How to develop a good game trailer?

Hey, guys, what are the techniques for creating a good trailer!

@sonakshi: Hey @tilenm, I want to know about the ideas like the techniques for creating a good trailer which should find curiosity among the gamers by seeing the trailer.

You could do what Bethseda does with the case of Wolfenstein. Real life footage with relations to the game then adds some gameplay after.

@thedelts: Or do what UBISOFT does......Show one thing and give us something entirely the opposite.

Or do what the guy from the game in his avatar does and just promise random stuff that won't be in the game.

On a bit more serious note: I expect from a trailer to get an idea of the world, the music, the artstyle, the characters and the gameplay of the game. I hate trailers that don't show gameplay or only show gameplay. I also hate teasers. Just give me all I need to know in 1-2 minutes.

@ArchoNils2: HAHA Touche, It's a lot better after a year but I like that example.

@cyberpunk_2077: Yeah i heard it got better, but I still don't want to go back. If only they were honest and called it an Early Access title with a lot of features missing I wouldn't have felt so cheated

@ArchoNils2: To be fair I bought it a few months back but I can understand where you are coming from. I could try make excuses for them but sod that.

Give it a go if ever you run out of things to play. Do it for the Gamer in you and not for HG!

The problem is that I never run out of games. That's why most games only get one chance from me. I have - literally - thousand of games on my to do list xD

@ArchoNils2: Haha, well may be one day lol. I'm waiting on some new releases for the time being. Next year is what I'm waiting for at the moment.

Perhaps NMS has gotten lucky with me. Haven't played anything other than this for a while now.
