10 Weirdest Video Game Commercials

8CN: Sometimes a video game commercial can be pretty straightforward. Some footage from the game, a quick one-liner from the protagonist, and a title with optional release date. Sometimes, though, companies decide to do something different. Sometimes they decide to do something... really weird.

The baby and the splice one were weird as hell, was it released in japan first though? Kus that shit is normal over there

UncleGermrod3763d ago

haha, they have some very diff ideas on what normal is over there

UncleGermrod3763d ago

some of those are just horrible, i love it. gotta love the pole position, so funny how they show this insane action then they show the gameplay...amazes me that years ago that was cutting edge. we've come quite far my friends. and that ps3 baby is gonna haunt my dreams

MASTER_RAIDEN3763d ago

wtf? i remember seeing the super smash 64 commercial when i was a kid and laughing my ass off. wouldnt call it weird by any means. actually pretty genius if you think about it.
the early ps3 commercials and that ps2 alien girl commercial were really, really weird but i absolutely loved everything about them. not sure how well abstract art and scare tactics sell consoles, but they were just so interesting.

hazelamy3763d ago

seriously, a list of the weirdest game commercials and you don't mention David Lynch's third place PS2 ad?

you mention Lynch but not his ad?

for shame.

just watch it and try and tell me this doesn't deserve the number one spot.

Geeze, you're right, that is the weirdest commercial I've ever seen. No idea how I missed that one. I've added it to my list as a "bonus entry." Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Zelda Replay: Majora's Mask

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."

Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.

Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

I'll have to get this! Been a big fan of KI since the very first one.

Petebloodyonion160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

I love KI (still play the old arcade version) but feel like the Xbox version is like a big intimidating chessboard with no easy way to instruct you to play chess.
The game is so deep in terms of little things to do that it makes Smash Bros melee look like a casual experience.
Honestly, doing a combo Breaker is punish/reward by itself but hey you can add a counterbreaker.
Here's what you also need to know

There isn't going to be any chance of this being played at tournaments unless it appears on all platforms like all fighting games.

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH164d ago

SF5 didn’t appear on all consoles and was still played at Tournaments. I’ve seen KI tournaments recently so I don’t think your opinion is accurate.
