Can I have an explanation for this one? :lol

That stupid game last E3 where that girl was hitting red balls at bricks.

 

[AniHawk]

:lol That was great.

 

[Achtius]

Can I have an explanation for this one? :lol

Not 100% sure, but I think it was refering to Milo and the ball throwing.

Edit: I was dead wrong

 

[Einbroch]

Can I have an explanation for this one? :lol

During the Natal demo they showed a segment where the player played a variation of "Breakout", or those brick breaking games using their arms and hands as the paddles.

It was stupid and looked like it might be fun for like 20 seconds.

 

[Man]

Can I have an explanation for this one? :lol

 

[DidntKnowJack]

The red balls reference:

edit: A little late, but it goes perfectly with the pic above. ^^^

 

[shintoki]

I like how they said the PlayStation move is a success...following it up with the Royals winning :lol

 

[itsgreen]

I find it ballsy to say `Who wants to pretend his hand is a gun, what is this? third grade?´ while his alternative is a large plastic handle with a glowing pink ball.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

best KB commercial yet! it would have been +1 had they sneaked some footage of an unannounced Move title on one of the screens though. could have gotten some buzz going.

If Kevin Butler doesn't host Sony's E3 press conference this year I will consider it a failure, no matter what they show.

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

No. He talked about how Move can see if the controller is farther away or closer. Clearly a shot at the Wii.

It's pretty easy for Wii to do that, as it just has to calculate the difference between the IR lights from the sensor bar. Plenty of games/applications have you move the controller forward or back to zoom or scale something.

BUT that is only when using it like a pointer; easy enough for "pure waggle" uses to not have the wiimote camera seeing the sensor bar at all.

Oh you.

What if they show the Adventures of Kevin Butler, the newest game from Naughty Dog.

 

[cakefoo]

:lol jerry lambert does dry humor so well

I don't think fictional characters host press conferences.

Maybe they'll make an E3 ad with him.

 

[Xater]

Instant buy! Except if KB is voiced by Nolan North

 

[Stike]

OMG Kevin Butler skin for Uncharted Multiplayer?? :lol

That said: Please make KB star as additional character in Slider.

Spoiler

And Pain.

Sony will be refunding you all your money you spent on the system, and giving you a lifetime supply of first party titles to all past and future ones.

Yes but...you know...I really want KB to host this so it's not like you win or anything. I'll take it but obviously I'm unhappy about the lack of KB.

 

[Karma]

They really shouldnt bash the Wii when all they have shown is Wii clones.

 

[Corto]

Sony needs to go balls to the wall with this.

 

[Haunted]

and pretending the dildo is a gun is so much better than pretending your hand is a gun. Who cares, it's a fun ad.

 

[Thetallywacker]

Apple does this stuff against MS and it works. It's easy to understand why you drop the extra dough.

 

[lupinko]

[jump_button]

I also like these ads because they really raise awareness long before the holiday season and this product (and natal) comes out.

Really going to push Microsoft to move their ad campaign up if they haven't already. Can't wait to see what they come up with.

Microsoft ad campaign will be the same as Wii

lol this have to hurt the PR team of Big N and MS cant top this for gamers

 

[tirminyl]

Pew Pew. So awesome :lol

I think a couple of my co-workers heads will explode if the Royals won :lol

Whoosh

 

[electroshockwave]

It's pretty easy for Wii to do that, as it just has to calculate the difference between the IR lights from the sensor bar. Plenty of games/applications have you move the controller forward or back to zoom or scale something.

Wouldn't that involve the wiimote camera having to face the sensor bar which might be awkward and would limit the amount of movement you could actually make. Whereas the PSEye would be able to track the Move's distance regardless of which way the controller is pointed.

 

[Turfster]

Of course it is. Nothing's plugged in :lol

Where we're going, we don't need cables!

 

[The Bookerman]

Can I have an explanation for this one? :lol

Ricochet Demo @ e3 2009

 

[abacab driver]

Seem too worried about Natal. Not worried enough about taking market share from Nintendo.

