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!

Maldread4007d 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!

SuperLupe4006d 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.

showtimefolks4006d 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.

TotalHitman4007d ago

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

medman4006d ago (Edited 4006d 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.

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.

RockmanII74006d ago

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

Neonridr4006d 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_51504006d 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

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil21h ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai15h ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle1h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II - PC Wore it Better

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle-earth II was an intriguing and unique RTS title, that sadly suffered in its console port.

dadavis199212h ago

Was just thinking about this game and wishing I had a way to revisit it. The way EA scrubs these titles from existence once their licensing runs out is horrid.

Michiel19891h ago

there is a client made by modders and it also works online.

kevco331h ago

Indeed. The game can still be played online on PC.

Xbox 360 players, though? Bang outta luck.
