Best GameTrailers of 2019?

I think that would take a detrimentally long time to produce.

I guess I’m too late, but this was my favourite trailer of the year: Launch trailer for World of Warcraft Classic - A Toast to 15 Years https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCn14KLCerY

It's already been mentioned, but I give another shoutout to the No More Heroes Trailer at the Game Awards.

Thank you, Patrons! What a collection of amazing stuff to watch! I need to start wrapping up my research so I'm going to cut off the list for now. Feel free to keep making suggestions and discussing this year's most kick ass trailers, but don't feel bad if your picks don't make the list past this point. L&R! - Jones

Without question: Hellblade II https://youtu.be/vvKQ7eTGXns

Hellblade 2, hands down. Just got full body goosebumps while listening to that Heilung track again. https://youtu.be/2TR0gaG01do

I think it is Breath of the Wild 2’s E3 trailer. It created a lot of hype, but also mystique and that helped it become ok of the major talking points at gaming’s biggest show. People were excited and speculating for hours what it could all mean. There were even artifices devoted to explaining what Zelda’s shorter hair could mean. So in creating so much hype, excitement and mystery, it achieved what all trailers aspire to do, which for me makes it the best trailer of the year. https://youtu.be/3fr1Z07AV00

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice [Launch Trailer] - I love the escalation and sense of drama in this trailer, with really clever visuals and editing that are true to the game, and it's complemented by a tone and licensed song choice that's quite tasteful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXMX4YJ7Lks Apex Legends: [Season 3 Launch Trailer] - A really exciting and brilliantly animated short film-style trailer that cleverly highlights the new gameplay elements (the new map, new playable character, and new weapon), but is written and edited so sharply that there's a lot more to gleam from these lovable characters even in the trailer's brief under-3-minute run time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEAWC9eK1Ts The Last of Us Part II [Release Date Trailer] - Even if the actual release date justifying this trailer's existence didn't pan, the mystique and intrigue that this trailer prods and stirs is undeniable. We get a grander sense of the game's overall story and themes, some quick glimpses of horrifying new gameplay sequences, and that wonderfully bold shot of a shirtless Ellie, illustrated in complete silence, enduring a litany of post-tragedy wounds and scars. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II5UsqP2JAk

As a long time Halo fan, the E3 2019 Halo Infinite trailer was my favorite trailer of 2019. The introduction of a charming new character lost in space on his stranded pelican gave a somber tone. Until all of a sudden, we are hit with a "signal detected". When the pilot ran over to respond to the signal, he wipes his hand over the frosted over window to see Master Chief. Everything about this reveal was perfect! From the music cues and sound effects, to the style of Master Chief's armor, everything looks like classic Halo in next gen. fashion! This Halo Fan is very happy with Halo Infinite so far! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtgzKBrU1GY

I really liked the Astral Chain reveal trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brmmV3g4qqo

I second Hellblade 2 as the best trailer. Also good: Warframe: Good use of muisc and colors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DObN_3ha6M Watch Dogs Legion: showd the concept of "play anyone" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbokXaPTk38 Cybepunk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIcTM8WXFjk

ELDEN RING - E3 ANNOUNCEMENT TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lls6Gdua_XY Don't tell me you don't see it. Still getting goosebumps from the narration and I think in some ways it's simplicity sets it apart.

Everwild from Rare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWpcUH-tKEU&feature=emb_title

The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr - Official E3 Cinematic Trailer https://youtu.be/Mo50aybqlak TBH, I don't care for the game, but boy does this trailer do everything right to tell you what the content of the DLC will be, and what kind of experiences you'll have in the game, while standing as it's own piece of media. I've watched this trailer multiple times just for the sheer tension and detail to the expressiveness of its characters. Game be damned, this trailer? It's one of the greats, and is the standout trailer from 2019.

Final fantasy vii e3 trailer started with that amazing zoom out of midgar and it's really stuck with me this entire year. More so than any other trainer. The diablo 4 trailer just because I was ready to write off that game. But blizzard just has a way with their openings that I find enthralling.

