inFamous commercial lights up your TV

by Andrew Yoon { May 26th 2009 at 12:00PM }

Shock! It looks as if Sony is actually going through with inFamous' promised multi-million dollar marketing campaign. This TV spot was found by a tipster, haran_elessar. The 30 second promo highlights Cole's electrifying powers, and hints at the morality system central to the game's plot. You'll be able to play the game for yourself this week, but if you want another tease, check out GameTrailers' exclusive release trailer after the break.

I'm too busy gaming to watch TV..
Never been good with morale systems.. It's so much easier to be evil..

Not for me. Extremely difficult for me to be evil in games. Even in games where you are the bad guy. If I am given any choice, I always go for the the good or neutral choice. But I imagine most people find it easier to be evil.

I was so surprised to see this last night while watch the Lakers v Nuggets game. Cant wait to get my copy of inFamous in the mail soon though.

Wow I think that's a great ad, I like that it really emphasizes the comic book considering how most Americans get swept into the entire comic book movie shit.

Anyone find that PS3 logo at the end extremely similar to the one on that slim box?

j.howlett @ May 26th 2009 12:16PM

i saw that on raw, flipping between that, basketball, and link on history channel.

James @ May 26th 2009 12:18PM

Well, considering how America flips the hell out over every comic book movie, it's good that they emphasized that in the ad. I thought it was very good for a Sony one.

Anyone notice that PS3 logo at the end is almost exactly the same as that one on the box of the slim?

InFaMoUs1- @ May 26th 2009 12:23PM

yeah that was pretty odd usually they have the the entire "PlayStation 3" logo.

also how they said playstation at the end seems sony is trying to go back to its roots

great tv ad

The end brought up so many gaming memories,It seems Sony is starting to get things together like the good old days.btw It was a sweet commercial I'am going to pick up my copy later today.

Polkster @ May 26th 2009 12:53PM

Anyone else notice the PS3 logo at the end no longer says "PlayStation 3" but says "PS3", ala that rumored redesign?

willskate4free @ May 26th 2009 1:39PM

good catch bro... hmm... more fuel to the slim fire?

TekTro @ May 26th 2009 4:47PM

yep i saw that. Making me think oooo Sonys planning on upping their game.

PN04 @ May 26th 2009 6:33PM

Actually they probably just shortened it because the slow plodding plaaaaayyyystaaatioooon 3 logo wasted to much time at the end of a comercial and usually gets cut off half way into the animation. Besides PS3 better connects the brand recognition with the mega successful PS2.

Glad to see they are marketing games more now...

TheSaiyan @ May 26th 2009 1:56PM

im normally good in these types of games, but in the demo, being evil was just WAAAY too much fun :D

stephen2005 @ May 26th 2009 2:12PM

I went to see Star Trek this past weekend and the same commercial was aired. Looked pretty awesome on the big screen.

Glad to see Sony doing some type of advertising for a game.

RasenganFury @ May 26th 2009 2:58PM

Saw this on Adult Swim Sunday night. I was impressed. Seems Sony is getting better at marketing, plus the "Playstation" sound at the end made me remember some of their old commercials.

jarhead906 @ May 26th 2009 4:09PM

I've missed you, Japanese accented Playstation. I believe it's spelled: "Playstashone".

Good job on Sony's part for going back to its roots. It makes me feel all tingly inside.

Great ad
Great Game
Easy Platinum got it May 26th 1:03 AM :D

razgriz94 @ May 26th 2009 6:00PM

This is the same exact commercial that is being shown in the theaters now.
It's an awesome ad, I just wish it was a little longer, and included some more of te gameplay. Sony needs to air this for like the next month. Not just a week or two like they do with their other games. I want people to see this ad so many times, that they become brain washed and go buy a PS3, and the game for every single person in their family. ;D
