as someone with 2.5k hours in For Honor its so so nice to see someone whos never played the games watch these awesome trailers, really got me hyped back when i first started playing
I can see why however to do that in real life would be an absolute ball ache! Storytelling wise though or to get your brain thinking outside of the box. Absolutely!
One cool thing that was pointed out to me: You can clearly see the viking is holding an axe at 2:24 , but right before the match cut it shows him lift the knight's sword into frame before it cuts to the knight holding it. It's a pretty cool transition straight into the climax. Absolutely loved For Honor for years, and adored this cinematic.
@@kaizammitIf you do a shake on the kick for the transition during a close up it blurs the shot a bit, My dude are you new to the film industry? You Seem on the amateur side 😬🤦🏿♂️ The first trailer where you attempted to critique other then small nit pick from an actual film study student was near perfection, No shame you good bro just critiquing your attempted critiques🤙🏿
@@riordian2 For Honor is a multiplayer focused live service, I know it sounds stinky but the combat system is unbeatable and the only currency in the game is free so microtransaction are at a minimum(pretty much non-existent). However the story mode has one of the best villain's ever created in media in general. Apollyon is a super intriguing antagonists and the story is fantastic but one of the only problems is the devs are underpaid which makes it feel like the players really don't ever get what they ask for with updates and the story modes combat system is outdated compared to the multiplayer. However I can't recommend this game enough if your into medieval combat, it puts chivalry and mordauh to shame.
@@MrJoseBucanerooYea but there’s a technique to balance out everything. An secret and ancient technique passed down from our soulsborn ancestors, it’s called “git gud”
Love this game to bits and can’t wait for the character trailers reaction. Despite the lesser quality when compared to these ones in terms of filmmaking, those were the trailers that truly got me hooked through the character building of each hero.
Fun fact, the game is set in the 2000's. Idk exactly when, but it is set in the 2000's. The centuries of war really did a number on technological advancment.
YES! Never would I have thought to see this amazing game back again in 2024. Definitely my fav title around that time with the most amazing trailers, which actually managed to get me into my current school after doing a historic video edit with them. Awesome that you checked them out 🔥
@@kaizammit can't wait this is my favorite game and i don't know much about film but i always appreciate watching someone passionate about their favorite thing and i'm learning a lot as well.
It’s sad no one realizes just how good this game is now. I played the beta when it launched and the game then and now after years of balance are night and day
The beta was often times better, they've stripped off so many mechanics in the final release. But I get your point, still. I think For Honor had far more potential, far more variety in characters without the need of introducing another 2 factions which just made the game lose the point of fighting with honor for a side.
As a big for honor player during the first year I found the balance issues with the new characters annoying enough to stop but going back to it I just don't know their move sets and just kills the fun for me when I only win against half the characters because I only know half the moves they can do. Yes I could spend time learning the moves of the newer characters but its a lot to learn multiple. The only reason I didn't run into that problem on release is because everyone else also didn't know what the hell was going on along side me. I guess what I meant by this is just that it is really hard to get into the game which is why it never really made a comeback. The skill gap between a new player/returning player is just to much with a game like for honor
Sadly 2 years ago started loosing the serious atmosphere these trailers give you. For sure a bit of sillyness is good, it's a game after all, and FH community never lacked it, but they went too far into the memes
You‘re definitely right, but what I think most good and knowledgeable FH players forget is, this game is overall dogshit in terms of balancing and it’s not really what was promised in the trailers, almost nothing besides characters you see in the trailer is really in the game to play/interact with. I already accepted this fact, but even after 3000 hours of playing I still sometimes think how sad it is this game isn’t what the trailers showed. Instead of epic (which it kinda was at launch) it’s more arcadey now imo. Balancing now compared to launch? Night and Day and definitely better, but looking at it overall as a non FH fan, I get why 99% of people dropped this game, it’s sadly mostly power creep nowadays which made most characters stale and too similar to each other.
@@denizilhan5265 True, the game should've been a bit slower and more tactical, but that would lower the player count cause many players are just toxic people with attention span lower than a chicken.
Marching Fire and Harbringers reveal cinematics (Vortiger, Sakura, Hulda, Zhanhu) as well as other Hero trailers are also worth a look btw. For Honor has grown into much more over the years than what it was in 2017.
