That is an incredible ad! If I didn't already own a PS3, this trailer alone would rush me out to buy one. Dam, I can just keep watching it over and over. The music is extremely catchy as well. "DO YOU WANT IT? DO YOU NEED IT? LET ME HEAR IT!!!!!"

unlimited6787d ago

as well as upcoming third-party exclusives such as Haze from Ubisoft and Metal Gear Solid 4 from Konami. I recall seeing some comments on this blog recently lamenting why we weren’t making a bigger deal out of Metal Gear. Well, get ready for a steady diet, because Metal Gear Solid is the mother of all exclusives and we can’t wait for its release.

we have some secrets and many new games up our sleeves for 2008 as well. We can’t wait to kick it all off!

awesome..2008 will be the greatest for sony..

rofldings6787d ago

NOW THAT'S A COMMERCIAL SONY!

thank god the days of baby doll/white room commercials are over! The reign of the PS3 begins.

ruibing6787d ago

Hands down the most exciting and catchy ad I've see for any console as of yet. I think Sony's PR department finally turned a corner.

rofldings6787d ago

lol. Yeah man, I saw the PS3 in a white background and I was like, "oh no... not again" and then the music started playing and I just had a maximum orgasm. :)

xhi46787d ago (Edited 6787d ago )

Sorry you're all right.

This ad just made me wet. Props to them on this one, this is one damn fine sexy beast of an ad, it pumps you up! Emotionally engages you! And leaves you wanting more! Must have spent top dollar on this little beauty. The music.......my gosh how awesome was the music!

Anyway, it's a good time to get one I guess. I'm personally really happy about all these first party and a few third party exclusives as well as the multi platform games.

I feel like listing them so let me...cause i'm crazy.

Ratchet And Clank

Uncharted Drakes Fortune

Eight Days

War Devil

Little Big Planet

Heavenly Sword

Lair (yuk)

MGS4

Warhawk

Tekken 6

Haze

Resistance 2 (next year....for those that don't know, yes it's true :D!!!)

White Knight

Final Fantasy XII (or whatever)

Disagea

Afrika (what the hell aye haha)

Gran Turismo 5

Killzone 2

The Getaway 3

Infamous

Folklore

God of War 3 (probably not next year, maybe late next year or 2009, but they are hard at work on it, which is always nice to know :P)

And that's all I can think off the top of my head, I'm sure there are some missing but yeah it's always nice to know :P Can't wait till they reveal the other black onyx themed ads!

stunt2136787d ago

Wow, that is a really good ad, it makes me to wnat to buy ps3 again

Kulupoo6787d ago

My 3 reactions to the AD O.O >.> T.T
Now sony got some good ads now... white room and this is living commercial sucks compare to this one.

VendettaWFT6786d ago

See this is something an average person can look at and say "wow, that looks amazing". I am a firm believer that advertising is the biggest draw for consumers, cause like most of you would love to believe that everyone knows everything behind gaming...only about 15% of game owners use these forums or websites to keep up news in the gaming industry. The rest go on word of mouth or commercials like these. Now I'll throw in my quick 2 cents.
1) This beats the hell outta of those often confusing white room commercials they had be previously using. The shift of focus to commercials like these that show "actual" gameplay and ones like Ratchet and Clank (which uses a catchy toon and cool FMV)is important.
2) Sony should take a note from MSft and advertise like them, because I don't care what you say...nothing beats the commercial from Gears of War from a year ago. I know many people who had no idea what the hell an XBOX was, but wanted it solely based on that commercial.
3) They should advertise games more than Blu-Ray, and also advertise the benefits of PS3 like free online(though it is a bit more shallower than the LIVE online package)

Other than those moot points, this is a great advet to grab attention to people

I think Sony should use more songs like the one in the Ratchet and Clank Ad.

wil4hire6787d ago

Great ad..

Now where is home?`

Real gamer 4 life6787d ago

Wow that add was incredibly sweet is WAY! better then the white room. Good job Sony!!! you finaly makin the right moves.

"And rest assured, we have some secrets and many new games up our sleeves for 2008 as well. We can’t wait to kick it all off!"

I wanna know now sony. what secret game you guys have for the ps3, You guys arent fair you holding back on us.

Salvadore6787d ago

Why did they showcase Home in the ad, isn't it due next year?

smirx6787d ago

yeah, along with GT5. Shoulda showed more Drake & Haze. I sincerely hope they rotate songs each time the commercial airs. For one, I hate that song, and 2. it already started getting on my nerves the second time I watched it! Oh well, doesn't matter since I don't get cable.

masterg6787d ago

Home public beta for everyone is this year.
Official release is next year.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle32d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7732d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde39d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy40d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12539d ago (Edited 39d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7741d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga41d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199240d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga40d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac40d ago (Edited 40d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman40d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger40d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box41d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion40d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7241d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7540d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit40d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14941d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7741d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
