I just saw a Sly 2 commercial during the Yankees/Red Sox game on ESPN.

September 14 is the release I see! It's only July 25 and the comercials have already started!

I was just about to start an identical thread. Can't believe they're doing TV ads this early.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

if they are, they can start by changing that horrible boxart.

I saw the Sly 2 advert about a week ago. The game looks good, but that's one of the worst gaming commericals I have seen in a long time. It had a decidedly 'clean is better than dirty' feel, if you know what I mean.

I've seen a sly cooper ad on much-music last month, september is so close to october and october is killzone

Sly Cooper 2 -- PS2 GOTY!! Oh, yeah!!

Was this the commerical where Sly and company are talking about being framed for a crime and needing our help??? If so, then I personally loved that commercial.

 

[GDGF]

That's the one. It made me cringe, actually.

I loved "Clean is better than dirty commercial". I'm sure hardcore Mario fans hated it, though.

I thought it was better then the first Sly 1 commerical which featured a pair of detectives investigating a crime scene, and later a racoon escaping through an opening in the wall... Oh well, we all have different taste...

Sony can overdo their commericials sometimes. They drill advertisements into my skull. I still see Jak when I try to do math.

 

[Wario64]

I somehow think that this game isn't gonna do as great as the first one, sales wise

it's not like the first one was a huge hit right off the bat...it had poor initial sales. It got to its current number through month after month of good greatest hits sales.

You've forgotten about MGS3 and GT4, oh and KATAMARI DAMACY!

They might overdo it a bit, but they seem to be the #1 TV advertising publisher, even ahead of EA (except on ESPN where EA owns). Just about every big game has had significant commercial airtime (GT3, Twisted Metal: Black, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, SOCOM, Sly, Getaway, Rise To Honor, Syphon Filter, various 989 sports).

Of course, I only watch certain channels, so maybe I'm missing the other guys outlets.

MGS3 - not expecting it to release this year, besides after MGS2, don't really care.
GT4 - realistic racing game = meh. Not my thing.

KD - damn, can there be a two-way tie for GOTY?!?!

Took the words right out of my mouth.
