For me it is the GTA 5 first person camera trailer because it is the first GTA game that have a first person camera and it will be interesting to play GTA in a new perspective.

They are really a lot of great intros, so here are a few:


This intro just brings the man tears if you know what I´m saying. Good memories from that game + the music.Surely not for everybody but I really like it.


I watch this trailer and I feel my beard grow. Great game(trailer) to get these man points up.


1950´s athmosphere/music and postapocalyptic slaughter? Where do I sign?


I´ve never played an Uncharted game but DAMN this teaser is the most badassest monologue I´ve ever heard.

I don't usually pay attention to trailers or ads. The one that I saw last that I can think is the ones for Dark Souls 2.

Hilarious commercial provided by Nintendo, it's disappointing they don't broadcast ads on US.


What did you mean by that because I remember seeing that commercial as a kid on tv.

I think most people aren't too familiar with the Warhammer 40000 universe and the video games that came from the tabletop franchise. Dawn of War 2 was the sequel in a strategy game series set in the 40k universe and it had possibly one of THE most badass intros I have ever seen. Everyone you see in the trailer deserves a shoutout for pure badassery.

Pokemon opening because it's THE POKEMON OPENING

GTA all trailers because they make the trailers show how the game really is unlike blizzard or other stuff where they specially make a trailer. Also Read dead redemption trailer , same reasons as above.

Absolutely loved the KH intros.

For anyone feeling nostalgic, Morrowind's opening scene on the prison ship and the aftermath (still one of my favorite moments in gaming):

sony say this is still in development, they could just be lying to keep hopeful fans around but i think it would be a crime if it never saw release.

Hmmmm, there's a few out there I'm sure. But the only one that could consistently get me pumped up every time (despite the game not being a big hit) was this:
Sorry for the poor quality. That's practically the only version out there anywhere.
The feels were real. Always got me ready to stomp some Feddies.

And then there's my honorable Squaresoft mentions. Three of my most played games during my younger days.

And then there's also FFVIII's opening credits.
Not my favorite game overall, but damn if I didn't love the music and this actually helped get me into the game.

MOST RECENTLY THOUGH! My latestestest /hype is being generated by this:

I forgot that one and knew it, but I also knew someone would remember it for me, lol. I played a lot of SC 1, 3 and 4, but SC2 is the only one I ever bought the OST for. The music was simply too memorable. I still have and wear the T-shirt I got for pre-ordering the game, too.

I like FF14's, but I love the game, so I'm probably biased. It was very beautiful, cinematically, and the
were very exciting. I remember first seeing it when I downloaded the game and thinking "this will be fucking awesome".

So much hype is going around now, and this relates. It's one of my favorite all time game intros, and I wouldn't mind if they just re-did this intro over and over again with better graphics and new characters and such.

Ahh, I always forget. Melee's intro is a true classic. I used to watch that almost every time I booted up the game because it was so good. Brawl's was just disappointing in comparison.

“There’s stuff that just doesn’t exist in third-person: the weapon recoil, the reloads, the weapon switching. All of the weapons have been up-rezzed and animated properly, so the shells come out the right way and have the right muzzle flashes. I think we created 3,000 animations on weapons alone.

Well it may look like a mod but we got to agree that Rockstar did put some effort into making it and not counting the vehicle or phone animation in the trailer. Unless there is a modder willing to do that much work on animation.

Skyrim. Has the most epic trailer I've ever seen. Seriously the way the epic music kicks in at the Fus Roh Dah still gets me hyped even after having played the game for so long.

This trailer made me very hyped for MW2, The Action, The Eminem song everything it about it made it a very good trailer. Talking about MW2 it was officially released five years ago, how time flies by.

I remember absolutely adoring the design aspects of the game that they flaunted in the trailer with the red texturing directing the player where to go. Couple that with some beautiful music and you got yourself a great little trailer.
the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include
