Sony is looking to show off the power of the PS3 and the Killzone 2 engine with their new “Bullet” trailer for the game. Everything is rendered real time in game and it’s damn pretty. You can grab this in HD on the PSN now, so go check it out in 1080p.
So last night I settled in for some TV at my friend’s house, briefly discussing some new games that will be coming out when I saw this ad for the Xbox 360. It’s part of the ‘Live Your Moment’ marketing campaign that Microsoft has kicked off. There have been a few others such as family games, featuring Lego Batman and for music games featuring Rock Band 2. Those I don’t have a problem with. It’s this one that I have a problem with, the movie one.
Did anyone catch that? Sure the Xbox 360 can download and play HD movies, we know that, but the Xbox 360 displayed is priced at GBP 129.99, the Arcade version, which lacks a hard drive. Yes they did mention in the commercial that a hard drive is required but that doesn’t say much to me when you advertise the version without a hard drive. To me this is nothing more than a cheap shot for market share by Microsoft. Family games, music games, and movies are the 3 big hot topics these days and Microsoft covers all of them, cheaply according to them, yet not 100% true.
This pisses me off, especially when one of my slower friends was tempted to purchase the Arcade because he wanted to watch movies and play games, which wouldn’t have worked on the GBP 129.99 budget. Anyone else think this advertisement is slightly skewed from reality? Or that some people will be disappointed when they open their holiday gifts and end up with a Xbox 360 that doesn’t play movies?
It seems Sony has hired a terrific ad company. Check out the latest TV ad for Resistance 2. Great commercial! Not as good as the Mad World Gears commercial, but it’s up there. You know you want to watch it again and again.
Only in Japan can a simple commercial for a game appear like the second coming of Jesus Christ. Here is a quick look at the new XBLA and PSN title, Bionic Commando: Rearmed. I only wish I knew what they were saying. Maybe its like that South Park episode and they are saying “Protect my balls, Let’s fighting Love!”
Slash is fierce. That is all ye know on earth and all ye need to know. Thats right, Ode on a Grecian Urn reference. 780 0n SAT verbal, no big deal. Enjoy.
If you are not absurdly excited for this game then I have no idea what to tell you. Multiplayer beta was beyond fun. I hope that the single player is as good as advertised.
HD Lovin as always.
Coming Soon!