There are also character specific reveal and release trailers that you could look at. Perhaps even Executions? They are character specific fatalities basically and they are pretty cinematic.
Ive used hidden transitions or match cuts before in one of my older videos here on youtube. I used a acope zoom in transition to swap maps in a sniper montage i made of battlefield 4
@kaizammit it flowed very well to my liking. Didn't seem out of place in the video sorry for the late reply I've only just gotten an notification about this
8:01 I think the voice is good but the reason it doesn’t fit as well with the trailer and the camera movements are static is because this isn’t the original of this. The voice actor is original but this is actually from the 360 “In The Heart of Battle” Cinematic For Honor trailer.
I absolutely love For Honor and still play it to this day. But its, I think, one of the few games thats been ruined not by the devs. But by how good players got. How players just got so good on the scale where it made fights a staring fight. Its a wild story.
The issue is that the game only really has two types of players nowadays. Veterans who have been there for years and beginners taking their first steps. But the vicious cycle is that a lot of these beginners don't stay around for long because of the game's frustrating/toxic/competitive nature. Typically every time I've tried to introduce a friend to the game they get on it about a few weeks, maybe a month or so before dumping it once they start having a few good games and the matchmaking places them against the veterans.
😂😂😂 25:32 Quickly checked my mails on an other tab. Kai (immediately): Where are we looking? Surprised return to the video. Kai (looking at me suspiciously): Where was you looking? Chill out bro, i am listening. No offense or something 🤣
Hey Kai, 8 year for honor veteran here. I recommend you check out all the DLC character reveal trailers as well they're very short except for the marching fire trailer which you should also watch but all of them added up should make a decently long video to cover them all. Also, this game despite its very mixed community being either very nice people or toxic as hell, no in between. Is worth giving a shot. The game had a rough launch but it's in a really good place right now. The combat is very unique and there's nothing else like it. The customization is also amazing. I recommend you try it out!
I've actually got a video out next week hopefully with all the character trailers in. I hope you come back and watch! Thank you for suggesting I try it out, I think I shall!
It's like someone wanted to make a Photorealistic, TPS, PVP, PVE, Story-Campaign, Multiplayer, Melee Combat, Real-time Strategy for Rock-Paper-Scissor.
Apollyon is expanded on in the actual campaign, mostly cinematics, luckily not "gameplay" but she does voice over world building making her seem more knowledgeable. (I fangirl over how she's done. Mostly cause it's done RIGHT!)
TL;DR *glimmer of hope in your eye. Melee game cinematics need to sell camera work to catch the players who want to get into their game, always a winner if the cinematics are great on my list of games to play. Melee driven combat games always rank higher for me on the cinematics, they almost have to make the camerawork sell the power of each move and I love how it accentuates the characters strength behind each attack & think the reason for using a close camera that stretches' out in combat is to emphasize your character being the main focus, powerful and strong but also when we zoom out we see that others are on an equal plane, shot from a similar perspective almost, suggesting that even though you are powerful on your own, there are others who are just as powerful & you might need to fight a challenging battle, again that itself carries the weight of the characters & idea that they all are actual people you will be playing with or against. EDIT; ye the last cinematic is the proof in the pudding, treat your camera like a living thing, it's in the world & it needs those small reactions & corrections to be able to exist in this world, to be able to 'look' at the story & tell the audience, 'here are my shoes, walk in them & see what I saw, also there is this pesky rock in the left one I couldn't get out'... OR not doing it you get the smooth stable floating ethereal eye in the sky effect to just fly in, peek around for its own viewing pleasure and leave again without being 'seen' or 'noticed' in the world. *glimmer in my eye as I finish typing... eyyy reader notice the *glimmer ey, devil in the details when you enjoy something.
I still wanna recommend "The Crew - E3 2013 - Announcement Trailer" and "The Crew - Launch Trailer" from 10 years back. Still some of my all time favorite trailers
I honestly don't remember a time when Knights were considered something cheesy on the Internet, especially with souls game being around. Always saw people saying they were badass
It was really good Imo for a good few years, but at some point it just started to become an unbalanced spam fest with barely any technicality in the fights
Love your reactions and breakdowns🤩! Please watch the Marching Fire Cinematic! One another note, I'd love for you to check out the "Beautiful Light" announcement trailer.
