Comments on: Five Blockbusters Sony Failed To Properly Advertise http://www.gamesthirst.com/2010/02/06/five-games-sony-failed-to-properly-advertise/ News Gamers Thirst For Sat, 13 Feb 2010 02:26:21 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: RespawnAction http://www.gamesthirst.com/2010/02/06/five-games-sony-failed-to-properly-advertise/comment-page-1/#comment-3811 RespawnAction Sun, 07 Feb 2010 17:31:29 +0000 http://www.gamesthirst.com/?p=3625#comment-3811 Also, maybe it is better that PS3 shooters, like MAG and KZ2 for example, don't sell to the masses. That way only the (ugh,lack of a better term) "hardcore" people buy it, keeping the kiddies and dummies away that play the game lone wolf. MAG is doing just fine now, with only a handful of those idiots running around by themselves. In time they too will trade it in and say the game sucks cause they keep dying, which will benefit everybody. I think in this case MAG's lack of advertising actually helped it, and the game is a lot better. Also, maybe it is better that PS3 shooters, like MAG and KZ2 for example, don’t sell to the masses.

They shouldn't expect people that don't read gaming news to know about their games if they aren't advertising them constantly.

White Knight Chronicles got the shaft for such a good game I didn't see one peep in my market another stellar title left on the fringes of the hardcore gamer. Uncharted 1 got a ps3 bundle pack but other than that I didn't even recognize or hear about it until my friend said you ever play Uncharted and I said what the racing game he lol'ed and preceded to turn me on to one of ps3's best new IP. Then Uncharted 2 releases and I didn't even see one commercial then when the media and gamers blew up the airwaves and cyberspace recognizing a GOTY then Sony opens up the wallet and I saw a bunch of publicity for it pushing it into GOTY status. So Sony what's going to happen with Heavy Rain are you going to wait and test the waters?
