I was thinking the other day about the Super Smash Brothers: Melee trailer (the one that was basically the intro to the game that they showed at E3) and it got me thinking about my favourite game trailers.
I realise that there is currently some backlash at how game designers portray games (*cough* AC:U) and how they are often accused of lying and whatnot, but sometimes a really good trailer is a really good trailer, so i thought we could post our favourites?
Obviously the one i mentioned above:
I remember that this trailer was included on a DVD of E3 games that got released with NGC magazine. I think i had the Melee one on repeat for about 6 months. It's just a perfectly crafted hype-gasm.
Another sequel, but i think that just adds to the anticipation factor. The first Borderlands game was fantastic, and when i heard there was going to be another one, i got very excited indeed. Then i saw the above trailer, and bits of my face fell off.
I've never actually played Dead Island, it's just not my kind of game. However, the initial trailer was a brilliant piece of 3 minute story-telling. Not sure if the game lived up to the hype, but i don't really care.
What say you? Any to add?
