Top 5 Trailers of This Generation

Loot Ninja writes:

"Who doesn’t love a high quality trailer? Getting hyped up for a game based on a killer video has a special place in all gamers’ hearts. In the course of this console generation, there have been some terrific trailers and those that just sucked ass. Who cares about the latter — we want to show you our top 5 trailers of this generation. We spent a good deal of time whittling down the list to those that we really loved — ones that we watched over and over both before a game’s release and after. What are you waiting for? Get watching"

The DC Universe online was pretty good too...

drunkpandas5281d ago

Agreed, however we considered that really a cinematic instead of a trailer (if that's the one you're referring to?)

Yi-Long5280d ago

... the trailer for the first Assassin's Creed was amazing (music: Lonely Soul)

Raendom5280d ago

Resistance 3 was my fave.

Charmers5280d ago

I can't believe they missed out the Mass Effect 2 launch trailer :-

That is one of the best launch trailers I have ever seen.

drunkpandas5280d ago

That was definitely on our list of "maybes", but didn't make the cut.

The Meerkat5280d ago

That trailer gives me goose bumps.

I even have the music from it as my alarm clock in the morning.

Just thinking, Did MGS4 have any decent trailers? I remember how awesome MGS2's ones were but MGS4's ones I can't remember. Must go and do research.

drunkpandas5280d ago (Edited 5280d ago )

We looked into MGS4 trailers, but most of them were more along the lines of demos and cutscenes. We tried to stay with traditional trailers. If we expanded it to demos and custscenes, the Raiden trailer from MGS4 where he fights Vamp would have definitely made the list.

Ducky5280d ago (Edited 5280d ago )

The MGS4 cinematic (story) trailer was... cool.

Or well, I thought it was cool... I watched it again and it was so cheesy for some reason.
I don't know if there's anyone out there besides Kojima who can take a plot such as MGS (which is laughable on paper) and turn it into such a serious and well-directed way that you don't even notice the oddities.

No DeusEx or AssAssins Creed though? =(

EDIT: Here's the MGS4 one I was talking about. =/
Not as cool as the watermelon-ending trailer.

drunkpandas5280d ago

Deux Ex wasn't considered for being last gen (other than the new one, which, while good, wasn't a finalist for consideration).

Both AC and AC2 were considering, but ultimately didn't make the Top 5.

OllieBoy5280d ago

The recent Killzone 3 Story Trailer is one of the best I've ever seen.

Project: Horned Owl Review

From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
