New PS3 TV Commercial Released By Sony

New PS3 TV Commercial: Evolving Entertainment Released

masterg5885d ago

I saw this one six months ago.

Spinner5885d ago

Got me excited over nothing, it's just another crappy EU ad :/

sonarus5885d ago

i think sony try to hard with these commercials. Just show the best games on the system and play a cool sound track in the back ground period. Trying to pretend like europeans are more classy than the rest of us so they have to have classical music playing lol GTFO with that garbage lol:)

IntelligentAj5885d ago

This was stupid. The best commercials that they had were the last set with music by Saliva and showcasing what the system can do. That's the best ad and they need to find ways to update that ad as I think it's been the most successful.

yesah5885d ago

they need to cover things like the up coming exclusives, low faliure rate, bluray. Not this crap. It looked cool at first but then....No.

CrazedFiend5885d ago

Why would I say that? Avoidance of actually showing anything PS3 related.

I'm sorry, this is a re-post, but nobody saw it the last time I posted it (being I Japan, I always seem to see these articles AFTER everybody's already had their say), and I HAVE TO say this!

I've had my Playstation since launch and I have yet to blow up any suitcases full of money, or quote bad poetry on the toilet, or even throw a dog in the washing machine. And I doubt seriously that anything on PSN will ever make pictures sprout up all over my walls.

Sorry, but here in Japan they put games in their commercials (except 4 maybe Xbox...hmmm...). And in America, well, have you seen the "Ladies and Gentlemen" commecials? While yes, they are DEFINITELY American, they DO make me want to buy a Playstation.

"This is Living"??? Hell, if I didn't already know what the Playstation was, I STILL wouldn't know what it does.

I'm not taking a stab at Europeans or anything, I just HONESTLY believe that Sony Europe chose the wrong ad agency to do their campaign. I know the PS3 is selling over there, but I just wonder exactly how many Europeans out there actually bought their PS3's because of a "This is Living" ad.

Sure these kooky ads can be entertaining and all, but I'm just curious. If any of you out there would honestly lay down the cash for a PS3 because of an ad like this, please reply. Please help me understand where the hook is.

Coffin875884d ago

yeah i'm with you.

i live in germany. there are a few nice EU spots, but this one is really ugly...

the thing is, europe, just like japan, is 99% SONY LAND (forgetting nintendo here). sony OWNS this countries.
everyone i know just likes to see the spots, we don't need to see the great games in the spots, everyone over here KNOWS for a FACT that ps3 has MUCH more potential than the 360. there is no war to win, they already won by announcing the ps3. everyone was bought by that.

so, the thing is, we just like to see what kind of aura they bild behind their hype. if we just see anything that inspires us in a way, and then we see the ps3 logo at the end, it just tells us: hey, this is sony, they don't need to show the games, they just need to create a spirit behind it. and that's exactly what they do. everyone buys a ps3 because it's what everyone got to LOVE over here. there simply is no need to show off graphics. everyone knows ps3 is the best out there.

but yet i have to agree - i would have LOOOVED to see the "ladies and gentlemen" spots over here. they're the best ps3 spots EVER.
(besides the playstation 9 spot at the release of the ps2, this is just cult. youtube it if you don't know it yet.)

well i hope that answers your question :)

Sarick5884d ago (Edited 5884d ago )

After they made that "do you want it" advertisements Sony let that agency go. >.<

Last year before that commercial I made a fourm topic "if you was sony and advertising PS3 how would you do your add"

That do you want it commercial was basically exactly how I wrote it on gamefaqs without the music or image specifics. In essence my commercial was a transforming PS3 showing features and ending with starting at $499.

Yea, I agree though. WTF!

WTF is Sony thinking x10!

CrazedFiend5883d ago

Thanks for the input. That actually makes sense (^o^)

Still hate the commercials tho...

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7211m ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.

Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.

Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

One example

https://youtu.be/yKUGwlFJAH...

Tacoboto1d 20h ago

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.

Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...

CrimsonWing691d 11h ago

Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.

This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦‍♂️

remixx1161d 3h ago

Welcome to the internet crimson

shinoff218320h ago(Edited 20h ago)

I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.

I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also

Also crimson.

As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself

Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp

Tacoboto19h ago

You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.

And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
