Have we found the next Still Alive?

[Grindstone]

That... was pathetic, worse then the Farcry movie trailer.

And yet it was better than roughtly 80% of most game trailers.

Says a lot about the market's advertising, huh?

Oh, and Oh No You Didn't > Still Alive

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

I find that commercial to be a little too... I don't know how to describe it, pretentious?

How could it be pretentious? The lyrics literally spell out the rediculously insane plotline of the game.

This song makes an epic ringtone.

 

[SargentToughie]

This song makes an epic ringtone.

I second that

Hmm...I question the validity of the circumstances of this song. For example, Samus never gets paid, and SHE never went on a murderous rampage. But then again, there is Nintendo in the way of that...

Good song, though. Very Catchy melody.

Lews: Maybe Samus never gets paid because she always winds up blowing up the ship/planet/galaxy/universe she is in?

 

[Dudemeister]

Great song!
I don't think it's anything like Still Alive.

Her employers run on a 'You break it, you bought it' policy. As you can tell, her wages take a bit of a hit.

As much as I love Still Alive, and anything associated with Portal, this is probably my new favorite video game song.

 

[ElArabDeMagnifico]

Holy crap, I had no idea we could embed youtube videos.

I shall now post God Hand's end credits for the sake of argument and comparison.

There is always a chance.

In all likely hood the people behind Mercenaries 2 understand that going in a different direction, though risky, is the best way to attract attention, and 'Oh No You Didn't' does just that with a tune that grabs your attention and lyrics that make you think, "WTF!"

You have to respect people who are willing to chance walking that fine-line between disaster and success and then jump up and down on it just to see what would happen. ^_^

 

[poleboy]

Meh. Didn't work for me, it seems to be targeted at people I can't identify very well with. I think the game looks great, but this song actually had the opposite of the intended effect on me.

Holy crap, I had no idea we could embed youtube videos.

"God power keep my pimp hand strong?" ... I am so buying that game.

 

[haxolotl]

Weird, not only does it not appeal to me but I can't understand what all the fuss is about. Still, watching the trailer filled me with bemusement rather than rage, so that's a start.

 

[scarbunny]

I saw this on the ad last night and instanly loved it.

Not a fan of Still alive seems pretty dull

The advert is pretty cool too, the way the buildings are made of money

Edit 3, my fav end song from a game.

Isn't this song kinda... old?

And while it's certainly catchy and entertaining, Still Alive is still my fav.


Hmm... wonder no one brought up Treyarch's Lullaby for a Dead Man:
