10 Greatest Video Game Trailers Of 2013 So Far
6. The Order 1886
Now here is the dark horse of the year. This was one of those games that was totally unheard of, unannounced and just totally unexpected. No one knew anything about its existence until it was shown at E3, and when it was first released this trailer did a good job leaving its mark on the audience. Despite witnessing the slow first few moments. You could already tell that this game was going to be something to remember.
Just the narration is enough to get viewers excited to see what was coming next. I know I praised the voice-over in the Call Of Duty trailer, but this is on par, if not better than it. When the narration kicked in, showing the knights with their weapons riding in a carriage followed by a knight looking out the window, showing us a Victorian era London you could pretty much understand where the concept was going thus making it a very predictable trailer.

Up until now I didnt really mention this aspect because there weren't any other trailers which conveyed the impact that music could have on the viewer until now.
I am not a fan of the character design and models, I think they could have done much better with the way each character was portrayed and the look of the character, however, I do think that they suit the whole Victorian theme, even down to their names. However who wants to watch a trailer when they know what's coming?
