Live Action Game Trailers

There are more and more live action trailers shot with well known actors for games. Many years ago there were games like Mad Dog, Phantasmagoria or Wing Commander games which were like an interactive movie but there was a reason for that, the studios were trying to do better and better graphics and animation and one way to do it was to shoot the whole game as a movie.

Slowly with the evolution of games it went out of style but now it's coming back in a different form and for a different reason, check out these live action trailers made to promote games:

Dead Island

Call of Duty: Ghosts

Sleeping Dogs

Prototype 2

The Prototype - Official Teaser Trailer

This teaser trailer is more than a year old, still there is not much more info about this project on the internet. According to IMDB the movie is pre-production, but no release or shooting date is public yet. The teaser trailer has almost 20 million hits on youtube, which is a very high number for an independent production, it all seems very promising, I hope one day they will be able to produce it. Here is the trailer:
