Great trailers to games that were less than stellar

Title is pretty self explanitory. For me its this:

You KNOW somebody is gonna say halo...

Anyways, even though it scored AAA here, I would say Assassin's Creed.

Youtube really has turned to crap. It was The Last Remnant btw.

Fore Unleashed comes to mind.thepoop7

Assassin's Creed. It looked like a really cool game when that first trailer came out. I still enjoyed it but it felt like a chore at times.

FEAR 2

Final Fantasy XIII, great trailer, ok game.

RE5

At first it looked really cool, but at the end it wasn't anything else than a mindless shooter.

prototype and both assassin's creeds.

All Advent Rising trailers. Especially this one

Easily prototype.

The original Motorstorm.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution full E3 trailer :P

There is no way the game can live up to it.

Also, Star Wars: Force Unleashed. It wasn't a horrible game, but the trailers seemed to show so much more potential than the final product. It was mostly driven by its great story sequences and a few cool physics gimmicks. I didn't get nearly the satisfaction of force/lightsaber combat that I got out of the Jedi Knight series.

Assassins Creed 1

Before the game came out, I was thinking it was gonna be one of the best games ever. Turned out to be a great game (IMO) but very disappointing none the less.

The game was good but disapointing

This trailer was brilliant, especially the music from 1.30 to the last second! Unfortunatly the game couldnt be a bigger disappointment, at least to me :?

Legendary. This game sucked, a lot.

any trailer to any MMO game ever

games like WoW and the old republic come to mind (yes i know it's not out yet) and what i mean by that is the actual games themselves are GOOD, and these CGi trailers look AMAZING, but they have absolutely NOTHING to do with the actual game

i mean everyone has gotten so indulged over the last two old republic trailers and yes they are eye candy and simply amazing...it's just it has nothing to do with the game ya know?

My thoughts exactly.

SW: The Force Unleashed. That game was a whole bunch of meh.

Naughty Bear :) I mean the concept looked cool and all but apparently thats it.

Off the top of my head:

Grand Theft Auto IV. Rockstar knows how to make a great trailer and they deliver on the games...Usually...>.> Niko's considered a psychopath by everyone he meets (even Johnny of The Lost) and there was simply not enough action there was hyped up to be by both trailers and the series' history.

I wish BioShock had gameplay like this. I knew it wouldn't, but I was hoping the gameplay would be decent and the atmosphere would absorb me. I should've paid more attention to actual gameplay. Seriously, when a shotgun doesn't send someone flying at point blank range who isn't a million pounds nor rooted to the ground, you know something's wrong. It ruined any chance of being immersed with the game for me.

Off-topic: I should stop using GameTrailers. The commercials are so annoying. :x

Edit: Resident Evil 5 needed more (yes, this was from a trailer), less lame scare attempts, and a lot less Sheva.

I was so young and impressionable back in 2004.

Why Nintendo, why? :cry:

I would probably say the first Killzone, I was expecting so much more from that game. This gen it would be Redsteel I think.

Haven't played it, but I'd probably agree if I did. I put some of the blame on the overall hype the Wii generated, seeing as Red Steel was one of the first games announced for it. Great sequel though.

On paper, it should have been one of the best Zelda's ever. I don't know, the whole game felt....uninspired. I'm cautiously optimistic about Skyward Sword.

I have heard its a great sequel, I plan on picking it up at some point seeing as Im going to get motion plus with the sport resort game for my daughter over the summer :).

My hype for Skyward Sword is AAAAA ever since seeing that concept art, which incidentally does not look like the real game at all. I have already completely set myself up for disappointment. =P
