Greatest trailer ever?

Did anyone else get chills down their spine while watching the "rendezvous" trailer

#2 Posted by DirrtyNinja (715 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

A great poem by Alan Seeger

#3 Edited by Player1 (3749 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yes I did for sure. It was my theme at gamespot. Heres the poem from the trailer (not the full version)

I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade
It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath
I have a rendezvous with Death
And I to my pledged word am true
I shall not fail that Rendezvous

not bad, its in the same vain as the mad world one. But i dont know why he dragged the body all that way seemed like there was others he could have used.

#5 Posted by Termite (2393 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yeah, it was pretty awesome

#6 Posted by Termite (2393 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yeah, it was pretty awesome

#7 Posted by Blu_Magic (2021 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

The rendezvous trailer is my favorite.

#8 Posted by Aaron_G (1578 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I thought it was a pretty good trailer.

#9 Posted by Warihay (463 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

It was good but Mad World is still the best.

#10 Posted by DarkLegend (1387 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

The first time, the second, you name it. The chill never stops.

#11 Edited by GagJ (77 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

That trailer was brilliant, and kind of made me believe that this time the stroy will be good, especially since Josh Ortega is saying that people at Epic cried, yes, cried

#12 Posted by Judoka (56 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Loved it. I kind of caught me off guard with the poem. I liked how he grabbed the locust and "mushed" his face.

#13 Posted by Kenzo287 (722 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

i liked the mad world one from the first they should do another one

#14 Edited by samcotts (2256 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Just incase somebody hasn't hasn't seen it.
It is one of my favourite trailers come to think of it. I remember watching it through the live feed of E3, and I was like "OMG, this is epic"!

#15 Posted by DARKIDO07 (876 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yeah that poem sent Chills down my spine.

#16 Posted by Player1 (3749 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

actually now that some of you saw it I did like mad world better. God gears has some sick trailers

#17 Posted by Vlademir (1029 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Gears of War has always had great trailers. I loved the Mad World one and now the Rendezvous trailer.

It was awesome but I liked Bare your teeth trailer more.

#20 Posted by Ziek (2 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Hell yeah. I'm playing through Gears 1 for the first time and it's fucking epic.

#21 Posted by scfan3 (27 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I have to agree....that trailer was epic. I finally got around to preordering the limited edition online since i had the EXACT store credit amount on my edge card for it. I need to stop going to gamestop >_>.

#22 Posted by epic_pets (1339 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Dark night trailer

#23 Posted by SSbabel (1141 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Does anyone know if can actually use the locus a shields? because if you can thats so dope.

#24 Posted by Bennyishere (1685 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

The voice clip is awesome, and the part where the Locust turns its mini-gun was very cool. Still, it didn't have the same impact on me as the trailer for Gears of War 1.

I have a rendezvous with Death
At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air-
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into his dark land
And close my eyes and quench my breath-
It may be I shall pass him still.
I have a rendezvous with Death
On some scarred slope of battered hill,
When Spring comes round again this year
And the first meadow-flowers appear.

God knows 'twere better to be deep
Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in blissful sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to breath,
Where hushed awakenings are dear...
But I've a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town,
When Spring trips north again this year,
And I to my pledged word am true,
I shall not fail that rendezvous.

yes, you can use them as meat shields

#27 Posted by BlackCoffee (81 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

yup you can use them as shields, and that was a awsome trailer not the best ever but its up there

#28 Posted by AG912 (20 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Damn fine trailer, that's what it is.

#29 Posted by tec3297 (1170 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I still think the teaser trailer was pretty awesome.

#30 Posted by REforever101 (258 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I liked it, but i thought the mad world one was better

however, this one is more related to the actual feel of the game

#31 Posted by Hulk (428 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Hulk like trailer but Hulk only ever get excited over gameplay videos.

#32 Posted by InnerBlueAbyss (125 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

The FF7 Tech Demo Trailer did it for me

#33 Posted by shadowjak (456 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

The trailer was great, but not nearly the greatest.

#34 Edited by youstolemykill (79 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Trailer was really awesome. Sent chills down my spine. Mad World still was better, but Marcus running with the Locus, with the drums beating. Awesome.

#35 Posted by OGCartman (4354 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Yes i did, it was nuts

#38 Posted by Callumrides (355 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

yeah it was a very good tralier

#39 Edited by Kramer (19 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

Why is everone forgetting about the trailer for DUKE NUKEM TRILOGY its the greatest most awsome most spectacular trailer ever!!!

#40 Posted by pwnmaster3001 (76 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

it was one of the best trailer of E3 for me. The Prince of Persia and God of War 3 trailers had it beat...

Better than RE5, Mirror's Edge, and Fallout 3 trailers

#41 Posted by Homer (1372 posts) - 4 years, 10 months ago

I was smiling during the whole thing.

Gears of War 2

Join Delta Squad once more in the fight against the Locust Horde, in this "bigger, better and more badass" sequel to the 2006 smash hit.
