The Naughty Dogs take U2 advertising to Europe, first stop UK

Gamesthirst writes: Sony Computer Entertainment know when they have a winner on their hands, and will stop at nothing to let the world know about it. In recent days, the Naughty Dog team took to the road and rallied across the states promoting their upcoming game Uncharted 2: Among Thieves. The tour, a collaboration with Best Buy was dubbed "The Best Buy Holiday Entertainment Kick-off." But the advertising didn't stop there, apparently the United States was just the beginning.

all those awards
and its not even out

@eagle- Thats a tough call. If I recall IGN gave Fallout 3 GOTY even when GTA4 AND MGS4 got HIGHER SCORES. Id wait ta see what happens later on in the year cause I hear that Mass Effect 2 will be making an appearance in 2009.

Also, Id play the game first before jumping to GOTY. Many critics will deem it GOTY but it may not be YOUR or MY GOTY. Example: GTA4 got TENS across the board and recieved GOTY from most critics, yet many hardcore gamers thought it was crap after buying it.

LittleBigPlanet won AIAS GOTY. :)

jjohan355316d ago

I'm glad. Sony really needs to boost their marketing and it seems like they're starting to get the ball rolling in that department.

"@deadreckoning...The AIAS is the official industry GOTY award. :)
LittleBigPlanet won AIAS GOTY. :)"

Ummm...says who?? Ur saying that AIAS's opinion, is "better" than IGN, Gamespot, 1up, Gametrailers, Destructoid, Gamespy, Gamesradar? Or are u mentioning it because it gave it a PS3 exclusive GOTY? How do u have the ignorance to say that ONE opinion is better than all the rest?

If AIAS is ultimately "all that matters" why did you mention all those other critics in your first post? Ur contradicting yourself...

cemelc5316d ago

Cos is added bonus to the real game of the year award???

eagle215316d ago

And if you think you can dispute the AIAS, you are sad. DEVELOPERS and the top industry professionals comprise the AIAS. Educate yourself:

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 20h 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 19h 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 19h ago

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

DaReapa1d 17h ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal1d 15h 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 18h ago (Edited 1d 18h 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.
