This PS4 Star Wars: Battlefront Holiday 2015 Commercial Is Absolutely Epic

Sony Computer Entertainment is ready to play the Star Wars: Battlefront fanfare, and in fact the game features in the PS4’s “Holiday 2015 commercial” just released today.

[Relientk77]

Ok this is pretty badass

[Abash]

The momentum of the PS4 + the momentum of Star Wars = Explosive sales this holiday

[Relientk77]

Sony getting the Star Wars marketing deal is nothing short of great for them

[S2Killinit]

once the Star Wars movie comes out, sales will go through the roof. its shaping up to be a good holiday season already.

[nix]

The game may have shallow content for 60 dollars and of course the DLC, but this commercial is cool. Got me excited even if i know the truth.

But i wonder how can i not have a Star Wars game in my library? I bought Warhawk and totally loved it's fast paced gameplay and those large maps. But i remember not paying 60 dollars for it.

Decisions. Decisions.

[fulnattybrah]

the game sucks, i don't see it selling systems.. to depend on a multiplat game to sell systems is kinda dumb...

[boing1]

^^
Do not understimate casual market. It'll sell like hot cakes.

[JMyers]

@ fulnattybrah

Is that what MS did with the 360 last Gen? they basically invented the exclusive marketing, exclusive content and content first deals to push the 360.

[PreAtaric]

"to depend on a multiplat game to sell systems is kinda dumb…"

Spoken like someone who ignores gaming history.

[UKmilitia]

reminds me of the titanfall one on xb1

[butchertroll]

Maybe. But Titanfall doesn't have nostalgia moments, but this SW add has it and that's the goal of that add.

[Crazyglues]

The Force Is Strong With PS4...

Darth Vader PS4 Collectors edition he goes and get, does he? -yoda

Yes, yes he does.. (so excited) -Me

Uh, baby did you pay the light bill... -wife

Uh, no honey, Lord Vader ask me to get the StarWars: Collectors Edition PS4 -Me

You what? Do you want to explain to Lord Vader why you now live outside on a couch...

hmmm,. Takes collectors edition out of amazon cart -(Forgive me Lord Vader, it appears the force is much stronger here at home) -Me.

[SIX]

Agreed. The feels is strong in this one.

[XanderZane]

It was ok, but not great for me and I'll tell you why. The ad is mostly showing the guy in the office and kids dressed as Star Wars characters. Hardly any of the game is really shown. It actually made me more excited about the movie, then the game. Sony is famous for doing this. Anyone remember the "Perfect Day" commercial when "no games" were actually shown and you didn't know it was a PS4 commercial until the very end? Same stands here. You don't really know what this is until the very end. Sure, I'm sure it will help sell a few more PS4. It is Star Wars.

[miyamoto]

Do you even know to whom this ad is made for?
Clues: 1 "Expand Install Base Campaign" 2 it's definitely not for you

[XanderZane]

@miyamoto
I have SW: Battlefront preordered, so yes this video would be for me as well. I'm also very interested in the film. I think your comments were not for me. The commercial wasn't great. More gameplay, more info about the game would have been nice.

[Davi123]

Ugh! If you are a XBot, it doesn't matter if you like StarWars or if your favorite idol appears on a PS ad. You are a XBot, even your brain isn't capable of understanding my point.

[windblowsagain]

That was pure quality!!

[TheGreatGamer]

Epic I agree but I am left confused. Is there going to be another holiday trailer with exclusives like Uncharted or is SW:BF (a multiplat)the only game they're advertising this holiday?

[Abriael]

Uncharted won't be released in the holidays, so.

[TheGreatGamer]

Just can't help but feel as a 'holiday 2015' trailer it looks very bare with 1 game shown which is a multiplat but that aside it is a very cool trailer

[OB1Biker]

It s just what its says it is.. a PS4 StarWars Battlefront holiday commercial.
That doesnt mean its the only game available, does it?
Like people were already nit picking about the previous one with Drake collection, Ass Creed and BlOPs. Just enjoy this one awesome commercial (not often I really like commercials) like you would if it was another great commercial about one other game.. ;)

[Thatguy-310]

Might be multiplatform but you better believe it will sell consoles regardless. Sony is in the lead so they know what they're doing.

[Eonjay]

Abriael is right Uncharted was a part of their fall sizzle ad:

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

There are you happy. Uncharted is in there. I know how much you wanted to see Uncharted.

[Sparta07]

What about all those years when all Microsoft had was cod, didn't hear you complain then. Plus we had Exclusive for the past 9 months... Now you wanna brag that you guys are getting a few exclusives this holidays and no big exclusive since last year.

