:lol i'm just pointed out how absurd you and others are for acting like there's no association between the song and LBP to many people on this forum, which is plainly obvious to anybody who isn't a hardcore 360 fanboy. you've definitely got problems -- my "huge issue with this" amounted to me saying "does seem weird watching that."godhandiscen said:I don't even know why this thread was necessary.

You expect too much of GAF. Thread creators should know better that this is another system warz forum.Narag said:Well, an interesting discussion on first exposure of specific music through unrelated media would be neat, but this was framed poorly and attracted the usual suspects.
Dude, you act as if LBP was a popular game. I am saying that there must be an association to certain gamers, but this is a TV commercial. 99% of people who will see this commercial have made no such association. Also, I think that a 360 fanboy most likely would know about LBP since they waste time in knowing their enemy for their stupid console wars. I personally didn't even know that LBP used this song.dfyb said::lol i'm just pointed out how absurd you and others are for acting like there's no association between the song and LBP, which is plainly obvious to anybody who isn't a hardcore 360 fanboy. you've definitely got problems -- my "huge issue with this" amounted to me saying "does seem weird watching that."

Some of the comments in this thread are pretty embarrassing, as well. Really people, arguing over a song? Really? :lolBobFromPikeCreek said:Oh god. The comments on that video. Gamers are so embarrassing.
stupei said:Assuming that it is a deliberate move, what do you assume they are attempting to achieve by it? Are they trying to trick the massive crowd of casual and uninformed LBP fans into thinking it has something to do with Xbox Live? Or... what exactly? Just to piss off people on the internet? What?

Massive connection.
Raist said:I mean, who honestly knew that song before LBP was revealed? Because it was like THE song associated to LBP (they used it in the GDC trailer when they revealed the game, and in numerous trailers since then, maybe even ads).
I don't think there's any connection with the song Mad World or Gears of War, no.dfyb said:"Mad World" was released in 1982.
"Mad World" was covered by Gary Jules in 2001.
"Gears of War" was released in 2006
so, according to you, there's no connection with that song/game, either?
So you are saying that 99% of people don't know, or care, but you are 100% sure that the guy who chose the song knew it.Raist said:That refers to "connect for free"
Anyway.
No big deal, but yeah, it's stupid to use this music. I mean, who honestly knew that song before LBP was revealed? Because it was like THE song associated to LBP (they used it in the GDC trailer when they revealed the game, and in numerous trailers since then, maybe even ads). And yeah, 99% of the audience won't know/care, but I'm pretty sure the guy who made this ad did know.
I remember the big splash cause by some PGR art/screen used as a banner by some sony website for an ad. So I don't see why this case wouldn't get the same treatment (not that I'm saying it's right or wrong).
I already said I don't think there is. There is a link between Mad World and Donnie Darko, which is what the Gary Jules version was released with."Mad World" was released in 1982.
"Mad World" was covered by Gary Jules in 2001.
"Gears of War" was released in 2006

TheFallen said:And if Killzone 3 used Mad World, why would it matter? It's been used for several products already. It's like complaining about Nolan North playing Nathan Drake and also Sgt Forge in Halo Wars or characters in Gears of War.

Or all the fans that liked that song and band for the eight years and several albums that existed before LBP?!?!?!?I mean, a large proportion the mass market audience will probably have never heard that song, save for the people who have a PS3 and LBP.
ZealousD said:Which itself is an adapation of the traditional Irish folk song know as "Lament for Limerick"!
xbhaskarx said:The Miller's Crossing theme song is played at the beginning of the movie, during the end credits, and probably two or three times during the movie. It's also used in the DVD menu.
That song, more than any other, is associated with Miller's Crossing. "Epic fail" from Sony for using it in The Last Guardian trailer.
i like how you quote a term nobody used.xbhaskarx said:Yes adaptation based on, but that particular music used in Miller's Crossing was made specifically for the movie. Unlike this "LBP song".
Miller's Crossing is made by MS? Or by some Sony competitor?
