To compete with the other thread, what were some games that got advertised in cool, creative ways that you actually appreciated?
I don't have any long anecdote; I just really like the weird BioShock Infinite ads that didn't even show much the game. They're made in the style of "In Search Of", a series of American "documentaries" from the 70s about some paranormal topics. Example of "In Search Of":
And here are the BioShock ones, the "Truth from Legend" trailers, clearly going for that style:
The audio work is so fucking good. I'm curious who their fake Rod Serling is. How many BioShock Infinite potential buyers would even get the reference? It's just so bizarre and...not mass market.
What game trailer and advertisements did you think were just rad, regardless of whether they actually sold the product well or not?
