Well, I'll add in my two cents now 'cause it seems I can no longer edit threads on this site (for now). Get ready for a lot of videos.
All Overwatch Animated Trailers:
-- Because they are beautiful.
I probably have issues with BW and ME these days. But I still love ME2 and the trailer for it was epic. Especially the music.
As much as I've enjoyed playing Dead Island so far, it does annoy the ever loving shit out of me how much it doesn't live up to this trailer. I did know this going in, it's just, every time the game tries to sell me on a tragedy [such as the characters telling you something sad that happened to them] I think back to this trailer and makes me wish it could've been as amazing as that.
Fact of it is, I only now just got the game because it was cheap in a sale like £3.00. If it'd been the game in this trailer, I'd of gotten it way way waaaaaay sooner. But an amazing trailer, I remember i kept watching this thing and breaking into tears it was that damn good
The song..... the song.... I can never get it out of my head.
Man Tears.
Feels galore.
Honestly the best trailer of the series, but only because it's a recap of the entire two seasons before the conclusion. Huge spoiler trailer though. hehe
Jesus these threads are starting to look like Watchmojo lists.
I'd check out anything made by MikkroBitti. He's a YouTuber who does these fan-made trailers of video games that are pretty much professional level. They're phenomenal. I'll leave the one he did for Bioshock Infinite right here:
Damn good and the best part is it doesn't really spoiler to much about the game
@Job J Stauffer I DEMAND YOU TO HUG THE PERSON WHO MADE TWD TRAILERS... I f you don't know this person/these persons HUG EVERYONE AT TELLTALE
I was so f*cking hyped when I saw this OMG I still remember one of the best CG trailers I have ever seen for a game... Wish that AC went back to those days
Time to bring a Dinosaur out of the closet. Argued to be one of Rare's last great games before Microsoft bought them.
Cool. I've never played this game, and this makes me want to play it! Leaves me intrigued.
The Feels!
I didn't make this but I finally found it!
Spoilers S1
Fan Trailers eh?
One can dream, one can dream. Being I've been an Ace Combat fan since before the series was even called Ace Combat. Still have our fingers crossed the Namco and Project Aces will do an HD rework of all their games in a collectors edition of some kind.
This actually convinced me to play that game, so must be good enough to be worth mentioning. Better than The Old Republic MMO, honestly. Which isn't saying much personally, as I didn't like The Old Republic at all.
Oh yeah, I watched all of his trailers. His TWAU trailer is particularly amazing.
Holy shit. That was awesome!
Project Aces' last great game back in 2006.
Oh my god I'm not alone

To be fair, our choices are coming from pure passion and what to us makes an amazing trailer. Not the heartless, corporate, biased and spammy shit that Watchmojo posts.
First off, I'm surprised nobody mentioned the fucking brilliant and beautiful Halo 3 'Believe' trailer. That trailer is fantastic.
Second, from my childhood, the most kickass trailer I ever saw was the trailer for Spider-Man 2. I remember in 2006 I had just finished the first Spider-Man movie game and my dad told me there was a second one already out. I asked him if we could watch the trailer and I sat there in complete shock and awe from how different and amazing it was compared to the original, how much bigger. I remember sitting wide eyed and feeling pure hype rush through my body as I watched Spidey be way cooler than ever before to the epic song used in the trailer.
As for what I think the best trailer in general is now...
BF1 Trailers make me cringe. They ruined WWI on BF1 and the trailers show it so badly. The one in particular. I don't think I see a single "Common" Weapon from the war being used, it's all insanely rare, expensive proto weapons. Definitely the Semi Autos, you wouldn't see a Semi Auto rifle at that time being used in the desert the darn things wouldn't of lasted a week before being so clogged with dirt that they would of been useless. There are reasons so few countries adopted semi auto rifles until like 30+ years later. Thats the problem these trailers have. They make WWI look like a modern warfare like shooter with fast pace combat, automatic weapons around ever corner, WWI wasn't anything like that. Mobile Warfare hadn't really come yet, and assault tactics didn't develop until late in the war. Even German Sturmtruppen the wars first true assault troops trained in assault close quarter assault tactics would of been lucky to have been issued MP18 late in the war. They often used a rare Mauser 98AZ Carbine, C98 Pistols, and C98 Carbines, as well as a modified Spandau Heavy Machine Gun converted into a light machine gun but to do so they had to dramatically reduce it's rate of fire, just to remove the water jacket to cut it's weight almost in half.
So you can take a wild guess why BF1 Trailers make my eyes bleed. There are reasons they choose specific battlefields and theaters of operation for BF1, to make the formula gamers are currently used to work in a WWI theme, then they threw in all kinds of exotic weapons to make combat fast pace and interesting. Makes me cringe.
Then compare that to this. Yes I know trench warfare was actually rare during WWI, but the weapons, and tactics on this trailer, how people fought is considerably light years more accurate, just imagine it not in a trench, but in a town, or in a rocky mountain side, or woodlands instead of trenches, but the tactics were generally the same, as well as weaponry as in this trailer.
Best UNOFFICIAL The Walking Dead Trailer in my Opinion.
