10 Best Video Game Trailers Of All Time

10. Prey 2 - Bounty Trailer

The one word that can sum up this trailer is unfair; because it's unfair that the developers could produce such an enticing, exciting and compelling advertisement for a game that never came to be.

The woeful story of this sequel to the 2006 sci-fi title Prey is full of disappointment, as Bethesda cancelled it due to quality concerns - there are over 76 reasons why that's suspicious. Maybe this was a good thing, though, because what are the chances this game would have matched the trailer?

This short ad feels like a complete story that could be at home in Love, Death and Robots. The beautifully animated short gives you some pulse-pounding action, a lavish sci-fi city and an easily understandable narrative that centres on a bounty hunter on the prowl. Even those who weren't familiar with its predecessor were desperate to delve into this high-tech future.

It's full of solid voice acting and some outstanding character elements. While the visuals themselves are clearly the selling point, the small details like the protagonist's coy smirk when he's faced with danger shows you everything you need to know about who you'd be playing as and the vibes it was going for.
