Earlier this morning, I was ranting a little about the lack of 720p game trailers on the updated Xbox site.
Like all good video game trailers, it spends most of its time showing off what games are all about: gameplay.
There were game trailers and demos aplenty at the Sony PlayStation 4 event last night, a fabulous feast for the eyes.
Cinematic CG-infused video game trailers and opening sequences have become commonplace.

Check out the Humble Indie Bundle website here where you can get more information on the games, watch game trailers, and find out more about the charities.
The site, which is best known for distributing video game trailers and about a dozen original web series via YouTube, gets more than 1.6 billion video views a month and has more than 168 million monthly users.
Xbox Live, Microsoft's online service, has grown in the last four years to incorporate game demos, trailers and movie trailers alongside offering an online gaming experience with downloadable content and extras.
Movies also feel the effects: an average of 36 percent more revenue, in fact, if their trailers show during the game.

Meanwhile, previous live-action trailers have soured me a bit on the game.

The game's developer, 3D Realms, released only screenshots, trailers and empty promises.
Live-action trailers fail at pretty much every criteria for a good video game spot.
Not much is known about the game itself, but critics were wowed by its look and feel from trailers shown at E3.
Unfortunately, once the cinematic trailers gave way to actual gameplay footage, the buzz around the game began to turn, as it seemed like yet another lackluster clone of Call of Duty, with a Red Dawn-ish plot to match.
