PS advertising a little dull? (PC Gamer)

[2coasts]

Ive noticed in the latest PC Gamer issue that they continue to buy the first two pages with a fold out, yet they use the old grainy pictures of all the NC tanks and soliers lined up. They have used this for a few months now, the exact same add.
This one, but extra grainy for some reason: http://planetside.station.sony.com/screenshots/New-Conglomerate-Army.jpg

Now why dont they use an atleast impressive screenshot or something for the main attraction of the add, I mean if I didnt know abut PS that add would not attract me...

Think back to the big shot that Sierra used for Tribes 2 the month before release, a big sharp picture that showed a huge landscape with bases and about 30+ players spread out over it fighting, was much better. Is someone asleep at the marketing desk at sony? wasting wasting money...

All of the ads I've seen, would convince me *not* to buy the game. It looks like a garage game to me (from the ads).

Don't know why they use old stuff like that :(

[kid klash]

maybe it's a conspiracy...

not only that but if you look at the TR ad next to big picture you will notice that it is a picture of a Vanu. LOL i find it funny.

maybe theyre just fucking lazy and choose the first pic they see and slap it on an add...

im sure they will bust out sweetass ones when they release a major story on it....if they ever do:mad: :(

You'd think that all the previews would've been enough.

for some reason they left it out of the huge 2003 preview, which had a list of like 150 games that will and might come out this year...

Hope it doesn't turn out like Conquest: Frontier Wars because of bad publicity.

lol that same picture is in PC GAMER the first page O.o

Blame marketing. They probably received a pack of screenshots a while back and thought that one looked suitably military with oppressive undertones or something daft. :rolleyes:

Marketing just needs a good kick in the ass and get it in gear...

Well least the newest official trailers look pretty cool =)
