| oniyide said: @lordtheknight its a FPS, I dont think there was so much they could show with that kind of game. IMHO I think the Conduit commericial is better than 007, just for the fact it acutally showed you what the game looked like. Im a gamer to the core so I dont need commericials or ads to tell me anything. Despite 007's meh ads im still checking it out |
Well the content of TC was "meh", so the ads couldn't really do much by showing the gameplay.
Contrast Gears 1 ads, which didn't even need to show the gameplay, but those ads made it look like something epic, yet personal. Plus the ads stayed for weeks after release.
So it's still content, regarldess of what you show. The content of the ads has to make the game look good. So how the ads work depends on if general core gamers (not those that follow all gaming information they can) find the ads make them want the game, not whether the ad itself is good.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs
