StaceyPowers Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Do you feel that game trailers should always be for giving us a look at what a game will actually be like? Or do you also like more conceptual trailers? Knight Plug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight Barida Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 If a game trailer is not showing a bit of what to expect from a game, then there is no point for it at all. I wouldn't want to waste my time watching a game trailer that reveals nothing about the upcoming game. Knight Plug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpvr Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 It should preview some aspects of what the game will have but not everything. Just a sneak peak. Knight Plug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I find that a lot of the time, trailers are nothing like the game when you play it and that can leave you feeling disappointed as a gamer, especially if you had high hopes for the game releasing. I would love to see game trailers be more true to what the game will be like when we play rather than making it look like something it is not, obviously don't use a lot of what we will see in the game as that will spoil things but I feel we should see something that we expect to see when we finally get to play.

Shagger Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 A trailer's purpose is marketing, simple as that. The level of insight it offers may be helpful in determining if it's the kind of game one might be interested in, but they are not to be trusted. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - we've seen gaming companies use fake gameplay trailers before and when the real game came out, it wasn't anything like what was shown during the announcement or promotion of said videogame.

Knight Plug Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 So many game trailers are primarily cinematic, but show little or no gameplay. This tactic may work, but it's a game. Not a movie. People are gonna be curious as to what the game is like in terms of the controls, objectives, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennysplash Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 A trailer is like a glimpse of what you can expect from entertainment. It should be balanced, but showing too much that people would feel like they’ve seen it all and not showing too little to capture their interest.

JennyorAlice Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 I would think that the whole purpose of the trailer is to sell that particular game to the general public in order to entice as many people as possible to purchase their game. I would like to see a little more game play during the trailer to see what I'm getting into, especially now that games are at least $50 to $60 a pop these days. But I guess they don't want to give too much away in the trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I have with certain trailers is when they say gameplay trailers but it's still full of cutscenes and little to no actual gameplay like a regular trailer.

Yeah, I get that. That bugs me because I want to see more and I feel like they're just teasing me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lens Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Basicall, a game trailer should be like a sneak peek into what is expected on the game. It should give us a taste of what's actually to come and it should give a lot of hint of the gameplay too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 A trailer should take us on a wild ride and it must show us the vibe and the style of the game. It's more like a teaser and It should gets you more curious about the gameplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I prefer game trailers to showcase actual gameplay. Conceptual trailers can be intriguing, but they often mislead about the experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
