What happens on PS5, stays on PS5.

Certainly nothing memorable. I wouldn't be surprised if the commercials hid references to games that haven't been announced yet...

Agreed. They should've showed off footage of xCloud with HellDivers 2, being played via DualSense and said "This is a PlayStation".
Not anymore, it also stays on PC after 6-12 months.What happens on PS5, stays on PS5.

They just get their job done of selling the console.
Ads have always been largely shit, and the ones we post stand out precisely for being good or memorable.

AI has destroyed everyones brains, good 3D artists can no longer get a job in the industry because their work looks like AI apparently
I mean, mediocre? really? it isn't supposed to be perfectly real, it's supposed to be very 'game-like', that's the whole point, and these would not be out of place in Love, Death + Robots

Isn't that what YouTube is for? you can look up any game there, and they do State of Plays constantly to remind us of what games are coming. This is in the same vein as 'Play has no limits'

It's like there's a just a hint in there of the old days of Sony ads but there's no soul, no distinct hook and no edge. They're afraid to alienate, offend or even be too specific, so they just end up being awkward, generic slop. The first one was merely ok, the rest were naff, with the last one being especially anticlimactic.

Moderated wildly
Sonys adverts used to be the best in the game.

It's not that they can do no wrong, it's just that their marketing groups still know how to actually push their main product, while their direct competitor is doing this:

I don't love them, but I find it hilarious to tell the company that slaughters its primary competition over and over and is so far ahead this time that they vanquished a four TRILLION dollar company in this space....that its marketing is bad.
Is it?
Because they're making a metric assload of money.

I have just seen one of those ads on the street. What a waste of money.
I mean nowadays they have only one game a year to show to their customers. So they to need to be creative so show something else, right?
I just hope another big player (from China?) will compete against them. They really have become everything we were afraid they would turn into.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
As always, the most boring goddamn campaigns of anyone. At least we can laugh at Xbox.

PlayStation took a monumental wrong turn with the PS3 that's never been rectified.
It feels like Kutaragi quietly stepped down after the PS2 and his replacement screwed everything up.

I have no love of Twisted Metal at all, but a trailer with the stupid clown car paired with Crazy Clown Time as a surprise announcement. Oh boy, that would be something.We will never have the era of a David Lynch like figure directing video game ads

Really? Are you talking about adverts? because this is what the thread is about, and you would be very wrong about that.....
even (although 'technically' not an advert.... ah, who am I kidding, of course it is)
And if you aren't talking about the advert but PlayStation itself then I'd say you are very wrong there also, PS5 is the most profitable generation for Sony ever, PS4 sold gangbusters and even PS3 righted the ship eventually and had some absolutely amazing games (starting new franchises that went from strength to strength, unfortunately some victims along the way also such as Resistance, I'd love a reboot or a brand new Resistance, more Resistance 1 than 2 or 3 though please even those were good games)

This Japanese advert from the same promo campaign is pretty cool.
