I Fixed The Metroid Prime 4 Trailer

As an outsider to the Metroid Series, I did not see the hype of the game trailer. Although it looked neat. It did not impress me. I remade this trailer from the recent Nintendo Direct to make it better. In my opinion!

This is a tik tok brain moment where people arent patient enough for build up and want all the answers immediately.

I also didnt think the ND trailer did justice to the game but watching yours makes me also think of some points I would re-consider.
The fact that you show Samus on the first shot and the second shot with the antagonist and metroids takes away the whole few build up seconds where you are held by questions of "what is this? New IP? Metroid? Xenoblade? Y? Z?"
I would leave the title at the end of the sequence, maybe with some epic music added to it.
I would probably like to see some 3-4 shots of the world that would not give it away that this is a metroid game, with some misterious music or just the environment sounds, birds, etc, to keep the suspense, then probably a black screen, the metroid famous chime kicking in and then the ship arriving sequence.
Im also not a fan of the original video sequences, which kick you straight into a battle with an intense music that looks out of place, and those 7 seconds that the character is just static analysing an enemy seem to be too long for the short nature of the trailer, we all know you can analyse enemies and stuff around at this point.

I think that introducing the new antagonist in the first seconds is just as abrupt as showing the action gameplay firsthand, in my opinion it looks better that after the galactic federation text, you see Samus arriving in her ship, 'couse showing the villain first it's the same mistake you just mentioned in the another video

I think the main problem is communicating what this game is. For me and a lot of other people that are interested in Metroid but not familiar with it, it was confusing whether or not this was a remake or not until the end of the trailer. The trailer didn't really have a theme, it was more like a montage of random stuff. But I do agree with you as well.

It's even worse

I know this isn't meant to be taken seriously, but I don' really see any differences.

For why I thought this trailer was mid, check out this video: ua-cam.com/video/Kt51Bh4AKww/v-deo.html&ab_channel=JakeSteinberg @timestamp 2:16:43.
He goes into detail pretty well on what this trailer was lacking.
