This Year’s Top 10 Oscar Bait Game Trailers

Uncharted 4

This one is pretty obvious. Naughty Dog’s been veering more and more into cinematic gameplay as the years have gone on, so it only makes sense that their game trailers would follow suit. That’s exactly what we get with Uncharted 4’s story trailer, originally released in February.

It’s got everything you’d expect from a drama film gunning for an Oscar: beautiful visuals, tense action, lying to your loved ones, and witty banter to break up the interactions filled with bad vibes. If this were a live action movie, this would probably be Nolan North’s equivalent of The Revenant, because Nathan Drake damn near kills himself to get that last string of accolades.
