I can't tell if your telling the truth or not. It's certainly something I can believe happening. But I very much doubt any language, esspecialy a language with english in the name, doesn't have a word for empire.
@@UkuleleVillain The weird thing is, I almost went with Grenadian Creole French but decided against it for that very reason. I wanted to make it less believable. Unfortunately, it seems that nothing is ridiculous enough to be obvious anymore.
One of MGSV’s trailers has Kaz Look right into camera to spoil the games twist, then Kojima claimed Kaz was talking to Kojima himself and everyone went, ‘alright I can see that, textbook Kojima move’
I still don’t think Jackie dying in CP2077 was meant to happen so early, that montage of V and Jackie the ended with 6 months later still feels like it was cut content...
Yeah, it really feels like you were supposed to play up until V got their own place, that way you have more interactions with Mama Welle's and T-Bug so you're at all attached to those characters. Then they could montage a few months of Jackie and V living it up, really making a name for themselves, but the sudden jump from "complete outsider to this way of life" to "seasoned veteran" is kinda jarring, especially since V still doesn't seem to know anyone after the jump.
Yeah it's a real head scratcher when a trailer spoils something big in a game. It's like are people just not communicating to each other in different departments. Or do they think no one will notice
Yeah same, I’m completely baffled. These people seem to know NOTHING about the internet if they think people won’t dissect every single frame and sound effect till the game comes out, so why give away any spoiler ? Most of these franchises were huge already so it’s not like they needed to capture the attention of gamers...
It's like when at the start of some documentaries they play a little short summary that spoils it. The marketing people are so desperate to get people hooked, they don't care if they ruin the experience, and there's no artistry to it.
The way I like to trick myself into thinking I'm not getting spoiled is thinking, "That looked important, but I don't know where in the game that's from." Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Helpful trick if somebody spoils a story on timeline or something
This is how I don’t start getting real sad about a beautiful plot point that gets spoilt. I just think of all the ways ‘it doesn’t make sense to do that!’ Etc. or I just try to forget about it by focusing on other parts. Also,,, it helps to not play the game until several years after it got spoilt, gives u plenty of time to forget.
I have never cared about spoilers. Because just because a asshole says the ending of the game with a few sentences will never beat actually going there and doing it all yourself. It's not just about the story it's about the experience and no one can do a full experience justice within a sentence or two. Plus they usually always say the what and not the why or any other context so it's never mattered to me
@@marhawkman303 I, uh... don't think the current A.I. turned out any better. lol Then again, the overall story wasn't much better. Kinda ticked off that the game leaned so heavily on Johnny Silverhand vs. your character in V. Life Path's should have actually mattered. Though if rumors are to be believed, they changed to story to fit around him, and if true... oof.
@@nathanwinters2400 the way I understand it based on watching the previews, was that life paths were meant to be the starting point... and sometimes an additional dialog option. Thus more a flavor thing than a gameplay thing.
I didn't see what Sephiroth did there (until it was too late). Seriously though, Cloud's reaction time is hella off in that scene! Seph takes about a full minute swooping down in various cool camera angles before he makes the killer blow! Call yourself a super soldier, Cloud?! (We still miss you, Aeris... sorry, Aerith.)
And we're gonna find out the version we got was a demo, and it's gonna be in development for another 5 decades. Future civilizations will always ask the question "when will cyberpunk be released?"
I'm glad I never saw that Fallen Order teaser, because the Darth Vader reveal was a legit surprise for me and really served to heighten the tension and excitement of the last part of the game as you realize how unbelievably strong he is compared to your character and really hammers home that you would stand ono chance against him. In fact, it's all you can do to even run away. Just the right amount of character implementation in my view, and all this effect because I accidently avoided a spoiler teaser. See game devs? This is the impact you can make in the game itself if you can show some restraint in your commercials.
I think they’re probably as annoyed as you are. I don’t think devs have control over the marketing of the game, imagine how annoyed they feel when they’ve put so much effort into their cool surprise and some idiot on the marketing team goes “oh yeah that looks cool, let’s slap that into the trailer”
The way you can see the screen reflected in Jane's eyes is terrifying. I feel like I'm staring into Prudence's eyes and all I see is a desire for power.
I'm so glad I never watch trailers before completing any game I'm even slightly interested in. Spoilers are so blatant in some of them it's just ridiculous. Same goes for movies...
I did too so when I saw the trailer in 2019 I was like ok so I’m gonna do everything I can to keep him alive, so when it happened I was pissed since they spoilt it but also since they killed such a promising character..
I never saw that trailer so I was pretty shocked that Jackie died (really well voice-acted scene by V. btw), but I kinda hoped it was the result of me fucking up the escape from the hotel.
The sad thing, it was. Originally it was a possible outcome and not the only outcome before CDPR decided to trash everything and redo it all as first person only....
@@bravo1520 True. I mean, it'd never been done ever, not even in any other medium like TV, books, or movies, until KOTOR did it.......especially since it definitely wasn't a spin on the "you were the (insert whatever) THE WHOLE TIME" cliche.
@@custos3249 My dude you don't know what the world was like in 2003, did you? Cliche would be raw edge or raw badass. Not actual plot twists Small.edit: Reminder that 2003 is just as Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire came out, for a reference on Time and hype.
Not all "fanfics" are terrible... I mean, games like the Batman: Arkham series and Spider-Man PS4 and Miles Morales are basically "fanfics" made by Rocksteady and Insomniac respectively, you know.
Even World in Conflict and Red Alert 2 kinda acknowledge this. Either way, such buildings can actually be real life warzones if and when a war happens in American shores, and believe me, I would love to watch the enemy suffer because of them.
Assassin’s Creed 2. I was like 14 the year it released and I was hyped to heck. Surprise surprise, pretty much ALL of the trailers showed Ezio’s family being killed, often with voiceover from devs saying; “Oh yes, SOMETHING big happens to Ezio, and then he goes on his quest!”. Admittedly it was only in the first hour or two of gameplay, but you can’t expect me to be suprised when it happens, when literally EVERY TRAILER TOLD ME IT WOULD.
