Looks like a follow up to Michael.

Looks like it'll be hitting October 23.
 
Maybe they're making it a trailer for Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale.

EDIT: October 23rd was the original release date for the game. Also, the machine in counter says "Saru Get You", which is a nod to Ape Escape.

Who the hell knows! ;)

I'm expecting a big brand commercial akin to Michael, albeit this one leaning more towards All-Stars or possibly the super-slim PS3.


That Michael commercial was a pretty big hit. Over 11 million hits and the 2nd result you get when putting "Michael" into YouTube behind Thriller.
 
AW MANG HOPEFULLY IT'S A NEW MICHAEL AD THAT HAS CHARACTERS IN IT THAT AREN'T IN PSABR :)
like crash, spyro, cloud, kat and wander

This is clearly a girl cleaning his much beloved Shenmue Trilogy Collector's Edition.

Only on PS4.

Another beautiful but pricey and marketing useless promo like the Michael one?

Reminding people you can buy a PlayStation product by showing all the games on it is hardly a useless promo. The Michael ad likely helped the PS brand volumes when it hit, hence why they're doing it again.

11 million hits translates into buzz, mind-share, and sales.

Playstation All Stars Reloaded crossover FPS, since PSASBR is already Radec vs Radec vs Radec vs Radec

Would be great for All Star ad, whichd also advertise other games. Party gets interrupted by Original Crash mascot in his mascot suit, and a fight breaks out. For Michael.

Much cooler than Butler's corny ads

Did you see Michael on TV ads? Was it a massive marketing initiative? No, it was a web based short that gamers know but no one esle knows. It's useless or at least less effective than a couple of famous boobs playing with a trendy nintendo/apple toy

What's Michael?

By the way
 
What kind of fucked up world do we live in where a trailer references Ape Escape and it really means freaking Playstation All-Stars

I WANT A NEW APE ESCAPE DAMN IT!!

Clearly it will be the start of a 26-day ramp-up to a full-on worldwide marketting campaign in rememberance of Metallica's critically loved and remembered ReLoad album, released fifteen years ago on November 18th.

Just saw the Michael commercial for the first time. Amazing stuff, one of the best commercials you can see as a gamer. I'm thinking this next one will be all the bad guys :p

Have you seen what kind of games Sony funds? Tokyo Jungle is the kind which could be advertised just with some boobs? There is more than advertising to mindless masses, you have the factor that some guys do appreciate this kind of fan service.

It has 11.5 million views. That's a lot of views for something that advertises all of their games.

And that's more than just "gamers".
