just seen this japanese r2 commercial lol it's funny with the man in a rubber chimera suite lol
they need ads lik 360 and wii. The new 360 ones here in Aus say that there is over 500 games and that they have the highest rated games according to metacritic and then says what the new price is.
While the wii has a bunch of people or celebs having fun with the games and thats what games are all about fun.
Although Sony's ads for LBP are quite good.
They should do what Ninty did to get stupid amount of sales. make PS3 accessible to the non gamer market as a easy to use, friendly console (casual games machine).
They should have an advert with a bunch of girls playing Singstar or a husband on his honeymoon but away on business sending a video of their first long song through singstar thingy.
For buzz they could show a family during xmas watching a game show, sitting looking bored and then show another family next door shouting and cheering playing buzz at home.
LBP - they could show a geek playing some video game and next door show a cooler kid making a video game.
Motorstorm - they can show a racing game being played traditionally and then they could show someone playing the game using the Sixaxis as a steering wheel.
These type of adverts would bring in a lot of casual gamers or non gamers who find gaming to be complex. This is what made the Wii attractive and it is something even Sony could do with the IP's they have and hardware.
It's a shame Sony aren't the genius i am :p

Hey they are good ideas don't be surprised if sony ring you and offer u a job in there marketing area lol better then any of the ads they have made so far.
I think Sony forget, they are not making a film to win at the next oscars, but an advert to sell consoles :s
Anyway, I am hungry now. Any suggestions for food? I have local to me:
Tinsletown, Nando's, Mc D's, Mc D's rip off called Mc Indians with nicer burgers and Donner :p, rip off KFC called Maryland but it is in fact tastier, ermm got a subway, Sumthing called Mirch Masala which is a veg takeaway restaurant, got Pizza Express, Pizza Hut, Bella Pasta, Bombay Bites (sells curries and stuff but in a Chinese take away box like you see in the movies with shredded bar b q lamb pieces and chicken tikka etc) or I could go to the bakeries and snack shops and get a sandwidge 9I know i spellt it wrong but i prefer to spell it this way :D)
@ legend - thank you
@ kowenicki - i meant to say a cool geek, but my fingers weren't as quick as me brains processing power lol I have a similar problem to the PS3, my Cell processor works quicker then my RAM lol My developer hasn't released a patch for the problem yet and I have no 3rd party support or very little :p
| kowenicki said: too detached and arty again... what they need to do is get back to basics ads that tell you what a PS3 can do other than gaming and ads that show the exclusive games you can play on the PS3 along with the big selling multiplats. |
My friend, I can see you did not studied marketing....
I live in Leicester and guess what? I run a Independent Film Production Company and I am also working on setting up a Music Production Studio :p
However, I dream off having enough money in the future to set up my own game development studio :)
