Yah, pre-rendered cut-scenes showing off flashy 300 style moves and very little gameplay footage, let me get my popcorn lol


You know, comments like these only work if you have not already been known to exist on these forums before all the new PR came out.

Ive been playing games for a long time, and pre-rendered mini movies seem to be the norm for marketing games so relax and take a joke.

Every single post you've made has been either a giant strawman or a hyperbole. So *excuse* me if I took you seriously.

The forums will love or hate it either way, like they always do. The ones that don't think DA2 is going to be successful will view it as a victory, the ones that do will view it as a victory as well.

I kindly suggest less Marylin Manson this time though.

If your going to go with that music style you gotta keep it classy, get Ozzy.


Darn!

*SPOILER ALERT*

We've already gotten Marylin Manson to do all voice overs and sound effects for every character in game.  In fact, our next trailer will include 3 of his tracks playing at the same time (layered on top of eachother!)

:C

I kid, I kid.


All my dreams, have come true!

superbowl ad please. its only like 3 million bucks

Hehe, that would be so awesome. Hey, maybe the reason marketing has
been so low key up to this point is because they've infact been saving
up for a big superbowl ad? ../../../images/forum/emoticons/w00t.png



EA marketed Dante's Inferno during the Superbowl



something like that could garner new gamers for DA2

It most certainly would. Last year's Super Bowl got 106 million viewers. [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/wink.png[/smilie] 3 million for a 30 second spot would be more than worth it, I say.

Sounds great! But if for some reason that doesn't come to pass, it's okay. We'll settle with  Marylin Manson as a party member.

I don't understand this strategy... why aren't they building hype?

Actually the music that would make the game utterly transcendent would be kpop like SHINee or Girls Generation. What could be better?

LOL. That’s a good one, definitely. Image IPB
 
Well, that’s explains it: Marylin Manson is the missing companion of the party. Thanks for sharing it with us. Let’s keep it a secret till he gets official announced. Image IPB

I want my TV ads to be as vague as the first one, if not, vaguer.

When DAO was released, Discovery Channel bombarded me with the Sacred Ashes Trailer. Literally.
Every two commercials you'd see that trailer at least once.

I hope they don't pull that trick again. xD

That would make it "transcendent"?

If you're joking, you're a genius. If you're serious, you're a lunatic!

Kashmir by Led Zep is my choice. Yeah I have the musical taste of a 50 year old man...I was born old.

I expect we will see some TV marketing the last week of Feb. As I recall, ME2 stuff didn't show up until them but was on ESPN a LOT that last week.



They are going to market where the most attractive demo is, so ESPN, Spike, SyFy etc. Of course, we may not want to admit it but guns (even space guns) play better with the ESPN crowd than swords.



The point of marketing though is to inform those who have NOT yet made a purchasing decision. Folks who go to IGN, Gamespot, etc every day know about DA2 and have probably mostly made their minds up.



Remember, every dollar DA2 spends on marketing is a dollar it has to make back in sales to be considered a success.

I hope everything gets packed within the last week. I think it's because the estimated hype exitement only lasts for a week, the next we'll be the same hating mob.

They used up the budget on voice acting and awesome things happening when you press a button

I'm not sure that he implied anything in that quote.

1st of all, MM > Ozzy



Second, yeah, show us some damn gameplay footage. I have the game pre-ordered but i will honestly cancel if nothing more is shown.. I have a lot of faith in Bioware, more than most people here, but not THAT much... I want to know what it is i'm actually buying.
