With a lot of the industry ditching the single player design philosophy and leaning heavier on live services, trailers have become somewhat of a dying art. Trailers are some of the most powerful marketing tools that when executed correctly can save even some of the most mediocre games (I'm looking at you Dead Island).
So gaff I wanted to look back at some of the best trailers of all time and nominate a winner through a poll and to do that here are the rules:
- You need to post at least one nomination with a video link if possible
- A game trailer can be ingame, live action or a cgi cinematic
- Once a specific trailer gets mentioned twice it will be considered a nominee and added to the poll
- You will then have to select up to two poll choices
- You can change your poll choices
- A game demo does not count as a trailer
I will continue updating the poll as you submit in your nominations. I will add and update the top 5 trailers according to your votes below. So far Gears of War - Mad World is in the lead.
#1 Gears of War - Mad World
#2 Metal Gear Solid 2 Sons of Liberty - E3 2000 Trailer
#3 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - Nintendo Switch Presentation
#4 Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Official Trailer
#5 Mass Effect 2 Launch Trailer
I have also added a few other trailers below just to refresh your memories and allow you to quote some.
