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.

Ven10004817d 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.

SuperStrokey11234817d 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.

Godmars2904817d 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_Enemy4817d 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.

RankFTW4817d 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.

OGharryjoysticks4817d 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_Finger4817d ago

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

2fk4817d ago

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

OhReginald4817d ago (Edited 4817d 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.

Zinc4817d ago

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

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer2h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya22m ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde14m ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
