$399 PS3: Third-party TV spots - include MGS4 and Haze footages

Two TV spots in the USA for the $399 PS3 and its third-party titles:

• TV spot no. 1 includes: Burnout Paradise, Time Crisis 4, Madden NFL 08, and Metal Gear Solid 4.

• TV spot no. 2 includes: Metal Gear Solid 4, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008, Assassin's Creed, and Haze.

I think it is a little unfair that they use MGS4 in those adds. Game will be released in Q208(if it doesn't get delayed all the way to Q408).

[Jamaicangmr]

I genuinely can't tell if you're really serious, i honestly hope your jokin though.

[AznSniper]

Japan has Final Fantasy XIII TV spots so I don't know what you are talking about.

[dhammalama]

Damn those cheating bastards! Making a trailer and showing it before summer 2008!

[Foliage]

I think I was watching Halo 3 ads when production had not started for the game. Untwist your panties.

[Lifendz]

It's not unfair at all. They clearly say "coming soon." As in COMING SOON. Not out next week! Unfair to advertise games that are coming to the system early next year? You make me laugh. People still get to choose what they want. I think you're just scared that most people, given a choice, will opt for MGS4 instead of the overhyped Mass Effect and the Halo 2.5, ahem, I mean Halo 3.

[kss]

commercial is cool, music sucks...

[Beren]

You guys never have something good to say about the PS3? come on stop the hate please :/

[Jamaicangmr]

Exactly and it's gettin rediculous to be honest.

[Naruto]

PS3 is so Awesome

[Counter_ACT]

None of that MGS4 footage was new...

[Jamaicangmr]

Yes that true but did that make it any less effective?

[wind_dragon]

it was very effctive and made me want to buy a 2nd PS3 because i honestly can't wait for MGS4....Bubble 4 u.

[Douchebaggery]

Is it really necessary to have a news post for every new ad, I can understand the first one it was like spotting a big foot but now we get it Sony is advertising the PS3.

[TheExecutive]

whats the harm in doing so? Not like its taking away from more important news about gaming at 6:30 on a Sunday morning...

[Maldread]

It`s way better that the "This is living" crap we have in Europe, even though that has started to get better too, since they show off Ratchet, Heavenly Sword and Uncharted in the commercials here in Norway now, which is good and smart.

Glad to them having some ads which show of the third party stuff too. I think they could have had a better song with it though, as kss said, but that`s just me being picky. I have to say Counter ACT is right too, as i can`t see anything new from Metal Gear here, even though it looks great as always.

[whoelse]

This has been on the PS blog for a few days now.

[scrillakiller]

i think its great that they show mgs4 in this lets u know hey this is ps3 exclusive u want to play get a ps3 yeah baby gotta love.ps3 is da best

[lawman1108]

Because thats as soon as your going to see MGS4 on ANY system. Yes, I mean the 360 also (can't fight those 40 to 1 software figures the 360 has over the PS3)

EDIT To douche #1 and #2 below I DO own a 60 gb PS3 (best dust collector I ever had) and you will see...NOBODY has stated that MGS4 is ONLY on the PS3 NOBODY. 40 to 1 in game sales 360 vs the PS3 NO company is missing out on that cash.

[Sevir04]

I knew that even though the commercial clearly states a PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive for both haze and MGS4 and Kaz and Phil, and Peter dille and Hideo san saying it for the 12th billion time and now this commercial confirming yet again that this is staying an exclusive, Some desperate xbox fankid would be ignorant enough to say it... yeah we know law man that you want this badly for your 360 but the point of the matter is.... never mind you'd never geet it even if GOD himself came down from heaven and slapped it onto your face in big bold brands. you would still say it... and the wait thing... yep the PS3 will wait till early quarter 2 of 08... xbox will wait till hell freezes over which will be forever.... and that's along time.

[cr33ping_death]

damn lawman ignorance must be bliss to you buddy. how does it feel to know you will have to buy a PS3 to play MGS4?

[Salvadore]

Looks like Sony are going all out this Christmas.

[Jamaicangmr]

Really glad to see Sony charging hard into the holiday season show third party the love they deserve. Great Add not my type of music but the visuals coupled with the music really does get one pumped. Great Job...

