There have been some nice ones all through the years that would contend for “the most effective” in my eyes. Kingdom Hearts’ authentic North American trailer stands out for its iconic use of the music Merely and Clear by Hikaru Utada.

Josh factors out Halo 3’s “Consider” marketing campaign as a contender, as nicely. Then there’s the 2018 Smash Bros. trailer, Everyone seems to be right here!, that simply makes my little gamer soul blissful.

These are all nice trailers, little question, however the one which I’ve gone again to a number of occasions all through the years and by no means fails to provide an emotional response is Lifeless Island’s authentic 2011 trailer. In case you want a refresher, test it out under.

The Lifeless Island trailer simply hit all the correct notes. It begins with some hauntingly lovely piano and violin earlier than revealing a lifeless little one mendacity within the grass. Then, as quickly as your thoughts processes that, zombie snarls minimize by the music, earlier than throwing you right into a reversed montage of the occasions that led to the kid mendacity within the grass.

The enhancing was actually top-notched. You get a reverse trailer of what led the woman to her demise intertwined with what occurred initially. You possibly can really feel the mother and father’ feelings as they fend off zombies from their recently-bitten daughter.

The desperation is of the household is palpable. Then, it ends with a contented household waving on the digicam whereas on a picture-perfect trip. It actually runs viewers by a gauntlet of feelings.

It’s simply… good. Over a decade later, the graphics are clearly not fairly as much as par with at the moment’s choices, and the trailer didn’t actually characterize how Lifeless Island truly felt to play, however that’s all irrelevant. The trailer captured my curiosity instantly and nonetheless sticks with me at the moment.
