I'm not trying to jump at the first site of discrimination or anything, but Did anyone else think the perfect dark ad was a little sexist? lol.

What about Killzone 2.The War Perfected ad didnt show real gameplay and you cant do a shot like that in the game.

The 'Believe' ad was fantasmagsm but the key was in the name: be-lie-ve. I waited the whole damn game for that fucking level. So disapointed...

I don't mind it when they go all artistic like in the perfect dark or Halo 3 adds for example but that HAWK add really gets on my tits, and not very impressed with the golf (cant rememba the name of the game and really dont want to either) either. I meen that HAWK add "representative of actual gameplay", bullshit, ultra fast action, panning camera angles, visuals that look they belong in a Spielburg masterpiece, it'd be great to watch but bloody impossible to run on most machines or more to the point even play.
Perfect dark was still an orgasmic game though, and back when I was 10 believe me those graphics didn't look too bad... I'd have shagged her, although come to think of it I wouldent have really known how. I still play it sometimes.

I get what the article means and I agree. But I don't think this article really means they were bad ads, just not representative of the games. I kinda liked the Halo 3 ads. I don't know. Just showed something more creative than in game footage that gets played all the time for every game.

COD 2, I've seen, Perfect Dark I haven't! Holy cow she's hot until they show her and then you're like go back to the bed sheets look lol. Gotta love marketing. Oh and the biggest thing here is that you can do a whole lot more not in real time, being a designer and all I would show off the hard work I put in the CGI as well. Still not showing in game footage, as really what the player sees with interface and all, shouldn't be condoned.

I liked the "Believe" ads and the HAWX ones too. But Halo's was very misleading.
Good Feature!

Hmmmm. Dunno bout all of this. The Halo ad, even if it wasn't representative of the game, was one of the few bits of game advertising that I'd say has some intrinsic value outside of its target audience. I really don't get the hype over the Halo franchise, but I can connect to that ad regardless. I'd say the only one that tops it is the Playstation Double Life ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Bqq38WZctA) which has prose so good it makes me shiver.
With regard to the Dreamcast, I think it's a bit more clever than they say. It's like saying Obama's slogan of "HOPE" was stupid because life sucks. Life does suck, and regardless of his ability or inability to bring hope it's a good advertisement because it explores possibilities. Same with Dreamcast. To put it another way, the implication is that "Maybe 10,000 people to play with because we're a failed console" is a better slogan because it's truthful. Also, almost no one had the net in '98? I didn't have a router then, but I sure as hell had the net.
I'm not trying to be overly critical here, there's some good stuff in the article. It just seems that there are also some weird generalizations and padding that harm the integrity of the article.

I knew COD 2 would be on here.
I always thought that the Halo 3 figurine ads were going for a "History Channel documentary in the future" kinda thing.