Doesn't show people how this is any better than the Wii. People are going to think this is a copycat idea.

I agree, but this is still pretty great..and could spark a hilarious ad war reminiscent of the 90s..
Kevin Butler should definitely make an appearance at E3! :lol

 

[jaypah]

ad was all kinds of awesome. i don't think MS will retaliate in kind but man i would love to see this get Sega/Nintendo levels of ugly. good job Sony, this is my favorite video game ad series in a long, long time.

YES
ALL OVER MY FACE
LMFAO
I NEVER CLAP SO HARD @ A AD

wow. i apparently didn't like it as much as this guy.

best KB commercial yet! it would have been +1 had they sneaked some footage of an unannounced Move title on one of the screens though. could have gotten some buzz going.

yeah. especially considering this was made for gamers who have already chosen a side anyway. i don't see this drawing in anybody new because.... well what mom is going to be surfing youtube looking for Sony ads. since they're aimed at gamers anyway i say go balls out. talk mad shit and continue to include cool little background touches. the ones that air on tv can be for the uninformed.

 

[user_nat]

This ad is.. awesome.

 

[Shiggie]

no.

 

[mr_nothin]

This thread is going to get really ugly by the next page....

 

[Dante]

LOL sooo good

Is Selig here yet?

 

[offshore]

Apple does this stuff against MS and it's entertaining. It's easy to understand why you drop the extra dough.

Even though the Apple ads are numerous, Mac's don't sell substantially more because of them.

I'd imagine it's the same here. When people see a PS3 ad, they know they're going to be entertained...but does it actually translate into a PS3 sale?

 

[Lijik]

I would love to have a gif of when he holds out the move controller during the boxing part and half heartedly waggles it left and right.

Pretty much summed up how I played most of the sword fights in the first Red Steel :lol

 

[Suzzopher]

That was another awesome ad:lol

Stick me in the 'Kevin Butler to host Sony's E3 conference' camp:lol

 

[DietRob]

These adverts keep getting better and better. I never thought I would like a Sony ad campaign more than the PSP squirrel's but Kevin Butler kills it.

"Who wants to use their hand to pretend like they are shooting a gun? What is this third grade?"
:lol :lol :lol :lol

 

[jaypah]

This thread is going to get really ugly by the next page....

people said it would get ugly in the beginning of the thread too. nothing.

maybe everyone can agree that it's a funny commercial?

 

[Kaako]

I'd be pretty disappointed if he doesn't have some form of E3 showing. Dude is money. :lol

 

[Dead Prince]

just saw this thread :lol KB is fucking great. Where did they find this guy? He does what sony won't yet sony got what they wanted out of this.

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

These commercials keep getting better. The Geico ads (posted above) felt like they were trying too hard.

A shortened version of this has to make the airwaves somehow.

 

[Moobabe]

LOL sooo good

Is Selig here yet?

Must be lurking somewhere...

 

[Skiesofwonder]

What do you think of the PS Move?

"I think a hallmark of Nintendo is that we are constantly trying to innovate. I think we would have been embarrassed to do what our competitors are currently doing."

"Well Reggie, we have a controller and a camera with microphones working together to give you total control of your gaming experience. Not just like this, but this way to. Because real boxers don't hit like this."

 

[Raist]

Ricochet Demo @ e3 2009

That's MS's youtube channel right?
They edited out Tsunoda's jab at the Wii :lol

 

[Pctx]

Seriously... Sony is on a roll lately! :lol

 

[dragonflys545]

Awesome, Keep it up KB :lol :lol

 

[Jive Turkey]

I love these. Funny entertaining and they really remind me of the good ol' days where game companies themselves fueled the fanboy flames.

just saw this thread :lol KB is fucking great. Where did they find this guy? He does what sony won't yet sony got what they wanted out of this.

He's the talented Jerry Lambert.