Sounds like a wet dream mate tbh haha I'm actually, recording Titanfall 2 this weekend and then Gears Of War 1. They won the poll over on Patreon. I'll add Transformers on the next vote. I'm going to cover more all cutscenes/ game movies from now on so expect to see it happen sooner rather than later. Hope you'll stick around until it happens. KZ
@@kaizammit yeah, but I meant specifically compilations of the executions, the finishing moves. Those are some dope cinematography and choreography as well, and the hero trailers only feature parts of a hero’s first 4 ones. New ones are continously beint added, and some of them are masterpieces.
Hey Kai, just curious, you do a lot of trailer reactions, but would you ever do reactions to cutscenes in games? I know a good amount of games with great cutscenes that I feel like would be so fun to watch you breakdown
I'm actually going to start doing more of those type of videos so yeah! I've got three coming up soon, Halo 4, Titanfall 2 and Gears of War 1. They are more reaction only type videos as I can't breakdown a whole game movie down but setting the bar now. What games did you have in mind?
@@kaizammit well God of War is a really good one to start off with. The two most recent ones are done all in “one shot”. From cutscene to gameplay, the camera never cuts or fades to black the whole game. What you could do too, for game cutscenes, is choose a game and then a theme, whether it be fighting or emotional or something else. Then just search up a compilation of “all fights from [insert game title]”. That way, you’re not just sitting through 3 to 4 hours of gameplay and you still get a good amount of content
Everything from the lore to the gameplay to the art style to the overall world building of this game was spectacular! Unfortunately, I believe that the Developers loss it’s main story and has pushed a very questionable path, and also very questionable characters that had nothing to do with the main three factions that originally started the game and also made the campaign ending feel very weird, knowing that the multiplayer was meant to be the story equivalent of you fighting for your faction in the campaign. I hope that made sense.
you should have a look at the war thunder cinematic trailers if you get interested i think there’s about 3 or 4 of them and all have reall cool stories
@@kaizammit yes, that's exactly it. That's not a historical helmet, and you can really see how the details are 1 to 1 with the warden, despite it too having been inspired on some other fantasy helmet
Like all games still has it problems but its so much better now too bad its too late to become big game still get matches within1 to 5 mins and some people are super salty but still good time
You should consider the character trailers! Its quite a lot, but there is excellent worldbuilding in them and would make a good example to contrast with Honkai Star Rails style of character trailers. More technical side vs more charcater-driven like
Already filmed it, coming soon. Probably next week if I can edit it in time. One of my favourite trailers was one that most people wouldn't like. I totally digged it. Haha
Ah..i remember watching the trailers on repeat all those years ago.....much to my regret and shame i bought the Gold Edition and spent way to much of my life playing this game even tho it absolutely pissed me off lol. Did enjoy the closed Alpha and Beta...release and on...no so much.
As someone with almost 2k hours into this game I truly loved it. The only thing that has now stopped me from playing it anymore is just the ridiculous new heroes and terrible balance changes. The game had a great life span to so I’m not even upset it’s just they have not dropped any content worth anything while the dlc heroes have completely ruined the game.
Everyone complains about ubisoft killing the game, but it's not entirely Ubisofts fault. I agree it could be better, but it's way better than it was on release. The community also had a hand in killing it. At one point, ubisoft made an effort to massivley overhaul the voices of the characters. Giving them new voices, lines of dialogue, and i think reactive voice lines. The community backlashed so hard that the devs reversed the changes and sunk all that money into the drain. I think that was a tipping point for the decline of the game. It wasn't the only one, but it definitely didn't help.
All i see in this game is war Because only the victors write the tale, but in these none win Seriously, we need more war type games Not rushed ones with actual love put into em so we can just get you to have a blast watching the trailers
they had a good combat system but...nothing else. You played 2h of the open beta and you were done, you had done and seen everything. Not a surprised it died.
18:12 I hate hollywood fight scenes with the quick cuts etc, I grew up watching jackie chan, jet li and the like so I couldn't stand jason bourne and the other american action movies. John wick definitely was a step in the right direction
Just to say every comment here saying how the game fell off is not true people.still play it and enjoy it. The only problem is that since is a fighting game and multiplayer people are salty and keep whining about it on issues of how some heroes are stronger but in reality they are mad that people lose a match and rant about it on twitter, reddit and even youtube even give a lot of shit to ubisoft.
