Although I believe it doesn't make any difference, the page seems to load them all anyway. Whether or not it makes an actual difference I'd still like to see people put their videos into spoilers. Just now my browser froze four times while trying to load this page (and then crashed as I was typing this sentence). Even if it doesn't make any difference I'd still appreciate it as perhaps it would feel as though it is helping. Also the scroll bar on the side of the page is getting microscopic and that really bugs me quite a bit. I'm kind of hoping that this post starts a new page so that my browser doesn't need to load all the videos I've already watched. Edit: YAY! My prediction was correct! Anyway, here's another one of my favourite trailers, I wish I had seen this when the game came out, because then I would have played it sooner: Spoiler 1 Share this post Link to post
40oz Posted January 17, 2018 Tony Hawk American Wasteland's advertisement was that you could travel seamlessly to different levels without having to exit out of the game and choose it, or wait for the game to load. This was pretty revolutionary to me because it led me to believe that the hopeful future of gaming would be a future where our computers would be so fast that there would be no need for waiting for stuff to load. Unfortunately this was never the case and every fucking game I've ever bought since always had long boring loading screens. We really should be past this by now. 1 Share this post Link to post
Skeletonpatch Posted January 17, 2018 It's good to see that I didn't need to resurrect this thread myself. The PS3 had many great ads, primarily those featuring Kevin Butler. If only the actor playing him hadn't messed it all up, then we may still be enjoying this magic! Spoiler 0 Share this post Link to post
[McD] James Posted January 17, 2018 Kevin Butler was great. Marcus Rivers, on the other hand, was insufferable. 1 Share this post Link to post

Vorpal Posted January 20, 2018 For whatever reason, no commercial or trailer has ever sold me on a game. I had a fascination with print media though, magazines with full spreads of ultra colorful Secret of Mana maps and strategy guides and artwork not seen anywhere else, I got dangerously addicted to RPGs when I was 10-12 because of this. 1 Share this post Link to post
Skeletonpatch Posted February 4, 2018 This thread ain't done yet! While so far this thread has mostly focused on commercials and trailers, as Vorpal has stated, there are many great examples of print ads out there! Most of the ones I'm familiar with came from Sega: Spoiler Here's a pretty standard Sega ad... Spoiler Still pretty normal... Spoiler Um... Interesting... Spoiler Ooookkkkaaaayyyy... And finally, the Magnum Opus: Spoiler Why? Just, WHY? Can anyone remember any more amazing print ads related to video games? 0 Share this post Link to post