Apes a Plenty

the flight simulator announcement from e3 deserves a mention, I would never usually have any interest in this series but that trailer really sold me instantly. https://youtu.be/ReDDgFfWlS4

I have to say that new hellblade trailer was something else, and I played the first one, I didn't really like the gameplay. But it did not matter what my thoughts were when watching the new trailer it was so intense and drew you in, I think part of the charm was knowing that they take the mocap stuff so seriously and you can see how far they are pushing it. It's almost like a game trailer made to showcase the amazing face tech. Everyone watching the game awards with me was blown away as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TR0gaG01do

I watched the Sekiro launch trailer again, and got so hyped that I may need to jump back in when I get off work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXMX4YJ7Lks I also still really like the Ghostwire: Tokyo reveal trailer. Just enough intrigue and after The Evil Within 2, I am so curious as to what Tango Gameworks has up their sleeve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM1i5BRwqtg

The Last of Us Pt. 2 release date trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II5UsqP2JAk Not going to lie, this is probably the game I’m most looking forward to in 2020. But that being said, I think it’s an incredible trailer as it does a great job of portraying the violent and grim world that’s in The Last of Us universe. And for my second suggestion, I’d like to throw this in the mix; Star Wars: Battlefront 2 Celebration Edition trailer. I personally felt that it conveyed the turnaround this game has had really well, and it sure as hell wanted me to get BF2 and start to play it. https://youtu.be/qbVsjbBllKQ

I didn't watch too many trailers outside of E3 and other events but my favorite trailer last year was Kerbal Space Program 2's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_nj6wW6Gsc

Battlefield V War in the Pacific Official Trailer https://youtu.be/LCZLabOywYU The production quality is insane, 4K, entirely in engine with a lot of animations exclusive to the trailer. Very well edited and easy to follow, despite all the chaos.

The Baulders Gate 3 trailer had me stunned with the most provocative, intense body horror I’ve ever seen. Along with some intriguing imagery and great direction; this trailer has me hyped on a game that is AGGRESSIVELY not my genre. But I will watch with great interest for its story https://youtu.be/WvMf_DcyWbI

I've got five trailers I wanna highlight in no particular order, the first of which is the No More Heroes 3 trailer shown off at the Game Awards. Other people have mentioned it before, but it's a really fun trailer with a great visual aesthetic and a delightful little fakeout at the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYl7zhhfbL4 Then there's the True Damage - GIANTS music video, Riot games's followup to last year's POP/STARS by K/DA. I'm gonna be real, I did not like POP/STARS all that much, but I think GIANTS is pretty great. The band has a fun little backstory with Akali, one of the K/DA members, bringing together a bunch of talented solo artists and the results is a really funky hiphop track set to some stunning 2D animation work. Better than POP/STARS in every way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVZpHFXcFJw Third up is the Baba is You release date trailer, which is short and sweet, featuring several funny scenarios you'll run into in the game before ending on a surprisingly creepy note that hints at some of the underlying mystery the game has to offer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3_yA4HTJfs My favourite game of the year was Katana Zero, that game's launch trailer was pretty damn spectacular. It's set to the beautiful and haunting Blue Room track and keeps the intrigue up swapping between action sequences and story moments before ending on a quite literal bang. A great trailer for a must-play game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GcJC0N07Nk And my final one has to go to the Hollow Knight: Silksong reveal trailer. It's just so damn dense, jam-packed full of beautiful locales, frightening foes and intriguing friends. Team Cherry is showcasing some fine work and I'm so happy they're getting the respect and recognition they deserve. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQxwbZsL14Y

Small Leviathan

I forgot to add The Last of Us Part II : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II5UsqP2JAk No More Heroes 3 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2nPg42xsXg Mortal Kombat 11 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQFZC6dzauM Final Fantasy VII Remake : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3xSGv3Hfio Guilty Gear 2020 : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAJUvy4ibeA

The Silksong trailer is perfection. Don't miss it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQxwbZsL14Y

ZatVunDoot

GHOST OF TSUSHIMA 2019 GOTY trailer - for taking the time in the first minute to establish the shot without frantic, action filled editing. It just comes across more mature and cooler. When the white "Ghost" title appears besides the hero and slow mo leaves in the wind, accompanied with the blade sound effect - simply brilliant. There is more poetry than firework which I like. https://youtu.be/CTcvBdyCnTI

When I saw Greedfall Gamescom trailer I was sold on the game I never heard about, which almost never happen: https://youtu.be/jYkqIWUNzPE But looking back I must say that there aren't any 2019 game trailer I want to rewatch.

