With the launch of the PS4
and the XboxONE Patrick looks at some of his favourite game trailers.
Hey guys! I love trailers and games have trailers, so I dedicated this
Trailer Park to Game Trailers. Enjoy.
WARNING: This is based on
Trailers, not game play or any other factors.
10. Assassin’s Creed:
Brotherhood
It is all about atmosphere. Plus it looks class and if one Assassin is
cool, then a Brotherhood is obviously badass. Trust me, this trailer is
brilliant.
9. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
It shows you flashes of great game play, highlights all the gadgets and
cool fire power. The soundtrack is AC/DC’s Back
in Black. Want more? Now you’re selfish.
8. Heavy Rain
Short and sweet, bit no less effective. This game changed the way the
gamers saw games and game play. Totally immersive, it’s a world where your decisions
impact the story. This really is interactive story telling at its best.
7. Max Payne 3
Why I like this trailer is because it gives you a progression on the
character of Max Payne while giving us a nod to his past. This shows you a Max
on the edge, Man who is going to go all out War on the bad guys, the exact
thing you want from these games. So the ripped off Man On Fire… who cares!
6. Mass Effect 3
Similar to Halo and Gears of War this one is all about atmosphere. Here the
tag line is “Take Back the Earth”. Mass Effect 3’s trailer makes you want to
try.
5. Star Wars Old Republic
Again it’s the graphics the storyline, it’s everything that makes this a
great trailer. It seems so cinematic. Makes you wonder why George Lucas didn’t
make these into movies.
4. Batman Arkham
City
This trailer shows us Batman fighting a SWAT team. For what? We don’t
know. We hear a voice about how Batman beat them all. It’s slightly confusing
but the end reveal is brilliant and not to mention the stunning graphics which
almost make it seem real.
3. Halo 3
The trailer is different and advertises this game in a unique way. It’s
this uniqueness that makes it memorable. Hence: on the list.
2. Halo Reach Trailer
Glorious graphics, melancholic overtone and the sense that this could be
a movie. Halo Reach leaves you wanted to know more and wanting to play the game.
With shades of epic war movies but with a gaming and intergalactic twist this
trailer lets you know, Halo Reach= epic.
1. Gears of War Trailers
1-3
The reason that the GoW band
gets the top place and why the trailers for all 3 games are here for one simple
reason: Epic. They are the trailers that brought the level of marketing up to
the level of Blockbusters. Totally melancholic, totally epic, bath in the trailers
that tell their own story, one of hope, sacrifice and above all, loss.
Patrick's Themed Trailer Parks will return when needed most.
