I probably watched this trailer 500 fucking times, it came on a DVD with some magazine I got. I was so hype for the game, I didn't have internet access yet so I would go to Gamestop once a month and ask when the game was coming out. Initially they'd tell me it would come out around November of 2005 but then it turned into early 2006 and then later they'd tell me it was coming out with the Wii. I didn't even know what the fuck the Wii was at that point I somehow missed hearing about it.

Best trailers the genre's ever seen, contender for the best cinematic trailers of any game ever. The way they stagger the company logo reveals in the first one is so good, it's insane that Ono just showed early beta footage at a convention weeks before it was shown and ruined the surprise. Game itself was disappointing but ultimately over-hated, it's pretty good.

I LISTENED to this song/trailer so many times on repeat on my Gen I iPod Touch. I was so so so so excited for The Legend of Zelda to have a fully orchestral soundtrack. I remember riding my ATV along the backroads with this blaring on my headphones and then being so confused when I actually played. I loved TP but the music hurt me, still good though.

The old AC games, absolutely. But I don't really remember any of their trailers from the last 10 years.

And yeah I think that song was trailer exclusive, not sure I remember it in the game at all. I was so hyped for that game I don't think it could have possibly lived up to the game I was imagining.

It's kind of sad we're well past the point of being wowed by graphical advancements. That said I still like it when a series takes pride in it's roots. In recent memory the Tekken 8 teaser at evo was kino with the cut from tekken 1 ending to modern Kazuya.

>>731056163
To be fair game trailers stopped being cinematic after video game graphics become stagnant, and it become hard to tell if a trailer is using a cinematic CG to market the game, or using an in-game footage to showcase the game.
Because of this all of the modern trailers leaned towards showcasing the game by using nothing but the gameplay, for better or for worse.
Trailers back then had a problem of some games faking up gameplay to scam customers, but ones that knew what they were doing made an absolute memorable gem that's straight up entertaining to watch, sometimes more entertaining than the game itself.

It's amazing how terrible Budokai 2 ended up being. I had 1 and 3 and they were fun. I went back and played 2 last year and I get why it was skipped in the collection.

For me it was less about being fixated about trailers because we rarely had internet or TV as a kid. It was moreso about vague memories of my brothers playing games or myself playing them at a young age. That or demo disc demos where getting the game during that time was impossible without the internet.
Most notably was Quest 64 and Gex 3. Lots of others though like Tomba (1st), Tsumu, Croc, Dragon Ball GT final bout (I understand this one is also dogshit)