@@daniellins4114 Honestly it seemed like there was a disconnect between what the devs thought the trailer would contain and what the trailers actually contained. All of the voiceover was trying to be coy and not give away what the huge event was.... while the trailer clearly showed exactly what the event was, so that's what made me think it 'spoiled' itself. Although maybe logistically they didn't know how much they were going to reveal in trailers when the footage was recorded, which is why they were so vague.
@@JasmineFaith unfortunately that's a common problem in many pieces of media, the people who make traulers aren't necessarily the ones that wrote the story and they may show things the writers wouldn't want them to
I always find it amusing that you can watch someone die one minute, and then use a spray, drink a potion, stab a needle to top up your own health the next. Just give him one of your 74 health puffers.
That's because they don't really die in battle, they just get knocked out. They only really die if everyone gets knocked out, resulting in a game over It's an abstraction of table top RPG mechanics where if a party member reaches 0 hp they only die if they fail 3 saving throws before someone can stabilize them
@IEa Jackson Normally I'd agree with you, but this is a video about trailers that spoil the game. So a) it was already spoiled by the trailer and b) of course people are gonna comment about the things talked about in the video. Maybe don't read the comments for that kind of video if you don't wanna be spoiled.
An odd bit of trivia for a GAME that spoiled the ending of a MOVIE before it came out, the Matrix Online came out before The Matrix Revolution and stated that it took place after the film, which concluded that the Matrix still existed at the end of the movie and Neo had "died".
Kingdom Hearts 3. the trailers for that game spoiled almost all the main plot points. ...though, to be fair, there wasn't really another way to hint at all the plotlines that were getting wrapped up.
Since Cyberpunk 2077 was advertised as an RPG with a lot of paths when I saw that trailer I just assumed if you screw up on the mission Jackie died but that you could save him if you took different choices, disappointed that wasn't what happened.
My dad had a trailer in our back garden. He used it once or twice but after a year or so it mostly sat rusting covered in tarp. I kept doing "science experiments" that mostly entailed me chucking chemicals from the kitchen and shed into a pile behind the trailer. It's still there now, I'm thirty now and that was twenty years ago.
no i didn’t know he was going to die and i didn’t want him to die like in the trailer is unbelievable, i wish i didn’t see it at all stupid cyberpunk trailer of him actually dying and i didn’t know it was in the opening of the game just upsets me even more seeing this again, and you cant save him no matrix what you say, or do before the fateful mission, during the mission or after that fateful mission wish you could skip that mission all together, but its currently improved maybe they will add ability to skip missions you dont wanna do anymore
I still recall this channel's vid about demos and trailers that did a total bait-and-switch, including FF XV. Trailers really run the gamut, don't they?
See, I had a different experience as a 13yr old in Texas. I had no clue ff7 was coming. I heard literally nothing... I had played ff1, and ff2 (4) and ff3 (6, and my most favorite ever game). So there I was, walking around target with my mom, i had a little bit of money and I was looking in the video game section, just browsing (back when the games were locked behind glass as there were no empty game boxes to browse).. and then I saw it, final fantasy 7.. I remember saying outloud, "What happened to the other 3??? How do you go from 3 to 7???" and then I had to have it. I only had 40 bucks of saved up pocket money, and had to beg my mom for the other 20.. well worth the extra chores. I even managed to get hold of a game guide for it the next day at a book shop my mom dragged me to for even more extra chores... and you know, I never friggin beat it... I burned out trying breeding flying chocobos to try and get knights of the round materia, and i never ever beat it... fucking 5 hours of chocobo breeding is what killed the game for me. all other bosses done
Haha, in FFX-2 I once spent an afternoon farming an optional mini-boss because it had a chance to drop a useful bit of gear. But... I had to kill it a bare minimum of 33 times to get what I wanted. Since A: I wanted 3 of the item, and b: only the Oversoul form drops it, and you fight the Oversoul form only after you kill the normal form 10 times. As a sidenote I got quite a bit of class mastery done. I mean beating the ---- out of a mini-boss dozens of times gives you more than just loot drops :D
So glad I avoided all the trailers for C'77 now, 'cause that moment really did get me when it happened, though they signposted it so heavily in the run-up to that mission that I don't think anyone was in any doubt that it was going to happen, heh.
The only reason I had any doubt that the whole team would die was that you could conspire to screw over Dex. It really gave off a vibe that the heist would be a turning point, but that it could go two different ways depending on if you stay on Dex's side or not.
I was so excited about Quake 4 and bought it as soon as it was released. Thankfully I didn't watch any trailers - the name was enough to sell it to me. I still remember the pure shock of that operation the first time I saw it. After going through it, I reloaded to try to see if I could get a different outcome!
I miss seeing the gang on screen... Also that dope chair! I'm sure they have their reasons for the format change. But I still enjoyed their vingettes and little skits.
I get the feeling that "Whiskey Hotel" was less a spoiler and more shown their work. You are supposed to be part of the military, so the phonetic alphabet will be ingrained in you as part of your training. With "Whiskey Hotel" spelling "W H", those who are familiar with the system may get a hint of where the team is going.
Bit of a different situation, but does anyone remember when the Revenge of the Sith game came out before the movie hit theatres? I get that the original movies already kinda spoil what's going to happen, but that game let you play through the entire story of the movie before it hit the big screen. Hard to imagine that sort of thing happening now a days, if movie games were still a thing
This is why if I'm even remotely interested in a game, I just don't watch any trailers besides maybe the announce trailer. It's worked out pretty well for me.
I may get thrown in a Scavenger chop-shop for this, but I actually prefer the 2019 trailer choice for male V's voice actor. The one in the actual game is inexplicably from New York instead of California, it seems.
It's weird that people were so thrown by Aerith dying, when Tellah died in ff4 and galuf in ff5, and somebody probably died in ff6 that I don't remember too. It wasn't exactly a new move to kill a party member about halfway in. That's probably why Square Enix thought nothing of it at the time either.
