10 Best Video Game Trailers Of All Time

The gaming industry is inherently bombastic, as many studios try to grab the attention of players by throwing everything at them and leaving little to the imagination. But, Rockstar proved with this one that sometimes, less is more.

Fans of this classic western shooter were chomping at the bit for a sequel, so this trailer was like the holy grail for them. Players weren't entirely sure what to expect, but this beautiful ad came along and treated them to some glimpses of the incredible world Rockstar had built, and it got the hype train rolling.

Panning through multiple areas, showing incredible sights like the starry sky, luscious farmland, and some hints to characters and motivations made this minute-long experience an absolute treat. It gives you plenty whilst also holding back, meaning that it was a perfect tease for what was to come.

While some fans might appreciate the later trailers better for giving more context to the narrative and a more comprehensive look at the world, this one still stands above the rest as it gave you a great sense of intimacy and scope at the same time.

It's certainly a delight to watch and knows not to overstay its welcome.
