I have rewatched MGSV trailers multiple times, and I find this combination of 5+ minutes videos with scenes and music building the right atmosphere to be amazing. The other thing is, that for some, they created fake expectations of what story was going to be about.
Death Stranding first trailer is also great, it’s just one scene from the game, and you have no slightest idea what’s going on.
I always enjoyed the Portal 2 trailers with Cave Johnson
Both of the Halo 3 and Halo Reach trailer campaigns were fantastic
Yeah my vote would be pretty much any live-action Halo trailer, especially from Halo 3 and ODST.
The Satisfactory trailers
Gears of War. You know the one.
And Dead Island.
Here are a few that stuck in my mind throughout the years:
- FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn - End of an Era - even for someone completely uninterested in FFXIV this thing went hard. Heck, re-watching it now still gives me chills.
- Kane & Lynch 2 Dog Days - War Junkie - I love the contrast between the rough and shitty situation of a dude who can’t let go of criminal life compared to a psychopath who managed to get his life together.
- Leviathan: Warships Jazzy Trailer with Jazz Boatman - smooth and sultry, like a boat (I don’t know what this suppose to mean but the trailer is great).
The trailer for Deus Ex: Human Revolution has to be one of my favorites
The cinematic trailers for OG Guild Wars.
The Battlefield 1 trailer.
I had never played a Battlefield game, and that trailer got me pumped enough to buy it at launch. Also, WWI was such an interesting (and horrifying) war.
No Man’s Sky trailers for updates are pretty good. Always watch them even if I don’t play it much. All gameplay, great transitions, great background music.
The original Overwatch trailer. https://youtu.be/FqnKB22pOC0
Nothing will ever top the Modern Warfare 2 Infamy trailer.
Imagine it is 2009 and you have no idea what the future of COD looks like, no clue what is going to happen in MW2, and you see this trailer.
Sonic Adventure will always stand out to me
Farm Sim trailers are very enjoyable, both the newer rock music ones

As for all time favorites, the Warcraft 3 trailer still lives in my head. Even remember the words.