Watching a game trailer with spoilers is like watching an anime opening. It usually shows the character who betrays the protagonist, the love interest which won’t be introduced til halfway through, and the main conflict. All of which is shown before the main character is introduced
Idk, while her actually waking up is a bit of a spoiler, there's nothing in the Shadow of the Collosus trailer suggesting that the shadow monster is Wonder
The pun text in these videos keeps getting better and better :D CoD only knows and Materia girl are now some of my favourites, whoever comes up with these deserves a raise, and if it's all of you then awesome job!
The automatic chapter feature you're using is wild. Making chapters based off of the overlay at the bottom is great, only small thing is sometimes the name plates end up being the chapter but it must save tons of time.
Trailers are generally awful, they always seem to spoil. Be it movies or games, I stand in solidarity with you in not watching trailers, that moment was a gut punch for me too.
My fiance was super careful to avoid trailers for the game (it was the game of 2020 he was super excited for), and when that mission happened, he came into the room upset. It was a betrayal nearly on the level of Red Dead Redemption 2's big twist. (Not spoiling that one just in case someone still hasn't played it, but if you have, you'll know.)
I'm so glad I didn't see that Jackie trailer before playing! Still mad at how early in the game they killed him off tho? Like he was a great character but I was more annoyed that they introduced a really cool character and immediately killed him rather than the emotional devastated vibe I think they were going for?
This is why I screw around doing side-quests when it seems like a mission might be plot sensitive. I kept Jackie waiting at that noodle stand for about a year.
@@DewaKrishna_ well, there were many things that were said will be in game but weren't. For example, player agency, now it seems that there is no reason to use all dialog options, no need to invest in cool, since every dialog, every mission, and every alternate path ends the same way in most of the game(i still finished the game and it was great fun). From what i've seen you have only two choices, relationship (which are gender locked so it's mostly choice of 1 from 2) and ending(which 2 of 5 are pretty much the same)
@@jakubdrabent8158 One of the more interesting things I've seen is an analysis of the way Keanu Reeves affected the game. Apparently Johnny Silverhand wasn't in the game the way he is in the released version until Keanu signed on to play him. It's possible they re-wrote whether Jackie could be saved to make more room for Johnny.
@@marhawkman303 that's for sure how it was. I mean *spolier* Johnny starts of as a terrorist who wants to kill you just to turn around in what is exactly fifteen minutes to wanting to save you and be your friend. And don't get me wrong, I really like Johnny and Keanu, I just think that he kinda stole the show. It was supposed to be story of V, your V, and it became story of Johnny who was pretty set as a hero that was long gone
I'll say this much about the Cyberpunk trailer. I think that originally, Cyberpunk was going to have branching storylines where Jackie could either live or die depending on your decisions, only for that to be cut in the last years. Actually, it seems that most of Jackie's roll got cut because Keanu Reeves came on and of course HE became the main sidekick.
I was so pissed at that trailer spot for Jedi Fallen Order. I was casually watching football and had only made it through about halfway through the game at that point and I got excited to play again, next thing I know boom Darth Vader. I couldn't hardly finish it knowing he was coming. Whomever came up with that trailer needs a new job.
That sucks... I legitimately had no idea, so when that moment came, I was FINALLY a bad-ass jedi knight, having just defeated the ongoing antagonist... Then in 2 seconds, the game went from action adventure, to survival horror...
@@michaelnewton1754 man, completely killed all the momentum in the game for me. It was an outstanding moment, doing exactly what you said, turning it from a moment of absolute power to survival horror and it was snatched away from me and who knows how many other hundreds of people.
Not to spoil anything but the outtro showcases Jane's very quick decent into madness. The lockdown clearly taking its toll on her normally cast iron will, feel better soon Jane.
One of the trailers for AC Syndicate spoiled the fact Pearl Attaway was a Templar - a twist which otherwise would've been pretty neat and unseen... I think they learned from that because similar reveals haven't been mentioned in AC trailers since 😅
Alternate title: 7 Reasons Why I Try To Avoid Trailers For Games That I'm Interested In Playing It makes me think of the first time playing Last Of Us. I pretty much knew only two things about the game's story: 1. There are zombies 2. Main guy runs around with a girl (which I assumed to be main guy's daughter) The prologue bit hit *hard*, because I assumed the girl we see there was the girl we'd spend the game with. It was a very impactful moment for me and it would have been a severely softened if I had known it was coming.
I don’t know if this is considered a spoiler, but the adult content warning in the trailer for Doki Doki literature club. The whole game’s big gimmick was that it would seem like another generic dating sim, but when that warning comes in, it kind of spoiled that something far more graphic will happen.
Title: The most spoilers to spoiler a spoiler Spoiler alert list: several games I haven't played and want to Whelp, guess I'll see you all back here in 3 years lol
IIRC an original trailer for the first danganronpa literally showed a procedural of the first murder including who got murdered and also how to solve the crime lol (I believe they later remade the trailer with a different, fake murder)
Not quite the same, BUT: In Y's VIII - Lacrimosa of Dana, the intro on the game itself literally shows you nearly everything that's going to happen: The monsters you'll face, the characters you'll meet, places you'll visit...
@@NN010 I think at one point in development they planned for it to be like that, but changed it. The early stuff has them talk about how what you do affects how the story plays out. It feels like there were more options for ways to play missions planned at start.
In Cyberpunk 2077: the Jackie one stopped me from being able to bond with him at all, which sucks as he was lovely. I usually avoid trailers for this very reason.
That's exactly how I got Dear Evan Hansen's plot spoiled for me. And I didn't even realize, cause the spoiler was so casually dropped by some girl in my theatre group who really wanted to brag about how she'd just seen it on Broadway right after it came out.
I would nominate Brutal Legend (which I still love btw) the trailers of which spoiled the fact that your love interest, Ophelia, undergoes a goth transformation and becomes Leader of the Drowning Doom and an antagonist. Also before anyone brings up the RTS bits, EA were the ones trying to hide them while Double Fine talked about them and the multiplayer.
