Good idea
 
You guys are awesome.

I just imagine the pro guys watching this thread, saying 'Please don't do my upcoming game, PLEASE"

:lol



you know, with that said, why don't we do some upcoming games, too? That would be interesting. Maybe a game coming out in the next month or so?

It'd be even funnier if we saw it show up as a real ad. :lol

Well, if people are taking them form Gaf and posting them elsewhere then they kinda are.

I bet if you goggle Mega Man now you'll find some of these.

I cant think of anything good for Persona...

:(

Too bad it isn't Persona 3, the whole "shooting yourself in the head" angle would be easy.

I have to say, pretty much all the ads made so far have been very impressive. Way to go GAF!

Okay, that is just f'ing weird man...I just did a quickie during my lunch break, which, while nowhere near as good or polished as yours, shares the exact same concept.

Keep in mind I have to use bloody Paint because I don't have Photoshop!

Uncanny:

LOL! I get a distinctly Watchmen-esque vibe from yours. You're one good typographer away from making a real graphic novel cover!
 
Somehow I feel each game should have its own thread, just like those photography contests etc :/
 
I know absolutely nothing about Persona 4 either.

I just googled it and was intrigued by the Television concept and the Midnight Channel malarkey.

I must say, if I didn't find JRPG's mind numbingly dull, the premise of P4 actually has me reaaaally intrigued.
 
I just started Persona 4 recently so to everyone making ads can you refrain from any spoilers? Thanks and keep up the great work!

Damn you. I read that right before I sat down to come up with some ideas, and all I could come up with were Persona 3 concepts. Bah.

^ awesome. I like everything except the glow and the shadow on the logo.

Noted. Last minute changes, and I think you're right -- original image edited for great justice.
 
Sorry to be late to my own thread, but yeah, it's officially Persona 4 time now.

Obligatory yellow Persona 4 ad:

EDIT: Apparently done better by Spoo.

lol, I actually like yours quite a bit -- very stylish and minimalistic (I don't consider myself an artist, but by God, I'll use the words!)
 
Here's a zip file containing all the Mega Man 9 ones. There are 77 of them, and here's the "key"

Nameofperson_number_letter.whatever

number = 1st or 2nd or 3rd entry
letter = version of that entry (so TheGOHN has two revisions, the three are labeled TheGOHN_a.jpg, TheGOHN_b.jpg, etc).

It's through sendspace because I don't usually upload stuff. So if there's a better one, or this one is notoriously bad for ads, let me know.

Also, first post updated. There will be two days to work on a project now, considering there weren't a lot of submissions on the third.
 
^^^ I love that, Panther...

...but for interest's sake, what would happen if you removed the white sheen, and all the other visual information from the bottom of the page (bar the gradient shadowing or whatever it is) and just had "what is the midnight channel?"

I think the repeated font shadow and the "P4" thing clutter up the beauty of your design.

No clutter:

No Clutter, With Shiny <<-- I like this one.


Edit:
If anybody is reading this thread that actually knows anybody, I would like to get paid to do stuff like this (and I may be out of a job soon). PM me.

This is the best imo so far. The static in the TV is a *bit* too heavy, and -- since this is an ad -- it would make more sense for the persona 4 logo or something to be in the TV.

Other than that, it bleeds of win.
 
^ Yep, I love PantherLotus' (maybe because it is what mine would have looked like if I had talent and Photoshop instead of Paint).

I think that the game's official site URL should be in there somewhere.

As for the P4 logo, I think one of the concept's biggest strengths is it's "WTF" factor.

It's a weird balance between going for viral and driving traffic to your site and completely ruining that attempt with too much information.

Still, the white shine thing shouldn't be there, or you should make it on a different shape. That one looks just weird for some reason...
 
Yeah, xintin's is excellent.

I would do some soft shadows or a teeny tiny gradient on the footer to bring out the text (esp. the tagline and the website); as it is it gets lost in the bg. Also, the atlus logo sticks out like a sore thumb and could use a slight touch up.
 
nice entrys so far guys :)

i just watched some videos of the game on youtube and god inspired ... i have now 2 ideas i need to try out :D
