Dead Island without a doubt. I'm still salty about how amazing the trailer was compared to how bland and forgettable the finished product was.

That game looked so bad ass it felt like it was gonna shake the video gaming world to the core.

It was one of those trailers where you wondered "Will I ever be bored again after this? How is that possible?"

Every Final Fantasy XV trailer before the year 2016. Especially the 2008, 2011, 2013, and 2014 trailers. Such a shame toothose are some of my favorite trailers ever and they got me very hyped for the game. But it didnt deliver and cut most of the things that made those trailers so interesting out of the game.

The Dead Island trailer for me, with the backwards cinematic of a girl dying/becoming zombified and falling out a window.

That wasn't a game trailer, though.

I didn't take Topic Title to be parsed that way. In any case, it was misleading for a lot of Zelda fans, but what we got was better than what could have been if they had gone the other way instead.

Yes. I say Red Steel was worse since the trailer presented graphics on par with PS3 and the Wii was a die shrunk Gamecube.

MGS2 because ya know why
Fallout goddamn 76 original reveals made it seem like it was going to be basically Fallout 3/4 but as an MMO, and yet none of that was true.

+1 this. Even back in the Wii era Ubisoft was still spitting nothing but bullshit or lies.

In terms of what was advertised vs what you get, nothing is going to beat an Atari 2600 commercial.

This. The dead island one was like 90% just a cinematic thing so it wasn't actually related to gameplay whatsoever.

Or, that recent AC Valhalla one that was called a gameplay trailer but only had cinematic things in it.

Wtf lol... That was obviously not gameplay. If it was, gamers would bitch about too much mud on the windshield.

It was hilarious how many people fell for that. It didnt tell us anything about the game and everyone got so hyped for it.

most cinematic trailers are misleading. And unfortunately it seems most announcement trailers are cinematics.

And basically all civilization building sims have trailers focused on 1 stoic warrior tearing through a battlefield, when the gameplay is actually just clicking on places you want to build grain silos.
