Can we agree that the recent Elden Ring trailer was probably the best game trailer ever?

[Dodgerfan74]

Good to see the Souls fandom already gearing up for "is ________ about Elder Ring the best ever?" Now that you seem to be able to jump, Elder Ring probably about to become the GOAT platformer on here.

 

[jaymzi]

It's great. One of the better ones in recent years.

But it ain't MGS2 E3 2000.

 

[Wolvesinthebathroom]

The last time I saw a trailer and got unreasonably Hyped was like the official Skyrim trailer like 10 years ago.

 

[Zeal543]

seems pretty standard to me tbh

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

The Cuphead on Switch announcement is my personal favorite:

 

[Theron]

It was an ok trailer but nothing I will remember in a few weeks time.

 

[Metaroo]

Best gaming trailer ever? Here you go.

jesus christ its so fucking good

 

[Dice]

I really loved it. I loved how much gameplay we saw, and I do wish more trailers were like it. It wasn't as showy, but since the previous one was, I like the opposite approach here.

I think there's more artful trailers, but I get the intent of what this one set to do.

But it ain't MGS2 E3 2000.

Hell yes, now we're fucking talking.

In retrospect, it's kind of amazing how spoilery that trailer was.
Lots of blink and you'll miss stuffs.

 

[Jencks]

Breath of the Wild trailer aand MGSV Nuclear trailers are the pinnacle. I'm not sure how anyone can top those two

EDIT: damn i forgot about the Silent Hill 4 Extended trailer. That is the peak but it's almost a short film so idk if it would even count

 

[Banzai]

Jesus christ take a step back and realise you're caught up in too much hype

 

[Bane]

 

[NediarPT88]

I love it and watched it plenty of times already.

But no.

 

[NabiscoFelt]

It's pretty good, but I wouldn't call it the best ever. My main feeling during the first watch was "yep, that's certainly a FromSoft game". I appreciated it more on subsequent watches but I do think it lacks a certain oomph factor

 

[Vommy]

The hype got to you OP

 

[RPGam3r]

Like I want the game, but the trailer was just Dark Souls with horses.

 

[Platy]

Not even in my top 50

examples of trailers that are better than Elden Ring:

Little big Planet trailer with Battles
Twilight Princess that ends with Miyamoto with a sword
THAT breath of the wild trailer
at least 1 trailer for each Assassin's Creed game
That Prince of Persia reboot trailer with SIA
The Pole Position Atari ad
Smash Bros Brawl ending with Snake
absolutely every character announcement from smash

 

[GameSeeker]

Not even close. A last-gen trailer, showing last-gen gameplay and last-gen graphics.

 

[DieH@rd]

OP, that's a hard no.


And the winner is of course this:

 

[SchuckyDucky]

Halo 3 announcement trailer.

Will always be the trailer that got me the most hyped....music cues and timing is everything

This another big one. I had only played a little Halo multiplayer at some friends' houses, but this trailer got me to buy Halo 3 with my Christmas money.

 

[SteveWinwood]

I swear some of you guys live in an alternative reality.

 

[Conditional-Pancakes]

Come on, we all know the best trailer ever is the Silent Hill 4 Extended one

Click to shrink...

Yeah! This one is very good! The Silent Hill franchise really knew how to make good, emotional trailers. RIP.

Remember this 2000 reveal trailer for Silent Hill 2? It's incredible.

 

[BusinessKong]

No. Solid trailer, but not even in my top 5. Glad it got you excited though.

 

[Deleted member 13188]

Oh no that poll. Lol.

It was good. It was a good trailer.

 

[henlo_birb]

The game looks great but from a trailer standpoint it isn't really anything special.

 

[Yerffej]

lol

 

[Watership]

I thought it was a fantastic trailer. Almost makes me want to suffer another souls game.

 

[killuglypop]

I guess, if you like From games. Metal Gear Solid 2, GTAV and BOTW were all better trailers

 

[Deleted member 6263]

I get people are excited, but lol no.

 

[AllBizness]

There's nothing special about that trailer I prefer the original actually.

 

[Sakon]

Not in a world where BOTW exists.

 

[BusinessKong]

God I still get choked up when the series theme kicks in toward the end.

 

[Quinton]

Not even remotely.

It's pretty cool but I don't at all grasp where these takes are coming from.

 

[Jump_Button]

Its a cross gen game for sure

 

[falcondoc]

not even close

 

[Rayasab]

Not really, it looked rough. My bet late 2022

 

[astro]

It is a bloody good trailer.

From 2:02 onward it gets so damn epic. I love how the music builds, then pulls back, then drops.

 

[Wrapped in Black]

Prisoner of the moment.

MGSV has the best trailers ever in my opinion.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

The Ace Combat trailers also kick the shit out of it imo

 

[Sei]

MGS 2 Trailer
Star Craft 2 Announcement
Original DNF Trailer

Hmm IDK.

 

[Risev]

It's not even the best trailer for a Soulsborne game.

 

[Z-Brownie]

cmon OP, i know you're hyped, but no

 

[PhazonBlazer]

This is an even lower percentage saying yes than in my Naruto Ghost of Tsushima poll

 

[Citizencope]

Lol NO
I'm sure the above has been said many times.

 

[IlGialloMondadori]

If I didn't love FROM already and know their legacy, I wouldn't have given it another though. Ugly graphics, etc.
it'll rock though.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Absolutely stunning.

 

[Nerokis]

It was fucking awesome. I'll be watching it again and again and again.

Best ever, tho? Didn't quite hit me like that, no.
