Why don't developers try to advertise like movie studios?

Because Japan's director glorification is stupid shit. Please, never become this ridiculous, western hemisphere publishers.

A SUDA 51 TRIP
You know what's cool, man? Suda isn't even the director.
 
Rockstar is pretty good at this..

"From the makers of Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption"

Seen it on buses, billboards, TV commercials, internet ads, sides of buildings, etc.
 
I find it pretty dumb when it happens, but maybe it's useful when it comes to publicizing a game

I love how Mario games just don't give a shit; the max they do is "Mario is back in a new adventure!", which is all we need to know, to be honest

like it made any sort of difference in the fact that the game is very much a Suda 51 trip from beggining to end.

RAGE doesn't seem to be a major step up for id unfortunately.

Offtopic but... In terms of what exactly? In technology? Art? Story? Gameplay? It's probably their best game since Quake III, and the best single player game they've made since Quake II/Doom II. When the game works well on PC, it's a pretty amazing looking. And it's the best animation ID has ever done. I think it's a huge step for for them.
 
I think they should have giant bold words across the cover going FROM THE DUDE THAT WAS INVOLVED WITH DEVIL MAY CRY, RESIDENT EVIL.
