lol

Oh, Sony. Never change.

 

[Hot Coldman]

A thread to make us remember why they call it the console war and not the console pillow fight.

Vicious passive-aggressiveness is reaching critical levels in here.

 

[criesofthepast]

I love the cocky Sony of old. Cocky Sony is best Sony.

 

[kitsuneyo]

Over a fucking Internet ad?

The fuck is this...

You think I'm sobbing my heart out over this? If we're not going to give our opinions what's the point of the thread!

It's just a comment on a forum...

 

[KillGore]

Nintendo's software shits on Sony's from a great height.

lol, no

"Oh, Yay, Another Killzone Game."

"Oh, Yay, Another God of War Game."

"Oh, Yay, Another Uncharted Game."

Works both ways, unfortunately. I want new IP's from everyone, please.

I don't know, I think Sony has done pretty well introducing new IPs this gen, especially this late in the console cycle. With Uncharted, Infamous, Last of Us, Beyond Two Souls, etc.

I guess it would be bad if you didn't like shooters though.

 

[Supermanisdead]

Lol, arrogant Sony is hilarious.

 

[Sendou]

I actually like that Sony is bringing quite a lot of new titles/IPs to the market. I wish Nintendo was still doing that. People are absolutely neglecting Sony's PSN efforts.

Who is? Probably not this forum who voted Journey as the GOTY. Sound Shapes was pretty nice too btw. Hope they keep that going through next-gen.

 

[waypoetic]

Yeah, there's only version of Killzone that they released 3 times!

Spoiler

don't kill me, it's all fun and games

Killzone (PS2) - 2004 (You play as : Jan Templar)
Killzone : Liberation (PSP) - 2006 (You play as : Jan Templar)
Killzone 2 (PS3) - 2009 (You play as : Thomas 'Sev' Sevchenko)
Killzone 3 (PS3) - 2011 (You play as : Thomas 'Sev' Sevchenko)
Killzone : Mercanary (PSV) - 2013 (You play as : Arran Danner)

 

[Glass Rebel]

Sony knows what their fans crave and gives it to them.
In other words, they've probably got new IPs AND bullshit.

I think the event is PS4 only

Killzone (PS2) - 2004 (You play as : Jan Templar)
Killzone : Liberation (PSP) - 2006 (You play as : Jan Templar)
Killzone 2 (PS3) - 2009 (You play as : Thomas 'Sev' Sevchenko)
Killzone 3 (PS3) - 2011 (You play as : Thomas 'Sev' Sevchenko)
Killzone : Mercanary (PSV) - 2013 (You play as : Arran Danner)

I don't get this post. Or what's in the brackets.

 

[MeBecomingI]

These reactions are hilarious. The ad is working, apparently.

 

[PhantomR]

To get attention, sure. But I don't think arrogance or mocking your competitors is good for your image.

LOL, you think Sony cares about that? Smack talking is their game. It's what they're known for. This isn't going to change or damage their image one bit.


The PSN debacle? THAT damaged their image. Not this.

 

[GeoramA]

Sony, publicly apologize and pull this ad for PS4 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

 

[GoldPunch]

Hahaha. I love Sony

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Hopefully this year will bring out some great new games on the next gen platforms and we are in full swing as the PS3 and 360 are needing to be retired.

 

[Carpe Libertatem]

There are more games in the New Super Mario Bros franchise alone than main entries in all of the franchises you mentioned... That doesn't include all the other Mario games that also are mostly the same year in year out, or the remakes. I can't wait for the inevitable Super Mario 64U.

Sony gives plenty of great new IPs - The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls for two upcoming examples.

NSMB, NSMBWii, NSMB2, NSMBU. I guess the new Luigi DLC if you want to count that? Compared to:

Uncharted 1, 2, 3, Golden Abyss
God of War 1, 2, 3, (soon) Ascension, Chains of Olympus, Ghosts of Sparta
Killzone 1, 2, 3, Liberation, (soon) Mercenary

 

[Mad_Ban]

Oh man. GAF is returning to the 07/08 days And it's only going to get better!

As for the ad itself, it's not really how I'd go about hyping up the PS4 reveal. But it's certainly generating talk, which is what I think they wanted.

 

[Insane Metal]

LoL the war has definetely started!

 

[SlowRevolution]

Sony, publicly apologize and pull this ad for PS4 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

bow for a full minute

 

[Zen_Arcade]

Nintendo has more Mario sequels than those games combined lol

Of course they do, Mario games have been around like 28 years.

 

[schuelma]

I think this is pretty funny and harmless.

This year is going to be something else.