@@killerman19880385 And only appears in the beginning. It's bad when we knew he will die, it's even worse to know he will only be with us for less than an hour, just barely aftee the start...
This is why I never watched a trailer for it for years. It was a big surprise to me and I was actually sad when it happened. So many films and games ruin things I ignore trailers.
Terminator 2. There was a trailer that had "come with me if you want to live" in it. Everyone went into the cinema already knowing that the T-100 was a good guy this time. If not for that, people would have gone in thinking that there were TWO terminators going after Sarah Connor this time.
This is exactly why I don't watch trailers for games or movies/shows. They really do spoil a lot and even if they don't give away specific twists they want to show the most exciting parts which are almost always near the end of the game/movie/show so I know I'm still not near the end when I can remember specific scenes from the trailers.
The thing I find hilarious about Kojima's most recent trailers, including Death Stranding and MGSV, is that they tend to contain *huge* spoilers, usually from the very end of the game, but because they're so out-there no-one can even tell
@@jordanmclaren7833 Which is actually fine. I think there has been some other trailers where they do show something important, but with so little they give you and out of context of the story, you won't be spoiled unless you still remember it just before the reveal. I would prefer they just showed something else though
Kinda surprised they didn't mention Vergil in the trailer of DMC5, he was teased through the game in subtle bits up to grand reveal but if you saw the trailer you knew he'd be in the game for sure. But it was likely intentional since he's one of the more recognizable and loved characters
I got stuck on the Second Sister battle near what I thought was the end and watched this and realized that what I assumed was just a battle with her and then a happy cutscene and end of the game was actually a surprise ending with Vader and now I’m upset I didn’t just keep playing through and discover it for myself 😭
I honestly never watch trailers anymore for games I’m interested in because I know that marketing teams are so prone to spoiling things and I want to enjoy the game and not have it spoiled.
Have never seen the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer before. But now that I have, I feel even angrier with the game because Jackie's death in a trailer seemed a lot cooler than in the game itself. I'm not even talking about that it was glitched all over
I mean, the appearance of the White House wasn’t even in the top 5 big spoilers for MW2. We had the survival of Capt. Price, No Russian, Shepherd’s betrayal, Price launching the nuke. There were so many bigger spoilers that the appearance of the WH was a footnote.
@@michaelandreipalon359 I will be avoiding all media on it if it happens. I'm happy to go in blind, sometimes it's disappointing, but for games you really love totally worth it.
I've played most of these but never actually seen any advertising for them. Video games didn't get commercials often at all at least around this time when I was growing up, and internet was still dial-up without huge social networks like Twitter for people to spoil them for you. I'd never seen these trailers, the only advertisements I'd see would be from magazines like Tips & Tricks or Gameinformer, occasionally from demo discs included in magazines.
Have you considered adding outsidexbox to this list? They always show video of almost every game they’re going to talk about before showing which games are on their spoiler warning list.
Cool trailers, but can it run Crysis? The Crysis (2007) trailer/spoiler still annoys me whenever I think about it. As if the graphics, gameplay, and a hint of mystery wouldn't have been enough to sell the game at the time, they really didn't need to spell out the twist for us. 🙄
I love how Jane said "Why did WE even have an order 66"

I didn't even know The Hu before that, so all I heard was an amazing song in a language I didn't know.
I'm glad I never saw that Fallen Order teaser, because the Darth Vader reveal was a legit surprise for me and really served to heighten the tension and excitement of the last part of the game as you realize how unbelievably strong he is compared to your character and really hammers home that you would stand ono chance against him. In fact, it's all you can do to even run away. Just the right amount of character implementation in my view, and all this effect because I accidently avoided a spoiler teaser. See game devs? This is the impact you can make in the game itself if you can show some restraint in your commercials.
I think they’re probably as annoyed as you are. I don’t think devs have control over the marketing of the game, imagine how annoyed they feel when they’ve put so much effort into their cool surprise and some idiot on the marketing team goes “oh yeah that looks cool, let’s slap that into the trailer”
@@cass6082 Good point, these groups arn't one whole that makes all the choices.
The way you can see the screen reflected in Jane's eyes is terrifying. I feel like I'm staring into Prudence's eyes and all I see is a desire for power.
Prudence ?
Its her DnD character on a playlost on their channel
Her being Jane
I'm so glad I never watch trailers before completing any game I'm even slightly interested in. Spoilers are so blatant in some of them it's just ridiculous. Same goes for movies...
Titanfall 2 must have been a nightmare for you then.
Good thing cartoon shows aren't even that spoilery.
Only bad trailers spoiled their own story. Some trailers are pretty good and even leaves you with excitement to play/watch.
@@flvx4693 sadly its not worth the risk though is it.
@@mattdavies159 That's true, can't argue with that.
I thought Jackie's Death was just ONE of the outcomes that can happen in Cyberpunk 2077
I did too so when I saw the trailer in 2019 I was like ok so I’m gonna do everything I can to keep him alive, so when it happened I was pissed since they spoilt it but also since they killed such a promising character..
When I saw the final scene with Johnny Silverhand, I already knew Jackies death will be canon. Johnny will be your "companion" after Jackie.
Honestly, I thought it was a totally different character in the trailer, and not Jackie.
I never saw that trailer so I was pretty shocked that Jackie died (really well voice-acted scene by V. btw), but I kinda hoped it was the result of me fucking up the escape from the hotel.
The sad thing, it was. Originally it was a possible outcome and not the only outcome before CDPR decided to trash everything and redo it all as first person only....
"bought the chocobo farm" nearly spit my drink on my screen
The most spoilable story twist in gaming is definitely Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic
Because the amnesia cliche didn't make it super obvious
@@custos3249 The game came out in 2003, it was not really a cliche in gaming back then.
Spoiler
@@bravo1520 True. I mean, it'd never been done ever, not even in any other medium like TV, books, or movies, until KOTOR did it.......especially since it definitely wasn't a spin on the "you were the (insert whatever) THE WHOLE TIME" cliche.
