today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten worst video game trailers
before we begin we publish new videos
every day so be sure to subscribe for
more great content for this list we’re
looking at what we consider to be the
worst most asinine video game trailers
of all time and having a good laugh at
them along the way
number 10 time splitters rewind way back
in 2012 some fans of the woefully
underappreciated timesplitters series
were granted permission to create an
elaborate mod using CryEngine 3 well it
looks like they actually pulled it off
because no one behold we have a trailer
yeah it’s just too bad it kind of sucks
what we’re treated to is nearly two
minutes of green crystals floating
through space like some kind of crappy
screensaver followed by the time
splitters rewind logo and the release
year there’s no weapons no gameplay nope
there’s nothing really while we’re hyped
for some more time splitters this
trailer has done nothing to further that
excitement number nine mighty number
nine
you look at the screen let me ask you a
question do you like awesome things that
are awesome has there ever been a bigger
disappointment from Kickstarter after
being initially praised for its concept
lady number nine eventually lost the
faith of its potential fans via numerous
delays and an appalling trailer which
damn near infuriated everyone lob
gameplay admittedly doesn’t look too bad
cuz we hadn’t played it yet
the trailers voiceover is pretty damn
cringe complete with some spectacular
Lee failed lines which only made the
fanbase kind of upset like the infamous
prom night joke don’t that’ll make you
faster and stronger and make the bad
guys cry like an anime fan on prom night
the trailer was so dreadful that the CEO
of co-developer inti creates even took
to Twitter to publicly dis own it
calling it unforgivable my name number
nine number eight Saul brain knight of
darkness
[Music]
okay we got to ask is this some kind of
joke
well we might have forgiven this had it
been a rough demo or something this
looks to be an official trailer and it’s
one of the worst we’ve ever seen so I’m
gonna actually sat down watch this and
thought yeah looks good good job
everyone
we don’t know what’s worse really the
iMovie graphics the looping gameplay
footage of a character walking against
shareable backdrops with constant
texture pop-in or the fact that this
trailer was actually released on the
official PlayStation YouTube channel on
top of all that it was later discovered
that many of the in-game assets were
straight-up stolen who okayed this
[Music]
number seven skylight free range to
docked wine or something
all right Sony you got us okay this
one’s a joke right oh dear in a move
that’s honestly completely baffling to
us Sony actually advertised this game on
their YouTube channel to a game that
looks terribly dated even by PlayStation
one standards I mean what are you even
doing this game because it looks like
you just kind of walk around
is it even completed why does this exist
while we’re sure that some people will
ironically try it out and report back to
us the rest of us are just here to stare
into it will be–will durmand number six
life of black tiger
okay it’s really not funny anymore but
Sony’s YouTube account hacked or
something maybe someone wants to go over
there and make sure that they’re alright
we don’t know how this one slipped past
quality control because not only to the
graphics and gameplay look like total
unplayable garbage but there are even
bugs in the friggin trailer how do you
show bugs in your trailer
how does someone honestly approve this
[Music]
what’s even funnier is that so many
advertised this game as a realistic and
vivid experience let that sink in a
second
[Music]
number five bombshell
this trailer definitely didn’t drop a
bombshell on us we all tell you that
much the trailer is nothing but a well
it’s a graphics showcase we guess as we
watch the camera pan around bombshells
mechanical exterior as she watches TV
great then we’re treated to what’s
supposed to be a badass moment of her
riding in front of explosions but we’re
kind of left laughing at the ridiculous
stock music and the amateur explosion
effects the resulting response was so
toxic that 3d realms decided to scrap
what they had and just start from
scratch
number four duke nukem trilogy
explosions guns duke nukem are you
pumped yet because we sure as hell
aren’t this infamous trailer was
actually shown at e3 in 2008 and while
we think that they were going for pure
unfiltered testosterone what we were
left with instead was one of the
goofiest trailers in existence rather
than showing any gameplay we were
instead left with a slideshow that
pretty much a ten-year-old could have
made consisting of Duke’s theme song
explosions a ridiculous floating picture
of Duke and the titles for three and a
half friggin minutes on top of that only
one of the three planned games was
released and the results were not good
[Music]
number three champion jockey g1 jockey
and gallop racer
[Music]
let’s be serious all right Jokke video
games seems like they would only appeal
to a very niche market trailers like
this aren’t gonna do the many services
either in the eyes of the mainstream
playerbase literally everything about
this trailers bad first there’s the
horrendous music then there’s the
amateur graphics that were probably made
on a Mac in about five minutes
[Music]
the game itself by the way looks like
garbage and let’s not forget the clearly
embarrassed actor who was forced to
gallop and is trying his hardest not to
laugh the entire time you know you
messed up when even your actors can’t
keep a straight face
number two we dare no it’s fun playing
Wii games with your friends you know
what’s dumb playing Wii games that are
just thinly veiled excuses for mild
sexual behavior
this trailer immediately made the rounds
on the Internet as everyone laughed and
cringed as we watched terrible actors
partake in mildly sexual actions with a
weed controller the trailer wants so
badly to be quirky and sexy but it comes
across this really childish instead the
trailer was pulled in the United States
probably because it was so bad and the
game was never released in the US or the
UK
good job marketing team good job number
one wolf quest how could it be anything
but wolf quest this is the granddaddy of
terrible video game trailers and it
still retains its spot as the king all
these years later the trailer truly is a
combination of everything that makes a
laughably bad advertisement you have
your rather hilarious transition from
live action to embarrassing graphics you
have your atrocious looking gameplay
throw in some awful child actors who
literally growl at the camera and do not
forget the goofy repetitive stock music
this is just so awful that we kinda love
it do you agree with our picks check out
