i like it, good commercial!

Red_Orange_Juice4934d ago

Sony is back to their old PS2 weird style commercials.

theonlylolking4934d ago

I liked the socom commercial http://www.youtube.com/watc... absolutely priceless.

CrIpPeN4934d ago

They had weird ones before for PS3, but they was terrible so I guess you don't remember them or haven't seen them.

Sony is bad at marketing.

plstcsldgr4934d ago

bull crap they've has like 3 bad round of commercials with the white room as the latest Sony used to have the best commercials for games the crash bandicoot run was definitely one of the tops.

Tapewurm4934d ago

Really looking forward to Socom 4....would be nice to see Sony put some advertising behind it..... Socom is the reason we have Call of Duty......it's about time for it to make a comeback... I hope :) Here's to dreaming.....pls let Socom 4 be the shiz!!

The way I see it, it is making playstation gamers out to be big babies. I am sure that is not the intention but trying to associate a baby with gaming makes no sense.

It could have been with younger people, true. Just not a baby. Maybe someone in their tweens or something going through the motions of an adult.

I think the KB ads are way better.

-Alpha4934d ago (Edited 4934d ago )

I laughed more with this ad then I have with any KB ad.

It was creepy, but also incredibly funny and adorable. It grabs the attention of just about anybody and delivers its "Play" message well.

I really liked it and wouldn't mind seeing it air in NA

CombineElite4934d ago (Edited 4934d ago )

That was a very big head baby. Other than that it was a good commercial.

So where's the new KB commercial cause even though I like that commercial I expect to see KB or Marcus every time I see a PS3 commercial, and not some big head baby.

"Step ya Game up"!

@ the_only_lol_king
Aww man that Jester commercial was classic.

Blacktric4934d ago (Edited 4934d ago )

I said off topic. On topic; beautiful commercial, from composition to music. But its kind of creepy in a funny way.

theonlylolking4934d ago

The last scene in the commercial represents a baby perfectly. Just wont stop pressing the button for the car.

Look at that... it doesn't take 500 million dollars to make commercials.

Creativity.. not just throwing money at something.

Blaze9294934d ago

who spends 500 million dollars to make commercials? Please, post links.

OC_MurphysLaw4934d ago

While it maybe a creative commercial...the message is completely lost and to be frank sends a mixed message about gamers. Apparently Sony views gamers as children...dare I say babies... at the core. Its a "we know its meant for kids but its ok for you to get it too commercial"

I think they should just stick with Kevin Butler.

one2thr4934d ago (Edited 4934d ago )

Well the message's that I have taken from this Ad is that; Being a mature gamer doesnt mean you shouldnt block out the fun aspect of gaming, meaning that things shouldnt always be taken too seriously.
Or on the other hand, is that even though the PS3 is mature it still needs to grow up and that it haven't touched or havent touched all the areas of gaming, or even at its 100% mature state, there still are areas where it can be improved..... but then again I can be wrong.... Or like you said there are some lost messages or maybe te Ad can be perceived differently

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow5d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1824d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie4d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere4d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney3d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody5d ago (Edited 5d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno5d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno4d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii4d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno4d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
