Thorgi Duke of Frisbee Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Those the actual voice actors that play the characters? They all sounded proper, so they either hired lookalike actors and dubbed over, or the actual actors put in an appearance. Anyway, Sony's a weird company when it comes to advertising. Their ads have never made me want to buy stuff from them, but they're always entertaining. They also all look pretty damn expensive to pull off.

Strangelove Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Wow. I was doubting this commercial having its own topic, but then I saw it. Awesome. Its funny how movies can never get the character's look down when it comes to games, scifi, superheroes etc., yet here we are. Theyre all very faithful to their game counterparts, yet I dont think any of them would feel too "gamey" in a real film. I understand Wolverine not having yellow spandex in the films, it would look awful, but if they ever make an Uncharted or an inFamous movie, I doubt itll look as good as this. Theyll change it just cus they can. Assholes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toxicitizen Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Those the actual voice actors that play the characters? They all sounded proper, so they either hired lookalike actors and dubbed over, or the actual actors put in an appearance. Dubbed over. Nathan Drake and Solid Snake had the voices of Nolan North and David Hayter respectively. But that wasn't them playing the characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredEffinChopin Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Haha I was wondering if anyone mentioned this on here today. That commercial is fantastic. Possibly the best I've ever seen for a game console (no offense to the Atari 2600 rap). My name being Michael helped too. Drake and Snake in particular were kind of eerie in how similar they looked to the "real" ones. Others too, but it's not as impressive of a feat with characters like Sackboy and Isaac. The intro could be shorter, but whatever. Great stuff, I got a good laugh out of it. *edit* I just looked again... Is that Isaac? It could just be the fact that I haven't played the game, but on a frozen frame it doesn't resemble him as much as I thought at first... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Fantastic! I wonder if this is from Deutsch Inc., the ones responsible for giving us Kevin Butler. Fun Fact: They're the ones behind his Twitter account and his E3 2010 speech. You didn't seriously think Jerry Lambert would write that himself, right? EDIT: Yep, it's Deutsch Inc. http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/kevin-butler-returns-playstation-new-campaign-launch-134521 Just in case anyone missed this one too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40CYAx4qc5E Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
