The Freespace 2 Trailer was what got me hooked onto to finding the game. I watched it at least 10 times after I installed the Descent 3 demo. The FS Alpha trailer was also great and the actual trailer for the original FS was pretty decent too. Take your pick.

The FS1 could have with more action rather than points, and I've never heard of Alpha, so FS2 gets my vote.  The view of the Collosus must have made heads turn.
I reject your reality and substitute my own, hence my existance on the Galatea!

 
Re: Best Freespace Trailer
      I voted FS2, though honestly a big part of me prefers the FS1 trailer simply because it has better music . . . but the whole . . .climax of it, showing that the player is small compared to everything else isn't that great a climax.
 
      The FS2 trailer thus is top dog, though I'm not a huge fan of the music. Nor of the pacing. (I like the musical buildup in FS1, would be cool to have that with the FS2 trailer but have some beam ganking as the climax (colossus?)). But yeah . . . cool stuff.

FS2. The creepy scene with all the dead things and the talking...builds good atmosphere.

I agree, the points really ruined the mood with the trailer. It was better when it was displayed during the action and not just listed out on the last half of the trailer.

Re: Best Freespace Trailer
Uhuh. that made it boring in the second half.
I support the "show feature as you list it" way of doing things.

Re: Best Freespace Trailer
FreeSpace Alpha is a pre-release FreeSpace1 given to public testers. In other words, a demo which no-one else has. Check the FS wiki for it.

FreeSpace Alpha one looks good. FreeSpace1 trailer's Orion jumping scene was pretty good and that's about it. Though FreeSpace2 one get's the vote, because it looks "powerfull".

Yeah too bad they removed that. I don't have any idea why. It would have been pure win.


Additionally, in FS1, the loadout animations were all animated. In FS2, they are static. I wonder why.

Re: Best Freespace Trailer
I voted correctly.

The FreeSpace 2 Trailer was the first trailer I saw when I was crawling through my Descent 3 CD 2. I watched it well over 30 times, and everytime I watched it, I kept thinking, "They can't do this."

That was when I was eleven, I think. I now have the FS2 Trailer in my MP4, along with Rake's Flail SCP, ready for me to watch whenever and wherever I want to.

...trailer music has always drawn me like a magnet. ;)
