Trailer Jones - E3 Special - Deathloop, Ghostwire, and Zelda
Added 2019-06-20 09:51:32 +0000 UTCE3 is the biggest barrage of trailers we get all year, so if I could only talk about 3, I wanted to cover the ones that I was still unsure of before we met to pick our E3 2019 Awards and hand out Best Trailer of the show. I've spent many hours this past weekend tracking down and revisiting a ton of E3 trailers, and the ones I discuss in this episode just jumped out at me. It's no surprise that many of these are from the big events we watched last week, but there are also a lot of hidden gems that I found, or were sent to me. Thank you to everyone that sent things my way I would have otherwise missed. I hope E3 gave you all the trailers you asked for.

Amused that Damiani's favorite Zelda trailer was the one most disingenuous to the actual game itself, implying a much heavier story focus than what was actually in the final product, as well as spoiling most of the short cutscenes present in the final game. The E3 2016 environmental focused trailer was a much more honest, better representation for the game we received. I'll happily argue it presents and sells the points that actually set Breath of the Wild apart from previous games rather, which were the things that made everyone fall in love with that game, versus everyone universally complaining there weren't enough story beats after the unrealistic expectations set up by the trailer Damiani is praising here. Of course, before launch we wouldn't know that, but now that we do know this, I don't think that trailer should be praised any longer, and I would personally score it lower because of this.
