There has been virtually no mainstream advertisement for this game.  Supposedly there is a US commercial but I've never seen it (and I watch lots of TV).  Only people that know about this game are internet fan boys.  

Most gamers (20+ million walmart video gamers that buys Call of Duty Black Ops 2 who are also completely unaware of the immense internet hate toward Call of Duty) have no awareness about this game.  (Most of my buddies are on xbox360 and only know few people on PS3) But literally none of my PS3 buddies even know that this game exist.  

I've seen some version of this commercial every day for months:

It is usually playing on one of the sports channels and I see it in the morning when watching highlights while working out.

The only TV I watched are ESPN Sportscenter and football.  I still haven't seen it.  Hmmm.  But I usually watch ESPN at night (~10pm) and not in the morning.  The prime time commercials may be more costly for Sony to advertise.  Xbox360 ads are always on during NFL games.  I've seen some PS3 game commmercials during NFL games, but not often.  However, I do see lots of PS3 ads on Spike TV, but I think those ads are just waste of money.  People that watch Spike TV are mostly fanboys/nerds and already aware of all games/news before the ads hit (like preaching to the choir).

I would love to see more PS3 game ads during the NFL playoffs to target more mainstream audiences......  Hopefully we'll start seeing God of War Ascension ads soon....

Also, this Playstation all-stars commercial is awful.  PS3 game ads just don't show enough of the games, and this commerical doesn't show any of the game.  Uncharted 3 is the only PS3 game within the last couple of years that got proper media push with ads.  U3 ads actually showed in-game footages.  Even God of War 3 ads in the US didn't show enough of the game and too much Kevin Butler.
