So... Sony went from not advertising their games, to now showing them during one of the biggest movies in the last decade.

Wow.

So... Sony went from not advertising their games, to now showing them during one of the biggest movies in the last decade.

Wow.

Uncharted and TLOU were always heavily marketed.

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Clever Sony, really clever!

Uncharted 4 will be a beast.

 

[sappyday]

Gonna have to close my eyes for this. They've showed too much on this game imo.

 

[Lys Skygge]

You may be thinking of the real 70mm IMAX. Not the digital IMAX knockoff that's in most of the theaters.

Ah, so I remember correctly.

 

[FTF]

Saw the movie in IMAX, no Uncharted

Same

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

3D AMC first showing. Saw no trailer, did see Hearthstone and Overwatch in the 3D pre-trailer commercials

 

[foxtrot3d]

Didn't see a trailer for it tonight. Saw a Halo 5 trailer though.

I got that as well. The hell was with that Muse song randomly in the Halo trailer?

 

[Papercuts]

I kept seeing Fallout 4 ads playing at mine.

 

[Mr. Nice_Guy]

Same

Ditto, was looking forward to seeing it on the big screen. But I did see the Supes V Batman trailer I forgot to watch online. It amazes me how much worse it looks every time they show some more of it.

Edit: Oh! There was a clash of clans commercial before hand with Cristolph Waltz that was actually pretty good. But that man can make anything interesting.

 

[Armadilo]

Went to Cinemark theater no Uncharted 4 but Halo 5 trailer was showed

 

[OléGunner]

Gonna have to close my eyes for this. They've showed too much on this game imo.

Think I'm done with preview footage too.
Will avoid this trailer like the plague as I've seen enough to know this game will be amazing.

Anyone else feel like ND might be going overboard with exposure UC3 style now?
Though it's very smart of them to advertise U4 with Star Wars!

I still feel like we've seen very little haha.

 

[the_batman]

so when will it be on youtube?

 

[sjay1994]

Have they?

Because they've only shown the island, the car chase, Nadine and dialouge options, and I don't think that's very much.

Where as uncharted 3 practically showed every major setpiece.

 

[brickarts295]

so when will it be on youtube?

I'll predict Monday.

 

[Yeef]

Just got back from Star Wars and it didn't have the trailer. I guess my movie theater wasn't selected.

 

[TrojanBlade]

Did anyone got to see the trailer? Sony should at least release list of theaters where it will be shown. Seems like it is in very few theaters?

 

[OléGunner]

I still feel like we've seen very little haha.

I'm just so paranoid -_-

 

[Papacheeks]

Most likely will outsell Halo 5 LT in one week WW.

I'm counting on it, as I have an avatar bet with Statham.

 

[zsynqx]

Anyone seen it yet?

(the trailer/BTS)

 

[Nightengale]

Weekends, right?

 

[Gurish]

Damn more than 3 months before release, must be a crazy budget for this game.

 

[barit]

What? That's pretty big news right here. New thread? Just kidding but would be awesome if someone like Mr.Waltz gets casted for the next ND game

Spoiler

TLOU2?

. Was always a fan of Waltz even way before he became famous with Inglourious Bastards. Just let Neil's charm do the work and he will sign in a heartbeat I guess

 

[Kölsch Bloot]

That's huge! Any potato cam version yet?

 

[zsynqx]

Anyone see it?

 

[get2sammyb]

It says weekends.

 

[Raylan]

Brand new Uncharted 4 trailer

https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/677626500590518272

So awesome!

Exactly what Nate deserves, for his last ride.

 

[Chance Hale]

I saw it at my local

Spoiler

fake

imax, it was part of the pre trailer verts that places like cinemark do.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Dang. Smart advertising right there.

I wonder what that spot cost them?

This was my first thought too. They must have a huge marketing budget for this game if they're putting a trailer before Star Wars. I expect it'll be their biggest marketing spend ever.

 

[zsynqx]

Deserved.

Follow up to TLOU which was a massive critical/commercial success.

 

[Ghost Slayer]

It's expected though. This will be the last Uncharted game under direction of its creator. The next game either a reboot or a sequel/prequel may not have big impact and Sony need to rethink about how to make the franchise fresh again.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Most likely will outsell Halo 5 LT in one week WW.

I'm counting on it, as I have an avatar bet with Statham.

I mean, I think it will sell really well, undoubtedly be the best-seller in the Uncharted series and unquestionably the biggest first party PS4 release to date, but you think it will sell more than Halo 5's total up to that point (so, about six months?) in one week?! Even if Halo 5 has slipped a lot from its heyday, that's still going to be probably ~5 million units. I couldn't get behind a prediction like that.

 

[Ricky_R]

It's only logical for Sony to allocate a great deal of money to Uncharted 4's advertising. It's not only already a big enough franchise to merit it, but it will set the pace for next year's incredible line up.

Sony is in a great position for 2016.

Yer, in 1 week sounds pretty nuts. I have a really hard time believing that.

 

[Redevil]

so when will it be on youtube?

Hopefully soon! :/

 

[ViciousDS]

seeing star wars tomorrow night.....hoping they play the trailer at my theater!

 

[eso76]

I still feel like we've seen very little haha.

If they're aiming for the same amount of content as uncharted 2 and 3 then yes we've seen very little.

A 20 hrs game with the production values shown in trailers thus far sounds incredible, has ND said anything about length ?

They said it's going to be the longest Uncharted, but 20h sounds doubtful. I'm thinking 12h, versus the ~8h of UC2.

Edit: Of course, there's going to be some extra replayability thanks to those alternate paths they mentioned.

 

[slavesnyder]

I wonder if they open with "From the creators of The Last of Us".

Alternate paths meant different cutscenes right? Level design is probably the same.

U2 took me 12-13. I tried collecting stuff though. Still missed a lot. But it depends how you play.

 

[LifeBrandRobot]

Damn Nate why so serious.

 

[lukeskymac]

No. Why would there be different cutscenes?

They've already stated in some interviews that there will be alternate paths that'll lead to a common area, so one path can involve a lot of platforming and the other can have enemies on it, plus some dead-ends with treasure on them.

Ah, I misunderstood your post. I thought you talked about dialogue options

 

[Ricky_R]

There are going to be some dialogue options spread out through the game, but they won't really affect the story.

Wow.

Where do you think money for this ad came from lol.

 

[Skux]

Damn, all we got here in NZ was Captain America and Batman v Superman stuff, which has been out for ages online already.

 

[samar11]

I watched the movie tonight, there was ps4 reel commercial but not UC4.

Uncharted 3 shipped 3.8 million on day 1, Halo 5 would have a hard time hitting that number by the time UC4 launches, that's assuming UC4 shows absolutely no growth at all.

I wonder if they open with "From the creators of The Last of Us".

They won't need to? Uncharted 3 sold significantly better and faster than TLOU. That would be like sticking "from the creator of Zone of the Enders" in Kojima's next game.
