Live-Action trailers can also be rather expensive to produce depending on their scope. Some indie games like Enter the Dungeon, Dead Cells and Broforce produced animated trailers for announcements or launch trailers.
These are frequently made for AAA games both because they're cool as heck, but also because it can take a very very long time for big budget games to look presentable to the public this is a way to present the game without actually showing it.ĢD animation isn't as expensive as 3D CG animation, but still very expensive to make. Typically, a separate CG production company works with the developers to make a very shiny and exciting short film trailer to fulfill the imagery, tone and story requirements of an announcement. Cinematic trailers are often the announce trailer for big budget games. Here's where we dive into AAA game territory. Supergiant Games is very good at this they announced both their games Transistor and Pyre before a PAX event, and then had it playable there for the first time ever, which meant a MASSIVE amount of press both before, during, and after the show.Īnother important thing to note: announce trailers typically receive the most views, so you really want to make sure it's good first impressions are everything! Don't be surprised if this trailer ends up being used in all articles about your game despite making newer and shinier ones I've seen it happen all the time. When released the week before the event, these trailers function like a signal flare to press outlets to pay attention and set up appointments. So the minimalist approach is not only a good stylistic choice, but highly practical.Īnnounce trailers can come out at any time, but most frequently coincide with a major event like E3, GDC, Gamescom, TGS, PAX, or many other game shows. This teaser approach is especially good for games, because this early in development it's likely there's very little of the game to show. The first thing to announce: "Hey, this game is a thing!" Typically light on story, but heavy on imagery and tone.
