Forums - Microsoft - Awesome Advert/Trailer hits TV's in the UK. Very impressive.

This is a very well made advert. I think many haters will be surprised when the xbone performs much better than they would hope.

Why are there so many dislikes on the video, it's quite good?


Sony fans. Thats how youtube works. This video was actually on Xbox Live dash for awhile. But the first time Ive seen it on TV.


I dont think its so much sony fans as much as it is the Internet being the Internet

If its a Sony video Xbox fans do it. Yes its the internet, but I meant its Sony fans that thumbed this vid down.

then i guess ther are just more sony fans the xbox fans atm :/

The song choice is bad. Video otherwise is quite good, if not a little misleading as far as "exclusives" goes.

Microsoft has always had the best advertising teams out of the 3 console makers. Sony can learn a thing or two, or nine, from them.

These are the system ads I love. Nothing but great games!

That was alright actually. Didn't like the music, but it did a good job of showing a lot of important titles. Might've left Madden off myself, if this is indeed an advert for the UK, but the rest were good.

The one thing I don't get is why they're pushing Halo, though. I mean, I do understand that it's an important multi-million selling IP but it seems far too early in the game to be showing it along with the other titles they listed. Aside from that clip from the trailer that we've already seen, there's literally bugger all else we know about the game.

Well, habibi we know that Halo is going to be there at launch, so it's a bit of a teaser, right? Kind of like a movie trailer. I think this is going to be a bit of a tv-series type deal, maybe an interactive game. Wouldn't a teaser like that be legit for marketing? I guess with movies we know what to expect so it's a bit disingenuous here, but then again it's Halo so no matter if it's a movie, a series or an interactive series, I think it's something the fans can look foreward to.

My two cents, not that you have to agree. :)

I think it was pretty darn awesome. No personal interest in an Xbone at the moment, but that's one of the best video game ads I've seen in quite a while. Pure gaming. Well done, MS.

Oh, was it a trailer for the Halo mini-series that they were talking about?  Maybe.  I'd forgotten about that!  I presumed it was for the title they teased at E3.

Hehe, yeah I think it's co-developed or co-directed by Stephen Spielberg or something, and I think it'll be ready at launch, which is pretty neat for Halo fans. I mean I'm not one but I could only imagine a Zelda series written with Peter Jackson or something and I'd be all over it :)

No the halo TV show is not there at launch. It will probably be mid 2014. Also the clip in the ad is specifically for Halo 5, which is also late 2014.
