Yea, they should be over cynical and hate the shit out of everything to form the facade of good taste. It gets the point across pretty well.

Sadly, this kind of stuff is apparently what people like to watch.
That's clearly not the goal of the ad.

Thought it was cool. Greatness Awaits is such a fantastic tagline.

I thought it was awesome, but I could see how it does nothing for someone who doesn't know about the PS4 and it's games.

What is the fantasy game that they're trying to sell?

I rather liked it. Started off rough but the chorus was good.
Elder Scrolls Online.

Yeah it really is. It's the best one I've heard for any product in a long ass time.

Agree with CambriaRising, decent start but once they got into it I thought the racing (Drive Club) and Killzone sections were pretty good.
Also, yeah, Greatness Awaits is great stuff.

Yea, I was thinking the same thing...I was like these guys look like me
Its like Sony actually realizes that gamers are like 30yrs old on avg (older actually) and that guys/gals who are of that age probably owned a ps1 and ps2 even if they went with a 360.
I expect them to slowly begin showing games over the next couple of weeks. Devs still have games to finish. I want finished games, not commercials.
Where is that Simpsons salt silo gif when you need it?
Got it.
Who is this directed at? People with opinions contrary to your own or people that can't handle people with opinions contrary to their own?

shouldn't the tagline changed to Greatness Is Here or something when it finally launch?
I really like this advertising company. I believe this is the first commercial they made for Sony.

Depends on if they are saying that the greatness is the console or the experiences the gamer will get with the games on the console

Those who can't help but whine over every little thing. Call it garbage. Seeing that a lot in this thread. :\
That's not salt. That's called having an opinion. Mocking people who you disagree with isn't very beneficial to a discussion forum.
There's always going to be more games coming. More greatness awaiting!
So basically UNCMark was right.
It's aimed at people who haven't bought it yet ;P

Not bad. Not bad at all.
Here's hope next commercial is a montage of gameplay footage.

Not a terrible commercial but not that great either.
Not a fan of Lou Reed I guess.
Remember, Xbox One's commercials during football time were about watching football/TV. Even though this ad wasn't that great in terms of showing off games stuff, it was still centered around real-life versions of the PS4 game collection.
I think this Sony commercial is more effective for those interested in the consoles that watch football. Unless the Xbone football ads somehow convinced users that they should buy both a $50/month NFL Sunday Ticket pass AND Xbox Live Gold for $5/month and waste the more expensive package, the edge goes to the PS4.

It was OK, I guess. Not incredibly impactful but I MUCH prefer an ad like this over an ad with some angsty, crunching guitars and in-game footage of a bunch of dudes getting shot in the face.

It has nothing on the Xbox One commercial.

I thought the ad was pretty terrible. Was way too long and uninteresting, and in turn, awkward to watch.
"Okay... Guys displaying as knights or something fighting... Now they're singing? What game is this? What? Oh, okay, driving now. Drive Club, car crash, kind of cool. What are they even singing? Okay... Now a war field. Killzone? End? Okay..."
Now how is that making me want a PS4? What reason is there to buy the system? What does it do? What games are there (As a gamer, I already know what games they're supposed to be, except the first one). What do the games look like? Hows the game play? What else can the PS4 do?
If they're going to do live action commercials, show SOME game play, and make them hilarious like the Kevin Butler commercials.

That's not the purpose of the commercial. This is not an informative commercial, by construction and purposefully.
They swapped places this new generation

I wasn't blown away. This was no PS9 ad. Still hyped for PS4 though.

Its to get me interested in the product, and alert me if releases on November 15th of this year. I don't see how this would interest anyone watching a football game.
Kevin Butler's commercials were the perfect example. They would occasionally jump to show game play, if I recall correctly.
