Fantastic Trailer: Dead Island

The game itself is NOT the point. How the trailer was presented IS the point.

 

Most gameplay trailers and cinematics don't grip me nearly as much as watching this trailer. Watching it in reverse and in slo-mo was only part of it...how they picked what scenes and where was the other part of the equation. I found myself unable to lose focus on it and watched each frame intently on catching what was going on that caused that end-result.

 

THAT was why I wanted to share this video. I'm sure we are going to start seeing a lot more reverse slo-mo trailers now but this was very interesting in how it was presented.

At first I thought they had just taken the entire thing and reversed it (Because I accidentally clicked the 'View in forward on IGN' button when I enlarged it). Rewatching it and not just stopping after the first scene reveals that it's a genius trailer. THey give you the outcome then everything that led up to it. I like a trailer that makes you think.
