YouTube PS4 PlayStation 4 1

Do you know what E3's good for? Trailers. Every publisher and their puppy puts out about a bajillion clips over the course of the week, but some standout better than others, of course. Here are ten videos that we reckon you absolutely have to watch if you haven't already. And if you have, then maybe consider watching them again – they're that good.

ABZU

It's Journey – still the best game available on the PS4 today by the way – set under the freakin' sea. What more could you possibly want?

Days Gone

Considering we were expecting Days Gone to be some crude Twisted Metal-esque black metal experience, its sentimental trailer really touched. Plus, that whole "broken road" line ain't bad, is it?

Detroit: Become Human

There are some terrible lines of dialogue in the Detroit: Become Human trailer – "You can't kill me, I'm not alive" – but Quantic Dream did a really good job of illustrating the importance of your actions in this high-stakes short.

God of War

The moment when Kratos walked out of the shadows, we knew that God of War was going to be good – and let it be known that we were staunchly against bringing the bald-headed bad ass back prior to this week. Some are lamenting the "Dadification" of gaming, but it strikes us that gamers – and, indeed, developers – are just growing up.

Gravity Rush 2

Meow! Gravity Rush 2 may not have got the stage time that it so richly deserved, but we lapped up this brief look at Kat's latest after the show – and we've been purring with satisfaction ever since.

NieR Automata

After the disappointing TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan and flat Scalebound demo, who'd have thought NieR Automata would be the game to save Platinum's dwindling reputation? Freakin' NieR.

Spider-Man

This one was masterfully done. There had been rumours that Sucker Punch was making Spider-Man, but they turned to Insomniac Games a little nearer to E3 2016. The problem is that no one believed them, so when the Ratchet & Clank maker's logo was followed by the Marvel icon, the penny finally dropped.

Titanfall 2

Now that the beta testing's over, the complete Titanfall experience is coming to the PS4 – and it's got a campaign. This one definitely had the "old" Infinity Ward touch to it, and it's no surprise, with Respawn's team built upon the foundations of the Call of Duty developer.

The Last Guardian

The Last Guardian, good grief. If you've ever loved an animal, then this trailer will tug at the old heart-strings. Our favourite bit: "What's wrong? Are your wings broken?" All of the f**king feels.

Watch Dogs 2

Watch Dogs 2's personality-laden approach took us by surprise at first, but it's really grown on us over time. We absolutely love the demoscene-esque graphics that populate this trailer, and it's a great showcase of all of the crazy stuff you can expect to get up to in San Francisco.
