I don't know why, but the first clip doesn't catch my attention. This could have been a commercial for your very best cloud service booked at microsoft..
Somehow, this just doesn't have a gamers footprint.

The 2nd clip is doing a better job at that.

Feels like they are copying Playstation from last gen.

Has very little to do with video games. The first one anyway.

Well I guess Sony couldn't be the on one to have a console commercial that's not about gaming.
 
Very "mehh" indeed. Show us games, not ads.

It didnt take long. The ad was about being sucked into your game world while playing(its part of the #PowerYourDreams campaign).

Maybe it's the quality of the video on twitter, but the first one I could not figure out what game he was in. The second one looked like viking ships under him so I assume Valhalla.

"Power your dreams",

"Power your old games"

Prefer the full montage type ads with game footage what the console looks like, controller, release date and price. Straight to the point. None of this cinematic , posturing type stuff.

it's dumb . There is no actual real game let alone many real games which you would want to see when talking about a video game console.

We're getting ads and marketing campaigns going before seeing any next gen gameplay on the console.

I don't have to agree or like everything they do to be a fan. Don't like it, don't reply and move on.

I think that's normal for TV trailers. PS5 does exactly the same, so I guess that's just how it is.

We're not actually getting ads and marketing, those were leaked and taken down as quickly.

Further, there has already been next gen gameplay shown for both Xbox Series X and Series S, and there will be more.

Of course they are going to market their consoles one month from launch.

Metal Gear Solid Remake / Metal Gear Solid 6 trailer - only on Xbox SeX.

That would attract everyone's attention.
 
"Power Your Dreams"..... "Dreams"......Dreamcast....... Dreamcast 2....... MS are buying Sega next wednesday and financing the Dreamcast 2 with Sonic Adventure 3 as the Launch title!

Haven is a cross gen game. Which is the only xsx gameplay i remember them releasing. How about showing us Scorn, The Medium, or HB2 for example?

Regardless, i don't want to derail the thread any further. But I remember when ads consisted of games clips not stuff like this.
 
Agreed. I don't like that style of ad personally. Remember the PS3 ads? Bizarre some of them!
Yeah they never really sold me anything, I think it's just to show something cool, and then slap a console brand on it. It's mostly for the casuals.
 
I hate these kind of ads, it is just to get mum's to notice what they can buy little Timmy for Christmas.

Wish Xbox and Sony could move away from these kinda ads but they need the widespread sales so this shit will carry on for ages.

If your definition of next gen excludes games releasing on Xbox One or PS4, then it's going to be a dry few years for you.

The games you've listed will be shown in further detail when the studios agree they can be shown. We already know we're getting a massive next gen gameplay dump this month, being mad at MS for finally advertising the product seems misplaced IMO.

I know it will be dry for the first few years. I want to see something from the ones with no cross gen port tho.
 
That's weak as fuck, what does this art piece suppose to convey. I don't understand how this shoud work as an ad for Game Console....

Yup both ps5 and XSX adverts do nothing for me, I guess who watches TV anymore, we more likely see them in you tube adverts nowadays.

I guess Sony and MS have to spend their marketing budgets somehow but rather see games running from both of them

Would this be a dream in which they've released some next gen games footage?

(Sorry, I know it's an obvious gag / dig... but it is getting a little ridiculous now that we've still seen nothing.)
 
...for those of you interested, this right here is regarded by many as the single best piece of video game advertising ever made, and is still taught in marketing lessons:



It's fucking sublime - for many reasons I don't have time to go into now.

It's fucking sublime - for many reasons I don't have time to go into now - and I'm very proud that I now know a few of the people who were involved.

yeah, 6 years ago though. The good old times.
 
Is that Daniel Kaluuya? If not, that dude's the spitting image of him.
We're excited to debut our launch trailer titled, "Us Dreamers." In "Us Dreamers," hero protagonist Daniel Kaluuya (Academy award nominated actor from blockbusters like "Get Out" and "Black Panther") leads us all on an inspirational journey about what it means for gamers to dream and reach our potential, together.
 
What's terrifying to me is that they haven't even shown games they have partnerships with. The yakuza game just got a PS5 gameplay trailer and it has a marketing deal with Xbox.

Trailer uploaded to Playstation channel does not mean PS5 gameplay. Also, we have Xbox gameplay of Yakuza : Like A Dragon.


At 57:23.
 
"Power your dreams" doesn't even make sense for a games console. XSX isn't like a MacBook that allows you to create things you "dream" of.
