Making a game trailer is tricky. Put in too much and there’s nothing left to surprise the player. Put in too little and it’s two minutes of blank screen. And sometimes a big old spoiler will make it into the trailer and give away some important plot point before anyone gets to play the game. Just check out these seven trailers that told us a little too much, and subscribe for a new video like this every Thursday!

I'm glad I didn't know the Vader one. It was a cool moment when I finally got to the game just a month ago.
I was like ohhhh shiiiiiit no wayyyyy
It's a good thing I don't often watch trailers. Most of the reveals here, I never saw coming.
Maybe you just failed at explaining it, but i fail to see how the Shadow of the Colossus one was supposed to be spoiling anything. Most things you explain as "spoilers" about it would require you to have seen it in context to know what's happening there.
I saw no one talk about that cyberpunk trailer at all! when it happened in the game I was shocked cause I had no clue it would happen
Did anybody hear the weird Adio 4:18
Mafia 3!!!!!!!!!!!
Top 10 videos that spoiled games because it listed trailers that spoiled the game.
And this is why I never watch trailers.
''The best way to create a compelling game trailer is simplify don't show the game at all ''

Whiskey Hotel is part of the Nato phonetic alphabet. anyone with any military experience should be familiar with it as just saying the individual letters often gets misinterpreted. Whiskey Hotel is W.H. meaning White House in this instance so not really the game keeping it secret.
Just gotta warn you, Jane, those toppings contain potassium benzoate.
Just don’t watch trailers
Do you really greenscreen a white screen?
Kingdom Hearts 3. Pretty much all the trailers had spoilers of some sort in them. And there were a lot of trailers.
Gotta love a trailer that goes "Spoilers? I barely even know 'er!" and just whacks a plot point up on the screen! Though according to QI, apparently we're HAPPIER when we know how something is going to end, so — perhaps these trailers were doing the right thing?
Nar clicking no bell or subbing ?
I'd say Prey is a big offender. You could have easily made trailers without spoiling the opening simulation setpiece, and the game's opening would have been much better for it.
You guys should make a video called Video Game Protagonists With No Chill. Zero from Drakengard 3, which I've been playing lately, and Dimitri from FE Three Houses, which my wife has been playing recently, would fit nicely on that list!
"I LOST ALL MY MEN BECAUSE OF HER"
"WE DON'T HAVE TO BE TALKING LIKE THIS."
oof RE6 was probably the most disappointing thing to happen in gaming for me in the last ten years. Luckily 7 showed up. That and Jake could have been an interesting character but the game around him was so bad I wouldn't be surprised if he never shows up again.
i did see Vader in that trailer but tbh by the time i got the game and got to the end I forgot all about Vader so it still had that shock surprise
Idk, while her actually waking up is a bit of a spoiler, there's nothing in the Shadow of the Collosus trailer suggesting that the shadow monster is Wonder
Video: shows MW2
Me, having flashbacks: "RAMIREZ, DEFEND THE BURGER TOWN!"
With cyberpunk the trailer showing Jackie's death built a sense of tension
You see the trailer
See he dies
Then meet him in game
And now have a sense of dread
You play the constantly asking yourself
When
When will he bite the big one
Wish I could like this video a billion times. The cyberpunk one was when I first sat back and was like…oh hell this might be such a good game after all. Little did I know lol
What about the bowser capture spoiler from Mario oddessey that one was really annoying 🙁
Does the Miles Morales teaser trailer counts? I mean it's nothing earthshattering but it does spoil how a certain, late portion of the game, plays out.
Whiskey Hotel.
White House.
I saw it coming with a wild guess and the initials of both words.
Does anyone else remember that the U.K. trailer for Kingdom Hearts: COM contained the very last cutscene in the entire game? You had to beat the game twice to get it, but it was just there in the trailer.
And this is one of the reasons I never watch trailers to games I'm interested in!
Resident Evil 6 was amazing
Who knew Ian Gallagher from the us version of shameless was so gifted with the force?
For whatever reason, none of my friends seemd to have seen this Cyberpunk trailer. So when the game came out and this scene rolled around, i was the only one not shocked or surprised by it in any way…
