My vote goes to DA:O - Sacred Ashes

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5St9phiHHE

For some reason i wasn't particularly fussed when bioWare first announced DA:O, especially when they started spouting all the "BG's spiritual successor" nonsesne, as we all know nothing ever pans out how devs claims it will. However, upon seeing Sacred Ashes, i knew it was gonna be a day 1 purchase. Even if the game svcked, which luckly it didn't, i was totally taken in by it.

BioShock's first person Big Daddy fight. Sums up the game perfectly, while being awesome as [censored] to watch.

I'd link, but it's pretty gory and I like my warn bar how it is.

Not a fan of The Old Republic, but the trailers are pretty epic. They should have just dropped the game altogether and just had the guys who made the trailers make a series of movies based on TOR.

Too bad the trailers had absolutely nothing in common with the game.

No matter the advance of technology, AoE2's is still one of the best:

I liked the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmYfRt-hGpI better than I did the entire game. I still have the trailer saved to my HDD, which is more than I can say for the game.

But the best? Like, of all time? That's tough. I dunno if I can answer that easily. Lots of trailers are actually just the opening of the game, do those count? Because if those count then:

If not then it's something like:

The extended version of the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMN1x7-Sf5Q.

If you also want to know worst, the Dragon Age trailer with the Marilyn Manson 'This is the new **** ' song ranks pretty high on that list. First time someone showed it to me I was convinced it was a fan made video, putting some terribly unfitting music over the original trailer. People like to do that for some reason.

What do you mean?

Anyways my favorite was Fallout: New Vegas' on spike weeks before it was released.

You weren't impressed by Bioware's hype, but a trailer composed entirely of CG footage not even in the game, featuring a much different style and art direction, that ultimately had a million inaccuracies from the final product, made DAO a day one purchase?

Anyway, impressive trailers for me include http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2N1TJP1cxmo&ob=av3e, the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjCehYrEbO0, and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSU43H1LYGs.

I really like the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6At_bb1PNU&list=FLCVPmUHBet-0oadV221Qt8g&feature=mh_lolz, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w1AenlOEXao, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5St9phiHHE, and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar-qKACbnkg&ob=av3e trailers but by far my favorite trailer is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7Nf-m6WGl4.

That DA sacred ashes trailer is awesome. Never saw the full version of it before.

But I think a good trailer should always use some real gameplay.

For me this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93LFz_j5fQA&oref=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fresults%3Fsearch_query%3DDark%2Bsouls%2Btrailer%26oq%3DDark%2Bsouls%2Btrailer%26aq%3Df%26aqi%3Dg4%26aql%3D%26gs_sm%3De%26gs_upl%3D465007l472588l0l473122l20l20l1l8l8l3l579l2798l0.4.5.1.0.1l11l0&has_verified=1, made by a fan I believe, is one of my faves.

I get what you're saying, and i do understand CG footage rarely, if ever, is a true representation of actual game play. However, it just blew me away and because of this, the trailer done its job, and the rest as they say is history.

I suppose it's like people watching LoTR or Conan, then firing up a TES game because it has whetted their appetite and all that malarkey.

Hell, you've got to admit that the trailer even made Leliana look halve way interesting and we all know that is a difficult thing to achieve.

Yep.

Deus ex HR.
Mirrors edge.
Bioshock infinate (window scene is awesome)
Bioshock "beyond the sea" big daddy fight.
Halo 3.

Still love Mass Effect 2's.

World in Conflicts "Shadow on the Sun" trailer.

The extended version of the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMN1x7-Sf5Q.

That was pretty awesome.

The live action Call of Duty trailers (for Black Ops and MW3) are awesome. Never get old.

Oh, god, that trailer was horrible. It totally put me off the game, and it wasn't until after release, when I got a chance to play a friend's copy of the game, that I decided to buy. At least they didn't put that music in the game.

Game trailers rarely effect my purchasing decisions in a positive way, but a really bad trailer like that can effect them in a negative way.

No matter the advance of technology, AoE2's is still one of the best:

God that was a great game. Also I almost always watched the intro too.

I was the Teutons for the most part. Great castles and Teutonic Knights were ponderous but basically tanks.

Skyrim's Trailer was actually pretty good but I think The Old Republic's trailers were amazing even if they were kind of all hype.

This is the best trailer.

That is still awesome, I love the intros of all of Ensemble Studios' games.

I guess I'll be the first to say all of the Cinematic trailers for the Assassin's Creed series. The live action trailer for Halo 3: ODST is another one pf the best trailers I have ever seen. The Gears of War games all had awesome trailers too.

My favourite trailer though is the intro of Starcraft 2.

That was the best.
