Every Sunday we haul an exciting article out of the Eurogamer archive so you can read it again or enjoy it for the first time if you missed it. John Teti compiled and created these for us back in 2011.

Let's face it, "trailer" is just a fancy word for "advert". They exist to whet our appetites for forthcoming games, to get us excited about them and to make us want to know more. This is why trailers rarely feature footage of loading screens, pause menus or the main character wandering round and round the same set of corridors looking for a rusty key.

But what if things were different? What if trailers revealed what we can really expect from games, or what the people making them are thinking?

Will this MMO have the might to bring down Blizzard's empire? Who knows? Perhaps this developer diary will reveal more.
