OMG at Resistance Leviathan (ad) attacking building

by Andrew Yoon { Oct 20th 2008 at 10:00PM }

Wow, that sure is a Leviathan-sized ad plastered over the side of this building over Wilshire Avenue in Los Angeles. The ad is noteworthy, not only because its scale -- but because it accurately depicts what you'll be facing off in Resistance 2.

Check out more pics at G4.

[Thanks, Mozz!]

Perhaps the sickest ad of all time.

playcrackthesky @ Oct 20th 2008 10:20PM

Only complaint is that "Playstaiton 3" should be printed in a bigger font.

lorddshadow @ Oct 20th 2008 10:40PM

i need that as a t-shirt *looks at hot topic*

parkd @ Oct 20th 2008 11:25PM

Yup, Sony should advertise like this all the time... :D

sean @ Oct 20th 2008 10:09PM

damn. thats crazy

acedoh @ Oct 20th 2008 10:11PM

Pretty amazing looking ad. I wonder how high profile of a location that is. I would like to see a similar ad in San Francisco since that is where part of the game is supposed to take place.

This building is on Wilshire Avenue...it's one of the largest streets in the westside of LA. It runs straight through Santa Monica (where E3 was held a year back if I remember correctly).

It's a pretty high profile center in a city without much centralization. It's right next to The Grove (fancy, crowded mall), a popular farmer's market, and CBS Studios. Huge center of shopping and what not. A lot of companies in that particular building, too.

I drafted the emergency procedures manual for that building! You can rest assured, if a Leviathan does start rampaging through L.A., the tenants of that building will be informed of where to flee in terror.

ImpurePhoen1x @ Oct 20th 2008 10:12PM

..ok that is epic, i can't wait to face the leviathan head to head and bring that sucker down

Hotrod @ Oct 20th 2008 10:13PM

I agree, but I can't handle the hype anymore!

Rock @ Oct 20th 2008 10:18PM

Isnt that the Leviathan, not the Goliath

Devin @ Oct 20th 2008 10:19PM

Now they just need to place another one somewhere except replace Goliath with a Sackboy, and then they got another great ad! (compliments of me of course)

TBAdrift @ Oct 20th 2008 10:24PM

Ad is crazy. But the Korea Center being under the big monster is even funnier.

DrunkRaba @ Oct 20th 2008 10:31PM

THIS is the kind of advertising Sony needs to do, some high profile stuff. Next is, actual commercials on all channels! Crazy idea that.

Nick @ Oct 20th 2008 10:32PM

That's incredible. I don't care if you like Sony or not; that's pretty damn awesome.

itchy18 @ Oct 20th 2008 10:37PM

Tim Parsons @ Oct 20th 2008 11:10PM

tinyEvel @ Oct 20th 2008 11:13PM

J/K This is pretty rad.

ChocoDK @ Oct 20th 2008 11:36PM

Wow that ad on the building is so AWESOME! Resistance 2 beta is so amazing also. I can't wait to play the full game. Thanks for posting this I love the ad.

LatinoLA1 @ Oct 21st 2008 12:03AM

Now that is pretty cool, and a really big ad... can't wait

Khaled @ Oct 21st 2008 12:37AM

That's cool, but they need to put a big PLAYSTATION 3 up there.

And what's up with the OMGs' today??

ryan @ Oct 21st 2008 12:43AM

damn good thing it's a leviathan instead of Nathan Hale.

Scilent @ Oct 21st 2008 2:55AM

What will the Obama campaign think of next?!?

Resistence 2 you say? Ohhhhhhhhhh.

Seriously nice job Sony :)

Lard @ Oct 21st 2008 7:34AM

Way to bring up 9/11 right after censoring a game for Muslims Sony!

Mr. Joe @ Oct 21st 2008 2:30PM

um.. what?

Dahk @ Oct 21st 2008 7:43AM

Lmao Andrew, I like your new headlines.

And HOLY FRIGGIN' CRAP that's SICK.

PSN ID -- TheUnforgivenII @ Oct 21st 2008 8:37AM

A-w-e-s-o-m-e.

naxe @ Oct 21st 2008 9:11AM

Looks fake to me.......... look at the Palm tree in the foreground it looks like its blurred into the ad..........

Dont get me wrong i do think its Friggin' Sweet. But looks a little Photoshopped..

and Resistance is getting the royal treatment from sony. its alot of hype tho. game isnt all that great in my opinion. Just another FPshooter with aliens.
