Inspired by a thread over at GAF, I thought this would make for a fun thread. The premise is to create a game trailer with text that would, in your opinion, result in mass happiness for gamers everywhere. You can create them for sequels to your favorite games or even as how you would do current games that might deserve a trailer. Also cult favorites and mainstream megahits all get a chance to shine under the sun here. So with that all said, let's have at it!

And just so you get an idea of the thread, here's a fairly lengthy one I did for Jet Set 3:

Alternate teaser idea from my first one:

A television set turns on and the programming seems to be the norm, nothing unusual. Suddenly, the "show" you were currently "watching" goes to a commercial break, where you are greeted to a rather eccentric figure with dreads smirking towards the audience. He flips a switch on the control panel in front of him.

You now see a scene of a normal moment in cel-shaded New York City (Times Square, Bedford-Stuyvesant), Paris (The Eiffel Tower), Venice (Italy), Amsterdam, Tokyo (Shibuya & Akibara; Japan), Sydney (Australia), Johannesburg (South Africa), Mumbai (India), Hong Kong (China), Kingston (Jamaica), Rio de Janeiro (Brazil), Central Area (Singapore), and Quezon City (Philippines). The universal sounds of hustle and bustle about a city are your only background sounds for most of this quick montage.

The screen then transitions back to our eccentric host. He asks the audience a question:

"Tell me all mah underground brahs and sistahs, what do all of these places have in common?"

The screen does another quick transition where we see all of those places again, but now the camera is picking out some younger looking individuals, 1 male and 1 female per locale, all of whom are noticeably getting into position. For what? We aren't sure yet.

On the screen transition to the Japanese side of things, we see two people wearing distinct sets of roller blades on the top of a building with music faintly playing in the background. The screen transitions to them tying their laces without showing their faces. One dons a yellow shirt and the other dons a green hoodie.

We go back to our eccentric host only to be greeted with a very sly and confident grin.

"Find out soon when Jet Set goes live..."

Suddenly, we get a group shot of the different characters, each from their own different world, culture and with their own unique characterizations and appearances collectively put one foot forward revealing similar blades to what our Japanese duo were wearing.

Screen goes to black. You hear Professor K scratch out "Jet Set Studios" and see the logo appear. Wii + Compatible with Motionplus + WiFi Connection/360 + Live/PS3 + PSN Online logos appear under the game logo.

Cue awesome Naganuma opening clip. Cue our Japanese duo grabbing some nearby paint cans jumping off the side of the building.

*COMING SPRING 2010*

*Commercial ends*

We now return you to your regularly scheduled presentation.

SEEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAA!