[DigitalRaptor]

That's a very weak assumption to make based on one trailer.

Sony can market the games releasing on their platform during the holidays however they want to ensure financial success, as long as they release games during the 12 months of the year, which they do - and treat the rest of the months as though they matter, which they do. See.... the importance of the holiday season rests firmly the shoulders of those working in the financial departments of these companies. These are the people who push its importance. Microsoft has exploited that focus, tying it in with the seasonal Christmas buzz and brainwashing their fans into thinking 3 months of games matters more than a lineup over 12 months.

Why are you questioning Sony's push in the holidays, but not questioning Microsoft's push for the entirety of this year? They didn't bother with a AAA retail exclusive for about 10 months, since Master Chief Collection, which was a remaster. Why not call that "very bare"? Yours doesn't seem like a very genuine concern when you consider that.

[Kavorklestein]

Brainwashed? Really...?
Nobody said 3 months > 12 months or Anything even close to that...
Nobody should even care too much tbh..
Games are coming out constantly for both systems.

Keep calm and game on everyone.
Good games aplenty this fall and holiday season.

[Christopher]

Sony paid to handle advertising of this specific game. Regardless of any other advertising, they better deliver on advertising it as per their agreement.

[raptorjacob]

I just saw a commercial for the uncharted collection. Does before Halloween count as holiday marketing?

[KwietStorm_BLM]

It only feels "bare" to internet goblins who troll all day about EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE EXCLUSIVE. Gamers who just game, and don't spend their lives bickering on message boards about what's not available on X platform. They just buy games and play them. Nobody in their god given right mind can honestly say that exclusive marketing rights for Star Wars is not a big deal, especially given the ridiculous momentum PS4 already has. Sony has all these 3rd party games doing the heavy lifting for them before they even have half of their first party studios showcase anything. Not a word was said when Microsoft made a career of it last generation, but now because they have the BEST LINEUP IN XBOX HISTORY, we're regurgitating the PS4 has no games crap. It is so, damn, tired.

[343_Guilty_Spark]

Don't forget Sony fans buy and play every exclusive and multi platform game on the day of release. They usually complete their new purchases within 2-3 days so you can't really blame them for not liking how Microsoft concentrates its exclusives during the biggest months of the year for video games. PS4 gamers have an unique challenges thirst to buy every new game and complete it immediately.

[PreAtaric]

You're confused about why an ad for a particular game doesn't show more games?

No you're not.

[JMaine518]

The force is strong with this one!!!

[majdees]

The joke is old with this one!!!

[JMaine518]

The saltiness is strong with this one.

[d_g]

it’s kinda funny how they wrote "not actual gameplay"....i wonder if there is some people think this is actual gameplay

on topic

Good Commercial. i just hope this game will turns out good

[HammadTheBeast]

It's to prevent the people who would throw out a lawsuit to make a quick buck off of something like misleading advertising.

[badz149]

At least they are honest! I might be wrong on this but Halo has always use this kind of commercial with real people mixed in the game universe but ai don't see them saying "not actual gameplay" there, right?

[KwietStorm_BLM]

It should be pretty obvious some people would think it's real gameplay. Casuals outnumber the hardcore at any given time. That's the whole reason why the same people think certain games are only available on the system they see them advertised for.

[Masterofwiiu3ds]

Why not just show the actual gameplay? The game looks incredible as it is, and trailers and commercials that don't contain actual gameplay honestly don't help anyone.

[Nodoze]

Should read, not even close to gameplay.

Still a very cool commercial that brings back more than a few memories.

[scark92]

I guess.. He did not collect the X Wing Pick Up..

[corroios]

Damn, this game is gonna sell like crazy. It will be one of the biggest seller of the year.

[boing1]

No idea who could disagree with you. No matter the game's content, it's friggin' Star Wars!!

[pyroxxx]

Because Star Wars is nothing compared to COD or GTA in terms of gaming,..
I am sure it will sell insanely in US (as will the green tin man with a pink prickle gun),..Great for PlayStation. People overestimate Star Wars's appeal abroad as do people with Halo,..

Maybe simply because of the movie,.. it will get bigger than it really is

[PreAtaric]

"People overestimate Star Wars's appeal abroad"

This has to be sarcasm.

[Chaosdreams]

What's that like, 100 people on the battlefield? Sorry, battlefront.

False marketing *crosses arms.*

Cute commercial though, I'm surprised they didn't package it into the Deluxe edition.

[SavageFlamingo]

Really? People are arguing over a commercial?

