Red 5 standing by Amazing ad, tugged on the strings of childhood memories and imagination just like the beta did for me. Can't wait to play the full game.

 

[a916]

I'm outting myself here for my lack of knowledge... what's the song that's playing? It's not Throne Room is it?

Edit: It is isn't it.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

My childhood flashed before my eyes.... wow.

 

[shinobi602]

This is why Sony doesn't need any exclusives this holiday lol.

 

[Balmung421]

Damn good ad

 

[Mass Effect]

Right in the nostalgia. This commercial will be extremely effective.

Impressive. Most impressive.

There will be no-one to stop them this time.

 

[Pixels]

O.M.G.

Best gaming ad in a long time!

 

[Ricerocket]

My first thought was that this was an homage to the Titanfall ad, so I wouldn't say that it clearly wasn't.

Your first thought was Titanfall when a guy is remembering about his past times with star wars and his childhood friend? I don't even see how.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

One of the best ads in a while!

 

[Interfectum]

That controller

 

[PeskyToaster]

Some of the Star Wars commercials have been fairly good at getting you in the 'feels' mood. It's pretty effective.

Target

Walmart

Can't beat nostalgia in marketing.

That target one was pretty good. I had a blast getting star wars toys is a kid.



I still buy them sometimes.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

I wanted to see the movie on opening night in San Francisco but my wife said that will be impossible lol. My hype for the movie and the game is threw the roof.

 

[Madness]

Just saw the commercial. Fucking amazing! That's how you market Battlefront.

 

[Storm Raider]

One of the best ads I've ever seen!

 

[Drac84]

God, that music gave me chills. Amazing ad.

 

[Boogalogist]

I'm outting myself here for my lack of knowledge... what's the song that's playing? It's not Throne Room is it?

Edit: It is isn't it.

Yes, it's the Throne Room music. It holds a special place in my heart.... I used it at my wedding.

I preordered the Star Wars DS4 as I already have a PS4.

 

[Ultralow]

Hotness right here........

 

[sjay1994]

Damn, that was a great ad

Pretty awesome.

2015 - Everything was Star Wars.

Greatness awaits.

 

[Plague Doctor]

Woah. They'll make enough to rebuild that Deathstar this holiday season.

 

[mosdl]

Woah. They'll make enough to rebuild that Deathstar this holiday season.

Death Star Constructor Simulator 2016

 

[SoundPulse]

I'm outting myself here for my lack of knowledge... what's the song that's playing? It's not Throne Room is it?

Edit: It is isn't it.

Leia's theme, then Throne Room, yeah.

 

[DrZeus]

Day 1 my friends.

 

[watership]

That is a fantastic ad. Wish it was coming to other platforms.

 

[D1renegade]

Ok ad. Would have been better with actual gameplay tho..

 

[Jeels]

Wow...great ad.

Sony knows how it wants to make its money...

 

[darkwing]

sales records awaits

 

[Troy]

Your first thought was Titanfall when a guy is remembering about his past times with star wars and his childhood friend? I don't even see how.

No, my first thought when seeing a modern day schlub sitting in a giant machine was that it resembled the same scene in the Titanfall ad.

 

[M.W.]

Ad did nothing for me.

Then again I thought the beta was awful.

 

[Loudninja]

Great ad.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

That was awesome haha.

 

[timlot]

That is a fantastic ad. Wish it was coming to other platforms.

I'm learning Sony marketing is just as good as exclusive around here. Can't wait for that COD BO3 exclusive ad, should be epic.

 

[neogaffer1]

interesting that they cover star wars of all ages but forgot to mention the prequels for some reason.

great ad nonetheless.

 

[Sez]

Forget about Battlefront and Playstation, this is an awesome Star Wars clip, with a lot of the original trilogy nostalgia. That "Throne Room" song... Any adult who loves Star Wars is going to love the ad.

 

[viHuGi]

Sony has this holiday and gen on the pack.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

A modified version just aired on SNF.

 

[chadskin]

A modified version just aired on SNF.

Yeah, was about to post this. It was a 30 second version or so, apparently. SNF slots must be expensive.

 

[crazyprac]

It's on in every commercial break... Going to do gangbusters

 

[GribbleGrunger]

A modified version just aired on SNF.

How was it modified?

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

A modified version just aired on SNF.

Did it have the same power as the full one?

Also, what's SNF?

 

[Loudninja]

I posted the other ad last week

[Captain Zyrain]

Did it have the same power as the full one?

Also, what's SNF?

Not as powerful.. but still good

 

[DriftingSpirit]

How was it modified?

They cut out the parts when they were trick or treating and they didn't show the limited edition PS4 Star Wars bundle at the end.

 

[GearDraxon]

Also, what's SNF?

Saturday Night Fever. It's pretty big these days.

Spoiler

Ok, fine. Sunday Night Football.

Also, this ad is great. I'm a bit surprised there isn't more gameplay footage - this is one of those games that screams "look what games look like now!" especially since the places depicted are so familiar.

 

[Sum-Mischief]

Well Done Sony . Well done !

 

[DriftingSpirit]

Did it have the same power as the full one?

Also, what's SNF?

Well, that not good.

 

[HvySky]

Pretty awesome ad. Not sure if I'll be picking this one up day one, but with Star Wars' insane marketability and Disney's money behind it, I can see this selling insanely well.

 

[3rdamention]

Just showed it on Sunday Night Football, it's a great commercial...



Just tugs at the nostalgia, very smart ad..
