Serena Williams and Rileah Vanderbilt take their clothes off (...)
I don't know what's wrong with your eyes, but they're wearing clothes. Quite a lot of them, actually.

keep your "racist" claims to yourselve.
I will when you learn to spell "yourself" and use proper capitalization.
Seriously?

That?s all you got from all I wrote?

Weak argument there buddy, if you didn´t noticed I´M NOT FROM THE UNITED STATES

Disregarding my entire post for some mistakes is kind of bigot aren´t you?

And racist because I?m not from your country

Maybe you should focus more on the content of a post instead of the proper grammar, or would you like to discuss matters on my language?, I?m sure you wouldn?t be able to utter 2 sentences without making a mistake, but hell! I?m all for equal opportunity, let?s talk in Japanese!, neither of us knows Japanese, so we both would be making hundreds of mistakes!!

Just think a little before implying a person is less intelligent just because he makes some mistakes.

I could understand if the game itself were trying to be sexy, dead eyed android replicas of tennis players in a frankly boring adaptation of a sport that is itself decidedly boring is not in any way arousing.

Then again getting 2 ugly but physically fit looking women and declaring it's sexy was also a spectacular fail on their part.

i feel sorry for tyhe lone pervert who falls for this ad. He/She is in for a dissapointment.

Whoaa.... Seriously? WTF?
If i would've played tennis dressed like that when i used to play professionally, i would've won every tournament. Without actually playing.

Anyway, Serena looks decent in this video. On court, she looks kinda bad.
Just my opinion, people.

On the topic of the ad, I think they could of found better looking tennis players but it is what it is. I've seen equally off putting ads in both television and movies. I'm not all that moved one way or another.

However, the bigger thing I noticed that really makes me scratch my head was the part at the end about legitimacy and gaming. Are gamers and the gaming industry such an insecure lot that they need a pat on the head and an "atta boy" from the rest of the world when it comes to their past time. What in the blue hell does it matter if gaming is legitimized or not. Furthermore, what the hell does it matter what anyone else thinks of your hobbies. I spend my free time in ways I enjoy and I couldn't be bothered to give three moldy pieces of rat shit what anyone else thinks.

Every time I hear some gaming journalist or gamers talk about legitimizing gaming I can't help but think about high school and those kids that wanted soooo badly to fit in with the "in" crowd. Just like those pathetic fools the harder you try the worse you look and in the end neither them nor gaming as a whole will be any closer to your end goal.

If gaming/gamers really want to get respect and acceptance from the rest of the world they should just do their own thing and not worry about what anyone else may think. In the end either you will get that oh so precious "legitimacy" or you won't but at least you won't look like a tool.

Now if only Serena Williams was actually hot this might be enjoyable.

This. It wasn't all that bad anyway. I mean I think all that, "This wont help gaming's image" stuff is a load of bs...

Realistically if they aren't going to take it seriously... No amount of somber serious advertising will change that.


Just find hotter girls for these videos.

...Which is probably why you misunderstood why other posters were complaining about racism; it's not because they aren't attracted to black women. But you seem like a nice enough person who would rather not indulge in bickering arguments, so you are free to go

Will someone please explain to me why this site seems to always freak out when sexuality and games marketing are mentioned in the same sentence?
After the we dare debacle I hoped escapist wouldn't continue to fuel the flames by attacking anyone who dares combine the two.

Tennis to some is sexy. Physically fit women in skimpy skirts running back and forth doing all sorts of grunting. Is this really much worse than most Nike ads?

Look at that quote from 2k backpedaling and disassociating itself from the commercial. It sucks now that every developer needs to walk on eggshells in fear of creating something that might not live up to some old fart movie critics definition of art.

Did you even read through the comments? Half of them were complaining that Serena just isn't sexy, and suggesting their favorite tennis players who could've played a better role. Preferably in skimpy skirts.

It was simply badly done, and will be subject to criticism.

I thought the commercial was clever, painting this uber grrl-power quasi-dominatrix image of tennis, while highlighting the effort involved in actually playing the game. At the same time it showed shots of the actual game which was nothing like the wild scene unfolding in front of us, and the comment at the end only cemented the fact that the whole thing was ridiculous. It grabbed our attention, highlighted features of the game, and finished off by taking the piss out of itself.
Well, to you perhaps, but the rest us saw...

... a video of a shaved gorilla swinging a glow in the dark dildo to a porn movie OST...
Despite the fact that the standards of what is sexy to half of the commenters being impossibly high (she may not be perfect but she is pretty) and despite the fact that in many places referring to an African American as a gorilla is considered EXTREMELY racist, I'd just like to point out that I was referring to the actual article and it's biased look at the ad.

If you don't find her attractive or the commercial well done that's fine, but I don't see it as fair for the OP to treat the ad as if it was doing harm to the gaming community, and it saddens me to see 2k caving to the slightest of pressure. Just like when ubisoft pulled We Dare to please protesters even though the ratings board gave them a fair shake.

Huh... well regardless of the many contemplations I have towards the trailer, none of them matter because I still don't want to buy the game.

What bugged me is that it was given an ESRB rating of 'E'.... E!
I don't care if no flesh was shown, that's some serious T&A right there.

Huh....tennis sure has changed alot since the last time I flipped by the sports channel. Maybe if they have clothing from the video being standard I'll have to tune in to watch. Not with Serena Williams though. /shudder

This is what makes people assume the gaming industry is immature. /sigh The worst part is she isn't all that attractive. If you're going to go down this road at least go with the right material. Oo

I'll be honest. I got to the 27 second mark and turned it off. I feel uncomfortable watching that.
Same here, it just made me cringe. Being at work in the office doesn't help either.
