Sony is actually going to market the PS4 fairly well, with no creepy babies!?

Sony to win next gen confirmed.

ABizzel13865d ago

I actually like the Potato Grillers (Potatoes, Bacon bits, Sour Cream, Nacho Cheese), so hopefully that will be in the big box, because it's the only way I'll get one. (The XXL Chalupa was also delicious, but they got rid of it. MORONS.)

UltimateMaster3865d ago

They should also market this in KFC, Subway and Wendy's.

They did Subway with Uncharted 3.

taco bell did this with the ps vita

FamilyGuy3865d ago (Edited 3865d ago )

This is pretty cool and doubt it's just a rumor, Tacobell gave out free PS Vitas around the time of it's launch. I have a friend on PSN that actually won one.

It was one of those peel sticker on a cup things. Instant prize winners. Guess I'm gonnsa have to start buying big boxes for lunch. I'd probably cry if I won one lol.

Blacktric3865d ago

Goddammit Tyrone, get it together!

Eyeco3865d ago

Some guy on youtube posted

"This commercial is genius and beautifully done. It's a play on 2001: A Space Odyssey, where the baby doll represents the star child which, in the movie, represents the future of mankind. the PS3 represents the ominous black box that you see at the end of the film. Gah! I love it."

In that sense it's a pretty amazing metaphor, it works well as a teaser, but it really wasn't to great of an advert because of how obscure the theme was.

XisThatKid3865d ago

I understand not what the b**** is all about, Taco Bell held contests and promoted Xbox brands with no problem and the Vita thing I believe was and isolated incident. One bad promo doesn't brand it for life look at Sony's bad rep a year ago or/and two. And no TB never gave me Toco squirts but I have ate some pretty disgusting things from there.

ginsunuva3865d ago

Well they did do Vita giveaways at Taco Bell too.

lilbrat233865d ago

Yes they did and they also failed on that when their system was hacked and people were told they were winners when they were not.

Godlovesgamers3865d ago

True. Craigslist is giving away PSVita's as well. You can snag one for about $120, like new, mint condition and usually with a game, memory card or both included!

Deadpoolio3865d ago

Does nobody remember that Diarrhea dog food bell did the exact same thing with the Vita and that got so screwed up there were actually lawsuits and whatnot when the employees started stealing the codes and then Dog food bell started trying to claim actual winners weren't winners

NarooN3865d ago

LOL yes. I remember that. There was a huge outrage.

Winner: Yay, I won!
Winner 2: Me too!
Taco Bell: LOL NO U

It was the most jacked-up sweepstakes ever.

AngelicIceDiamond3865d ago

Thank god no creepy babies or creepy alien looking girl.

This is a great first marketing ploy from Sony. They need to make the message clear and to the point come this holiday.

lilbrat233865d ago

I don't know I remember the Vita promotion that went ape sh*t after a few people won it and were told they didn't win.

Guwapo773865d ago

Who wants daily mudd butt at merely a chance to win a PS4? I'm good, I'll wait till Nov 15th.

FamilyGuy3865d ago

I think you read the title wrong, it doesn't say McDonald's or Chipotle.

Guwapo773865d ago (Edited 3865d ago )

Taco Bell is a no go for me bro, I get sick every time.

Lior3865d ago

What the hell is Taco Bell? In uk?

Heisenburger3865d ago

You see, after the great food wars the only chain to survive was Taco Bell.

So every restaurant, diner, so on and so forth is 'Taco Bell'.

Simon says Be Well.

Whore_Mouth3865d ago

@Heisenburger Sounds like someone doesn't know how to use the three sea shells.

XisThatKid3865d ago

You sir Heisenburger gets +1 nice! I Loled!

Rimeskeem3865d ago

Just remember people saying the xbox one will win next gen globally is saying half life 3 will be confirmed in the next year

awesomeperson3865d ago

Well, they did hire that new marketing team. May have something to do with the lack of creepy babies this generation.

Ok, this gives a new meaning to the phrase "Run for the border"

TheUndertaker853865d ago

If so hopefully it's done differently than the Vita promotion Sony did with Taco Bell. Employees screwing paying customers isn't cool.

TheUndertaker853865d ago

Taco Bell employees were taking the codes and using them, thus invalidating codes

http://kotaku.com/5884142/t...

Later they also denied prizes, even for many legit winners

http://www.gamesradar.com/t...

Deadpoolio3865d ago

Exactly why go with Diarrhea bell after that poorly handled Vita promotion. Between the employees stealing and redeeming the codes and the actual company trying to claim that winners weren't actually winners, why go through them again? That Vita promotion was a cluster

Ketzicorn3865d ago

Did Taco Bell just give you diarrhea or something? You seem very upset about something that's not that serious.

maniacmayhem3865d ago

Time to get some Gordita crunches!

Deadpoolio3865d ago

Better stop and get some anti diarrhea medicine on your way home with that grade-f dog meat from Diarrhea bell....Maybe some Pepto also their food is disgusting

Lwhit63865d ago Show
Majin-vegeta3865d ago

Oh well sux for you.They're food is awesome.

Relientk773865d ago

Omg I love their gordita crunches lol

Idba3865d ago

I bet Taco Bell will se a 50% customer increase now

T23865d ago

They need it . Arent they part of the pizza hut, kfc company ??
Hard times for them

vigilante_man3865d ago

I'm thinking of flying to the US just to eat there!!!