 

[Dead Prince]

they should launch the ps4 in line with ps1 and ps2 launch price

 

[Kaako]

Fake or real...this thread delivered some laughs already. Next gen war is upon us, embrace it.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Killzone (PS2) - 2004 (You play as : Jan Templar)
Killzone : Liberation (PSP) - 2006 (You play as : Jan Templar)
Killzone 2 (PS3) - 2009 (You play as : Thomas 'Sev' Sevchenko)
Killzone 3 (PS3) - 2011 (You play as : Thomas 'Sev' Sevchenko)
Killzone : Mercanary (PSV) - 2013 (You play as : Arran Danner)

Yeah, it was a joke. You don't need to make a fucking list, I don't care. I'm aware of all the Killzone games and I'm sure they're all mightily different or blah blah blah I'm not an FPS guy so I wouldn't give a damn either way.

 

[LastNac]

"Oh, Yay, Another Killzone Game."

"Oh, Yay, Another God of War Game."

"Oh, Yay, Another Uncharted Game."

Works both ways, unfortunately. I want new IP's from everyone, please.

I want new IPs as well,but come on man, how many sports titles has Nathan Drake had compared to Mario?

 

[zroid]

Watch Sony buys back Crash just to use as a marketing tool

 

[Subtle]

Sony, publicly apologize and pull this ad for PS4 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I don't know how much you know about gamers, but I'm an expert...

 

[frankie_baby]

NSMB is a sub-series though.

The post I was responding to directly criticised the number of nsmb games

And anyway as has already been pointed out each Mario subseries is wildly different, they just have the same main cast

 

[HyperCubed4]

Sony, publicly apologize and pull this ad for PS4 or you can kiss your business goodbye.

Holy shit, when did Reggie get a GAF account?

 

[Interceptor]

So arrogant sony is back? Almost killed them once.

 

[LightOfTruth]

I love Nintendo, but Sony launch new IP for the core every year. I think they can get away with having a lot of sequels more so than Nintendo.

 

[Boss Man]

"Oh, Yay, Another PSN Hack."

Certainly don't have to worry about that sort of thing happening with your friend code!

 

[Acquiescence]

"Oh, Yay, Another Killzone Game."

"Oh, Yay, Another God of War Game."

"Oh, Yay, Another Uncharted Game."

Works both ways, unfortunately. I want new IP's from everyone, please.

None of those IPs have had 8 games release in the span of a single year though, unlike a certain mustachioed mascot who got whored out something awful during late-'11 to late-'12.

 

[KaiserBecks]

Not really as there were 3 of each made on the home consoles while there are at least 10x more mario games made in total. See this link for more details.

I'm having problems understanding your point here. What exactly is a "Mario Game"? And how is this worse than creating a new IP and making the same type of game 3 times in a row (not even counting 2 God of War games on PSP and 1 Uncharted on Vita)?

 

[BY2K]

Begun, the console war has.

 

[Satchel]

Not even fucking close, lol.

Of course not close. He said from great heights.

 

[prwxv3]

I can't believe there is a 7 page thread about a google add. I can see a huge thread if Kaz or someone else at top Sony management said this but not a google add.

 

[Haunted]

The amount of Kaz avatars is pretty astonishing, Sony GAF seems hyped as fuck.

 

[PhantomR]

Holy shit, when did Reggie get a GAF account?

It's an inside joke.

 

[rouken]

There is not 100 different versions of either Uncharted, Killzone or God Of War.

Mario on the other hand, well - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_video_games_featuring_Mario

lol. you're comparing franchises that launched this decade to a franchise that's been on 2 decades of gaming and still popular like crazy and spawned games on multiple genres?

i do know that sony wants that kind of franchise on their system, you could see that they've tried a couple of times since the ps1 era (crash, spyro, jak, ratchet, sly, sackboy)

 

[?oe?oe]

Nintendo's software shits on Sony's from a great height.

In my opinion, I like to agree. My Nintendo collection is much grander than my Sony collection.

 

[Supermanisdead]

I was a pretty big console warrior last time around, but I'm over it now. I wonder if people ever only participate in one console war and we get new armies every generation.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

These reactions are hilarious. The ad is working, apparently.

Ads are actually supposed to get you interested in the product the ad is selling, not causing playground fights on internet messageboards.

 

[Velcro Fly]

I want new IPs as well,but come on man, how many sports titles has Nathan Drake had compared to Mario?

well he was in all-stars battle royale which was a shallow ripoff of a nintendo franchise.

lol

 

[SirMossyBloke]

Certainly don't have to worry about that sort of thing happening with your friend code!

Haha daaaammnnnn

 

[Azure J]

Begun, the console war has.

Can you fucking imagine May into e3?

 

[SkylineRKR]

lolz no one should take this seriously. Its marketing shit. I love it because these are funny lines and they actually do what they suppose to; they ignite talks.

Sony is, for the first time since 1995, a challenger again. And it shows. They try to make their brand look and sound cool just like they did back then. Might work out.

 

[Sendou]

I can't believe there is a 7 page thread about a google add. I can see a huge thread if Kaz or someone else at top Sony management said this but not a google add.

Pretty nice ad.

the last of us should be pretty good. beyond will probably be horrendous, but that's okay because it comes with this warning label:

 

[73V3N]

Learn to count

 

[UrbanRats]

Embarassing.
Yet entertaining, in a way.