Love these trailers to this day, used to be a warden main for 3 years, spent way too much time on this game. Seeing this again made me realise, how much of an underused character Appolyon is and how great a story game/RPG set in this universe could be if they focused more on great story-writing and less on battlepasses no one buys... There is an animated/scripted "gameplay"-trailer, perhaps that's in your next video. That one had me and my friends hyped back then, turns out, the game looked nothing like that. Still a nice watch tho and since it was scripted gameplay, there should be plenty of cinematography-decisions you can talk about. Thanks for the great breakdowns as always!
Holy shit, I had completely forgotten how insane these cinematics were. The game was so incredible (for the first few years) and the cinmeatics and just generally the animations of all the characters in the game gave such a cool vibe and experience

I think that one is in the next For Honor video.

The story of the For Honour campaign is severely underrated as well.
this game has a campaign?xD is it like single players? cause I think I have for honor from epic games but I never even played it lol
@@riordian2 For Honor is a multiplayer focused live service, I know it sounds stinky but the combat system is unbeatable and the only currency in the game is free so microtransaction are at a minimum(pretty much non-existent).

@@riordian2 the campaign is single player or 2 player co-op online 0 couch co-op but the campaign is short
@@riordian2 Yeah it has a campaign lol. It's not dark souls level of polished but it is a very good and interesting commentary on the nature of war.
It would make probably the best movie known to mankind
the combat in this game is exquisite highly recomend.
I hear it's cheap on steam right now. Might pick it up if it's a few quid. You've sold me on it. Bastard! Haha costing me money.
@@kaizammitanother one
@@kaizammitif you actually download it I’d surprised if you can look at the trailers the same
Game was set up for so much success with just the premise alone, too bad Ubisoft.
I mean the game is still receiving consistent updates. It’s one of ubi’s longest run series at this point. I’d say it’s done pretty well.
The game right now is great though. It just had a bad launch
@@ironmaiden93ofangmar Wasn't it having big issues with balancing last couple years?
@@MrJoseBucanerooit does but it’s insanely addicting probably cause that skill ceiling is so insanely high
@@MrJoseBucanerooYea but there’s a technique to balance out everything. An secret and ancient technique passed down from our soulsborn ancestors, it’s called “git gud”
Thats Ubisoft for you. Ubisoft and Blizzard sharing 1th place for best CGI cinematic maker.

@@kaizammit always man keep it up 👍
You need to watch for honor marching fire trailer that is one of the best trailers they have made
I've got a video coming later this week.
Fun fact, the game is set in the 2000's. Idk exactly when, but it is set in the 2000's. The centuries of war really did a number on technological advancment.
Man when I say this game had me in a chokehold for a good 6 years of my life. The world premier video had me hooked right from the beginning.
So glad you reacted to it
Me too! I've got all the character trailers coming soon, maybe next week with another franchise.
YES! Never would I have thought to see this amazing game back again in 2024. Definitely my fav title around that time with the most amazing trailers, which actually managed to get me into my current school after doing a historic video edit with them. Awesome that you checked them out 🔥

I feel so old watching these trailers again, been playing For Honor since 2018 and the first Test Your Metal event
Marching Fire and Harbringers reveal cinematics (Vortiger, Sakura, Hulda, Zhanhu) as well as other Hero trailers are also worth a look btw. For Honor has grown into much more over the years than what it was in 2017.
Editing that video now! Soon.
36:23 something to me seems off about how that body falls. It looked like it got pushed in some way without an actual push being showed.
Man i love to watch when he got this excited for a video like this.
this is the video i needed even though i didn't know about it. waiting for more!
I highly recommend The Division trailers. Also from this time period at Ubisoft, really good stuff.
love that your shirt basically has Warden on it
There are also character specific reveal and release trailers that you could look at. Perhaps even Executions? They are character specific fatalities basically and they are pretty cinematic.
I need to turn on that bell now this man hitting some classic soon
Love this game. So unique you won't find anything like it, glad it's still around

Ruining it how?

New hero soon! Get hyped people!

