• Halo 3- Believe

God, comparing these trailers to Halo 5's trailers is just sort of disappointing. I miss the trailers being actually full of emotion and gave you chills and not just being spartans showing off. I hope 343 makes the next trailers as good as these ones.

One of the things that bothered me about Halo trailers is that they always portray the games as grim and dark with the Covenant being portrayed as scary, ruthless creatures, but in the actual games, they act like villains from a comic book or something. I really hope that some day, they'll be able to bring that atmosphere to the games.

Believe was cool and all, but Halo 3 is personified by this commercial (besides the fact the Believe was a commercial that lied).

[QUOTE=SpaceDiggle;49356398][video=youtube;x0npQ6sdbqw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0npQ6sdbqw[/video] Fantastic trailer. I still get shivers whenever I see this when entering the game. The great opening theme really helps deliver the action and the atmosphere of the trailer[/QUOTE] That and Vietnam are two trailers that bring back many good memories. Vietnam is still my favorite battlefield game to this day. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JjI-hTlIVw[/media]
[video=youtube;SQ5MvEXsG8M]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ5MvEXsG8M[/video] Like basically all of the Halo ones, Haze's E3 trailer is one of the few that gives me goosebumps every time.
[QUOTE=codemaster85;49353638]i want another WiC dammit[/QUOTE] At this point, I think the only way we'll ever get another WiC is through modding a game like ARMA because that's the only way I could see an actual WiC, much like the RTS. Either that or a SWBattelfront 2 styled game.
[QUOTE=Swilly;49354133]Jesus Fuck. Looking back. Halo 3 came out in 2007. Orange Box, 2007. Mass Effect. 2007. World in Conflict, 2007. The original Witcher.

Gears of War had some pretty good trailers. [video=youtube;M-2AjBSxU88]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-2AjBSxU88[/video] [video=youtube;f3f4dhW9jFo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3f4dhW9jFo[/video] [video=youtube;SLCNTRJ0IXw]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLCNTRJ0IXw[/video]
[QUOTE=TornadoAP;49354259]Oh fuck how could I forget the Wolfenstein Announcement trailer. [video=youtube;p9vXzCV4g4s]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p9vXzCV4g4s[/video] God damn this is so good. The assembly line for Wachroboters put to the tune of Jimi Hendrix.... I'm seriously not even sure how I forgot about it. In fact just the entire line of Wolfenstein trailers were really fucking good and well put together.[/QUOTE] I'm actually still modestly disappointed that we didn't get a part of the game where you have to fight directly through an onslaught of robots on a rainy bridge in London, with or without that song I feel kinda bad for Jimi because it's pretty unlikely that he would've appreciated having his music used for this sort of power fantasy business, it's just that his songs make [I]really good war music.

The perfect game to poke fun at all of the other shooters around at the time.

If there's one thing you can't fault DICE for is their trailers.

That's why BC2 made a counter-ad, to mock them for thinking it was a good idea. As a resident of the general Philly area I was pretty disappointed

[video=youtube;O7a1GVlC9SM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7a1GVlC9SM[/video] I've always loved this one. [editline]22nd December 2015[/editline] The Fallout 4 Launch trailer was fucking amazing. [video=youtube;X5aJfebzkrM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5aJfebzkrM[/video]

To me it just felt like the most cold, efficient, soulless hype machine there could be. I remember loving the hell out of the NV E3 trailer, though. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yizebU9ak4[/media] Edit: Actually I forgot the SPECIAL videos, they were pretty good. To be honest, it was mostly just the way they handled their E3 presentation that set me the wrong way.

[QUOTE=lonefirewarrior;49369951]I love the Metro series, but how can a modern game have such ugly pre-rendered CG?[/QUOTE] Because they're in game assets
That doesn't mean shit when a huge chunk of games use in-game assets in their pre-rendered trailers. Those Gears of War, Crysis 2 and that Mass Effect trailers posted earlier being good examples.