[Antiomo]

But there is one thing I dont like is the color palette they use.
Brownish look, quakish style look.

No game comes close to this style of gameplay..

[Fighter]

I'm glad they are promoting 3rd party games even if some of the games (Madden08, assassins) look better on the 360 but not by a huge margin. The showing of MGS4 and Burnout will definitely turn some heads. Let's just pray that Haze is not going to be sh!t. It could be the surprise of 2007.

[Yoma]

The second one are cool :)

[lawman1108]

Good news is plenty of PS3's will be around. If anybody buys them is another story.

[mustash2003]

where have u been the last few months???? ps3 sales have picked up. Especially here in europe (not that they were low in the first place).

[mistertwoturbo]

an Ad with old footage that millions of average consumers have never seen? Looks new to them. Keep in mind, only fanboys go on n4g and rave about MGS4 going to the 360.

Keep getting your hopes up. It's not going to happen.

[[email protected]]

Like the second one... The HaZe footage was awesome especially on the end.

[Skerj]

About time!! I'm still irritated over them not advertising Folklore and I haven't seen a dedicated Uncharted commercial yet either. Step it up Sony damn.

[Sevir04]

for when the game officially launches. even though i've had the game for 1 day now. yeah gamestops and EB games have broken the street date. but the game hit's toys r us and other big retailers on the 19th so yeah they have these and all the other ones hitting as well. i even heard namco has one for time crisis 4 and shows more footage. airing on the same day.

[Laexerias]

Uncharted is in the first Commercial with GT5, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk etc lol

[xionpunk]

I love those commercials, despite that $hitty excuse for music. In my head i replace that song with some Nirvana.

[Elginer]

with these new commercials, showing that there are some quality games on the PS3. Only problem is that most of those 3rd party games run better on the 360; but most people don't know that so it doesn't really matter. Good commercials and a step forward for the PS3.

[bluecapone]

sony is pushing forward in the right direction with these Ads thats for sure

[Guitarded]

A lot of the games they show won't be out for six months or more, and no mention of that in those comercials. More Sony smoke and mirrors.

[Dante8205]

jackass

[vloeistof]

mmm did ms not start making a ad for halo 3 on Monday Night Football on December 4, 2006.

[Douchebaggery]

Maybe if there was footage from Gears of War

[Mu5afir]

Learn to read, please for the love of god learn to read. The info is on the videos.. look learn to look for the love of god. Take off your Xbot glasses and learn to look. ;)

[Dante8205]

those assassin's creed gameplay videos were 100% xbox 360 gameplay videos..and thats sad

[Douchebaggery]

what do you base that statement on?

[Primetimebt]

I just double check the footage again and it's the PS3 verison. Notice the the background details :-)

[sheng long]

Dante8205: not sure if you're being sarcastic, but AC looks good on ps3.
just because gametrailers was using a 1975 tv when comparing to the 360 doesn't mean we all have crappy tv sets hooked up to our ps3.

[zsscommand]

These are great commercials, an awesome graphic and cool games to boot!

[Mu5afir]

Sony getting the wheel rolling with some ads that make sense.

[unlimited]

awesome they need to get it so people know these games is coming out and only for the ps3..christmas will be big for sony hopefully...keep up the great work and concentrate on bringing out the games and hanging on to exclusive games.

[peksi]

2 words: serious sh1t

[wangdiddy82]

didnt air that massive attack trailer for uncharted..

I dont think ive seen one uncharted tv spot yet.. they need to blow this game up on tv.. Has anyone seen a ad for this game

[poeo]

i agree totally, sony really needs to put that massive attack trailer on air. it's just AWESOME and made me really want that game.

[n00dl3s]

I completely agree with you. These are great commercials, but they need to shine some focus on that game. It has epic visuals and will probably be one of the best adventure games of the year. Aside from the male main character, I think i'll like it more than Tomb Raider.

[HarryEtTubMan]

I WANT A PS3 NOW

[PStriple703]

I like!

[Baddo_Ekkusuchi]

haze another damn fine ps3 exclusive!!!!