Mr zammit I wonder if the next game cutscenes you react to after the halo 4 video could be the highmoon studios transformers war for/fall of Cybertron
Sounds like a wet dream mate tbh haha I'm actually, recording Titanfall 2 this weekend and then Gears Of War 1. They won the poll over on Patreon. I'll add Transformers on the next vote.
I'm going to cover more all cutscenes/ game movies from now on so expect to see it happen sooner rather than later.
Hope you'll stick around until it happens. KZ
I know they technically don’t fit, but checking out all the executions after the cinematics would be a hell of a ride.
I've got an all characters video coming soon, already recorded it. That had a lot of death in.
@@kaizammit yeah, but I meant specifically compilations of the executions, the finishing moves. Those are some dope cinematography and choreography as well, and the hero trailers only feature parts of a hero’s first 4 ones. New ones are continously beint added, and some of them are masterpieces.
Has anyone mentioned that Vessel of Hatred Trailer? Hoping every day for the last two weeks that u got in to it 😋
Is that the Diablo one? I will be coming back to Diablo soon so Cutscenes from the older titles and this new one.
@@kaizammit Yes exactly! Was hoping for a little prio on ur list for this one... i mean its big budget blizzard 🤩🤩🙃
I've just recorded all the Overwatch short films so to me, I've got lots of Blizzard coming. Probably to much if that makes sense.
Watch... Star Wars: Squadrons - Official Reveal Trailer (2mins) & “Hunted” CG Short (7mins) 🤙love all your reactions and breakdowns
You should react to Elden Ring story and gameplay trailers, they're so good, full of subtle lore and hidden mysterious
Got it! Thank you.
Hey Kai, just curious, you do a lot of trailer reactions, but would you ever do reactions to cutscenes in games? I know a good amount of games with great cutscenes that I feel like would be so fun to watch you breakdown
I'm actually going to start doing more of those type of videos so yeah! I've got three coming up soon, Halo 4, Titanfall 2 and Gears of War 1. They are more reaction only type videos as I can't breakdown a whole game movie down but setting the bar now. What games did you have in mind?
@@kaizammit well God of War is a really good one to start off with. The two most recent ones are done all in “one shot”. From cutscene to gameplay, the camera never cuts or fades to black the whole game. What you could do too, for game cutscenes, is choose a game and then a theme, whether it be fighting or emotional or something else. Then just search up a compilation of “all fights from [insert game title]”. That way, you’re not just sitting through 3 to 4 hours of gameplay and you still get a good amount of content
Everything from the lore to the gameplay to the art style to the overall world building of this game was spectacular! Unfortunately, I believe that the Developers loss it’s main story and has pushed a very questionable path, and also very questionable characters that had nothing to do with the main three factions that originally started the game and also made the campaign ending feel very weird, knowing that the multiplayer was meant to be the story equivalent of you fighting for your faction in the campaign. I hope that made sense.
man I'd love to see you review anime cinematics. attack on titan is the super popular one that new reactors are doing.
Would love to but I hear Anime on TH-cam for copyright is a monster task to get through.
you should have a look at the war thunder cinematic trailers if you get interested i think there’s about 3 or 4 of them and all have reall cool stories
I'll check them out!
you really should watch all the Total war warhammer cinematics, they are mostly 10 out of 10's
"I really like this knight's helmet"
Yeah it's the one on your shirt bro lmao
My t-shirt isn't a For Honor branded tee. Maybe this game inspired the shirts designers, they do look pretty similar.
@@kaizammit yes, that's exactly it. That's not a historical helmet, and you can really see how the details are 1 to 1 with the warden, despite it too having been inspired on some other fantasy helmet
you need to look at marching fire DLC trailer
Like all games still has it problems but its so much better now too bad its too late to become big game still get matches within1 to 5 mins and some people are super salty but still good time
You should consider the character trailers! Its quite a lot, but there is excellent worldbuilding in them and would make a good example to contrast with Honkai Star Rails style of character trailers. More technical side vs more charcater-driven like
Already filmed it, coming soon. Probably next week if I can edit it in time. One of my favourite trailers was one that most people wouldn't like. I totally digged it. Haha
Aw man you missed the marching fire trailer!
