Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Trailer

I chose this trailer due to two factors. Mostly, based on how well and efficiently it shows the new mechanic for this iteration of NFS where you play as a cop. Secondly because, like all my posts about Mario Kart 8, I legitimately really like Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit.

     The main purpose of this trailer, as exhibited by the title, was to show off the weapons that the police has access to. Throughout the trailer, you get to see each tactic of taking down a racer while seeing only real gameplay.

First, you see the easiest tactic and one that doesn't require any recharge and is available to both the racers and the police, which is ramming them.
   
Then you see the EMP attack, which requires steady driving and aim lock in order to hit. When it does hit however, it proves to be deadly.

After some more creative driving, you get to see the spike strip, something that gets exponentially harder to dodge the closer the racer is behind you. This shows that you need to be aware of all your surroundings if you want to successfully take down all those pesky racers.

I don't need to go over the entire breakdown of the trailer since the helicopter is a more effective and surprising version of the standard spike strip. Either way, you get to see all of the take down tactics (besides the Block, which is a row of squad cars to block the road perpendicularly) and see the game in action without all of the not so helpful but often pretty pre-rendered graphics that are so popular in many trailers. The trailer is able to show you an entire race in just under 2 minutes of gameplay that is only interrupted by actual in game cut-aways of takedowns, making it a very effective and concise showing of the game that makes you want to see and play more.
