Since you can't compare the differences between the 360 and PS3 version (there isn't a 360 one obviously), you're only left with the option to compare different commercials of the same game. :P

I liked the USA one because it was so unique, while the UK one felt like just the same thing we've seen over and over, with a new look.

 

Well then you like the USA because you already know about the game where as I feel that the UK version is more fitting to new people and would help push consoles.

The UK ver. just shows how the real game looks like and more.  The USA ver. might just leave new people with questions. A commercial advertising a product should end with the viewers saying "I want that!" and not "What was that?" IMO

 

 

Yeah but you have to take the audience into account. Here in America we've all been trained by the Government by our videogames to be killing machines, and spartan soldiers. We'll instantly recognize what that game is about when we see it, after all we've had so many FPS games like it. :P

 

And that is my excuse!

Both were great. I'd go and hand it to the UK version just because of that "Actual gameplay footage" caption. :D



The USA one is eye catching, but overall, I'd give it to the UK, because it has Visari's voice in it...

I think I prefer the UK one just because I find not enough of the game is shown in the US one.



Am I the only one who things that Sony in the US must be in a time warp that prevents them from leaving the 1990s?

You produce one of the most expensive consoles in recent history and try to justify its cost because it is an amazingly powerful machine that can produce "Amazing" graphics in real-time, you spend tens of millions of dollars and take multiple years producing games that approach what people imagined the PS3 would be, and rather than demonstrate these (very nice) in game graphics you produce commercials which show as little in game footage as possible. To make matters worse for Sony is that (unlike the mid 1990s) we live in a society where people are constanly bombarded with high quality computer generated images, and very few people are (particularly) impressed by them any more.

I think the US one would have been better if the bullet went through the heads of those Helghast...
