Trailer Central - The Best of E3 17

Here are our favourite trailers from a hectic week in LA.

Let's start with the best of the best. Nothing in the way of gameplay, but a fitting way of wrapping up Ubisoft's conference. The cinematic trailer for Beyond Good & Evil 2 knocked our socks off.

We all knew that The Evil Within 2 was on the way, but we didn't know it was going to be so disturbing. There's some seriously twisted stuff in this E3 trailer.

Let's be honest, this teaser for Metroid Prime 4 isn't a great trailer, but it still had fans punching the air in delight. The very definition of short and sweet.

4K racing on Xbox One X. Dynamic weather and greater detail means Forza Motorsport 7 looks absolutely incredible.

Not many people saw this coming, but Sony dropped a surprise announcement during their conference in the form of an upcoming remake of Shadow of the Colossus.

Arena shooters are back, and one of the most impressive is Quake Champions. Included in the roster is Wolfenstein's BJ Blazkowicz. See him in action below.

We all love the reveal of a new IP, and one of the most intriguing of those unveiled during E3 was the cinematic co-op adventure, A Way Out.

Preceded by a teaser, this gameplay trailer for Anthem was shown during Microsoft's press conference. Bioware's new IP has a new sci-fi setting and a focus on online co-op.

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider is a standalone expansion set in Arkane's whalepunk world. Set before the events of both games, a couple of familiar faces are making a violent and triumphant return.

Few games can compete with Total War: Warhammer II when it comes to conflict on a grand scale. In this gameplay trailer we get a proper good look at the Lizardmen coming in this fantasy sequel.

More gameplay, this time from a first-person perspective. Far Cry 5 is leaving behind the distant shores of fictitious foreign lands and in this fifth core entry is heading to Montana.

Thanks to a return to its historical roots, there is more interest in Call of Duty: WWII than any of its recent predecessors. In this latest trailer, we're introduced to the multiplayer portion of the game.

After enjoying critical and commercial success earlier this year, there are plenty of people interested in seeing more of the DLC for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. See it in action below.

Days Gone brings hive-mind undead hordes to the table in a genre not always known for innovation. Beyond that, though, it looks like a game with memorable characters and an immersive setting.

Ball kicking has never looked so good as it does this year, and Pro Evolution Soccer 2018 is a great example of this. News that Usain Bolt will be in this year's game certainly raised one or two eyebrows.

It wouldn't be fair to do one and not FIFA 18, and with EA Sports pushing Alex Hunter's story-driven adventures even further this year, football fans have plenty to look forward to in September.

Strategy fans don't usually get a huge number of announcements during E3, it's not really the time nor the place, but one exception this year is the reveal of Xcom 2 expansion War of the Chosen.

Closing out Sony's presser this year was Insomniac's Spider-Man, which looks like it's going to a fun-filled systems-driven action adventure starring everyone's favourite web slinger.

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord is always a popular pick among GR readers, and this year we got to see the game in action from the perspective of two different playable classes.

After a year in the oven, Assassin's Creed Origins is very nearly ready for our communal consumption. Set in Egypt and adding new RPG mechanics to the mix, this year's entry is shaping up nicely.

A hidden treasure waiting to be discovered? Sea of Thieves may well be just that, although we've got a wait in front of us before we find out for sure if Rare's piratical adventure is up to scratch.

While we're talking about both pirates and Assassin's Creed, Ubisoft revealed Skull & Bones during their show, with naval combat that looks heavily inspired by Black Flag.

There aren't many games that can get people excited en masse in the same way as a new Mario game, and Super Mario Odyssey is a case in point. Quirky and unique, the red plumber rarely disappoints.

Perhaps the most refreshing surprise of this year's E3 was Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, which looks to fuse two colourful IPs with Xcom-style tactical combat.

Destiny 2 will see Bungie's shooter wave goodbye to old-gen consoles, and say hello to PC players. It also looks like the renewed focus on story will continue in the sequel, as shown below.

David Cage and Quantic Dream are working on a futuristic story about choice and self, with androids rising up against their fleshy overlords in Detroit: Become Human.

One game that is sure to excite most PS4 fans is God of War, which looks gorgeous and violent in equal measure. This year we got to see more of the relationship between Kratos and his son.

The Crew 2 sees Ivory Tower return to North America for another high-speed MMO, this time with planes and speedboats adding to the options open to speedfreaks.

Foul-mouthed tirades. Check. Seedy humour. Check. A memorable cast. Check. Lap dancing mini-games with minors. Check. South Park: The Fractured but Whole has all this and more. Parp.

If the crisp clean lines of Forza Motorsport 7 aren't to your taste, then may we recommend Wreckfest as an upcoming alternative. Bugbear's crunching racer is coming out of Early Access this year.

Xbox One X launch title Crackdown 3 got a showing during Microsoft's presser, complete with a surprise reveal that Terry Crews is going to be in the game.

Talion is back in Middle-earth: Shadow of War, and once again we're set to resume our interaction with the unique Nemesis system. No two games will be the same, and lots of orcs are gonna die.

Ori and the Will of the Wisps was announced by Microsoft during its E3 presser, and it's following in the footsteps of its predecessor by looking absolutely stunning.

Another game that can't help but look incredible is Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, the upcoming standalone adventure starring Chloe and Nadine that's heading to PlayStation 4.

After being blown away by the powerful narrative of the original, we can't wait to experience Dontnod's next episodic mini-series, Life is Strange: Before the Storm.

The first DLC for Horizon: Zero Dawn will take players to The Frozen Wilds. Sony's open-world adventure has proved more successful than even they imagined, and Aloy's DLC return should be popular.

We mentioned the return of arena shooters before, and Lawbreakers is another case in point. Cliff Bleszinski's new studio is nearly ready to share its debut title, which is hitting PC and PS4 in August.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus sees Machine Games move the action from Europe to the US of A, with BJ and pals leading the resistance against their mechanised Nazi oppressors.

For a near-six year old game, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is still making regular appearances at E3. This year it made two, one as it's heading to Nintendo Switch. Another, as it's heading to PSVR.

We started with our favourite trailer of E3, so we should probably wrap things up with the most significant. Xbox One X was finally unveiled at this year's E3, and you can see it in more detail below.
