I think it's something of a first, but since it's about Halo 3 nothing can surprise me anymore! So here comes a teaser video for... a TV ad. Still, much thanks to the fine folks of XCN for this!
Loakum Ugh….scratch that previous comment. The upcoming Game of Thrones video game is a F’in mobile phone game. Why can’t they came an open world GoT game, like Witcher 3 or God of War? (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum By FAR, the upcoming Game of Thrones King’s Road was the Game of the Show! It plays like God of War Ragnarok! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood @Loakum: enjoy, the one Sony sent us will be there on launch day. Coverage will follow asap. (> 3 Months ago)
Loakum *takes a large sip of victorious grape juice* ok….my PS5 pro arrived early! So much winning! :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood @reneyvane: non ils l'ont publié le 1er octobre et je crois que tu l'avais déjà linkée. ;) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Download is now functional again on Gamersyde. Sorry for the past 53 days or so when it wasn't. (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Another (French) livestream today at 2:30 CEST but you're welcome to drop by and speak English. I will gladly answer in English when I get a chance to catch a breath. :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood GSY is getting some nice content at 3 pm CEST with our July podcast and some videos of the Deus Ex Mankind Divided preview build. :) (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood For once we'll be live at 4:30 pm CEST. Blim should not even be tired! (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood More Quantum Break coverage coming in a few hours, 9:00 a.m CEST. (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood We'll have a full review up for Firewatch at 7 pm CET. Videos will only be tomorrow though. (> 3 Months ago)
Driftwood Tonight's livestream will be at 9:15 GMT+1, not GMT+2 as first stated. (> 3 Months ago)

Commented on 2007-09-12 13:15:27sorry, guess i got a little annoyed.
i just wish ppl would cheer up here and stop complaining in every thread :)
i thought the ad was fantastic, very origional for a game ad
and most of all, its helping to get gaming out into the world and respected as a good form of art and media.
EDIT: and yes, i know the irony of complaining in every thread about people complaining, so dont point that out LOL
Commented on 2007-09-12 13:18:42This is a good bit of marketing.
Commented on 2007-09-12 13:22:52 In reply to FireWireThis is a forum to discuss games, that includes the good AND the bad aspects...
It's just a TV ad??? Hello? Halo is not the only game with Tv Ad??

Commented on 2007-09-12 13:58:50 In reply to Mech_MasterI think its a great TV ad, it draws you in much deeper into the Halo universe, I guess the world doesn't end unless that didnt take place on Earth.
Ad like this just makes me want the game and a movie all the more.
Commented on 2007-09-12 14:00:23A Museum, ok. An old man/veteran talks from his moments on the battlefield (and maybe of the last moments of MC?). It also looks like the war is over and humans live now peacefully.
But what's with Masterchief....?
Believe....believe what?

Commented on 2007-09-12 16:07:43I Know its nice and all that to see what the game will look like -and to see in part what you're paying for- but these adverts are just so damn cool!
Can't believe the release is just around the corner!
Commented on 2007-09-12 16:21:15The ad really gives off a sense that something like this could actually happen.
Commented on 2007-09-12 16:51:59So this is what we wanna see?
Commented on 2007-09-12 16:52:53 In reply to JWCHeetebrijThis Halo 3 absurdity is getting way out of hand now.
I really don't get all the fuss about the Halos series.
First one was good, but the second was seriously flawed.
Halo 3 overhyped? Hell, yeah.

Commented on 2007-09-12 17:30:27anything playing in the backround would have better projected the emotions of a veteran soldier visiting a memoriam to fallen comrades
Bungie you get points for capturing atmosphere, but you also lose points for losing the imagination of anyone who views the ad.
this approach may have been a little over the heads of Bungie/Microsoft's marketing depts.

Commented on 2007-09-12 17:54:18Remember HALO 2 is still played alot on XBL....

I think the tone was set perfect, music would only ruin the emotion of the Veteran. That advert is amazing.
