[General Discussion] Videogame advertising

Yeah... soo stole someone's thunder from another forum with this one which shall remain nameless but it hasn't been done here so I thought I'd give it a shot.

The modern videogame adverts are infamous for often not actually showing ANY ingame footage at all, whereas the classics were the worst for cheesy concepts (nintendo rap anyone?) wtf moments or catchphrases to sell it like "genesis does what nintendon't!" The point of this thread is to share your favorite adverts, discuss the whole way games are advertised and what they do wrong and right in your opinion.

I'll find more later but for now I'll start the ball rolling with this classic commercial video of failure on SEGA's part at dissing... well you'll see...

You are not worthy? lol...

Spoiler:

if what they say on this is true, the Saturn must have been hard to specifically code games for, while still making full use of all that power it boasted and/or it was ahead of it's time... kinda reminds me of another console still yet to truly prove itself but I'll say no more on that subject =P

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sorry I must have phrased this thread badly I just wanted to talk about game adverts in general I was just over analyzing my example that's all ^^;

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nice to see this thread is starting to get some good posts now I was going to show you guys some of the lol UK adverts I remember but the only one I could find was this

how'd he do that...

I remember the guy with the weird glasses was in a lot of Sega adverts (like mocking a roadkill hedgehog puppet on a sonic 2 advert for example) and most of them were pretty high on the wtf scale

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
