SOE trailer on PS2 is reallly oddbird.


I thought it was fine until--

"SIZE. ALWAYS. MATTERS."

-watch near the end-

Obviously it's a innuendo, double meaning about the game itself is Massive (strictly speaking) Multiplayer Online, and trying to make you feel less of a man.

But...Why? Think they couldn't have come up with a better catch phrase for the game. I mean it's odd, cos' the trailer didn't come off as a CoD slugfest, or else they wouldn't have added in the voiced exposition on what the fractions were about "We're the NC, freedom, blah blah." "We're the TR, duty blah blah. "We're the Vanu, blah blah blah.." so on and so forth. If it was targeted to Codfish people, wouldn't it make more sense to just throw in heavy metal music and lots of gun shots and explosions a la micheal bay-it-up--if it was targeted to them? Would make more sense to me.

It seems to me, from the trailer at least that SOE is trying to have one's cake and eat it as well, tailoring to those that give a shit on what/who is. As well as squeezing in the last bit to appeal to the xbox crowd..Size. Always. Matters. A little clever, but not really..

Futhermore, perhaps, I think, it has to do with the idea of the subconsious mind going "buy the game, and it'll make you feel less inadequte" so basically, ya.. It seems like it's attracting the whole male Xbox-Live crowd. Could be good..Could be bad.

Thoughts? Is the trailer good or is it bad? Should SOE work on better material? Will the Back to the Future Reboot be any good? Post below..
