Hi all,

Just creating this thread so that it gives an understanding of what kind of trailers the fans prefer. I believe when it comes to games trailers are the most important part of marketing.

 

There is also the issue of Cinematic trailers vs in engine trailers. I know many people have issues with either one of them. I personally don't mind as long as its a well made trailer.

 

That being said I was a little disappointed with the kind of trailers bioware put out with Dragon Age: Inquisition. Some of them were good but most of them were a bit under whelming. What do you guys think? 

I hope this thread helps bioware in deciding what kind of trailers fans liked the best.

 

My top five bioware trailers of all time are

 

1] Dragon age origins - Sacred ashes trailer

 

 

2] Mass Effect 2 launch trailer (The best music I have ever heard in a trailer)

 

3] Swtor Cinematic trailers (The 3 part trailers)

The Mass Effect 2 launch trailer was easily my favorite. Heart of Courage was the perfect song for that game.

...

Damn, now I need to do another playthrough.

**** Shit ****. Forgot about this one!!!

This seriously is such an underrated game. This game has one of my favorite soundtracks in videogames....

[Obliviousmiss]

The Mass Effect 3 Reinstated trailer with Femshep is my fave.

 

Followed closely by the DAI Trespasser trailer. I SQUEEEEEED. I was watching their conference on Twitch so I saw it before it hit youtube. The hype was real.

- All the TOR ones, specially KOTFE (my favourite trailer of ALL TIME)
- The DA2 one

Well... I (and many others) saw it even before twitch, since Spanish team leaked it 

 

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition.

 

 

 

...

I had to.

I'd say, within context, prior to the game's release, my favorite would be (well, still is) Dragon Age: Inquisition's The Enemy of Thedas trailer.

 

The combination of the trailer's music (especially when the trailer starts), the scenery (at the beginning, followed by the explosion) and because the first thing we hear is " Tell me, where is your Maker now. Call him. Call down his wrath upon me. You cannot, for he does not exist! ". I genuinely felt at the time that we would be facing one of the greatest antagonist of all time. In fact, I was hyped thanks to the impression I got from that trailer, thinking that BioWare had given the DA franchise its ultimate villain. One who - above all things - seems to know more than just pretend (by the sound of it) that the Maker doesn't even exist (within the DA's lore, at least in my book, was a pretty big deal). I could not wait to play that game.

 

Turned out to be a pretty solid game, with one of the weakest antagonist I've ever seen in any game, and arguably the most disappointing one from BioWare to date. That's what trailers can do when they're well crafted. It also reminded me a bit of Revenge of the Sith's trailer, it did reveal a bit too much, but oh boy did it give a completely different vibe compared to the two previous movies (but we all know how that one turned out too, heh). Good job on that one BioWare, 'cause if you wanted to build hype with it, you managed.

5) SWTOR Hope trailer (all SWTOR trailers were spectacular though)

 

4) Mass Effect 2 Cinematic trailer (Miranda looks so much better there than in the game)

 

3) Dragon Age: Origina Sacred Ashes trailer

 

2) N7 day VO thanks video (not sure if this counts as a trailer but it was such a nice thing to do)

 

1) Mass Effect 2 launch trailer (this one still gives me goosebumps when watching it, whoever put this one together was a genius in the art of emotional manipulation. ).

 

 

 

Honorary mention goes of course to TIM Skijwalkers MEHEM trailer, hahaha (...yea, I'll go now. But honestly, whatever you may think of the mod, his trailer is well made. ).

[aoibhealfae]

All four SWTOR's cinematic trailers

They're not exactly trailer since they're technically prequels movies.

 

and Dragon Age 2's trailer

because Nicholas Boulton... *swoon*...

[Vigilance97]

 

So good.

[Prince Enigmatic]

I have a Mass Effect 3 trailer bias 

 

 

I also audibly screamed, gasped, cried at the Citadel DLC trailer. It broke me for a day.

 

 

Mass Effect 2's were awesome too (Two Steps From Hell  )

[Jeremiah12LGeek]

I have never seen a BioWare trailer.

You had to didn't you     

[N7Jamaican]

I remember graduating high school and being off that summer and seeing this all over IGN and GameSpot.  This was what got me interested in ME1.

I didn't pay attention that long back.. because I wasn't an Xbox fan yet. I was kinda jealous though, if only because I was a Kotor fan and ME was gonna be an exclusive at first.

 

I didn't get an Xbox or Mass Effect until 2009, right before ME2.. It was the ME2 trailers that pushed me.

Imagine the horror if it would have been an exclusive

You had to didn't you     

 

I only really realized it when I saw the thread.

 

Now that I have thought about it, I've only ever seen a few video game trailers, but none for BioWare*.

 

The only one I can remember having an opinion about was the first trailer for GTA IV, which was a satire/homage to Koyaanisqatsi (mostly as an exercise in showing off the engine's rendering of the cityscape.) I thought that was pretty cool, but that, of course, ended up having no relationship with my opinion of the game.

 

 

 

*Not counting "Honest Game Trailers," which I watch after I've played the game.

[BioWareM0d13]

SWTOR's trailers, by far. 

 

 

From 2:15 is one of the series' best lightsaber duels, and it's in a trailer.

[Furisco]

I would say Mass Effect 3 Launch trailer but people already talked about this one

 

Take Earth Back was

 

[MrFob]

Oh, btw, I completely forgot about these but I also really liked the ME3 live action trailers. This one and this one.

 

They may not necessarily have been the best trailers but I really liked them because they showed the universe from more of a civilian angle.
