This Is Not A PlayStation 3 Ad, But It Should Be

Kotaku:

You are looking at the first thing that 29-year-old Ben McCambridge claims to have ever directed. Not bad for a first-timer, because this is awesome.

Ven10004815d ago

This commercial seems like the PS3 commercials of old like creepy babies, ect. This shows off nothing for the PS3. Now if he had phased in Move controllers for some of the scenes (like the kid with the Sword) and made it into a sword again then that'd be something. Or when the girl jumped over the laser beam to sneak out, at the top or bottom of the screen he should have had a few button commands pop up. Something to tie it into the PS3, not just one turning on at the end.

SuperStrokey11234815d ago

I agree... they should try to appeal to the older crowd, not teh sub 10 year olds.

i suspect a great deal of the imagry would piss off parents like the kids playing way with teh explosions.

Godmars2904815d ago

Yeah, with a bit of proper suggestive editing it could be a PS3 commercial, but as is it could be for the 360, Wii or DS.

Okay, maybe not the Wii or DS...

Pixel_Enemy4815d ago

yeah I like the Kevin Butler commercials because he is not only funny but he informs you of different aspects of what the Playstation can do.

RankFTW4815d ago

This advert is aimed at children when the average gamers is aged 25/26 and not to mention it probably brakes a bunch of rules concerning violence and what not.

OGharryjoysticks4815d ago

the beep was the eject button. Not turning on

Didn't care for it. And, I know parents would really hate it with the concept of kids fighting and somehow glorifying that in any way, shape, or form.

Burning_Finger4815d ago

No. If you take out the "kids" on the Video title that makes Playstation 360.

2fk4815d ago

that was kind of cool but yea it promotes violence to kids blah blah blah

OhReginald4815d ago (Edited 4815d ago )

Oh i see, its something kotaku wants so it can ridicule Sony's marketing again.

honestly that advertisement was crap. It has nothing to do with playstation and promotes school bullying.

Zinc4815d ago

Actually, it promoted standing up for yourself... I don't know where you got the promoting of bullying part.

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil2d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai2d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing691d 18h ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle1d 17h ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal1d 17h ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa1d 15h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 13h ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing11d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
