It's really interesting to see how different the three trailers are!
TS2 trailer was very upfront, describing the new gameplay, which isn't done much anymore; the trailers today only show you new stuff and let you discover and speculate on what it will actually be like in game. Which I don't hate honestly, it adds to the excitement. It also seemed to focus on rendering the atmosphere of each season. We can hear a lot of sound effects and it shows way more heavy snow and rain than TS4 trailer, in which there is mainly light snow and light rain, except for the short moment when we can see a storm caused by the weather machine. The only sound in TS4 trailer is the music, not much emphasis is put on the potential sound atmosphere, that the viewer has to imagine. However it shows a lot of new interactions, and clearly is focused on the added gameplay.
I also think TS3 trailer was the most appealing because the atmosphere of each season seems so beautiful in it, and I guess for me that is what matters the most in a seasons EP.
Btw can we talk about the choice of music for every TS4 trailers? Most people seem to like them, but personally they always make me so uncomfortable. Am I alone in this? I have nothing against pop music, I even kind of like it, but these songs always seem to be the kind of songs one would expect when watching a trailer for an american teenage movie. I'm almost surprised Zac Efron isn't in there.
By that I do not mean it is a bad song, it is pretty nice, but it does create the effect you are watching something specifically targeted towards teenagers. I wish the trailers didn't always have that same style. For seasons I would have loved to hear something else, maybe jazz for instance, as there are lots of songs associated with Christmas or with summer.
