Amazing cool beautiful trailer that tells you fuck all about what the game actually is, what you do, even what genre it is. Is it a tabletop RPG? First person shooter? Card game?

Trailers with zero gameplay are garbage for established IPs too.

Remember when E3 would come around and youd have your run of the mill games with cinematic trailers etc and every now and then youd get an Arkham Asylum or some such where the footage is 99-100% gameplay and they just let the game speak for itself

They're just as bad as those small trailers to announce the date for the actual trailer.

It's not like bad trailers are anything new. Lots of comedy movies have always been completely boring except the snippets from the trailers.

It's the equivalent to mobile games having practically false advertising. The AAA industry really has been aping mobile games for awhile now.

I've never understood the Elder Scrolls Online cinematic trailers. The fan base loves them, but it's just CGI guff.

That reveal trailer is the reason the subtitle "Not actual gameplay footage" exists.

Fantastic sci-fi shooter/exoskeleton nonsense trailer, full of hype movement and cool character designs

The last 5 minutes: "an upcoming PvP Extraction Shooter Live Service-"

I have seen no other recent phenomenon that so thoroughly destroys not just my interest, but overall interest to the point that I think 2 of those actually straight up died without open beta after dropping trailers

Why not go all in?

Elder Scrolls 6 was announced over 7 years ago and is essentially 36 seconds of nothing, but has over 19 million views and over 422k likes.
