WAIT IT'S MORE THAN JUST ADVERTISING ARE YOU SERIOUS
And people complain about Xbox 360 having advertisements...
Nintendo land Fanta coming to blackberry next decade.
Well, unlike on the 360, this gane here is optional
The idea of "Nintendo Land Fanta" makes me lol intensely.
Sufficiently dense quantities of idiocy can slice through my jovial demeanour like a hot knife through a sheep's eye.This is a rare sight, SmokeyDave being all defensive.
Microsoft beat both by about a year.i guess Sony beat Nintendo on going IOS with their games. Sony wins.
“The PlayStation All-Stars Island free iOS/Android app is part of a European marketing promotional program with Coke Zero and is currently only offered in select European territories. At this time, we have no plans to release this in the US.”
I can't see any reason that this would be released for Vita. I'd say it's as likely as seeing Golden Abyss on iOS.I wouldn't be shocked if this was one of Sony's Vita "surprises" at Gamescom.
It's a corporate cross-promotion using bastardized versions of the characters and rip-off gameplay with an unsuccessful branding. Not only that, it further reinforces gaming's association with unhealthy products, which I don't like for different reasons.
You can say it's good advertising, but I honestly expect that the vast majority of people who download it will be already aware of the franchises/Play Station brand in general and I'm not exactly sure this is going to sell anyone on the full versions of the character's games.
Honestly, how many people would play a free app like this, who didn't have an interest in a PS3/4/V or the games before and suddenly become interested in one based on a free Temple Run (from what I can tell) rip-off with a constantly-on screen Coke bottle? How is this not cheapening the brands?
I can't believe the diversity and ferocity of comments over what is essentially a very clever promotional campaign. Chill, this is cool.

While I'm sure most people have heard of Uncharted, the overwhelming majority of people who check this app out have -never- heard of Gravity Rush.
I think this was a good idea in theory its just the fact that the execution is so poor. This needed to either come out last year or it needed to be focused on IP that are coming some point in the near future like the PS4 launch.
some people here are just grasping for straws
I don't know. To me it just seems more like trying to sell Coke Zero to Play Station fans than it is trying to sell Play Station characters to Coke Zero fans.
This is a great moneymaking move by Sony. Angry Birds has proven that the mobile market has a great, untapped moneymaking potential. In-app micro-transactions will also increase revenue from the children lured in by the Sony software. Marketing genius!
Why? This would set an awful precedentHopefully, this gets downloaded by the millions.
This. This is the kind of shit that all investors want Nintendo to do, isn't it.
yes, and it's incredibly smart marketing. "hey, like these characters? live their full epic adventures on PlayStation 4, retailing for 399$."
Should have clarified; a lot of investors want Nintendo to go full time iOS.yes, and it's incredibly smart marketing. "hey, like these characters? live their full epic adventures on PlayStation 4, retailing for 399$."
Thank you for paying $0 for our skinned coke temple run. Now can you please pay over $500 and play something completely different and more daunting but with the same characters? Kthxbye
