PS3

At last, SONY's marketing machine is moving forward and the first act is this 3 minutes and 20 seconds short (5 more to come). The object of this film is to cover the "Real-time" aspect of the console, in fact it is more about the benefits of a non-scripted AI.
A short clip of "Resistance - Fall of men" is shown at the end of the video, and yes it is worth it!

Exactly. "This is living..." as in living, breathing, spontaneous, adapting...

But you've also got the double entendre ("You're slumming it on other consoles!"). Brilliant ad campaign.

The video is actually very well put together, and the bits of resistance at the end are incredible, this game really will rock!

I really like the DNA made up of the famous PS symbols, it'd be good as the PS3's start up animation.

i didnt understood what the ad was trying to tell me.

A.I. will always be like a punching bag on all consoles and PC , until a developer, not the console ,creates Actual A.I. that learns from the player , like example you played level 1 , you played it again , this time that level feels different cause the A.I. already studied all your moves from level 1 , 2 , 3 and so on.

Resistance doesnt look like that great, guess im expecting too much from "Next Gen".

Neat commercial though, and resistance does look pretty slick!

Wow that was stupid! A guy was having a good day doing generally what gamers don't actually do, but then she started talking about the guy as a robot. Then he adapts and then she's talking like "real-time" interaction also occurs in PS3. Enough with the "real-time" nickname gimmicky things, Sony! Real-time weapon changing, realtime character changing, what next real-time gameplay where you can actually interact with a game in the 1st place with a controller, lol. If they were talking about AI it misses the point of the PS3, and if you're selling it for its AI you have to truly understand AI doesn't come from hardware, it comes from the DEVELOPERS! But Microsoft had some dumb commercials for 360 but at least they made sense. I swear Sony PRs are like robots who are in a sci-fi world where anything can happen.

Oh and Resistance's AI seemed pretty dumb, standard FPS AI. So what did the commercial prove??

We are facing some problems with the streaming server, but you can still download the video with a much better quality than the flash version.

Sony never fail at marketing, that was a great ad, the game looked pretty good, but not enough footage to judge, but I guess thats the point, create interest in the products.

Streaming vids was other reason why xboxyde and playsyde are my number 1 choice for my nextgen news :(

on a side note, I'll take him on GRRRR

Skip to the end, Jolli, the Resistance footage is great. (Were it COD2 devs it wouldn't be, but it's Insomniac so you know there's more to it than just shooting nazis dressed up like aliens.)

Yeah, you do get the impression one hand doesn't know what the other is doing over at Sony HQ.

Alright got some rest and watched it again and people who say this CAMPAIGN is crap is either blind or is denying the truth.
Weather you LOVE MS, Nintendo, Wii or whatever and even if you hate Sony and/or Playstation brand- This CAMPAIGN in itself is simply genius.
It's to the point and uses every-day analogy to explain the point further.

The delay was ONCE AGAIN an..."interesting" move by Sony but I am sure at TGS they will explain it's because of "demand over production". Not that many people will care and many people WILL once again turn their back to Sony but I think Sony's plan is "Let them hate us all they want since we are not selling anything YET but once we do start to sell the PS3, we will show them what we have and they can't help but be amazed."
So I would say Sony either
A) Has some great stuff in the pipeline for the PS3 and is very confident about their product
B) Is a dumbass company.

And a multi-million international company is not going to be a dumbass.
Sony is playing their hands VERY patiently this gen.

Sony's console still has the games my friend.
Make fun of it all you want. Make Xbot comments all you want. HATE Sony all you want.

We will enjoy our MGS4, DMC4, Resistance, Warhawk, Lair, Motorstorm and many more great titles to come. We will experience them a bit later than anticipated but who cares, it's not the DOOM you all think it is.
The bottom line is- Those words only effect 2% of the console buying world and Sony which has a fan base of 100Million will once again triumph and for good reasons (some of them listed above).

Have your fun bashing a console you don't like, we will have our fun PLAYING a console that we like.
