UBI marketing the new Ghost Recon to oversexed teenagers Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 NEXT | |
Man talk about getting the wrong person to do a trailer, that woman is obnoxious as hell, her voice is just grating, not to mention Reality TV star? Are they crazy? What demographic are they aiming for here, and seriously it's a TOM CLANCY GAME! Why are they selling it like this, this is NOT how you announce a Tom Clancy game, you have to talk about the plot and the conspiracy, not show some annoying half naked woman talking about the game while she destroys you're ears with her horrible voice. | |
Doesn't she have one of those reality shows? I keep overhearing commercials for it when my mom watches TV (we're poor. It's a one story house and my bedroom doesn't have a door). Great.. so the greatest thing i feel is wrong with TV comes together with the greatest thing i feel is wrong with advertising to insult me. I was actually interested in this game before. I think ghost recon 3 was my first real PC game. I think I'll skip it just to spite ubisoft. | |
I think I'll pretend this doesn't exist just like I pretend Black Ops doesn't exist. | |
It could well be a joke. Have you seen Ghost Recon Alpha, the prequel mini-series? | |
its such a shame they never made any more ghost recon games after the island thunder expansion. yes im in denial and i like it like that | |
I don't think this is actually a Ubisoft ad. The intro says "complex presents" and the outro sends you to a website that isn't done by Ubisoft. | |
I was expecting some knee-jerk nonsense but this is... just wow, what is the point of this? sex appeal? well that fails because from where I'm standing this woman is (and there is no nice way to say this) hideous. | |
Sorry I must have missed it. Only marketing I've seen is the Live Action Short Movie called Ghost Recon Alpha. | |
well to be honest i was think how the fuck do you do that then i saw the video then it all made sense glad i ignore those videos. doesn't matter to me unless its sci fi or like advanced warfighter(the console version not the broken pc version) i don't care anymore | |
This reminds me of Dragon Age Origins' stupid marketing campaign. Hopefully, like DAO, this new Ghost Recon isn't like that ad. Based on the beta and the gameplay trailers, it isn't, so I'm just going to write this off as advertisers being idiots and wait patiently for the actual product. | |
I have, it was quite good :P | |
Well said. Marketing and then the actual product are two separate things :P | |
No, it doesn't. There is a time and place for wanking, when I want to wank I look up some "favorable" images and get to it. When I want a tactical shooter, ass shots are needlessly distracting. Men (and women) love fantasy of course, but that doesn't mean we want to masterbate while shooting Psuedo guns. Point being, at least for me, when I want porn I look up porn, other times Im perfectly content to not be staring at a married woman's mostly exposed ass. | |
I'm more depressed that a veteran escapist user doesn't know how to embed a video. | |
Video flagged for drug abuse--way too much plastic surgery | |
Yeah. This looks like they got EA to to the marketing for them. | |
What.. She's probably thinking 'Why am I here..?' That's one way to market I guess | |
I had some interest in this game. I think I will just skip it now simply to spite Ubisofts marketing, I will get much more satisfaction from not buying this than I possibly could from buying it.. | |
Ya I've seen that but is it really aimed at oversexed teens, that Gollum creature could hardly get anyone jolly, I'm thinking they actually wanted Mr.Precious himself as the mascot but didn't have the budget so they went for the next best thing. In any case what the fuck were the PR guys thinking, I bet someone is prepping his resume for a new job as we speak. | |
Well, they know the fanbase there trying to go for, ill give them that much. | |
I somehow doubt that's going to attract any of my teen friends. | |
just gripe about ear protection if you want to question her quantification.(no conundrum and it's about safety so no one can call you a gun snob :P) She was firing automatic weapons on an indoor range after all. and at best had wax/foam plugs in the videos | |
ewww why did they hire her for that? They already had a gamestop tv ad for the new ghost recon. They couldn't have stuck with using Steve Blum who voiced Cyrus from dawn of war 2, who's already voice acting in the game as Scott Mitchell and voice acting in the trailer? Captcha: we've got you surrounded | |
I open the link, read the title and think "Coco? Like in Coco Sumner? Aka Eliot Paulina Sumner? FUCK YEAH! My favorite singer! But how can she be "oversexed", she's just skin and bones". Then I watch the video and think... Who the hell is this piece of plastic? And what the fuck UBI? What a horrid ad. | |
If they are going that route, then they should have gotten that Paige from American Guns... http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/american-guns/images/02-paige-american-guns.jpg Someone who might know one end of a gun from the other. Really though I think this is the end of Ghost Recon, bury the corpse, because that game is not the game that Ghost Recon fans want. I remember playing all the games and enjoying the causality - run in and you'll die, get spotted and you'll die, playing on a high difficulty with some friends, knowing that if I die, I don't just respawn - trying to be a good team player and enforce tactics and patience. There's no other FPS games like that, and this game isn't like that as far as I can see. GR was always the best co-op shooter you can get, playing co-op in modern FPS games is just pointless. It's like the smartest FPS just became the fricken dumbest 3rd person shooter, like Ghost Recon had a labotamy, and UBISoft expect us all to follow suit. RIP Ghost Recon, you will be missed, maybe I should fire up GR2 and organise an online wake. | |
Wow. I remember when I was still really young, getting my ass kicked by the AI on the first game. Re-trying missions 4 or 5 times to get all my guys through in one piece, and certain mission events (assaulting a camp etc) several times in order to get the correct positioning and adjustments and shit. I never played any of the sequels, but damn if it hasn't dropped in quality, at least seemingly. I didn't know they could fit sex into military shooters. Just wow. | |
You know I don't usually care about weird-ass/retarded marketing stunts. This one though... I have to wonder how fucking stupid you have to be to hire a guy who hires a guy who thinks THIS is the best idea they can go with. | |
I'm not at all surprised, Ubisoft has become a lot more company-y rather than friendly game maker-y over the last few years. I only watched 1 second since I'm at school so I can't tell but, is this just an add or is there something like this getting into the game as well? If not then what's the big deal? | |
But if it suckered in some moron who basically thought that the hobbit was pretty much a porno but didn't have any bearing on the finished product then I can't really see anything wrong with it. | |
LOL @ people saying shes hideous. Yeah, shes plastic looking, shes kind of a "bimbo", but she is at least "above average" as much as you might try to pretend that isn't true for reasons of integrity or simply denial because you couldn't get her to sleep with you. AND I highly doubt in a real life situation many of you would turn down a blowie from pretty much anyone. Or are we all still stuck in that "asexual" phase, hm? On-topic though, yeah the video is pretty disgraceful. I thoroughly enjoyed all the Ghost Recon games I've played thus far (yes even the Vegas games) and this video makes me think it's aiming for a demographic quite opposite from the fans of the previous games.
Let me start off by saying, sorry to hear that. But also, your bedroom doesn't have a door? and you're 18 years old, and male? How the hell do you masturbate? | |
Buuuuut. The game itself doesn't have anything to do with this Coco, so the game should be fine? | |
I didn't think that the game would take place in Las Vegas, yet, there are hookers and strippers appearantly. Yeah, Ubisoft has really dropped the ball here. | |
You should keep it that way. They were all shit compared to the original. | |
hahaha! deploy tactical blowjob. they are enforcing barneys theory on world peace. | |
