just out of curiosity, could you provide a example for a first trailer that got you excited for a game? |
To name a few:
FFversus XIII. Final Fantasy XIII, Zelda: Twilight Princess, Pokemon Battle Revolution (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djMyzIiYENo), MSG4, Cyberpunk 2077, Assassins creed Revelations, Beyond 2 Souls.
For me a reveal trailer has to do one of these things very well: highlight gameplay or potential gameplay elements(zelda, pokemon, FFXIII), Engage you with a preview of compelling characters or story (Beyond2souls/MSG4), simply be stylish and aesthetically beautiful (versus XIII/Cyber punk)or alternatively evoke WTF reactions.
I was not moved by the trailer because there appeared to be no narrative for me to be enaged by, just random scenes. No character insight, just anime charcter with overblown expressions. No concrete gameplay concept layed out, exept for the fight at the end, but it was too generic to gauge anything worth getting excited about. Also not particularly cool or amazing, reiforced by the fact that there was no sound effects to create impact or dialouge, just that very lame musical score. I was most excited at the beginning with the portroyal of modern Japan with the artstyle, there onwards it becomes a generic mess IMO. But I trust in Sony Japan, hence why I said the trailer looks like trash and not the game :)