[Masterofwiiu3ds]

N4G

[lastking95]

For the sake of gaming please god don't let this game create a trend of campaign cutting, bare bones mp with everything locked behind a paywall. I don't mean to sound like a troll but this game is a rip off to the consumer and I don't want other popular franchises to follow suit. (CoD is already headed down that path)

[Baltimoron27]

I was with you until the CoD comment. CoD seems to be the only game that isn't taking features out that are expected to be in there. Rainbow 6: No campaign
Halo 5: No split-screen
Battlefront: No Campaign

[KwietStorm_BLM]

This game? THIS game? Rainbow freaking Six doesn't have a campaign. This whole industry is falling aprt before all of us.

[lastking95]

I know that gamers are getting f***** man.

Don't be surprised when CoD removes campaign I already see it coming in the future.

[Kribwalker]

@lastking

They already have on the 360/PS3 version of BO3

[Orionsangel]

That hit me right in the feels.

[psforward]

I'm squarely in their target demographic,damn you nostalgia!

[PizzaSteve]

When I seen it on TV I was like, "What a bunch of fake BS" lol. It is a nice commercial but the game doesn't look that massive and intense on the battlefield.

[Baltimoron27]

Thats why it said "Not actual gameplay".

[AstroCyborg]

looking forward to picking this multiplat up on the xb1

[Dirtnapstor]

Man, that was cool! Still trying to decide whether or not to hold out until Christmas. Every time I see something like this I reconsider.

Off topic... seeing those kiddos roleplay made me reminisce. Tell you what, I can't think of any movie nowadays that can capture an imagination like the originals did. We roleplayed for years. Heroes. Don't see that happening now at all with anything...maybe something new will rekindle come this December.

[masterfox]

I wonder when on this decades will be able to hear some new epic themes like StarWars, Superman(80s), Back to The future, Batman(Michael Keaton Batman) just to name a few, todays movie music themes freaking sucks!

[AutoCad]

Ehh iill pick this up on xbox when its 30 bucks or free on ea access..but pretty dope trailer i must say.

[XeyedGamer]

Butterflies are in my tummy.

[ZeekQuattro]

Was going to hold off on this game but thanks to the Amazon gift card I got from Verizon I will be getting the game day one. Can't turn down a deep discount. Even if I'm ultimately disappointed with the game I know I only paid $10 for it. Sounds like a win to me.

[LifeInNZ]

Could not care less. Multiplayer only games with a gimped lobby system should be boycott. So sick of games where you're placed in a random match, discover the game you've joined is a lost cause; quitting; join another match just to be placed right back in the game you quit.

I wish more reviews would rate multiplayer only games more harshly if the lobby is gimped, lack clan support, etc. Multiplayer games should excel in all aspects of the multiplayer experience.

[Perjoss]

Maybe people just want to log on and shoot stuff instead of faffing around.

[LifeInNZ]

That's fair enough. But why not cater to both. Quick Search for casual gamers and a more mature lobby, like in other Dice games, for everyone else.

[Tedakin]

Can't wait to get half of the game for 60 bucks next month, with the other half coming later for another 50!

I truly am excited for it... but seriously that's cray.

[esmittystud101]

Alot of hype for this game. They promoted it very well. But it's Treyarch's year this year. Black Ops 3 zombies plus co op single player. Battlefront looks like it would be fun for about a month, after that I'm not too sure. It really depends on there DLC they add in as well later. I had Battlefront 3 and 4 skipped on Hardline. I just think, for me its Black Ops 3 mainly. If it wasn't for it I would probably pick up Battlefront. Now if Infinity Ward was making COD this year, I would have already pre ordered Battlefront and the season pass and paid for it all in full. It would have been a big deal for me then. But we only see Treyarch once every three years now.

[DeadManMMX]

Ah nvm just saw why there was two lol. My bad.

[WDBII]

lack of exclusives.. that's all this shows me.. sick commercial though and this game's mp is freakin awesome.. I was putting down quite a few people... it's more focused on positioning and aim quality. if you can't do either then it's a wrap for you.

[SegaGamer]

Oh look, another live action ad for a video game. How about just showing the actual game ?

[BIGBOSS08]

sony really rubbing it into microsofts faces now. exclusive marketing for star wars and call of duty, price drop and still 2 more press conferences this year. the only real firepower microsoft have is halo 5. it'll definately sell some consoles but wont be enough to get anywhere near playstation.

[Crashbandicoot77]

This will be my FPS of the year!

[coolvibu93]

That's a great commercial, almost makes me want Battlefront. Almost.
