I remember distinctly hearing this song in the movie “Donnie Darko.” “Donnie Darko” is something a time piece of the youth of the time. While I cannot recall the exact setting when I first heard Gary Jules “Mad World,” but it was not through the Gears of War trailer. Youth of the nineties were cynical, but the attitude of young people shifted in the 2000s into something similar but much sadder, a submission to depression. It has become a time piece of brooding nature of an entire generation, when goth and emo infiltrated the musical art scene. Gary Jules “Mad World” perfectly captures the gloom of depression. This is a musicblog, and I try to stay on topic. I believe this was the moment when video games at last had a trailer as good or better than movies.Ĭlearly, the Gears of War trailer is very good, but the significance of music cannot be overlooked, or understated. Like an action horror movie, I love those. Things look hopeless, but I am confident that refrigerator of a man can handle it. I never even played Gears of War, but I have forever been curious about it since that trailer is so dark and haunting. Surely there is a high number of potential trailers to nominate, but my vote goes to the original Gear of War trailer. The hyper specific topic I hope to explore today is the first video game trailer that surpassed the quality and feel of a good movie trailer. The above quote from the Final Fantasy trailer was an excellent way to advertise the game. “The story of a love that can never be, and a hate that always was.” I am also, not talking about the first good video game trailer, which is probably “Final Fantasy VII,” primitive by today’s standards but back when “Final Fantasy VII’s” trailer was first released, even people who did not care about Final Fantasy were excited, even people who did not care about video games were excited. Just to be clear, I am not talking about the best video game trailer, that is often considered to be “Dead Island” which shows a family overrun by zombies with interchanging scenes working chronologically forward and backward until the two narrative meet in the middle over lain with an extremely moody piano piece. There was a time when a video game even having a trailer was a novelty, now I am discovering an interest not only in a tonne of games I will never have time to play but also, I am discovering fun new songs all the time in those said video game trailers. I cannot be the only person who has noticed the vast improvement in video game trailers over the past few decades. Serious question when did video game trailers become superior to movie trailers? ![]()
