Video Game Commercials.

nihil · March 2007

my contribution...my alltime favorite video game ad. the guy is cheesey but the footage of super metroid, "oh my god the graphics are amazing", so much stuff I had never seen in a videogame before. great ad. great game.

Good stuff in here. My personal favorite are the Ratchet and Clank Commericals.

Some of those Zelda ads led me to something:

The Shinobi PS2 ad. Not a terribly great commercial by any standards, but a certain fellow co-starring in the ad is now a very familiar face to many.

Spoiler:

Siphon filter 2 ad

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36N7nt-BszY

It was funny back in the day, still worth a chuckle

emnmnme · March 2007

That Syphon Filter commercial was funny. I can't believe graphics looked like that eight years ago. Damn, technology is doubling in power too quickly...

I found this one hilarious a few years ago.

I remember I didn't like it the very first time I saw it too, theres something about the suit that doesn't feel right, and the jumps are so clumsy, but the music and atmosphere is amazing It just shows doing live action Samus is pretty hard, even this ad of MP2 which uses all CGI still doesn't look 100% correct.

Spoiler:

It's Masi Oka, AKA Hiro Nakamura from Heroes.

I already covered that one a few pages back, we got into a little argument over whether it's really Masi Oka or not.

EDIT: Samus' armor does not look good on a real person.

HyperAquaBlast · March 2007

THAT IS AWESOME!!!!

Der Waffle Mous · March 2007

Was the pornstars vs. golfers on the savannah commercial mentioned?

Also: "Juiced"-related mysoginy.

emnmnme · March 2007

No kidding. I went to that gameads.com site and thought, "Cool, lots of TV ads from all over the world." I click on the Most Popular tab and the first thing on there is porn. WTF!?

LordsOfPlague · March 2007

Favorite movie, and one of my favorite games. I first saw it at 1 A.M. and thought I was having a crazy/awesome dream.

Anyone remember the awesome Resident Evil 2 commercials?

HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS RIPPED OFF FROM YTMND!

Nice none the less, but still.

LordsOfPlague · March 2007

Seriously? they ripped it off? Man...that's just...devastating. Like finding out Shakespeare ripped off Hamlet from...whatever their YTMND equivalent was 400 years ago.

I even think there was a wow equivalent of the commercial on ytmnd before it was even aired.

I think the equivalent would be the local pub where all of the lower class prostitutes went.

Probably cause the girl playing Samus looks like a raver grrrrl.

Gahmrious · March 2007

I thought the Japanese Jet Grind Radio commercials were hilarious... Does anyone else remember what I'm talking about...?

shamelessly bumping this for a very good Tiger Woods Wii commercial.

I am so damn glad this is on the first page, though it still should have been sooner than the sixth post.

I'm pretty sure that's the most extreme video on the face of this earth.

I was going to start a new thread about this topic, but I found this one when I searched so I figured I'd just revive it.

Besides the E3 trailer, a couple of the Believe ads for Halo 3 have been oustanding. The Bioshock "Beyond the Sea" ad is a good one, too.

The Diorama ad. This one absolutely floored me. http://youtube.com/watch?v=TUbVOr1qmhA
