You'd think it'd be a series that the world audience may have heard of before like a Syphoon or Twisted Metal for them to release in theaters.

I don't see why they didn't just do it with Uncharted 2. Considering that game is already like a movie.

Read the article, they're not announcing a new game or anything, they're just showing the SP of Uncharted 2 in movie theaters.

This has already been done.
I've seen Soul Calibre 4 and Metal Gear Sold 4 advertised at the cinemas.

1.8 - Not just advertizing...
People can actually play Uncharted 2 AT these theaters on the big screen. O_O

By the way, I'm amazed at how many people didn't read the article and thought it was referring to an unannounced game. -_-"

For the people who are to lazy to click the link:

--snip--
On Oct. 5 and 6, four theaters in San Francisco and Thousand Oaks, California, Rosemont, Illinois and Bellevue, Washington, will give viewers a chance to play the upcoming action game "UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves" title -- on movie screens equipped with Sony digital-projection technology.

Those theaters will provide viewers with PS3s connected to Sony's 4K digital cinema technology...

--snip--

So, Sony promotes the PS3, UC2 and their own 4K cinema projectors. That's what they are doing with that.

If they are gonna do that again with GT5, I'll fly there just for that :)

Not a new game, then, just the thing where they're showing off Uncharted 2. That's cool though, I wish I could be there for that.

It's odd. The article makes mention of the new game announcement in the first paragraph, but then they never make mention of it again. I think the new game is Uncharted 2 because it's a new game. It'll be shown at the theater.

2.1 - this is misleading
the game to be unveiled is Uncharted 2. They just wrote it like that because Naughty Dog is showing Single Player for the first time (or some gamplay haven't seen before)..

It is not like they will announce a new title there... move on

This shouldn't have been approved with that title

is more of a mainstream news media outlet. Sony must be doing some aggressive advertising for Reuters to take notice.

More game trailers should be shown at movie theaters. Sony should have shown this epic mgs4 trailer when Konami released the game. http://www.gametrailers.com...

I think Sony don't do things like that because people might mistake them for actual movies instead of games

why Sony hasn't done this yet. I mean...Sony has Sony Pictures (Columbia). They could put some ads on any movies they produced.

CraigsList + my 360 = best move ever.

Got 13 and 14th off from work, recliner still in decent shape, 60" DLP ready to go and Monster M1000 HDMI hooking up the goodies. I cannot wait for UC2!

Yo! I would agree with yal about UC2 being shown.... but...

They said "unveil" which means, nobody knows what it is yet.

At least that's what it usually means......

*edit*

I re-read, and yeah, it does seem like UC2..... jeeze, they shouldn't use those big words and get me excited like that.

Ohhh well, I'm sure they'll do it like that one of these days.

2 theaters in California, 1 in Illinois, and 1 in Washington.

Every other comment I've read here makes me believe people didn't bother reading this article at all.

yes it makes sense..

unless you go to n4g, gametrailers, trade shows, etc etc etc etc etc daily many people do not follow game news and info

thats why word of mouth is still one of the biggest way to market a game....

this will reach people that are not knowledgeable of the ps3 exclusives, a game like uncharted, the ps3 power etc etc etc

better than relying on a fanboy from gamestop or from a media sabotager like the turn 10 employee..

Foook im just saying, imagine being at midnight premier to a big ass movie with the room filled and seeing a baaaddd@@zzzz trailer for Killzone 2 or Gran Turismo 5. I love seeing people impressed and I could only imagine the way the audience would react. It would give me goosebumps. Omfg if Sony had a Killzone 2 trailer in Transformers 2. I would bet it would have seen double if not triple in sales.
