UNFORGETTABLE MOVIE TRAILER 2014 FULL

This new Prince feels different from his generically impressive former self, because Sglpur has given him a different tone. The crescendo of the song comes just as Elika turns their battlefield into a lush, sunlit landscape, showing this is what the game is meant to be about: these two rebuilding the world. It also strengthens the mystical nature of their combat, and it feels like the music is given form through the Prince and Elika's colorful explosions of magic. That's what makes the E3 trailer for the 2008 Prince of Persia reboot so interesting: it presents the Prince in a more thoughtful light, and the accompanying song - Sigur Ros' dreamy ballad 'Sglpur' - shows just how different this Prince of Persia is meant to be.Īvoiding the quick transitions between fight scenes that you might expect to see, Sglpur's gentle rhythm slows the trailer down, honing in on the way the characters move together and the world they're moving through. The point is to make the Prince look like a proper action hero, but it pushes a simplistic view of who he really is. When it comes to Prince of Persia trailers, Ubisoft has a format they like to stick to: footage of the Prince beating up enemies and using time-travel acrobatics, while a Moviefone narrator talks very seriously about destiny. Watch it here Prince of Persia - 'Sglpur' We're gonna need a lot of guns.and 96.5% more wub wub. The thumping beat of 'Doomsday' accentuates the quick shots of Borderlands 2's gameplay, accelerating your pulse until the volume plummets and Handsome Jack makes his appearance. Mostly, though, it's a colorful departure from typical gritty shooters and it simply wants you to have a good time doing violence on Pandora. The 87 bazillion guns get bazillionder, there are more skills (for the payment of bigger bills), and its 1,000 degrees hotter. Borderlands 2 cranks up the volume in every way possible. Really, what other kind of tune are you going to put behind a trailer that tells you to 'Get ready to joy puke your face off'? Jazz? Stop.īorderlands is a game that rejoices in its absurdity, revels in its violence, and reminds us that shooting things is a really, really fun thing to do. Go ahead and get all the hate for that particular overused musical style out of your system, because Nero's 'Doomsday' is the perfect backdrop for the delightfully bombastic, cheerfully ridonkulous action of Borderlands 2.

I still get chills when Jules croons the chorus just as Marcus is desperately firing on a gargantuan Locust he can't possibly defeat. The song was certainly memorable in Donnie Darko, but the Gears of War launch trailer makes it absolutely unforgettable for an entire generation of gamers.

It's all anchored to Gary Jules' somber cover of 'Mad World', which puts the sadness of Tears for Fears' original lyrics into focus. You've got to appreciate just how big of a gamble it was for Microsoft and Epic to advertise their new red-blooded, M-rated shooter - packed with guns-blazing violence and chainsaw bayonets - by giving a brief, perfectly-scored glimpse into the forlorn desolation of the post-Emergence Day apocalypse. And juxtaposing soft, melancholy piano melodies with Marcus Fenix's alleyway encounter against the Locust hordes creates the kind of attention-demanding scene that can enrapture anyone. The most memorable trailers can strike a chord with people who have no intention of playing video games in general, let alone the one that's being advertised. Rockstar is good at a lot of things, but ever since Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, it's been an expert at creating the perfect soundtrack, and Michael's trailer is its ultimate masterwork. Even the melody evokes strains of melancholy in its immensely danceable beat, punctuated by scenes showing exactly how Michael's life is falling apart around him. Michael is a man attempting to regain the feeling of the glory days of his youth, when a big score was around every corner, but finds nothing beyond the regrets that come with mid-life crisis. The lyrics are a perfect metaphor for Michael's existential plight - a grasp at nostalgia for days gone by, when listening to the radio was something that mattered, not just 'some background noise'.

As Michael begins to question what he really wants, Queen's 'Radio Ga Ga' forms the backdrop for one man's quest for meaning in a town full of fleeting opportunities to find it, and I honestly can't think of a better fit for this spectacular, explosive trailer. But he also has nothing his family hates him, and his days are filled with a crushing sense of self-loathing and worthlessness. He has the dream the big house, the family, the money. 'What do you want, Michael?' asks a psychiatrist as a drum machine begins marching and keyboard strains slowly lift in the background.