Alexander Zyryanov

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQFZC6dzauM it's not even close

The Final Fantasy VII E3 trailer is really good. The music especially. I'm just afraid it might be mostly because of nostalgia that I love the trailer so much. https://youtu.be/Z3xSGv3Hfio Other than that Ghost of Tsushima had an absolutely fantastic trailer at the game awards. So atmospheric. https://youtu.be/Zbq7BnsQhrw

Sebastian Mauritzell

Diablo 4 trailer from Blizzcon 2019: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SSYzl9fXOQ Amazing visuals that is just so dark and terrifying. I love it.

My absolute favourite game trailer in a LONG while is the Doom Eternal Story Trailer. That bit at 1:07 when the choir in the background starts chanting, "Rip and tear!"? Perfection. https://youtu.be/2HOClc6Svg4 The cinematic announcement trailer for Diablo IV is a little long, but it's one I go back to a lot when showing off trailers to friends and family. Those visuals wow them every time - even if they don't care about games whatsoever. Heck, I don't plan on playing this Diablo at all, and I was still really impressed! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SSYzl9fXOQ I still think the Last of Us Part II release date trailer was a fantastic way to reveal Joel. It reduced me to sobs the first time I watched it. This game is going to be amazing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=II5UsqP2JAk Hellblade 2's reveal trailer recently was AWESOME. Made me want to pick up the first game, having never even played it before. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TR0gaG01do The Destroy All Humans! remake reveal trailer was a fantastic way to convey the game's whacky humour as well, and got us all hyped for the remake. Ich Will is now stuck in my head. https://youtu.be/y-1Q86252hg And who can forget the Mortal Kombat launch trailer? Setting it to THAT music was just genius. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQFZC6dzauM

I'll try to keep this short and simple, so i probably gonna miss some trailers that i don't remember right now Terry Bogard in Smash Bros.

GodDamn SuperHero....I mean, No More Heroes 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgmc8RjHpBk

Easily the Death Stranding release date trailer. It’s a little long, sure. But like all great trailers, it does three things: tells a story, makes you want to know what happens in that story, and makes you want to play the game. Kojima does all three! Not to mention the way it was released: drip-fed in sporadic bursts, live on PlayStation’s Twitch channel! https://youtu.be/piIgkJWDuQg

Jeremy Pick

The No More Heroes Trailer was pretty recent but that is my favourite trailer so far (the full extended one). Cool mini story, super memorable especially with the Goddamn Superhero title fake out, epic characters as well. Was my favourite. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p18CbMcG-es I don't remember many other hype ones but the MK11 trailer (I don't even play MK) the old school vs new school trailer. Best music choice for far and it got me intrigued about characters I barely know and don't care about. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbMqcFvtMN8 Lastly, shout out to the Keanu reveal for Cyberpunk, even if that's the only bit I can remember.

Erick Galdino

Those are the one I remember the most Watch Dog 3 Legion : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbokXaPTk38 Diablo IV : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RdDpqCmjb4 Hellblade II : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJWI4bkD9ZM Microsoft Flight Simulator : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReDDgFfWlS4 The Outer Worlds : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmyF8IjfSUI

That trailer almost shows the whole game. Maybe the most spoilery trailer of the year lol

Erick Galdino

I've got two. 1) Watch Dogs: Legion: E3 2019 Official World Premiere Trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbokXaPTk38). Everything you need to know about the game - a quarter-hour E3 presentation boiled down to a succinct 3-minute trailer, going through key gameplay elements, rendered mostly in-engine (presumably) and ramping up nicely as it goes. 2) Polar opposite of the above: Ghostwire: Tokyo – Official E3 Teaser (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qrXLQqHkJk). While it gives no information on the gameplay, certainly delivers a great vibe and imagery. And noodles.

