FOR THE LOVE OF GAMES - Epic Cinematic Video Game Montage Rossatron 2019-03-07 | Check out my Raid-inspired new brutal action short film starring Jean-Paul Ly and Laurent Plancel: youtu.be/DhwZcHYSnf4As a gamer, I have come to really love these CG trailers made by companies such as Blur Studios and Digic Pictures, that aim to give a sense of what the game would feel like to play. Often they are not representative of what is in a game, but instead what they do offer is the chance for some incredibly talented teams to create visual stories in amazing worlds. Seen more as short films, they can be incredibly rich visual and audio experiences, that I wanted to celebrate with this video. I hope you enjoy it. It was also just really fun to edit. Obviously there are going to be ones you like not represented here, and some that I use more than others. This is due to a mix of what worked in the edit, my personal preferences, and of course just not being able to fit everything into a relatively short time. Also, some trailers here will be for games you may consider ‘bad’, but their trailers are excellent. Finally, some are cinematics from the game, but released as trailers too, so they are included.Let me know what I’ve missed, and who knows, maybe I will do another one.Music:Leaving Earth - Clint Mansell (Mass Effect 3)Rip and Tear - Mick Gordon (Doom)Dead Island trailer theme - Giles Lamb (Dead Island)Game footage taken from the trailers of (in order of appearance):PlanetSide 2Bioshock InfiniteHalo 2 AnniversaryElder Scrolls OnlineFor HonorBioshock 2The Crew 2Mafia 3Dead Rising 3Batman Arkham KnightStar Wars: The Old RepublicThe DivisionRise of the Tomb RaiderMarvel’s Spider-ManSplinter Cell BlacklistFinal Fantasy XIV A Realm RebornTitanfall 2World of WarcraftResident Evil: Operation Raccoon CityBrinkStar Wars: The Force UnleashedGod of WarWar ThunderStarcraft 2Mortal Kombat XLeague of LegendsHalo Wars 2Dragon Age OriginsOverwatchTotal War: Three KingdomsHalo 5Deux Ex: Mankind DividedDoomMass Effect 3Far Cry 3Gears of War 4Dead IslandAssassin’s Creed UnityThe Witcher 3: Wild HuntDishonoredUncharted 4Assassin’s Creed OriginsOverkill’s The Walking DeadDestiny 2Battlefield 1Just Cause 4Cyberpunk 2077
