I don't know about you but there has been plenty of times I was extremely disappointed because of a trailer. Trailers tend to make video games look more realistic and flow more like a movie but when you get to the game it looks nothing like that. We've all been there and it sucks.
Sometimes there is the opposite effect though where the trailer is stupid and has nothing to do with the game. To our surprise the game ends up being pretty good. A great example of this in my opinion would have to the be Call of Duty MW3. Right before the release of the game, a trailer name the Vet Vs. the Noob was released featuring Sam Worthington, Jonah Hill and Dwight Howard. It simply just looks like they ran out of ideas on this one.
Glad you wrote about trailers again! Good work.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to do a survey of some kind to see what people think about tralers and games in general
