I have rewatched MGSV trailers multiple times, and I find this combination of 5+ minutes videos with scenes and music building the right atmosphere to be amazing. The other thing is, that for some, they created fake expectations of what story was going to be about.
Death Stranding first trailer is also great, it’s just one scene from the game, and you have no slightest idea what’s going on.
I always enjoyed the Portal 2 trailers with Cave Johnson
How did no one say this yet? Duke Nukem Forever E3 2001 trailer
Live the dream.
The Battlefield 1 trailer.
I had never played a Battlefield game, and that trailer got me pumped enough to buy it at launch. Also, WWI was such an interesting (and horrifying) war.
I like the ones that turn into tiny houses
The trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution has to be one of my favorites
Such a great game, and such a shame we’ll probably never get to play the conclusion to its story.
Fallout 4’s announcement trailer still gives me chills. Shame the game itself never lived up to it.

Both of the Halo 3 and Halo Reach trailer campaigns were fantastic
Yeah my vote would be pretty much any live-action Halo trailer, especially from Halo 3 and ODST.
Came here to say this. The Halo ODST and Halo 3: Believe trailers have always been favorites of mine.
Here are a few that stuck in my mind throughout the years:
- FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn - End of an Era - even for someone completely uninterested in FFXIV this thing went hard. Heck, re-watching it now still gives me chills.
- Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days - War Junkie - I love the contrast between the rough and shitty situation of a dude who can’t let go of criminal life compared to a psychopath who managed to get his life together.
- Leviathan: Warships Jazzy Trailer with Jazz Boatman - smooth and sultry, like a boat (I don’t know what this suppose to mean but the trailer is great).
Gears of War. You know the one.
And Dead Island.
Trailers for the games I have played:
- Skyrim
- The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild
haven’t played
- Death Stranding
- Death Stranding 2
- Fallout 4
The cinematic trailers for OG Guild Wars.
The most excited I have ever been for a trailer was when I saw an ad for Secret of Mana on TV; and it’s entirely because it was the first time I ever saw a video game advertised on TV and not just in magazines.
The supreme commander trailer.
