I hope so...seems like Sony still slacks in this area. I think there should have been a commercial on for MGS4 every two minutes.

good this is what they need show consumers what you got they need to adopt this kind of campaign for resistance 2 motorstorm 2 little big planet and killzone 2 as well

They should also make use of their Profile 2.0 and include it as an ad for Sony Picture BD movies. And how about a film trailer similar to what they did for MGS4!?! That may reel people in?!? :)

they need to do this for every game they have, they did some for bf:bc, but they need to start doing more advertising, maybe bring back last holiday seasons commercials only with updated games

@Terminator
Do remember, that bf:dc is an EA game, and multiplatform. I agree that ALL companies should be marketing their games appropriately. However, Marketing doe snot come without a price, hundreds upon thousands of dollars are spent at press coverage alone, let alone the cost of TV advertising and Viral Marketing. Advertisement firms are not cheap, and the companies behind each product need to make incredibly straegic decisions which products to plunk down the cash into.
 

Say you have 500gs to spend on markerting, and your Take Two Interactive

To fully advertise GTA4 to its greatest extend, itll cost upwards of $300,000
You other product, Manhunt for the Wii, will cost $300,000 to advertise fully and on the same level. Obviously GTa4 is going to sell more so push the scales in its favor to $450,000 for that extra push to crank the hype machine past riveting ends, and make one **** of a successful launch, and spend $50,000 advertising a game that no ones going to care about for nearly as long of a run.

of course i pulled the numbers out of thin air, but you get the point :)

is this the hero free roam gamee yeah ?? cos it looks amazing !!! XD

oh and is it a sony exclusive ??

This game deserves it! But I wanna know if I should call it an RPG, or rediculously awesomeness? Or both lol!

I can't wait for this game... tIt seems like the choice-based gameplay is going to give it a TON of replayablity.

it might have rpg elements but i dunno.. i would say its just pure kickazz!

they should do the same with Little Big Planet for sure

MGS4 was not advertised much because the people who were going to buy it bought it and the people who werent going to buy it didnt buy it, its one of those games some people like and some people dont. A game like this is different from all the shooters and will probaly atract alot of new players because the game is looking awesome! ive never played any other sucker punch games but im sure they were alot of fun too. LBP should also be getting alot of advertisment!

why this game? it's lame... looks like dark sector or something. nothing special.

I agree! Sony needs to invest much more in ads. Magazines, TV, Virals, Radio Spots. Microsites, emails and anything is possible. Even billboards and Bus ads.

Sony if you need help please let me know.

:D

 Good because inFAMOUS is going to be complete ownage, this has literally all the sudden become one of my most anticipated games from Sony.

as long as this game lives up to the hype it'll be a good thing they finally start the ads for ps3 exclusives, unfortunately if it pulls off another lair fiasco they may be in trouble... lets hope for the best though :P

To be honest, I've seen a lot of MGS4 advertising.  Heck, even Qore episode 2 STILL had ads for the game.  I'm thinking you guys just been enjoying MGS4 so much you've just missed all the ads.

go ps3!!!!!!!!!

Sony should be doing this with most of their big titles from now on. MS seems to do a good job of it, I don't see why Sony shouldn't either.

yeah i know. Killzone and Resistance need this support too!!!!!!!

psn id: gingo... its about time sony decided to heavily market a game as they have had big games in the past and decided to just hope tht the gamers will know they are coming and buy them and what they dont realise is that the marketing is how the copies get sold

why didnt they do this for mgs4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

still to this very day i havent seen a mgs4 tv ad or a ad in general.

except for the web on game sites.

of course!!
