Trailers that made you think "I have to get this game".

Yet another topic telling me that I need to buy Mirror's Edge. Alright guys, you win.
It can be had for a song nowadays, and it's well worth the time to try it out for yourself. Just don't be afraid to go ahead and use guns in the combat scenarios if you have to; I still prefer the hand-to-hand action.

But the senses of flow and momentum are still nigh unmatched by any game I've played in the past few years.

Reveal trailers for Twilight Princess and FF XIII. Ended up loving them both as well.

On the other end. I had the effect that I had to have Metal Gear Solid, the hype didn't pan out like I hoped it would based on the trailer.

I saw a trailer for GT3 with cars racing around a track, and then the guy stopped and switched his engine off to look at the view.
For some reason that trailer made me part-ex over £1000 worth of Dreamcast stuff to get a PS2 with GT3.
Afterwards I missed my Dreamcast, so yeah... big mistake.
 
The FFX trailer was so amazing to me that I not only bought the game, I bought a PS2 so that I could play it. The game did not dissapoint.

No, but video game trailers in general are much better and more professionally done.

Of course but seeing NO games before 2000 almost? I mean trailers can be good, if I don't like what I see of the game what's the point?

If Gears of War trailer is artistic, costs a lot and is made by a great director its cool but it doesn't change that this game is absolutely not interesting and never piqued my interest.
 
Bad Company 2 + Queens Of The Stone Age? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atKRHQI8RKs

I closed my web browser, opened steam and bought the goddamn game within a second.

Even though this isn't a trailer for one particular game, it's the best fan tribute trailer I've ever seen. It perfectly captures the essence of why Mario is gaming's most iconic franchise.

I love this video.

How the fuck did I miss that one... it's........ perfect! :O
 
In this thread, publishers read on how to create the best trailer EVER!

In the spirit of the thread, though, Monster Hunter for PS2.

"What the hell is HOLY MOTHERFUCKER OF GOD!"

...and then it kept getting better...
 
Fuck, man. Too bad Valve didn't create the Halo IP. The story and presentation, at the very least, would have never gone to shit.

But the gunplay would have sucked, ruining the whole point of the game
 
I saw a COD4 trailer showing how perks worked. I got up, got in my car and went and bought it. I was not disappointed. I played that game so damned much.....