@@custos3249 My dude you don't know what the world was like in 2003, did you? Cliche would be raw edge or raw badass. Not actual plot twists
Small.edit: Reminder that 2003 is just as Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire came out, for a reference on Time and hype.
Mike wanting to live in a world where all the fanfics are canon? Ohhhhhh lordy no, no, nope mike. Poor call lol
Lmao🤣
There's some Clarkson era Top Gear fanfic that'll make him change his mind.
LOL, exactly. Don't do it, Mike! Then "My Immortal" will be real! ...Then again, so would 30 Hs. It's a tough choice.
hey it's not that ba.........*remembers my fanfics* it is that bad.............especially if it's mine.
Not all "fanfics" are terrible... I mean, games like the Batman: Arkham series and Spider-Man PS4 and Miles Morales are basically "fanfics" made by Rocksteady and Insomniac respectively, you know.
Man, that Jackie thing. When I saw the trailer, I was like "Okay, so this is *one possible* outcome of the mission." Nah.
@16:30 You brits might not know this but every Drive thru burger place in the states is built in an area of strategic importance. Oorah, brother!
Even World in Conflict and Red Alert 2 kinda acknowledge this.
Either way, such buildings can actually be real life warzones if and when a war happens in American shores, and believe me, I would love to watch the enemy suffer because of them.
@@michaelandreipalon359 It's kinda true, "Location! Location1 Location!" as the saying goes.
The Jedi Fallen Order segment, i kept getting distracted by the way subtitles decided Cal was a cow.
Assassin’s Creed 2. I was like 14 the year it released and I was hyped to heck. Surprise surprise, pretty much ALL of the trailers showed Ezio’s family being killed, often with voiceover from devs saying; “Oh yes, SOMETHING big happens to Ezio, and then he goes on his quest!”.
Admittedly it was only in the first hour or two of gameplay, but you can’t expect me to be suprised when it happens, when literally EVERY TRAILER TOLD ME IT WOULD.
Yeah, dead family is like 90% of getting the protagonist out the door and onto the adventure "twists"
Is it really a twist if it's a cliche? I'd say that even if it didn't surprise you, it did it's job by making you feel for Ezio
@@daniellins4114 Honestly it seemed like there was a disconnect between what the devs thought the trailer would contain and what the trailers actually contained. All of the voiceover was trying to be coy and not give away what the huge event was.... while the trailer clearly showed exactly what the event was, so that's what made me think it 'spoiled' itself.
Although maybe logistically they didn't know how much they were going to reveal in trailers when the footage was recorded, which is why they were so vague.
@@JasmineFaith unfortunately that's a common problem in many pieces of media, the people who make traulers aren't necessarily the ones that wrote the story and they may show things the writers wouldn't want them to
Frozen Yogurt guy, you have made a powerful enemy...
"enough sense" is exactly the right amount of sense Jane.
I avoided trailers for Fallen Order, so having Vader show up was an intense and stressful twist which I appreciated immensely.
The crazy thing is that the Jedi fallen order trailer with Vader didn't come out until mere days after the game came out
They never should've released it is the point. People who don't play a game when it first comes out were spoiled from the trailer. It's bad marketing.
@@thechampuru agreed
RE6 comes up
Me: "I don't care about RE6, spoil away!"

If it makes you feel any better, I finished 7 ages ago and don't even remember that. It's probably not a huge spoiler.
@@user-wj6eq1cx7x That makes me feel a little better :D
I always find it amusing that you can watch someone die one minute, and then use a spray, drink a potion, stab a needle to top up your own health the next. Just give him one of your 74 health puffers.
That's because they don't really die in battle, they just get knocked out. They only really die if everyone gets knocked out, resulting in a game over
It's an abstraction of table top RPG mechanics where if a party member reaches 0 hp they only die if they fail 3 saving throws before someone can stabilize them
RIP Jackie. I'll never forget...that...montage
Cmon man that’s just being an asshole. Why you gotta spoil the game like that?
@@Genesis23OPB it’s the first comment. Literally the first thing you see.
@@Genesis23OPB sometimes people might want to watch to a certain point and then click off before a game they are going to play gets spoiled.
@IEa Jackson Normally I'd agree with you, but this is a video about trailers that spoil the game. So a) it was already spoiled by the trailer and b) of course people are gonna comment about the things talked about in the video. Maybe don't read the comments for that kind of video if you don't wanna be spoiled.
@@Genesis23OPB did you not get my point? I said people might want to scrip the ones they don’t want spoiled.
From Shadow of the Colossus we hear from Dormin... which backwards spells nimrod... which is what we all were for listening to Dormin. That's on us.
I'm so used to talking about the biblical Nimrod, a great and mighty hunter, that I forgot for a moment that it's also used to describe dimwits.
@@Artificer1911 Blame Bugs Bunny.
An odd bit of trivia for a GAME that spoiled the ending of a MOVIE before it came out, the Matrix Online came out before The Matrix Revolution and stated that it took place after the film, which concluded that the Matrix still existed at the end of the movie and Neo had "died".
Lets not forget Devil May Cry 5 when one of the trailers was like "By the way, Vergil's back at full power"
To be fair, the game itself was never even remotely secretive about that happening
It's amazing how the big twist remained unspoiled
Kingdom Hearts 3. the trailers for that game spoiled almost all the main plot points.
...though, to be fair, there wasn't really another way to hint at all the plotlines that were getting wrapped up.
Since Cyberpunk 2077 was advertised as an RPG with a lot of paths when I saw that trailer I just assumed if you screw up on the mission Jackie died but that you could save him if you took different choices, disappointed that wasn't what happened.
My dad had a trailer in our back garden. He used it once or twice but after a year or so it mostly sat rusting covered in tarp. I kept doing "science experiments" that mostly entailed me chucking chemicals from the kitchen and shed into a pile behind the trailer. It's still there now, I'm thirty now and that was twenty years ago.