Double_O_Revan3865d ago

I don't think taking an expensive trip just so you can intentionally get food poisoning and diarrhea for the CHANCE of winning a PS4 is a smart move.

vigilante_man3865d ago

Ok. I just changed my mind!!

How to recruit Lam in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes

Lam is among the 120 characters available for recruitment in Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes. While she is one of the many straightforward recruits, a known bug may prevent players from recruiting her if certain conditions are met. Despite developers’ assurances of fixing the bug, some early access players still encounter issues with recruiting Lam despite attempting the standard method.

Tomb Raider Remastered just quietly censored one in-game detail

Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered players are ticked off by the game’s most recent patch, which censors in-game pin-up posters of Lara Croft.

This is why gaming is screwed. When people change things to fit someone’s agenda, it’s a slippery slope downhill.

Christopher10h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Even if that agenda is of the developer? Way to remove developer rights.

***One player called it a “huge problem with modern games,” saying they can now be “ruined AFTER people buy them”.***

The level of drama. Yes, I recall sitting there for more hours than I did anything else in the game. These two pinups are the core of the game, after all!

coolbeans8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

rlow1's cringe catastrophizing aside, I do think developers *ought* to strive to maintain an original work to the best of their ability. The language of a "remaster" tacitly implies that - for good or ill - what's being resold is what fans remember but better.

Profchaos8h ago

Games can be ruined after purchasing them yeah we know this not from this but from GTA IV which had half it's radio content patched out due to licensing expirations and to me that was a huge deal.

This pin up poster is a bit of nonsense but the whole argument of modern games can be ruined post launch is Absol true.

DedicatedDark7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

It's not their work to censor. They are incharge of restoration & remastering the work, not overwriting it.

Barlos6h ago

It's not the agenda of the developer though, they're pandering and trying to increase their ESG score.

Way to support censorship...

victorMaje6h ago

It’s not the end of the world for sure, but I understand the hate towards this kind of change. I believe it’s also a matter of principle.

Imagine a Picasso painting being restored & the restorer deciding there aren’t enough strokes, or some lines aren’t straight enough or curved enough…not sure it would/should sit well with people.

Have all original devs signed off on this change? Even if it’s the case, are we saying older gamers are better mentally equipped to process what was there than current gamers, hence the change?

Enough time ago the case was made that games are an art form. We’re supposed to have won that case.
So which is it? Are games art or not?

Hasn't this been happened for over a decade since remasters? I can't see that it's any worse now. Maybe if Sweet Baby starts getting their hands on remasters we will definitely have a problem.

Rebel_Scum9h ago

tbh I dont see something like this as censorship. Does anyone else not find it strange for someone to stick pin ups of themsleves in a locker room?

Now of it was a pin up of some half naked firefighters it might make sense as Lara might like that, and if they removed that I would cry censorship. But removing pin ups of the main character, yeah I get it.

Barlos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

It's a game, and they were placed there for the audience. It's not real life. If it was, she wouldn't have fought a T-Rex now would she?

Yes, it's censorship but it's a bit less in your face. If they were in the original game, then they should have been in the remasters. It's bad enough that they have that ridiculous unnecessary warning at the start, but then they start removing things post launch. I don't care how small the change, they shouldn't be doing it. It's nothing but ESG pandering but in a subtle way.

Rebel_Scum5h ago

Look bro, if you have pictures of yourself naked on a bear skin rug up in your house let me tell you, its not normal.

jambola4h ago

I wasn't aware censorship was based on what made sense to you

Rebel_Scum3h ago

Likewise, what a stupid comment.

jambola3h ago

I agree
Your comment was pretty stupid

Rebel_Scum3h ago

I never said censorship is based on what I say dumbass. Just because I dont see this as censorship doesnt mean I’m saying others cant.

How about you come at me with your opinion rather than snarky comments with no thought on the matter.

SimpleDad6h ago

By the year 2030, this remaster collection will totally be changed and censored. Probably will remove Lara as a playable character. It's ridiculous. Glad that my family didn't buy this.
I still have Tomb Raider 2 PS1 as a memory.

jambola4h ago

Those shorts are a little revealing
Should probably make them snow pants

Barlos3h ago

They'll probably make her trans

CobraKai5h ago

It’s mentioned in the article, and it’s a point i 100% agree with, it’s the fact that they can censor a game after you buy it. That’s total bullshit.

Killer2020UK5h ago

Whilst it's an overreaction to say this has "ruined" the game, it's still problematic that this has happened post launch and for many, post-purchase.

I don't want someone to change a product for the worse after I've bought it. The same goes for implementing micro transactions after reviews.

I wonder why they did this? Nobody was kicking up a fuss as far as I'm aware.

Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster Review – You Are Your Job, Apparently

Gary Green said: In a time where an enhanced, 3D remake of Final Fantasy III already exists, it’s hard to argue that Final Fantasy III Pixel Remaster is the definitive version we were expecting. With Final Fantasy III already being the last in the series to be translated and make its way west, this is something of a slap in the face for the fans. Still, let’s not be disheartened. There may be many shortfalls in this edition of Final Fantasy III, however there’s no denying that this classic JRPG still holds some nostalgic value, even if it struggles to break away from its original hardware limitations.

It’s funny I’m seeing these articles about pixel remaster, and I just platinumed 1-4 within 8 days lol. I’ve been on FF5 for about a week now. Let’s just say 5 was the start of FF having content like crazy. I should have the plat within 2-3 days.

MrBaskerville1h ago

The game being an accurate represantation of the original was not a slap in the face to the fans. The 3D remasters looked like ass (visually) tbh.
