Emotionally Evocative Game Advertisements

Theory Interactive's Reset Game Trailer is Cinematic

The Reset game trailer, crafted by the Finnish studio Theory Interactive, is an expressive and moving representation of the 3D computer game that it is promoting.

With video games become more and more lifelike all the time, the ability to incorporate mind-blowing graphic design elements into game play has come to be expected in the gamer world. Theory Interactive however, has managed to pull off a high-budget blockbuster quality trailer without spending a bundle -- something that is extremely difficult to manage.

The cinematic video features a lone robot sitting in an abandoned city while time slowly passes it by. Eventually, as narrated by stunning time lapse and a moving musical score, the robot snaps back into action and is ready to take on the world.