So in this, you spoiled the trailer ;)
I knew Jackie was gonna die...it's just that I wasn't expecting that it's gonna hit me that hard
I know right, hits like someone with Body 20
no i didn’t know he was going to die and i didn’t want him to die like in the trailer is unbelievable, i wish i didn’t see it at all stupid cyberpunk trailer of him actually dying and i didn’t know it was in the opening of the game just upsets me even more seeing this again, and you cant save him no matrix what you say, or do before the fateful mission, during the mission or after that fateful mission wish you could skip that mission all together, but its currently improved maybe they will add ability to skip missions you dont wanna do anymore
Didn't think I would like Jackie as much as I did, that scene was pretty emotional
Dead Island managed to get around this spoiler problem by making a trailer that had almost nothing to do with the game it was trying to advertise
I still recall this channel's vid about demos and trailers that did a total bait-and-switch, including FF XV. Trailers really run the gamut, don't they?
"RE6 made the bold decision of instead of making 1 good game they made 3 bad ones" Savage lmao
I recently played Resi 6 and while being different from the other games I thought it was a good game.
See, I had a different experience as a 13yr old in Texas. I had no clue ff7 was coming. I heard literally nothing... I had played ff1, and ff2 (4) and ff3 (6, and my most favorite ever game). So there I was, walking around target with my mom, i had a little bit of money and I was looking in the video game section, just browsing (back when the games were locked behind glass as there were no empty game boxes to browse).. and then I saw it, final fantasy 7.. I remember saying outloud, "What happened to the other 3??? How do you go from 3 to 7???" and then I had to have it. I only had 40 bucks of saved up pocket money, and had to beg my mom for the other 20.. well worth the extra chores. I even managed to get hold of a game guide for it the next day at a book shop my mom dragged me to for even more extra chores... and you know, I never friggin beat it... I burned out trying breeding flying chocobos to try and get knights of the round materia, and i never ever beat it... fucking 5 hours of chocobo breeding is what killed the game for me. all other bosses done
Haha, in FFX-2 I once spent an afternoon farming an optional mini-boss because it had a chance to drop a useful bit of gear. But... I had to kill it a bare minimum of 33 times to get what I wanted. Since A: I wanted 3 of the item, and b: only the Oversoul form drops it, and you fight the Oversoul form only after you kill the normal form 10 times. As a sidenote I got quite a bit of class mastery done. I mean beating the ---- out of a mini-boss dozens of times gives you more than just loot drops :D
Not a trailer, but I was a couple years late completing Ocarina of Time, and was therefore entirely spoiled for the Sheik reveal by Smash Bros...
So glad I avoided all the trailers for C'77 now, 'cause that moment really did get me when it happened, though they signposted it so heavily in the run-up to that mission that I don't think anyone was in any doubt that it was going to happen, heh.
The only reason I had any doubt that the whole team would die was that you could conspire to screw over Dex. It really gave off a vibe that the heist would be a turning point, but that it could go two different ways depending on if you stay on Dex's side or not.
I was so excited about Quake 4 and bought it as soon as it was released. Thankfully I didn't watch any trailers - the name was enough to sell it to me. I still remember the pure shock of that operation the first time I saw it. After going through it, I reloaded to try to see if I could get a different outcome!
I miss seeing the gang on screen... Also that dope chair! I'm sure they have their reasons for the format change. But I still enjoyed their vingettes and little skits.
It’s because they’re all working from home.
I get the feeling that "Whiskey Hotel" was less a spoiler and more shown their work.
You are supposed to be part of the military, so the phonetic alphabet will be ingrained in you as part of your training.
With "Whiskey Hotel" spelling "W H", those who are familiar with the system may get a hint of where the team is going.
Bit of a different situation, but does anyone remember when the Revenge of the Sith game came out before the movie hit theatres? I get that the original movies already kinda spoil what's going to happen, but that game let you play through the entire story of the movie before it hit the big screen. Hard to imagine that sort of thing happening now a days, if movie games were still a thing
Hell, the original LEGO Star Wars game had Episode III as a chapter, and that was before the first trailers dropped!
This is why if I'm even remotely interested in a game, I just don't watch any trailers besides maybe the announce trailer. It's worked out pretty well for me.
Exactly. And if it's a game, or movie, that I'm 99% going to get, why watch it?
Wasn't the biggest spoiler about Aeris was her name actually being Aerith?
I may get thrown in a Scavenger chop-shop for this, but I actually prefer the 2019 trailer choice for male V's voice actor. The one in the actual game is inexplicably from New York instead of California, it seems.
It's weird that people were so thrown by Aerith dying, when Tellah died in ff4 and galuf in ff5, and somebody probably died in ff6 that I don't remember too. It wasn't exactly a new move to kill a party member about halfway in. That's probably why Square Enix thought nothing of it at the time either.
Watching a game trailer with spoilers is like watching an anime opening. It usually shows the character who betrays the protagonist, the love interest which won’t be introduced til halfway through, and the main conflict. All of which is shown before the main character is introduced
"made it seem that Jackie would be your faithful sidekick throughout the game"
Or the character who would unexpectedly betray you at the end of Act 2?
or cyberpunk would be a rpg where your actions have real consequences, one of them being the death of a major character. lol what fools we were.
@@MrGhostTheBigRoast i know full well that my actions caused the death of a main character
Idk, while her actually waking up is a bit of a spoiler, there's nothing in the Shadow of the Collosus trailer suggesting that the shadow monster is Wonder
The pun text in these videos keeps getting better and better :D CoD only knows and Materia girl are now some of my favourites, whoever comes up with these deserves a raise, and if it's all of you then awesome job!
The automatic chapter feature you're using is wild. Making chapters based off of the overlay at the bottom is great, only small thing is sometimes the name plates end up being the chapter but it must save tons of time.
I didn't watch the Cyberpunk trailers, so that moment was a gut punch.
Man I watched the trailers and it was still a gut punch. Jackie's such a good character, albeit short-lived.
