GameTrailers is taking a creative approach with a story trailer for Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed II released on the eve of the game’s big debut. The site is featuring a long-form trailer setting up the storyline in the sequel through a montage of previously released video trailers.
Titled the Red Carpet Trailer, the video uses an existing GameTrailers interview with one of the game’s developers as narration and ties together about a half dozen previous videos. The montage is set up so that with each segment the original trailer’s title, release date, and the number of times it was downloaded at GameTrailers is displayed on screen. It’s a nifty segue device, and overall a creative approach in making old seem new again and getting more mileage out of existing video content.
Watch it at GameTrailers.
