Who ever was behind the latest commercial in Sony’s “Long Live Play” advertising campaign deserves a HUGE raise. I don’t care which platform or format you prefer. If you’re a gamer, you’ll appreciate this.

That was impressive! They obviously put a lot of care into making the characters look good in real life.

“I don’t care which platform or format you prefer. If you’re a gamer, you’ll appreciate this.”
Except, of course, unless you play PC games and don’t play FPS. Then you don’t know about 80%+ of the people in the commercial since most of those people are all Console title game characters.

I suspect you’re right. I’ve mostly played Nintendo games and the Portal series, minus the Half Life half. I was quickly killed by headcrabs in the demo, although I bet the full game would have trained me for that. Other than that, I’ve played several PC games and a PS2 game, plus some simulated consoles and handhelds.

I find that rather odd. I haven’t played hardly any of these (although I’d say I’m more of a console gamer), but I still recognize them. Have you seriously managed to avoid any exposure to ALL of them?

I agree…. excellent commercial.. definitely deserving of at the very least a fat bonus to the idea guy and a nice bonus for the executors as well.

Good stuff.

Holy shit.
That’s all that came out of my mouth. It’s great that they paid so much attention to detail, as well as getting David Hayter for Snake.

Well, they mostly did a decent job getting the characters right but in the end the slow pace and the rather worn out idea of making the gamer a hero will make this thing age very fast.

Just pointing out, it is “Long Live Play,” not “Live Long Play.”
Anyway, good stuff.

Was that grey haired guy Solid Snake? Wow I feel like I’m missing years of gaming by being a pc gamer.