I did see the trailer and I was still in tears when it comes around
When I got to the point where it was lining up with the trailer, I was feeling the dread of "oh no"
Trailers are generally awful, they always seem to spoil. Be it movies or games, I stand in solidarity with you in not watching trailers, that moment was a gut punch for me too.
My fiance was super careful to avoid trailers for the game (it was the game of 2020 he was super excited for), and when that mission happened, he came into the room upset. It was a betrayal nearly on the level of Red Dead Redemption 2's big twist. (Not spoiling that one just in case someone still hasn't played it, but if you have, you'll know.)
I'm so glad I didn't see that Jackie trailer before playing! Still mad at how early in the game they killed him off tho? Like he was a great character but I was more annoyed that they introduced a really cool character and immediately killed him rather than the emotional devastated vibe I think they were going for?
This is why I screw around doing side-quests when it seems like a mission might be plot sensitive. I kept Jackie waiting at that noodle stand for about a year.
I recall CDPR saying that you *could* actually save him via an alternate end to the mission
@@DewaKrishna_ well, there were many things that were said will be in game but weren't. For example, player agency, now it seems that there is no reason to use all dialog options, no need to invest in cool, since every dialog, every mission, and every alternate path ends the same way in most of the game(i still finished the game and it was great fun). From what i've seen you have only two choices, relationship (which are gender locked so it's mostly choice of 1 from 2) and ending(which 2 of 5 are pretty much the same)
@@jakubdrabent8158 One of the more interesting things I've seen is an analysis of the way Keanu Reeves affected the game. Apparently Johnny Silverhand wasn't in the game the way he is in the released version until Keanu signed on to play him. It's possible they re-wrote whether Jackie could be saved to make more room for Johnny.
@@marhawkman303 that's for sure how it was. I mean *spolier* Johnny starts of as a terrorist who wants to kill you just to turn around in what is exactly fifteen minutes to wanting to save you and be your friend. And don't get me wrong, I really like Johnny and Keanu, I just think that he kinda stole the show. It was supposed to be story of V, your V, and it became story of Johnny who was pretty set as a hero that was long gone
Petition to get Mike a Whiskey Hotel, complete with all the cocktails OX have had to try over the years.
Whiskey Hotel would be a clever name for an American-themed pub in England or the like.
I'll say this much about the Cyberpunk trailer. I think that originally, Cyberpunk was going to have branching storylines where Jackie could either live or die depending on your decisions, only for that to be cut in the last years. Actually, it seems that most of Jackie's roll got cut because Keanu Reeves came on and of course HE became the main sidekick.
yeah people codediving have found all sorts of half-finished stuff. real hard to say what got cut.
sorry but Would You Kindly is the game twist. I had a full existential meltdown because of that twist
Good thing I hit that SOB with that wrench by the end of the game, as paybacl for... I can't say it!
I was so pissed at that trailer spot for Jedi Fallen Order. I was casually watching football and had only made it through about halfway through the game at that point and I got excited to play again, next thing I know boom Darth Vader. I couldn't hardly finish it knowing he was coming. Whomever came up with that trailer needs a new job.
That sucks... I legitimately had no idea, so when that moment came, I was FINALLY a bad-ass jedi knight, having just defeated the ongoing antagonist... Then in 2 seconds, the game went from action adventure, to survival horror...
@@michaelnewton1754 man, completely killed all the momentum in the game for me. It was an outstanding moment, doing exactly what you said, turning it from a moment of absolute power to survival horror and it was snatched away from me and who knows how many other hundreds of people.
Jane, your Sith is showing. "Why did WE even have an Order 66?" 😂
Not to spoil anything but the outtro showcases Jane's very quick decent into madness. The lockdown clearly taking its toll on her normally cast iron will, feel better soon Jane.
Is it bad that I thought it was perfectly normal behavior until you pointed it out and I went and rewatched it? :D
Haze spoiled it's twist you would defect to the rebels, and that nectar is evil in every trailer
One of the trailers for AC Syndicate spoiled the fact Pearl Attaway was a Templar - a twist which otherwise would've been pretty neat and unseen...
I think they learned from that because similar reveals haven't been mentioned in AC trailers since 😅
"Game trailers that spoiled the game"
You mean all of them?
Ace Combat never spoiled. 5 didn't even spoil Chopper's death.
Whisky Hotels need to be far more common in games. And in real life too.
I'm pretty sure it's where my cousin is vacationing now. It has whiskey on tap in the kitchen.

Alternate title: 7 Reasons Why I Try To Avoid Trailers For Games That I'm Interested In Playing
It makes me think of the first time playing Last Of Us. I pretty much knew only two things about the game's story:
1. There are zombies
2. Main guy runs around with a girl (which I assumed to be main guy's daughter)
The prologue bit hit *hard*, because I assumed the girl we see there was the girl we'd spend the game with. It was a very impactful moment for me and it would have been a severely softened if I had known it was coming.
And that whole scene brings a ton of pathos and meaning to the later journey.
I don’t know if this is considered a spoiler, but the adult content warning in the trailer for Doki Doki literature club. The whole game’s big gimmick was that it would seem like another generic dating sim, but when that warning comes in, it kind of spoiled that something far more graphic will happen.
Still.... it's probably for the best, considering...
That's probably better than the alternative of having no warning.

Whelp, guess I'll see you all back here in 3 years lol
IIRC an original trailer for the first danganronpa literally showed a procedural of the first murder including who got murdered and also how to solve the crime lol
(I believe they later remade the trailer with a different, fake murder)
Another danganronpa fan
Not quite the same, BUT: In Y's VIII - Lacrimosa of Dana, the intro on the game itself literally shows you nearly everything that's going to happen: The monsters you'll face, the characters you'll meet, places you'll visit...
Somehow I actually saw that Cyberpunk trailer when it came out and still forgot that Jackie was going to die, so it stayed a surprise for me
I can very much relate. I'm usually much too dense to read anything out of a trailer 😆
I thought it was going to be a determinant thing, like if you made certain choices, Jackie would die, but nope, not the case.
