I hate modern video game trailers, and you should too. I rarely see a good new video game trailer these days and in this video I give 4.5 tips to making and evaluating awesome game trailers.

My favorite trailers are the Breath of the Wild trailers, and the Skyrim trailer. I kinda hate the new Tears of the Kingdom Zelda trailers.

  • I fully agree that BotW has the best trailer ever. The music is so good Nintendo didn't even put it in the game
  • @GX_Ethernal
    They get away with making these sorts of trailers because they have 5 million power on Rise of Kingdoms
  • Okay, now you have to make a follow up about the final TOTK trailer. It feels like a response to the bad trailers we've been getting.
  • @tarkile268
    The newest TotK trailer definitely was an improvement and took a similar approach to the BotW one. Super excited for the game now.
  • @petey5009
    Honestly the best part of the BotW trailer is that the music they used literally isn't in the game, they wrote it for the trailer which makes it fit perfectly
  • @GitGudWO
    the concept of an engaging trailer could also be applied to almost everything in life, the calm before the storm is very much needed in most aspects in life
  • @adithya260
    Nintendo took your critique personally and made a trailer to rival Botw 2017.
  • I love the DMC5 trailer. The way you get hit back to back by the words “Capcom” and “demons” only to have someone who looks like the reboot Dante only for it to be revealed to be Nero is such a fun rollercoaster of emotions for fans of DMC.
  • @fishjudge
    Sometimes I just re watch the botw trailer just so I can cry at how beautiful it is.
  • I genuinely still get chills even to this day when I rewatch the Breath of the Wild presentation trailer. It is unmatched brilliance. EDIT: Forget Breath of the Wild's presentation trailer, holy hell that new Tears of the Kingdom trailer is unmatched. Especially the score. It is a damn shame that score is almost certainly made solely for the trailer, because there are parts of it I would pay to have extended into a full track - that Jazz riff in particular.
  • @BlueJayYT
    For me, Bioshock, Portal 2, and any of the old Assassin's Creed trailers were peak Also, I'd through in GLaDOS's limited narration in the Portal 2 trailer as another example of good narration
  • Wonder if we'll get a follow up on his opinion after that new TotK trailer
  • @Jan12700
    Now I want the full vid about the BotW Trailer. It's also my favorite Trailer, even today when I watch it this Trailer is unreal for me how good it is.
  • Every time I watch the BOTW trailer I would genuinely cry because of how good the music and the transitions are. Which makes me sad because the trailer for the new BOTW game doesn't give me that feeling Edit: I saw the new trailer... I am very, very, very impressed 😁
  • Game trailers are so cringe Nintendo : fine we will do it again releases totk trailer 3
  • The new TOTK trailer feels like a true successor to the BOTW one ngl
  • One of the trailers that I love the most is a fan trailer of Disco Elyisum. Half of the reason why is because the music is just so damn cool, and the moments that the creator uses in the trailer is just so fitting of the tone for the game as well.
  • @Blandy8521
    With Dead Cells the effort they put into the animated trailer is what made me want to get the game
