Not a lot of people comprehend brand exposure with casuals. It's fine.
Why would anybody want to play this on Vita? I want to play GA 2 and Uncharted 4 on Vita with awesome graphics and buttons.
This is a cheap advertising game made for touchscreen and the absolute casual phone gamer.

You're asking if some free-to-play Coca Cola ad game means Sony are 'going third-party' for handhelds?
No. No it doesn't mean that.

They're not trying to sell to people that already own Sony systems.

I wonder what's next. If they are all popular iOS titles mixed with a playstation characters..... I want God of War x Angry Birds.
Why exactly is this 'sad'? I see a few people have used the term here already. So explain to me why is it sad?

Wait there's a giant Coca-Cola Zero bottle in the right top corned when you play? This is just a gift that keeps giving.
It's sad because they're still not big enough to not be allowed to be butchered like this. Sony apparently doesn't believe that attaching shit products to an IP has an effect but I'd argue differently.

It's not at all bad actually. Yes it's a Temple Run clone but Uncharted works well to fit into that genre of endless runner. If you pick up the coke blobs and fill the bottle you get a little mini game where you try and land on these landing pads that bounce you in the air to collect coins.
It's pretty fun if you can try it. Looking forward to seeing how the others play.

We will see. I think the quality of this game have to be incredibly high for that to happend, and that most cusomers will just ask why they need to buy a dedicated game players for those if they already can play some of them on their phone.

listen to the mad man
i'm gettin' u hyped u bro, this is NOT a game to be indifferent about

Not literally every single one of the biggest. But yeah LittleBigPlanet, InFamous and Uncharted are up there.

So are they trying to get people to own systems like the Vita this way? By releasing a shitty phone game with the Coca Cola logo plastered all over the place? Why ridicule top franchises like Uncharted this way?
I think some people are taking this a lot more seriously than they should. Mario didn't flop when he had some awful edugames released on SNES, Sonic didn't go belly up when he shilled Lifesavers and Nike shoes in online Flash games, I doubt a Coke-sponsored mobile game is going to destroy Uncharted & co.'s brand strength.

Don't they have a Pokémon app that organizes your pokemon?
I think Stump is trolling Naughty Dog and PS fanboys there lol, just a guess that could be wrong.

Alright then u bro. Hype get.
It broke a million as of a few months ago, so I wouldn't say "tanked."
Under performed, for sure.
The Pokemon Company has an iOS Pokedex, but that's not technically Nintendo.

Not when it's actually pretty fun to play. If it was a turd of a game then you could see it hurting the brand but... it actually works perfectly well for what it is.
And here you have raising brand awareness

The Coke bottle is part of the game though as per the other screenshot from my phone I posted.

I could see if it was like Uncharted 4, out now exclusivekly for iOS and Android, but it's not.
It's just a simple mini game collection with some product tie in. Its a little consumerist, sure, but its A) nothing new and B) something so small and insignificant.

i bleed coke zero, haters gonna hate but don't be late to appreciate da crisp taste of nathan drake + coke zero THIS SUMMER IOS AND ANDROID IN THE HOUSE
You're not the target demographic anyways. The goal is most likely brand awareness. Whether or not they end up buying a Sony product, isn't the point at the moment (though definitely an end goal). Casual kids knowing who Nathan Drake and Cole McGrath are though...that's a step forward for them.
'Butchered'? lol what? So you think this will affect the quality and/or impressions the next Uncharted game will get? Puh..leaaase, get real. Unless you worship this franchise as some kind of religion or something I don't see why it would affect the image of the game or your satisfaction with the franchise going forward.
There isn't one, at least to the sensible. It's just hilarious and stupid-looking, but it won't "devalue" their IPs or anything like that.

No, it's not a good game.
Nice concept art.
Sounds like a PSone era sci-fi racer title though. Apparently if your spoiler is correct, it's about as bad.

Exactly.
Uh, yeah, and that (which I didn't really ever look into) sounds fucking dumb and embarrassing as well. Your point?
I never said anything about it being harmful to the brand, I said that it's embarrassing. It is. That is not something that a game developer put together for players, it's shitty minigames to sell Coke with Coke bottles in literally every frame.
Why should people have to come in here and compliment it instead of saying "that sucks" if it does? Can we not give our opinions on movies or games anymore either?

Its actually an awesome game.
It won't but it's sad to a point where you might as well call the IP butchered. Certainly when Naughty Dog poured their love into finely crafting Uncharted this is not where they expected it to end. Next time I think about Uncharted I'll think off this piece of shit rather than the last positive experience I had with it (Golden Abyss). That matters.
It's his opinion. A lot of people think it's a great game as well. Don't take it as fact yo.
What? Really?
