101 Best Video Game Trailers Ever Made: Page 2 of 9
12. Hitman – E3 2015 Trailer
Being the world’s top assassin isn’t all about sneaking into high security areas and poisoning someone’s drink; it also entails a strict regimen consisting of early morning runs in the blistering cold and waxing your head clean.
13. Just Cause 3 – “This is Just Cause 3”
Cinematics, story, and – most important of all – glorious gameplay demonstrations all come together to give you five minutes of pure joy. Total chaos has never been so inviting.
14. Metal Gear Solid V – E3 2015 Trailer
When you really think about it, Metal Gear Solid has one of the messiest, most convoluted storylines in the history of gaming. It is thanks to excellent video game trailers like this that we are reminded that no matter how silly things get, the franchise will always deliver on the action, the spectacle, and the drama.
15. Mirror’s Edge – “Catalyst” Announcement Trailer
Faith is back with more parkour, bullet-dodging, and much-needed backstory!
16. Mortal Kombat X – “It Has Begun!”
Our favorite ninjas get the current gen treatment, with cleaner looks as opposed to the previous iterations’ ‘90s comic book hero-inspired designs. To put it simply; they’re looking better than ever.
17. Rise of the Tomb Raider – E3 Gameplay Reveal
As much as we adore Rise of the Tomb Raider’s cinematic trailers, nothing beats a gameplay trailer that shows us the different, exciting locales the game will be set in. Not to mention those death-defying stunts will have you wondering if Lara Croft is just really lucky, or if she is secretly a cyborg with a higher-than-normal tolerance for pain.
18. Star Wars Battlefront – Reveal Trailer
There’s nothing like a good romp through Tatooine, Hoth, or Endor with 40 of your rebel or Empire friends. Make sure to bring your X-Wings or AT-ATs!
19. Street Fighter V – E3 2015 Trailer
Exquisite environment lighting and special effects make Street Fighter V a treat to watch, not to mention those new character models are looking mighty fine. While we’re also glad Cammy is back, it’s an even bigger surprise to see Birdie, who hasn’t been in a Street Fighter game since the Alpha days.
20. Total War: Warhammer – Announcement Cinematic Trailer
Sure, samurai, Roman legions, and the Huns are badass, but sometimes, you just want to raze the battlefield with good ole dragon fire. The Warhammer license injects a welcome dose of dark fantasy into the stellar franchise, so expect a transformation not unlike what the cleric in the trailer goes through. One of the best video game trailers, ever!
21. Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End – E3 2015 Trailer
This is more gameplay footage than trailer, but it’s really hard to tell, thanks to those brilliant graphics that make full use of the PlayStation 4’s power. It’s a high-speed vehicular chase rivalling even the most riveting Fast and Furious scenes, with plenty of moments that will have you asking, “why isn’t he dead yet?” Truly a spectacle of the highest order.
22. XCOM 2 – “Moment of Truth” Official Announcement Trailer
Twenty years after malevolent extraterrestrials take over our planet, things seem… normal, if a bit more future-y.
Until you see armed men and women lurking in the shadows... and a terrifying human/cobra hybrid? We’re more than intrigued – we want to play this game NOW!
