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.
No Man’s Sky trailers for updates are pretty good. Always watch them even if I don’t play it much. All gameplay, great transitions, great background music.
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.
One of my favorite tracks on the OST, and I love how they’ve synced all the cuts to the music. It’s a fantastic sizzle reel showing off little bits and pieces of everything that’s cool in this game.

The Satisfactory trailers
The original Overwatch trailer. https://youtu.be/FqnKB22pOC0?si=1sxRLaaGeP4d0l-r
RIP :c
The cinematic trailers for OG Guild Wars.
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.
No Man’s Sky trailers for updates are pretty good. Always watch them even if I don’t play it much. All gameplay, great transitions, great background music.
the Portal trailer is very good.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity had one of the best trailers of all time, and it will take something truly special to dethrone it from my personal nr 1.
Mirrors edge
Battlefield 1
https://youtu.be/Mr8fVT_Ds4Q
The undeniable top spot has to go to the Battlefield 1 trailer, which stands at 74m views over the last 8 years.
The Halo 3 Believe trailer is up there as well.
A personal favorite of mine is the God of War: Ascension Super Bowl Ad
Honorable mention goes to a really solid recent trailer as well is the one for the long-awaited release of Satisfactory 1.0
FFVIII or Silent Hill
Nothing will ever top the Modern Warfare 2 Infamy trailer.
Imagine it is 2009 and you have no idea what the future of COD looks like, no clue what is going to happen in MW2, and you see this trailer.
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.

CrossCode - Console Release Date Trailer
One of my favorite tracks on the OST, and I love how they’ve synced all the cuts to the music. It’s a fantastic sizzle reel showing off little bits and pieces of everything that’s cool in this game.
