What This Trailer Means For Secret Level
Secret Level Plays On Nostalgia
Set to the tune of sweeping music, theSecret Leveltrailer takes a sentimental approach. Text on screen calls the show’s anthology of narratives “groundbreaking stories from your favorite games.“This plays on the nostalgia that futureSecret Levelviewers will have for the gamesfeatured in the Prime Video series. Several of the games featured, such asPac-ManandMega Man,are classics and will draw in an audience that has a long history with these titles.
Fallout Wasn’t A Fluke For Prime’s Video Game Adaptations & Keanu Reeves' Upcoming TV Show Proves It
Prime Video is nailing the video game adaptation, with the upcoming Secret Level fitting in nicely alongside their successful Fallout adaptation.
Another notable aspect of theSecret Leveltrailer is the animation style. While it is a crisp approach with sophisticated CGI, it gives the different stories a more similar look than they have in their games of origin. For example, the style is clearly altered a little bit forSpelunky, which was originally a 2D platformer game but looks far more similar toSecret Level’s interpretation ofConcordthan it does to its source material. Thesestylistic elements could be divisive among fansof the original games, who are attached to their classic looks.
