It's fantastic, love the weapon rack at the start, M1s to M4s up to sci-fi weapons all together.

Potential-Monke

I got shivers watching that!

And to answer your question, Yes.

Grumpypants

Ad is good but could have done with out the previous ad leading us to think a big announcement was coming today.

DirtyBollox

FREAKING AWESOME!!!!

i'll watch this weeks from now and still get shivers from it.

Fnz

Lol, pretty cool ad.

ShadowHearth

i guess i am buying dark souls on ps3 after all....

nullzero

That's a pretty funny ad.
Good attention to detail, like Snake's octocamo kicking in when he leans against the wall.

Damien360

Brilliant.

To Michael !!!

tonydude

Whats to michael all about ?

WhiskeyGoblin

Who is that lady with the Pink hair? Only cameo i'm not sure of..

Amazing advertisment though.

To Micheal! *new standardised victory shout when playing the PS3 *

To Mark,
To Stephen
To Rose
To Jack
To Mary
To Frank..

It's not solely about Micheal, it's thanking gamers, because without us they wouldnt survive, the games industry would not exsist. It's a thank you to everyone.

Also the Metal Gear Solid remote control bot at the start passing the dogs

Talking to Drake?
Lightning from FF13

Captain Chaos

Thought I saw John Shepard in their too. His N7 armor didn't look to good if it was ment to be him.

Sl!mCharles

so cool, love it

2 people I don't know - the cloakroom lady at the start and the barman at the end??

Wetai

Pretty cool. Pity Lightning didn't get a line...

still love this one.

YouSavedMyLife

Wow that was amazing Looked at it 3 times. Really well done, though Kratos looked abit crap.

I actually like the PS3 ads with the people in the hotel all going mad with the The Doors - The End esque song in it, although everyone else hated it

Sephiroth_dude

What a fantastic ad :-D

VinLieger

Yeah its ok, i get where they are going but they dont quite have it yet

What time?

Grayditch

It's brilliant. It's almost tongue in cheek. If it's not meant to be... Then that's somehow better.

I think the one Burgo posted is the best. Sony of the last 90s and early 2000s were untouchable advert wise.

Always sticks in my mind.

Love this one, even though it never made it to TV.

penev10

Good ad alright. Costumes all seemed a bit off but I suppose you can't expect them to be of Hollywood-standard. Isaac Clarke's suit looked particularly off though, not bulky enough or something.

Agreed. How, in a video of weirdos and misfits, did they manage to make him stand out as 'odd'?

irish_stevo815

This is a fantastic video and a great promo for the PS3.
But i have to say, i'm a bit dissapointed because of last weeks teaser video (which went as far as the 2 soldiers walking into the bar area), led us to believe that there was gonna be a big announcemnt coming on October 5th....................................................wait, maybe Sony had predicted the passing of Steve Jobs :eek:
