    That teaser from a couple weeks ago has been revealed to be one of the best Playstation ads I can remember. Getting a lot of attention online (and deserved)
    Far cry from the creepy babies & the 3rd place (I think that was 1 ad campaign anyway)

    I really thought that after seeing the shorter ad that this campaign was going to lead to something more. Good ad, but boy am I disappointed.

    maybe a silly question... but who is michael? :/

    Michael represents the gamer. You, me, all of us. It's basically Sony paying tribute to the fans.

    Fantastic ad, proboably the best PS3 ad i've seen.

    Wonder if SCEA will be dropping he Kevin Butler campaign...

    Doubt they would, as great as this is it's not going to make any sense to those not in the know and while a lot of people could get the gist of it even while not knowing the characters Sony still need KB to explain thing like Blu-ray and free online.

    this has to be made into a film :)

    Unread ad

    Only disappointment was using Michael instead of little Jimmy :D

    Looking at that picture now I think that Ezio isn't as good as the rest of them really. There is just something fake about his costume.

    Paul from Tekken behind Ezio :pac:

    Kratus looks weird too, the best is the chimerian guy. Snake sounds like himself, thats hardly david hayter though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,645 ✭✭✭Daemos


    Makes no sense - why would the Chimeran be cheering? :p

    Honest to god, I have read 3 or 4 gaming forums regarding this ad and the amount of people who ask this really bewilders me, did nobody do English in school?

    Metaphors?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,645 ✭✭✭Daemos


    Metaphor?

    Is that a new kind of rocket-launcher?

    Am i the only 1 who would have loved KB just standing in the back, a quick cameo with him among all these characters.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,532 ✭✭✭WolfForager


    The only thing this ad has me thinking about it is... What the f*** happened to SCEE's marketing team? Their PSX/2 ads were fantastic, they've been pretty much dead since the start of this generation.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,614 ✭✭✭The Sparrow


    It's good... but is it this good?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,172 ✭✭✭✭kmart6


    Only saw the Michael ad now after moving to Boston...think it's fúcking brilliant...didn't know what was going on until the end...really good work by Sony/whatever agency is behind it!!
