Sony Tease Video "The Arrival"

Sony has released a second mysterious video following the one shared a few days ago, known as "The Reload".

FunAndGun4195d ago

OK, these definitely have to do with Battle Royale.

First one features Cole from inFAMOUS and this one features Drake from Uncharted.

Would be cool if there were some live action fight sequences in the full commercial instead of everyone just standing around...not that the first Michael commercial was bad or anything.

Someone needs to decipher the message on the typewriter!!!

-Alpha4195d ago (Edited 4195d ago )

Typewriter:

"DEAR COPERNICUS (That's Captain Qwark from R&C) WE HAVE RECEIVED YOUR LETTER AND REGRET TO INFORM YOU CAPTAIN"

Also, the first teaser had DMC and Ape Escape references. This one references Uncharted, and R&C so far.

Has to be for All Stars. They can both advertise Michael 2 (PS3 commercial) and the commercial for All Stars at the same time. This game needs to have a strong advertising campaign as it is Sony's biggest title for this Christmas, and a damn good one at that

Hold on a second. How do you guys know what the typewriter has written on it? It's just a bunch of symbols. How do you know what they mean? Is it some type of real language?

FunAndGun4195d ago

Damn Alpha, you are on top of things!!

NICE!

"TimeEffect and Skidd of Neogaf, have confirmed that the text on the typewriter is actually the Lombax language from Ratchet and Clank, not Jak and Daxter. They also have a full translation of what was shown"

it reads “Dear Copernicus, (Copernicus L. Qwark?)
We have received your letter and regret to inform you captai-"

"And it’s Captain Qwark’s rejection letter from the roster! How attentive of Superbot! Thanks to the guys at Neogaf for the translation!"

-Alpha4195d ago (Edited 4195d ago )

^ It's Lombax font from Ratchet and Clank

And the font in the license plate is from Jak and Daxter

The letter is a rejection notice to Qwark lol.

gaffyh4195d ago

Yep, has to be for All-Stars

Blastoise4195d ago

Nice work -Alpha. Intelligent Bubble for ya.

I think it is All-stars, I'm looking forward to more ads. Maybe each character will appear and check in with the receptionist lol.

All-stars Beta is a blast by the way

Blastoise4195d ago

Also, check out the reflection on the car at about 19 seconds in. If you pause at the right time you can see the guys got a shotgun. Gotta be Drake :)

360ICE4195d ago (Edited 4195d ago )

The number plate on the car reads "MORGAN!" in precursor writing (Jak & Daxter). Little idea who Morgan would be.

Ah, it's one of Naughty Dog's old dogs.

mt4195d ago

alpha I wish there is geek bubble, I would so give that to you, but there is less than that there is intelligent bubble

Yes the type writer! As soon as I saw that I searched to see if it had been decoded yet. Couldnt find anything but this is Defiantly PSASBR. Hope there is a live action fight club video.

Amplitude4195d ago

If you look at the yellow text on the girl's nametag on the desk (actually, it's in the thumbnail) it says Saru Get You, which is the name of the Ape Escape TV show in Japan >.>

GraveLord4195d ago

Live action fight sequences? yeah....no. That would be really lame.

Mykky4195d ago

First one features cole from inFAMOUS, "Sara! Get You!" From Ape Escape and the gun from MGS Zeroes trailer.
Second one features the "Dear Copernicus" thing which is Captain Quark from Ratchet and Clank. Symbol from Uncharted and the sign of the back of the car which is from Jak and Dexter.

This means Snake from Ground Zeroes, Ratchet and Clank, and Ape Escape is confirmed for All Stars Battle Royale.

Ace_Pheonix4195d ago

It's a Scorpion. I don't see how it being in Ground Zeroes is all that significant for this trailer. They are a very common submachine gun. Beyond everything I could want for in All Stars is for Big Boss to be the end boss, and be playable after beating him, but I really feel like having a Scorpion in a trailer is really grasping at straws. And we aren't even 100% sure these teasers will even relate to All Stars. Michael didn't promote any one game.

gintoki7774194d ago

the setting looks similar to mgs4 European level where you sneak through the city.

RmanX10004195d ago

Im pretty sure this is related to Battle Royale... Other than that im stumped...

Relientk774195d ago (Edited 4195d ago )

Ok this has to be PS All-Stars related,

we got font from Ratchet & Clank on the type writer

and then if you pause at 0:13 and then 0:18, 0:19 slowly, you can see jeans, a belt, his white shirt, his brown overshirt, gun holster, and his dark hair, this is clearly Nathan Drake (look at the Uncharted 2 box art).

LarVanian4195d ago

If you pause at 0:10 you can see that the license plate has the symbols of a precursor orb from Jak & Daxter. Nice little detail.

-Alpha4195d ago (Edited 4195d ago )

It says MORGAN in Precursor language:

Morgan: http://jakanddaxter.wikia.c...

Relientk774195d ago (Edited 4195d ago )

Nice Alpha you are all over this

edit @ below: yea, Alpha definitely agree, I love these viral videos as advertising, very clever and awesome videos, very well put together.

-Alpha4195d ago (Edited 4195d ago )

^ I got the Morgan story from GAF, but I'm the one who translated the R&C one on there ;)

This viral advertising is so great, Michael has 11 Million views, and as a PlayStation fan, it's such great fan service, but even regular fans love Long. Live. Play. Let's hope Sony cranks this up for Christmas

Adva4195d ago

IS this POSSIBLY going to reveal the final boss? All characters are coming back to the tavern to face off against him/her?

Knight_Crawler4195d ago

Would be awesome if the final boss is a red ringed 360 :)

Tomonobu Itagaki4195d ago

It would be fun if Microsoft agreed to let one of their characters as the final boss for Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, like Master Chief or Marcus Fenix.

It's very unlikely, but it would be a nice move.

He did a track guide for Neurnberg 24 in GTsport.

We have had no more content since then, maybe a few time trail modes, I believe there was one from Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstapen as well, due to the red bull partnership.

Back to Lewis, He STILL wears the Gran Turismo logo on his caps, every weekend Formula One races take place.

I was expcting more from this sponsorship, oh well. This video, is kinda rubbing salt into the wound, for me

That Driver tutorial still haunts my dreams. That parking lot saw me fail a thousand times

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake3d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX2d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer3d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils3d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg3d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything
