I spotted Chell the first time I watched it, but somehow missed her the second and third time I view it. I cant even finish running a character's name through my head before another two pop up.Irridium said:
I like all the different currency in the payment tray. Materia for the win!
Great job Sony!
the video glosses over a bunch of characters so quickly that it is easy to miss them. I didn't even notice Paul Phoenix or Chell til I watched through it more slowly.
Is it bad that I recognized every single character in this video?
Anyways, terrific ad. Sony has some of the best marketing in gaming, period.

That was a very good ad. Im very surprised that they didn't just use Sony characters.
Also, who is the black girl in the beginning, she looks a bit like chell but i'm not sure.

I'm always rather astounded at how good Sony's advertisement department is. They always manage to make such memorable commercials.
That was a pretty awesome ad. Great to see so many characters together.
And, I'm wondering if that was actually Nolan North playing Drake. I've seen his picture before, it looked like him.
Regardless, great ad. Props Sony, better than your previous PS3 ads.

I was laughing when I saw Lightning and Solid Snake. Really awesome ad.
Sony should make more like this.

I think what he means is that, in an advert about "the player," it's odd that they chose to give him a name and a face at all- since it necessarily limits what should be an open fantasy. As it stands, the commercial is limiting "the player" to young white males in general, and those named "Michael" in particular.Zachary Amaranth said:
I think it would be better if the player was a faceless diety-like character with a generic title like "the user" or "the player."
Edit: Oh, wait, never mind, I thought you were quoting someone else.
But yeah, I think it should have been a nameless character to encompass anyone who plays these games.
Anyone else instantly think the cantina(sp?) scene from Star Wars?
Very epic ad overall, loved the mix of Sony and third party characters.

I even saw Paul from Tekken there. Ratchet, Sackboy and Ezio all look pretty cool, but Old Snake and Drake were the best!
One big call-out to all gamers.
