Sony Lifts One to Michael in Awesome PS3 Ad

[Zay-el]

Okay, I don't have and neither plan on getting a PS3, but this is a brilliant commercial. Whoever thought this up deserves a raise.

I was expecting it to end in an advertisement for something along the lines of Sony Smash Bros. Incredible vid either way.

 

[bobmus]

My name is Michael.

Therefore this advert is amazing, even without the replayability of trying to spot all the cameos.

Win.

 

[snfonseka]

Specially love the speech of that soldier from Omaha and didn't anyone notice 47?

 

[satsugaikaze]

Someone needed to point out the Metal Gear Mk II to me before I spotted it.

It's literally there for like, just a couple of frames before it goes off-screen. This video is an Easter Egg gold mine.

I'm unsure who Michael is, maybe that's the point. Epic advert non-the-less!

Michael is just the player.

OT: That was actually prety cool. Though Im sure we'll see an Xbox or nintendo one soon enough. I can only hope (or maybe fear) that navi will float around shouting Hey Listen! and link turns and says well excuse me princess.

 

[Falseprophet]

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.

An ad that makes you want to watch it over and over. That's pretty brilliant, eh?

Not a fan of playstation and sony in general, but hell that is one pretty amazing bit of advertising!

I hate to be the one to do this but imagine a Nintendo version.

Mario: The time he helped me save the princess, and that time he helped me save the princess, then that time he helped me save the princess, then that...

Kirby: Shut up Mario, we get it.

Link: Yes! To Michael, the one who helped me save princess Zelda. Then the time he helped me save

Kirby: *Facepalm*

 

[zorrandur]

This ad seriously made me cry... the hell is that all about?!

Great ad Sony, bloody great ad.

ya know what man. more power to ya! i didn't cry but i got the tingle that turns into a lump that needs a shove to put me into full blown cry. so thats close enough for me fantastic AD.

 

[CRRPGMykael]

OH MY FUCKING GOD OH MY GOD EZIO AUDITORE DA FIRENZE,MY MANCRUSH IS HERE!

 

[holographicman]

i knew being named michael would pay off in the long run

 

[Kurdt766]

made an account just to post in this thread, and ask a question, since no one mentioned it.

anyone else notice the hidden playstation logo? i found it looking for parappa.

 

[steelserenity]

I know it has been asked a few times, but there was no answer so I hope I get one now!
I just can't figure it out, who was the bartender who talks near the end???
Is he a character or just a random guy?? Its seems like a pretty important part for him to just be a random guy!!
Really appreciate the help!

Awesome commercial, best I seen this year...

Still not getting a PS3 though.

 

[AbstractStream]

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

Who is lightning?

And also, who was the barman?

Lightning is the girl with pink hair from Final Fantasy XIII.

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but all of the characters who spoke in this commercial had their voice actors from the games. I loves me some consistent voices, way to go sony
