the amount of easter eggs in the ad puts the easter bunny to shame

[MaximusR3]

lol i think Lady forgot to /sarcasm because she did post it on facebook after all

like I said before, this thing is loaded with easter eggs, here's ones I've noticed that Chinook missed lol


opening part with the parachute is so familiar but i can't put a finger on it. feels very metal gear though. I can't properly see the patch on the soldier but that might give further hint on who they are exactly

eyes in the distant trees as they're walking but again, not sure on what it's meant to be

:24 sweet tooth's icecream truck in the shadows on the left

the sign above the doorway (:25) i believe loosely translates to long live play

:27 the Mk II robot from MGS4 goes around the corner behind the dog. 2 headed dog?

:30 pictures from Parappa the Rappa in the the booth the woman is in

:35 Little Big Planet prize bubble in the offers dish

:38 assorted weapons include ones from resistance, a gunblade from final fantasy 13, and Ratchet's oniwrench from R&C series

Chinook is right, it is Lightning from FFXIII that Drake is chatting with @ :47

:59 behind sweet tooth I thought was Kane and Lynch at first but you get another look at them @ 1:48 so I've got no clue

1:04 the catcher is Joe Mauer, cover player of MLB 10 The Show

1:18 yeah, that's Athena and Kratos. also, above the archway behind them you can see the Playstation logo and again on the wall to the right of Snake @ 1:31

1:45 Ratchet from Ratchet and Clank is between Agent 47 and Ezio

1:50 that's an ISA soldier from Killzone. Some people thought it was supposed to be Rico but I say not even close, just a generic soldier imo. The woman standing to the right of him I know must be from something, the look is familiar but can't pinpoint it



that's about all the ones I can come up with that weren't already mentioned

The Soldiers in parachutes are dressed in classic WW2 Army Uniforms. they are from Call of Duty 2... the master sergeant and the Tech Fourth grade's patch is 82nd Airborne you get a couple of glimpse of it.. but the way that parachute is drap i agree i think that is iconic to another game..
i do see the eyes in the woods
ive seen all the one you pointed out wow great catch's...
i see what your talkin about with kane n lynch it to far to see and then Chele portals in right next to them and it doesn't pan to see them again

I think you guys covered it all. My two cents is this: is it possible the soldiers were from on of the original "Medal of Honor" series games?

I can't figure out who that gal standing next to the ISA soldier is either. I used various search terms but couldn't nail it down. Definitely not Jammer.

[HAVOK]

Isn't the girl at the desk the same girl who broadcasts "The Numbers" in COD:Black Ops....?

[River_Rat_459]

Could be.

[ASignorelli]

Either way it almost made me cry, and the only improvement I could see is if they changed out that 82nd patch for a 101st patch. Clearly the way to go. Bastogne bitches!

[ladym123]

Lol of course I was joking! It's awesome! :D

I just felt like being contrary :rolleyes:;)

[ladym123]

And furthermore...can't wait for the USMG Fancy dress party! :D

So...who would you go dressed as? :rolleyes:

[RookieHunter]

Hello, Brothers in Arms people........Come on man!!! You parachute in, a couple guys get caught in the trees.....You have to find your way to the rest of your Squad....82nd Airborne....at least I think thats who it is

[RookieHunter]

Yeah I looked it up, its Brothers in Arms......the game tells the Story of the 101st and the 82nd.....not only that but the soldier is talking about Omaha Beach in the video......

[River_Rat_459]

Thanks for clarifying!

Saw this article and noted two interesting things:

First, that the ad itself took 5 months to put together, and the fact that their are 15 publishers involved.

Second, this little ditty:


According to Scott Steinberg, Vice President of Product Marketing at Sony, the company plans to be very aggressive with the ad. They plan to spread the campaign to Facebook with an interactive component once it has reached around 50 million view. "We have a lot more of the campaign coming out in social and digital marketing, that turns over some aspects to our fans to personalize. That kind of customization is almost a game itself. It's very interactive and very personal.

I wonder if that means you'd be able have the characters mention your name or something. Maybe it's an animated version that you can customize with characters from games you own.

Maybe wishful thinking, but who knows. You can read the entire article at this link:

if anyone is interested in having their own personalized, shortened version of this commercial, visit this facebook page, The Hall of Play (https://www.facebook.com/PlayStation?sk=app_256946544349323) where the characters say your name instead of michael and your picture is the one they hang up


there is a bit of an intro you have to go through first, where Kevin butler has you read an oath and take a webcam pic (if so desired) for use at the end of the commercial and to display in your hall of play

there is also an amusing random generator for excuses to go play games

Friggin' sweet. I'll have to check that out. Did you get them to say "Maximus"?

[ladym123]

Oh that's so cool...it's nice to know that all the efforts I put into saving all those characters and such, really is appreciated and it's a massive incentive to keep going against all odds! I'm was so humbled to hear them thank me personally, and proudly hang my portrait on the wall.

I must get back to my games as I have really been neglecting so many worlds lately, and they depend on me to save them...they depend on all of us USMG!! Yes we will lose some battles along the way ...but we will always win the war!

HOOAH!!

:cool:

[MaximusR3]

Friggin' sweet. I'll have to check that out. Did you get them to say "Maximus"?

i wanted it to but sadly i was not even given the option, it automatically went with my facebook name. yours should be interesting though, since your facebook name is River Rat. "To River!"

This commercial is eerie after reading this.
