Uncharted 2 could get some high sales.

Entertainment weekly mentioned it, it has amazing hype, a humungous score on metacritic and now an epic commercial

I fail to see how that was deserving of the word "epic".

Disappointed, I came in here expecting something like We Are ODST or Mass Effect's "Distress Call", but this was just a mildly amusing ad.

Please don't misuse the word epic.

That "director of rumors" guy is proving to be a pretty good marketing device.

The commercial was great. Don't expect praise for it on this board though. No matter what commercials Sony comes out with--countercultural or no--the posters here have defaulted their opinion to "terrible."

That actually looked more like a Ps3( console) commercial than an Uncharted 2 commercial.

Yah, because TC misuses the word "Epic" it means everyone hates the commercial right?

The ODST commercial was epic, so to think this commercial is on the same level well? You get the idea.

I find it highly effective at what it does : marketing both the PS3, and the game. It really delivers the message about what Sony Computer Entertainment have been trying to deliver to its consumers this entire generation : streamlining their PS3 console into a medium in which games, movies, music, and multimedia can be blended into a single form of entertainment for its users. So props to the commercial. It is effective, midly funny, epic no. But as a marketing campaign, it is the best and most effective one released by Sony Co. by far this generation.

Needs more paths from the kitchen to the couch. Too linear. Chick with popcorn? How unoriginal. =\

Legs were epic indeed though.

No. I'm saying that even if he didn't use the word "epic," it would still get trashed because it's a Sony commercial.

Nobody bashes commercials because they're from sony, they bash them because they are ****ing bad. Here I'll show you.

This is a great ad.

This is a stupid horrible ad.

Has nothing to do with the brand.

What I like about this commercial is that they actually showed gameplay of Uncharted 2, now that certainly does warrant the word 'epic'. Unlike a certain other game, yeah Im talking about ODST. When I saw that trailer the first thing that came to my mind was 'wheres the gameplay?' lol the advertise would certainly appeal to the Halo fans, the name Halo is enough for them. Maybe next time MS should just make an advertise for 30 seconds consisting only of the name Halo, it would still generate the same response as the 'we are ODST(fanboys) advert'.

Yeah, actually it does. It's pretty fashionable--at least around here--to bash Sony ads just because they're Sony-made.

No it has to do with the fact that Playstation has one of the most inconsisent marketing teams ever. For every great ad they make, they make one that is equally terrible, just like the example I showed. When Sony deserves praise, they get it, and when they don't, they are condemned. The only people who do otherwise are fanboys, but you shouldn't listen to them anyway.

Which is exactly the rationalization used by the anti-Sony crowd to dismiss EVERY ad they make. They see the Nazi Transfusion, the Resistance 2 ad, or the This is Living campaign, and they feel empowered to dismiss them all because the subjectivity of the matter makes everything susceptible. In which case, their opined negativity will be generally considered inarguable.

No. Not just like the example you showed. The terrible ad was one of their first. The great ad was after the terrible ad. You may be thinking of the dumb ad's showing in Japan, maybe, I don't really know if they are shown there. Yeah those are stupid, but SCEA marketing isn't that. The last two years have been good in dealing with ads and recently great.

Would you prefer I use the nazi ad? Just came out this month, and seems to be appropriately dumb to serve my point.

That fat guy they have been using in the comercials is annoying.

I got kind of depressed with the big "11 DAYS UNTIL RELEASE" sign next to the blog, to long to wait. :(
