inFamous
I love watching good game trailers. A particular good one this year was inFamous trailer. I had been only mildly interested in the game before this trailer. The game mechanic was not terribly original. Shooting seems a little bit weak-sauce. Just… mildly interested. Then I saw this trailer.
This changed my perspective of the game. It connected all those different elements of the game very well and presented in a very good fluid form. Nice music and nice edit/slow-mo around actions. I bought the game and enjoyed it for sure.
Heavy Rain
The most intriguing trailer this year for me is Heavy Rain trailers. Again, I was not that much interested in the game. Already saw the gameplay videos (again), just a string of QTE. Nice graphic… a little bit awkward animation. The animation was all motion captured but, it was more of watching acting not action.
Then this trailer completely hooked me.
The music immediately blew me away. Then the guy’s face. The sad face with such emptiness in his eyes simply made me watch it again and again (maybe because I am a sad person). His expression and subtle gesture were just perfect.
Then another trailer (contains nudity). BTW, this is in Polish.
The shout at the end just gave me a chill. Can’t wait to play this game.
