trailer we already covered those in our

video game trailers
number ten does a soldier in all of us
call of duty black ops
[Music]
while seemingly just a humorous take on
trying to advertise the game a lot of
people brought up the deep underlying
concerns they had with this trailer the
trailer depicts celebrities and everyday
civilians that have no real-world combat
skills to be lethal killing machines
some things that the tagline does a
soldier in all of us glamorizes war and
a lot of questions were directed at the
developers on whether or not they’d
actually seen a real-life battlefield or
dealt with the mental issues that follow
traumatic events like war go of duty
black ops raid M for Mature number 9
Metroid Prime Federation force revealed
trailer Metroid Prime Federation force
fans had been begging for a new Metroid
game to come out for years and after a
six-year hiatus their wish finally came
true except that it was a spin-off title
that looked nothing like the prior
Metroid games the outreach following the
reveal was expected and there was even a
petition for the game to be cancelled
that had a staggering amount of
signatures within the first 24 hours
it looks like Nintendo did listen to the
fan feedback though as a year after the
game came out it was announced that
Samus fans would be getting not one but
two Metroid games in the near future
[Music]
number eight DMC Devil May Cry reveal
trailer DMC Devil May Cry Devil May Cry
has been around for a long time and have
started millions of fans worldwide not
only this gamers love the fluid and
dynamic sword and gun Glee but they also
love the badass white-haired Dante and
his cool attitude that version of Dante
is present in the first board game and
when a new DMC was announced with a
reimagined Dante gamers express their
distaste for the new iteration of the
character people hate change
especially if they see no clear reason
to change what they love lights out
number seven The Legend of Zelda Ocarina
of Time TV commercial The Legend of
Zelda Ocarina of Time
[Music]
there’s no denying that marketing
techniques and advertisements had
different standards and practices way
back in the 90s if we look back now most
of them are cringe-worthy and poorly
executed by today’s standards the
Ocarina of Time TV commercial was just
plain sexist with the tagline that
implies guilt play games badly or don’t
play at all so an altering of the
commercial was warranted the revised ad
changed its implications but still got
the intended message across
there’s no way marketing agencies would
ever try that again
[Music]
number six crossroads debut gameplay
trailer Tomb Raider the Tomb Raider
reboot was a departure from the series
in many ways with the new series
focusing on the protagonist Lara Croft
before she became the Tomb Raider the
debut trailer also shows a much darker
and dramatic tale centered on survival
and people were too happy seeing such a
huge change in tone while we see Lara
impaled attacked by a wolf and covered
in blood it was the scene that showed an
attempted rape that drew widespread
criticism so much so there’s a sense
being ended up being toned down for the
final release after all you’re a Croft I
don’t think I’m that kind of craft show
you how number 5 your mom hates this
dead space – oh my god ah sure it’s new
and kind of funny but it’s hard to
imagine this marketing campaign working
effectively some argue that the ads were
directed at people who needed their
parents to purchase the game for them
it’s doubtful many adult gamers think
too much about what their mother thinks
about the games they play others argued
the whole thing was just a funny joke
while some gamers who are parents
themselves detested the campaign is
trying to reinforce old cultural
stereotypes that don’t reflect society
today
gamers have grown up but someone at EA
didn’t get that memo
oh my goodness gracious number 4 call of
duty infinite warfare reveal call of
duty infinite warfare no ending this is
top hat sovereign departing deploy all
available assets immediately holy shit
well sci-fi movies and shows are all the
rage at the moment the gaming market is
oversaturated by the genre and when you
take the boots on the ground origin of
Call of Duty and launch it into space
there’s bound to be some backlash
players and critics praised the realism
and grit of the earlier entries and
there’s been a steady build-up to what
would eventually become infinite warfare
despite a lot of concerns from gamers in
the direction Call of Duty was heading
infinite warfare went as sci-fi as the
developers could take it and that was
the final straw for a lot of fans
let’s hope Call of Duty World War 2
brings them back to their roots
welcome to the body first you’re a long
way from Texas farm boy number 3 is a
mighty number 9 trailer mighty number 9
then you got to play this game dude
it’s friggin cool and crazy addictive oh
god please make them stop we don’t have
to tell you what makes this trailer so
controversial watch it listen to it and
you’ll understand there’s probably a –
that makes you breakfast I don’t know
great idea wait what Monty number 9 is
the product of a former Capcom producers
and money from fans worldwide totaling
nearly 4 million dollars
yep order and this is the result while
trying to capitalize on the success of
Megaman mighty number 9 was marketed as
a spiritual successor and it fails on
almost every level with quotes they
condescending towards the demographic
that it’s targeting it’s no wonder that
the trailer has over 40,000 dislikes and
Counting power up stuff that’ll make you
faster and
ronger and make those bad guys cry like
an anime fan on prom night number two
attack of the saints hitman absolution
okay so we have agent 47 murdering a
group of women in lingerie appeared to
be nuns how could the developers not
know this trailer was going to be a
hot-button topic of internet discussion
while the nuns are killers themselves
and the player is acting out in
self-defense it is a unique image it’s
hard to imagine how latex clad nuns
would make a good disguise but hey all
in the name of video games right
stabbing shooting and strangling women
dressed as nuns is like any other day
for this hitman number one hatred
gameplay trailer hatred I name is not
important what is important is what I’m
going to do games like grand theft also
get a lot of unnecessary hate due to the
fact you can go on a civilian killing
spree granted you can do that but it’s
not the main aim of the game hatred on
the other hand rewards this exact
behavior and the trailer highlights the
sadistic psychopath that you take
control of in your rampage watching a
man prepare for a mass murder spree
while spouting how we detest humanity is
unnerving the added highlights of
torture and executions don’t do it any
favors either
