| oniyide said: @lordtheknight whats ironic is that you say just cause i didnt see any but you still claim there were little Conduit ads, bull. There were TV ads in the US, google it. there were magazine ads, i know because they ran for about 3 months, i could pick 3 different mags that ran that ad, and ive seen billboards in NYC so there were ads. Wii has online support sure, not nearly as well implemented as the HDs. FYI Bioshock had no tv ads and look how well that did, original mind you. @pacman excitebots is a racing game, there are those on HDs maybe not as weird. Trauma series and Wario intersesting, ill get back to you on that because Wario as good as it is, is like a compilation of a bunch of smaller games. i think i saw some weird thing similiar on Live but im gonna check. ive never played bash party so cant comment. I dont know where your getting fix from. I didnt use that phrase where talking about GE here and thats a FPS. i know not everyone is into FPSs like that. As for motion sure they would that, but like you said its all about implemation. Does it matter if it has motion or not if the game sucks??? no amount of motion tech will fix a poorly made game (looking at you MOHs for Wii) you pull PC out but the PC lacks in some genres as well (fighting being one) and im talking consoles |
I didn't claim there were little, just not as large as a lot of the games on the other systems. Plus the ads themselves didn't really make the game compelling, the way that marketing for other FPS make sure to pique interest in the game.
As for online, I just wrote that there was some, not that the degree was as great as the others.
And you did not do your research, as it took me one search on youtube to find a TV spot for Bioshock. It's a damn impressive one, while The Conduit ads aren't bad, but still make it look generic.
Now if I gave the impression that marketing by itself is all that is needed, that was my mistake. The content of the ads matter, as the ads for this hypothetical situation would make sure to make the games look good. I want to smack heads at Take Two for making Chinatown Wars look like a visual novel spinoff, and blaming DS owners for not rushing out to buy the game.
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
