The Escapist's Trailer Quiz

Usually long before we ever get our hands on even a demo, trailers give us our first glimpses at some of the hottest upcoming titles. A good trailer will tease you, giving you just enough footage to get you interested but leaves you craving more.

This week's quiz tests not only your ability to identify some of the recent and best trailers, but also if you can recall details associated with them.

Fair warning: You can take this quiz as often as you like, but your time will be cumulative for your rankings on the leaderboard.

I'm surprised you didn't put "We Dare" in the quiz.

 

[AmrasCalmacil]

Hah, may I just say I love your Avatar and the reference to BG2 in the quiz!

I found that surprisingly easy, I'm ranked second right now even though I wasted valuable time waiting for each clip to load, seeing as steam is eating all my bandwidth downloading Total War.

I suppose I just get interested in the right trailers.

Edit: Although I'm down to fourty-two or something now.

 

[Irridium]

Who's number 2? I'm number 2!

Probably not for long, but screw it, I'm happy.

Also, Slynce, your time was 5163:15. Or something like that. How?

 

[CpnChaos]

Is there a way we can watch the movie without retaking the quiz?

 

[icyneesan]

Yay number 5 :3

 

[Catchy Slogan]

9 out of 10. I'm not good with dates.

14th out of 40, I think that's the highest I've ever gotten.

 

[GeneticallyModifiedDucks]

Number 4 currently. I'm satisfied. How coy of you Escapist. You almost had me there for a second.

Spoiler

I couldn't remember that Digital Illusions CE was DICE, even though I already knew the clip was from Bad Company 2. Eeesh.

 

[se7ensenses]

Damn you 7!

 

[Who Dares Wins]

I MISSED ONE ON MY FIRST TRY THAT TOOK 1:15. And then I took it once more and got 80%.

Something broke when I first created it, so my entry got stuck apparently for a while, heh.

Sure, I'll embed it here.

[laryri]

Sure, I'll embed it here.

But then can't people come here first and get all the answers before starting the quiz? Also, the top guy has 25 seconds, but I had a 30 second ad on the video when I did the quiz, what gives?

 

[WanderingFool]

Sure, I'll embed it here.

Would they really need too? Anyways, im currently 17th, and I could have been 35 seconds faster if not for that fucking Rift commercial...

 

[Lacsapix]

how can you finish this quiz in 22 seconds when the trailers itself are longer...

I'm not too worried about that. The video has no context without the questions and half of them are not simply identify this game.

As for insanely fast times, not pointing fingers but either some people are really really fast or they are mining answers on a second account.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

I just hit 11th on the leaderboard despite taking 2 attempts to get 100%. I guess not having to rewatch the video speeds things up a bit.

Yay me!

Oh, apparently the lack of adverts helps, giving Pub Club members a distinct advantage.

Also, it can be done quicker than the video, assuming a decent internet connection and the ability to get the right answer on a single second of exposure to any trailer. (i.e. clicking ahead to speed the trailer along)

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I scored 90%, with 9 of 10 correct on The Escapist's The Escapist's Trailer Quiz. Take this quiz [/quizzes/view/138-The-Escapists-Trailer-Quiz]
90%? Really? I'm surprised I did so well because I had difficulty remembering which clip was which so I ended up guessing for the most part.

 

[IamQ]

#63 with 90%. Not bad.