The game is great. Best it ever was and so unique. If you didnt play try it. You will love it... And hate
This has a special place in me heart :,( Warden…plz
You should try reacting to apex legends cinematic trailers you might like them
Ah..i remember watching the trailers on repeat all those years ago.....much to my regret and shame i bought the Gold Edition and spent way to much of my life playing this game even tho it absolutely pissed me off lol. Did enjoy the closed Alpha and Beta...release and on...no so much.
Ah henry has come to see us
I've got to cover that game so I can put it to bed haha.
If your not playing forhonor in 2024 your just not that good to everybody that is still here more peace and love to all of y’all 💕💕💕💕💕
As someone with almost 2k hours into this game I truly loved it. The only thing that has now stopped me from playing it anymore is just the ridiculous new heroes and terrible balance changes. The game had a great life span to so I’m not even upset it’s just they have not dropped any content worth anything while the dlc heroes have completely ruined the game.
Youve gotta react to elden ring trailers next
I've got them on my list so I will cover them.
Kai, love the videos mate you should react to the Rainbow Six Siege cinematics they are all very well done
Alright fella, I will!
@@kaizammitwhat a guy!!!
I’d like to see you react to God of war trailers
Sounds like fun! I don't think I've covered any Playstation games on the channel so far??
Play For honor, we need more players.
Everyone complains about ubisoft killing the game, but it's not entirely Ubisofts fault. I agree it could be better, but it's way better than it was on release.
The community also had a hand in killing it. At one point, ubisoft made an effort to massivley overhaul the voices of the characters. Giving them new voices, lines of dialogue, and i think reactive voice lines. The community backlashed so hard that the devs reversed the changes and sunk all that money into the drain. I think that was a tipping point for the decline of the game. It wasn't the only one, but it definitely didn't help.
All i see in this game is war
Because only the victors write the tale, but in these none win
Seriously, we need more war type games
Not rushed ones with actual love put into em so we can just get you to have a blast watching the trailers
they had a good combat system but...nothing else. You played 2h of the open beta and you were done, you had done and seen everything. Not a surprised it died.
Do they not explain how or why the world forced everyone together? I really like the concept of this game.
@@kaizammit maybe they do now or did later. Not back when I stopped playing it.
Well that's shite.
Can you do The Last Of Us 2?
Trailer breakdown or all cutscenes/game movie type video?
Wait, You don't happen to have a cousin who works as a Blacksmith in Czech Republic, right?
Is this a in-game joke or are you being serious? I'm actually curious.
@@kaizammit Just a nod to Kingdom Come Deliverance, you strike the resemblance of the protagonist, my good sir
Oh yes, I've heard this plenty of times. I must cover the game and put this to bed!
@@kaizammit Yippee😸
if only it wasn’t ubisoft who made this game
"For Honor", The most ironic title in gaming history, considering nobody plays with any lol.
Loved this game, played it for early access and years after, nowadays, not a fan, really gone downhill since then
18:12 I hate hollywood fight scenes with the quick cuts etc, I grew up watching jackie chan, jet li and the like so I couldn't stand jason bourne and the other american action movies. John wick definitely was a step in the right direction
Marching fire was when the game was really at its peak, after warmonger copy cat got added the game fr fr started dying off
Just to say every comment here saying how the game fell off is not true people.still play it and enjoy it.
The only problem is that since is a fighting game and multiplayer people are salty and keep whining about it on issues of how some heroes are stronger but in reality they are mad that people lose a match and rant about it on twitter, reddit and even youtube even give a lot of shit to ubisoft.
Love these trailers to this day, used to be a warden main for 3 years, spent way too much time on this game. Seeing this again made me realise, how much of an underused character Appolyon is and how great a story game/RPG set in this universe could be if they focused more on great story-writing and less on battlepasses no one buys...
There is an animated/scripted "gameplay"-trailer, perhaps that's in your next video. That one had me and my friends hyped back then, turns out, the game looked nothing like that. Still a nice watch tho and since it was scripted gameplay, there should be plenty of cinematography-decisions you can talk about.
Thanks for the great breakdowns as always!
I was beyond hype with this game but the connection issues and the pay to win ruined it for me
Holy shit, I had completely forgotten how insane these cinematics were. The game was so incredible (for the first few years) and the cinmeatics and just generally the animations of all the characters in the game gave such a cool vibe and experience