Senua’s Saga: Hellblade 2 Announce Trailer. https://youtu.be/vvKQ7eTGXns There have been a lot of great trailers this year, but this is the only one, bar FF7R, I have watched at least a dozen times and felt compelled to show others. It not only got me excited for the game itself and the amazing/startling tone the trailer sets, but it was an incredibly smart pick for Xbox that shows that they are not just playing the next-generation safe with more of the same and that their new studios matter.

did you intentionally write “game trailers” as “GameTrailers”? or was it totally subliminal?

RanchoCucamunga

Death Stranding Release Date Reveal Trailer. 8 Minutes of cutscenes and gameplay, edited by Kojima himself in a cinematic way, and featuring that thrilling music by Apocalyptica. Looking back having now played the game, it shows a lot, but gives away very little at the same time. We also first learned the names of some of the main characters in this trailer. It feels like an event. And at a time when my hype for the game was as high as I thought it could possibly get, this trailer skyrocketed it even higher.

Oh, it's my second favorite category only behind GOTY itself! Thanks a ton for allowing us to submit!

Trailer of the Year: Kerbal Space Program 2 Gamescom Reveal Trailer Link: https://youtu.be/P_nj6wW6Gsc I have never played the first game, but this trailer utilizes the beauty of space and wonder to give me chills and make me feel like a little kid again. The music is a perfect fit to bring it home, and the comedic relief is the perfect pay-off for what it has been building up to - that no matter how serious things are, they probably will collapse in goofy and entertaining ways. This is a long trailer, but I can not start to watch it without having to finish it, and I've watched it several times now. Honorable mention: This advert for Trover saves the Universe https://youtu.be/wnztkj2yuWU

Am I correct that nobody has brought up the Death Stranding launch trailer? That seems insane. This is one of the best trailers for any game I’ve ever seen. Up there with the BOTW release date trailer. Also the song is so good. https://youtu.be/tCI396HyhbQ

The Kerbal Space Program 2 Announcement Trailer shown during Gamescom Opening Night Live deserves a look. It’s hard to watch this trailer and not be interested in the jolly, space epic and that’s exactly what an announcement trailer should do. Bonus points from Kyle for including Outro by M83. https://youtu.be/P_nj6wW6Gsc

I’d like to add the Live Action Kakarot trailer, it’s not the best at showing gameplay but the nostalgia really hits home —. https://youtu.be/MtV6AMw48Y0

I personally think that the No More Heroes 3 or Senua Hellblade 2 trailer will win for their visuals and technical performance, but Baldur's Gate 3 deserves a nod. It needed just a little more to push it to best, but the ending to that trailer has me cheering. Baldur's Gate 3 (June 6, 2019) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcP0WdH7rTs Also, this feels more like a commercial, but I did like the Pokemon Go Buddy Trailer and I would love to make everyone watch the gross Squirtle smiling at its trainer.

Halo Infinite - E3 2019 - Discover Hope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZtgzKBrU1GY I didn't like it at first due to lack of gameplay and even lack of context of what's going on in the story. Upon many repeat viewings it's a really immersive trailer into the Halo universe with so much detail for a game that was still a year and a half away.

Breath of the Wild 2 was a hell of a teaser. Just looking at the wild fan reactions and theories shows how effective and evocative it was. https://youtu.be/3fr1Z07AV00

Does Halo Infinite at E3 count? It’s a little long, but was very emotional... https://youtu.be/ogGAbjpgDYY

Hellblade 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJWI4bkD9ZM My Favorite. Just amazingly captivating trailer. Letting her actually sing the trailer music is one of the coolest things I've seen. Last of Us Remastered - From the Beginning: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JclKytWG9Ro Yes, actually a new trailer that's both for the remastered game appearing on ps+ and Last of us 2. Short, elegant and to the point. Crimson Desert - Official release trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oveOw84tUVU Probably the least known one. I love it when a game shows up out of nowhere and right away presents itself as so complete. It's just filled with so many scenes that make me go "I want to play this right now". My only worry is that it actually looks to good and the real game is far less polished. (It's supposed to be an MMO after all)

I think a worthy nod is Super Mario Maker 2. It was a very playful trailer with good musical cues. It also had a very nice pace in terms of how long they showed off each new feature in motion. https://youtu.be/AjJWzJC8Kfk

The Last of Us - "Evolution of Ellie" trailer. When Sony put up The Last of Us as a PlayStation Plus freebie, they released this stunning time lapse trailer to accompany it. It's so well done that it would pass as a terrific TV spot for Part II. https://youtu.be/KuQ7WsUKcwc

Hi Jones, with a bit of thinking back.. here goes: Tekken 7 Leroy Smith Gameplay Trailer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLN9515mZUQ Harada-san revealed Leroy during EVO 2019 and nobody quite knew what to think and this fast paced trailer with a personalized Song gave me a great impression of who Leroy is and what makes him a cool character.

