Original – Dustforce gameplay trailer

Reason: Aside from playing a video game yourself, the best way to show a video game's mechanics and its style is in video format. There are some video game trailers which are full of theatrical trickery and outright fabrications, this isn't one of those. This depicts pure gameplay, the reader sees all the characters, a selection of the worlds they must navigate and the enemies which inhabit them. The typical 2D platformer style presentation of the game, and the techniques the characters exhibit, such as double jumping and wall jumping also serve the Platform game article well.

The original video was H264/AAC, you can see it on Youtube. I transcoded the video to WebM with VLC, keeping bitrates similar. But if you're a video guru, you might be able to do better.

Support indeed a video is a much better way of showcasing gameplay mechanics than static pictures. dllu (t,c) 23:53, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Support but mainly for the EV in Trailer (promotion). Can't think of any more recent trailers which could be used, especially for video games. Mind you, for the gameplay mechanics this is also pretty good. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:35, 19 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
