Never Trust a Trailer/Video Games: Difference between revisions

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qiFsT41AHg This trailer] for [[Legend of Dragoon]] is mostly accurate, except for the fight bit at the end. The game is mostly serious, without any zany humor of that sort - certainly no [[Losing Your Head]] jokes.

* A variation in the [[Ace Attorney]] games - if the opening cinematic of a case shows a relevant conflict to you, it will usually be composed of various case-relevant events and screenshots chopped together in a way to mislead the player. Notable examples include cases 4-1 ( {{spoiler|where we're led to believe that Phoenix was the one who freaked out and swung the juice bottle}}), and 5-5 ( {{spoiler|which makes it look like ''Kay Faraday'' is responsible for setting an ''embassy on fire''}}).

** ''LEGO Indiana Jones 2'''s trailer said the game featured the four Indy movies and a [[Level Editor]], and that was true, but the trailer also stated the game was for PC, Xbox 360, Playstation 3, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS, and it didn't make clear that the Nintendo DS version didn't feature the classic adventures (''Raiders'', ''Doom'' and ''Crusade'') nor the level editor.

* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=es-L9Z4qA4U trailer] for [http://www.howardglitch.com/ Howard Glitch], which goes out of its way to introduce all of the passengers on the ship as well as the pilot, could easily be mistaken as a trailer for the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHwmjM36WIA YouTube game] and not the project as a whole. The game itself is actually about escaping reality in the midst of a hopeless situation, and the only character you get you interact with in any path is the pilot. {{spoiler|[[Mind Screw|Only not really.]]}} However, the characters do hint at the various endings of the game.
