Great list.
I think one minor offender might be BioShock Infinite. I expected the game to scold me for abusing of Elizabeth's powers and even an epic confrontation against the Songbird, heck, I even wanted to see that towerbell scene in it's full glory.
Alas, just a minor complaint, but I can't deny I was slightly dissapointed I didn't see any of that in the finished game.
I miss Charles, the crow guy. They still put him on the t-shirt though.
Yeah, that Aliens trailer actually made me go buy Moon.
I forgot how great the movie was and happened to pick up a copy when Blockbuster was going out of business.
Somewhere a marketing guy was like "Well, he bought
something."
One of these trailers I think of is the E3 reveal for Gears Of War: Judgment. Counting Bodies Like Sheep To The Rhythm Of The War drums has been used in a few trailers and might skim generic when it comes to Gears but that trailer made it look like such a dirty, hardcore game, which is what Gears is supposed to be.
Then it wasn't good. *cries*
