I wonder how Sony is going to market this casual-ish game...

All they have to do is run colourful ads with the really catchy soundtrack this game has.

The game will sell itself.


I disagree. I think you've got to explain it a bit more to get them more excited. I don't see colorful adds with catchy music moving a system to the casual crowd.

This is a game people aren't goign to know anything about. Without any explination it will just look like another platformer. Even while showing editor events I don't think it will come across what is going on. It might just look like a "Lemmings" type game.

Unless you already know a lot about LBP i can't see an add campaign like that working. 


We must be watching different Wii ads then.

I'm dressed in white in a nicely decorated room waving a stick with some mates... catchy music bit... oh look I've skipped a rope!

I actually agree LBP might struggle to find an audience - but I doubt advertising it will be difficult, it'll be getting existing PS3 owners to try it and the fact a lot of people who might like the ad will probably have a Wii and might not fancy the cost of a PS3 to get the game.

But it does look like the best game since Portal (which was for sure my GOTY - innovation first always in my book particularly if its linked to enjoyable gameplay and a cool experience) so I'm really hoping it breaks out from the mould and finds a huge audience.

 



Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