The No More Heroes 3 extended trailer is just so absurd I can't not love it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2nPg42xsXg

Ghostwire: Tokyo is my favorite game trailer of the year. I love how it starts out portraying normal life in Tokyo and progressively gets creepier and creepier. https://youtu.be/9qrXLQqHkJk

I had no interest in the Watch Dogs series. This was the surprise of E3 for me. https://youtu.be/KbokXaPTk38

This trailer is meh, but it's my Shenmue. The way Huber never expected Shenmue III to exist, I never thought we'd get to return to the world of XIII. I would have preferred a sequel over a remaster, but if everything works out the way I hope it does, we'll get both. There's probably a 50% chance this remaster will be a hot mess and crash and burn like an airborne grease fire, but that means there's also a 50% chance it will be a righteous reminder of how great that original game truly was! You had your E3 of Dreams back in 2015. I had a completely unexpected PlayStation Blog post that made me believe again. https://youtu.be/JQwxuVFzgbI

For me, and I may be biased, every new Final Fantasy VII remake trailer makes me excited. But the one from E3 was really impactful to me because it wasn't just reassurance that the game was real, but because it was a showcase that it is going to be more than the game we remember. It showed off a scope and a reimagining of things we already know, rather than a shot for shot look, and included a living world that looks full of things to do and activities to undertake, not to mention a first look at new characters for the first time. https://youtu.be/Z3xSGv3Hfio Ghostwire Tokyo is a really awesome trailer that I don't want to get stuck under the radar. It introduced a really fascinating world that is full of questions. The construction of the trailer also has a beautiful transition between shots. We still don't know much about the game, but the trailer showed just enough to give tidbits of what it could be mechanically and especially thematically, while letting us speculate. Not a fan of the tagline though. https://youtu.be/ZM1i5BRwqtg Will update if I think of more.

Happy Gaming

Cyberpunk 2077 E3 Cinematic Trailer is by far one of the best of this year. It not only gives you an idea of how your decisions will affect your gameplay, but also Keanu Reeves, so nuff said. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YApuEWtG30w

I love the music and edit of this Three Kingdoms Trailer. This game covers one of my favorite historical settings. https://youtu.be/4UhSsPhIpqM

This is the one trailer I still come back to even after the game has released. Nobody edits trailers like Hideo Kojima. https://youtu.be/piIgkJWDuQg

Every Smash trailer still blows my mind even after the fact, but I gotta say, Terry’s reveal was something special.

Mindes Endian

That's easy for the PC Gaming side of things! From the suprise announcement of the game, to once it finally all happened, a new Half-Life was upon us. Culminating in an INCREDIBLE reveal trailer that was non-stop thrills and action ending on an shot of a beautiful 4K look at G-Man. Might I suggest.... Half-Life: Alyx's initial reveal trailer? https://youtu.be/O2W0N3uKXmo

Final Fantasy VII Remake E3 2019 Trailer https://youtu.be/pCJZg7pVtiI This trailer was a big improvement in terms of presentation and pacing compared to the previous State of Play trailer. Whereas the SoP trailer was sort of a vomit of exciting moments, the E3 trailer hit all the right notes. It showed off the infamous opening shot of Midgar, displayed a nice mix of story and gameplay, and debuted Tifa in just the right way. Ending on Sephiroth provides a lot of excitement and intrigue to see what's coming next.

Ominous and haunting. The Hellblade 2 trailer was the best of the game awards https://youtu.be/2TR0gaG01do

I have mixed feelings on CG reveal trailers but the visual creativity in the Ghostwire Tokyo E3 cinematic made it a memorable standout for me. I also enjoyed the Death Stranding trailer that launched back in May which featured Apocalyptica's "Path". Kojima sure knows how to choose music to compliment his games.
