Way different than I was expecting,but damn what a great commercial.

 

[etta]

Great ad!

 

[Man]

Best game specific ad I've seen since probably GTA4.

 

[Majine]

I have so many questions about that picture.

Why is Kutaragi there in person, why is Cerny in a frame? etc.

 

[Drayco21]

Playstation's had a lot of fantastic ads since the PS4 launch, and this is up near the top. Very smart marketing with this one, I'm sure it's going to be a huge payoff for them.

 

[v1lla21]

Nice. I'm pumped!

 

[ryan299]

"Not actual gameplay"

Those aren't the graphics?! Fuck this shit, I'm outta here.

I laughed at that also

 

[OneUh8]

Amazing... That bundle is going to sell bonkers.

 

[wapplew]

X Wing wait outside your office feel very titanfall robot outside your office.

 

[Falchion]

That was sweet. Really captures what makes Battlefront so much fun.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Cerny was too busy working on Crash 4: Rise of the Bandicoot to make it.

 

[John Kowalski]

not enough kissing

 

[WadiumArcadium]

This is brilliant.

 

[Dinjooh]

I can't wait for the Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 commercial with this concept.

 

[Elandyll]

Great ad imo.

Wonder if they will run it in tomorrow night's game, given that the new trailer for the movie is supposed to have its premiere then...

That would be awfully smart (but probably quite costly).

 

[dukie85]

That.
Was.
Amazing.

lol poor Cerny

 

[N.Domixis]

The chair probably killed someone, preorder canceled!

 

[Blunoise]

Just saw this on YouTube. This plus the new movie trailer tmmrw! I think I will die before I can buy Force Awaken tickets tmmrw

 

[Kane1345]

Brilliant ad. Can't wait to play

 

[zedge]

The chair probably killed someone, preorder canceled!

lmao

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

This game is going to outsell COD this year.

 

[Tatsumaki Senpuukyaku!]

They should have showed a montage of the kids playing the battle of hoth in 25 different video games over the years

 

[Trojan]

What a great ad. Got goosebumps watching it, they really knocked it out of the park.

 

[a916]

That ad was phenomenal, most impressive.

 

[GIANKRATOS]

Amazing ad.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Oh, so that's why Sony isn't worried about lack of exclusives. lol

 

[FireBeaver]

Wait, did that X-Wing just fire on those skyscrapers?

 

[BouncyFrag]

Amazing.

 

[boeso]

Huh that was pretty cool. No that was fucking awesome!!

 

[Boke1879]

Even if it wasn't for a game. That's just a great Star Wars ad in general.

 

[Obliterator]

Battlefront is gonna sell bananas

Good ad

 

[Boke1879]

These teasers for the movie have me hyped as hell. Really can't wait for the movie trailer tomorrow.

 

[GeoramA]

Love it. They should market Street Fighter V like this as well, lots of nostalgia there too.

 

[Boke1879]

They should show this in the cinema when The Force Awakens comes out. Millions of people are going to see this. The Stars Wars hype is getting big.

This has the potential to become the most successful marketing deal imo. The timing is just perfect.

They just released the official poster for the movie and few short teaser of the trailer airing tomorrow. People are literally shitting themselves right now. Releasing this ad in the middle of that alone is genius. The ad had me feeling emotional.

Fuck everything else tomorrow night. When they official movie trailer releases nothing else matters lol

 

[DeepEnigma]

Awesome ad!

Sony loves to use nostalgia in general, and it works.

That PS4 launch "ad" (it was a few minutes long) with the two friends playing each generation of Playstation was one of my favorites ever.

Agreed!

This ad screams nostalgia. Not just with the feels from the youth, but even the video game perspective as it hearkens back to the 80's/90's gaming commercials where you always "jumped in" live action.

Most impressive!

 

[JDHarbs]

Love this ad. :')

 

[New002]

I loved how real the people looked!

Spoiler

Great ad

 

[nib95]

Great ad.

 

[Wakka212]

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.

Yooo, fucking, exactly.

Thought of that exact frame in Madmen right when the ad finished.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Awesome ad!

Hell yeah, it even had a damn Placebo poster in it. For their debut album even! Which is pretty much my favorite 90s thing in the world, apart from all the gaming I managed to do.

 

[Meia]

Great ad that gets me right in the feels.

 

[fuzzyreactor]

awesome ad, too bad I already played the beta

 

[New002]

FAIL. Meant to edit my post above. Shame.

Isn't this as basically the same as a Titanfall one?

It reminded of that ad as well. They were smart to borrow that idea. Works well here for sure.

Wait, did that X-Wing just fire on those skyscrapers?

Sounds dumb, but this stood out to me @_@

 

[mreddie]

Reminds me of the Wal Mart Star Wars ads, tugging them feels.

 

[Jacksinthe]

I didn't like the beta but great fucking ad, IMO. Very well done. Will move units for sure.

 

[DISSESHOWEDO]

Cerny was too busy working on Crash 4: Rise of the Bandicoot to make it.

Blasphemy, everyone knows Cerny is working on Knack 2: The Knackening!!!

 

[tribal24]

Love it. They should market Street Fighter V like this as well, lots of nostalgia there too.

agreed with a sfV commercial in similar fashion. Definitely hits the nostalgia notes.

 

[MrDaravon]

I wasn't super thrilled with the beta, but this ad makes me want to pre-order the PS4 bundle right this second. All the feels

 

[The 8-Bit Raider]

Yes!Yes!Yes! Great ad! I don't even like Star Wars and was noved non the less.

 

[Mindwipe]

That's a damn good ad.