@@NN010 I think at one point in development they planned for it to be like that, but changed it. The early stuff has them talk about how what you do affects how the story plays out. It feels like there were more options for ways to play missions planned at start.
In Cyberpunk 2077: the Jackie one stopped me from being able to bond with him at all, which sucks as he was lovely. I usually avoid trailers for this very reason.
It's like those kids in the cafeteria who always watch the movie on the first day and discuss it in a REALLY LOUD VOICE!
That's exactly how I got Dear Evan Hansen's plot spoiled for me. And I didn't even realize, cause the spoiler was so casually dropped by some girl in my theatre group who really wanted to brag about how she'd just seen it on Broadway right after it came out.
List suggestion: Biggest pet peeves in your favourite franchises.
Maybe a stream so you guys can talk about it like in pre-covid discussion videos.
I would nominate Brutal Legend (which I still love btw) the trailers of which spoiled the fact that your love interest, Ophelia, undergoes a goth transformation and becomes Leader of the Drowning Doom and an antagonist.
Also before anyone brings up the RTS bits, EA were the ones trying to hide them while Double Fine talked about them and the multiplayer.
Knowing that Jackie was going to die while playing made the character building basically meaningless for him
The fact that we barely got to spend time and learn more about him made it even worse tbh, since we knew he was going to die in a heist.
@@killerman19880385 And only appears in the beginning. It's bad when we knew he will die, it's even worse to know he will only be with us for less than an hour, just barely aftee the start...
This is why I never watched a trailer for it for years. It was a big surprise to me and I was actually sad when it happened. So many films and games ruin things I ignore trailers.
Well they also lied after the trailer and in a press release said there was a way to save him.
@@platodosum420 Source? All I’ve seen is that they didn’t want to talk about it.
Terminator 2.
There was a trailer that had "come with me if you want to live" in it.
Everyone went into the cinema already knowing that the T-100 was a good guy this time. If not for that, people would have gone in thinking that there were TWO terminators going after Sarah Connor this time.
This is exactly why I don't watch trailers for games or movies/shows. They really do spoil a lot and even if they don't give away specific twists they want to show the most exciting parts which are almost always near the end of the game/movie/show so I know I'm still not near the end when I can remember specific scenes from the trailers.
The trailers *and attract screens* for the Silent Hill games were basically every single cinematic in the game played pretty much back to back
Death stranding trailers: what even is this game???
The thing I find hilarious about Kojima's most recent trailers, including Death Stranding and MGSV, is that they tend to contain *huge* spoilers, usually from the very end of the game, but because they're so out-there no-one can even tell
@@jordanmclaren7833 Which is actually fine. I think there has been some other trailers where they do show something important, but with so little they give you and out of context of the story, you won't be spoiled unless you still remember it just before the reveal.
I would prefer they just showed something else though
The game has been out months, I've watched Let's Plays of it. I STILL don't know what the hell Death Stranding is.
Wait... Did I miss the cocktail video making Johnny Silverhands?
Kinda surprised they didn't mention Vergil in the trailer of DMC5, he was teased through the game in subtle bits up to grand reveal but if you saw the trailer you knew he'd be in the game for sure. But it was likely intentional since he's one of the more recognizable and loved characters
I got stuck on the Second Sister battle near what I thought was the end and watched this and realized that what I assumed was just a battle with her and then a happy cutscene and end of the game was actually a surprise ending with Vader and now I’m upset I didn’t just keep playing through and discover it for myself 😭
Fun fact: Today is the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.
That is fun!
Come back when it's also the 21st month and then we'll talk.
... blackjack!
Mind... blown!
sorry to ruin this, but it's only the 20th year, the century started in 2001
Don't want to be a smartass, but this video contains a spoiler for "The Empire strikes back".
Also in one of the early Ghost of Tsushima trailers the late game fight with Masako was spoiled, and that was a massive moment in her story to reveal.
I honestly never watch trailers anymore for games I’m interested in because I know that marketing teams are so prone to spoiling things and I want to enjoy the game and not have it spoiled.
Wow those studio lights are bright. Most have almost blinded Jane.
Or is this a recording of a psychic projection?
in the dark souls 3 trailers they show every single boss including one of the endings
Ironically it does say "All will be revealed" and the plot/lore is as cryptic as ever. So there's that.
Have never seen the Cyberpunk 2077 trailer before. But now that I have, I feel even angrier with the game because Jackie's death in a trailer seemed a lot cooler than in the game itself. I'm not even talking about that it was glitched all over
I mean, the appearance of the White House wasn’t even in the top 5 big spoilers for MW2. We had the survival of Capt. Price, No Russian, Shepherd’s betrayal, Price launching the nuke. There were so many bigger spoilers that the appearance of the WH was a footnote.
Thank you for reminding me why I don't watch trailers! I never saw the Fallen Order one so that moment was pant wettingly terrifying. 😂💚
Hope the sequel doesn't have trailers like this.
@@michaelandreipalon359 I will be avoiding all media on it if it happens. I'm happy to go in blind, sometimes it's disappointing, but for games you really love totally worth it.
I feel that outro, where you say a bunch of things questioning the reality of them, hoping you're making sense to those listening.
I've played most of these but never actually seen any advertising for them. Video games didn't get commercials often at all at least around this time when I was growing up, and internet was still dial-up without huge social networks like Twitter for people to spoil them for you. I'd never seen these trailers, the only advertisements I'd see would be from magazines like Tips & Tricks or Gameinformer, occasionally from demo discs included in magazines.
Have you considered adding outsidexbox to this list? They always show video of almost every game they’re going to talk about before showing which games are on their spoiler warning list.
Cool trailers, but can it run Crysis?
The Crysis (2007) trailer/spoiler still annoys me whenever I think about it. As if the graphics, gameplay, and a hint of mystery wouldn't have been enough to sell the game at the time, they really didn't need to spell out the twist for us. 🙄
