i just saw an ad on tv for the punisher video game. it occured to me that volition (assuming the game doesnt blow) has a chance to etch their logo on the braincase of many a gamer. not to get overoptimistic or anything, it wouldnt fit my nature, but this is kinda cool.

If only the advertised Freespace on TV but other than that

Nuke · **Reply #2 on:** January 17, 2005, 01:25:29 am

Nuke · **Reply #4 on:** January 17, 2005, 02:21:47 am

i didnt know summoner was advertised

Clave · **Reply #5 on:** January 17, 2005, 06:46:49 am

Yeah, they do advertise on obscure channels at random times, I have seen Summoner and Red Faction pimped on UK television in the past....

About the only game I've ever seen on TV was Halo 2. And the Australian campaign for that covered virtually the entire city...

GTA?

And isn't the Punisher game meant to be a steaming heap of dung?

Mad Bomber · **Reply #8 on:** January 17, 2005, 11:04:41 am

I heard an ad for MechAssault 2 on the radio this morning.

Yeah, it's not [V], and the idea of Mechassault is a bastardization of everything that I as a Battletech fan believe in, but at least video games are starting to get advertised.

Now if only FS2 had been advertised...

I've heard some good things about the Punisher. A friend and I were at the local Gamestop outlet the other day, just browsing around. We spoke to the clerk about release dates for upcoming games, and he said he'd been able to play a copy of the Punisher. He claimed that he stuffed a live grenade in a bad guy's mouth, and that the mook turned and ran away from him... only to have his entire torso explode. In another instance, he said he threw a guy out a window and into a pool of pirahna.

Sounds like fun to me. :devil:

I see loads of games advertised on the telly. Often by wee companies like Digital Jester (who sponsor Battlestar Galactica on sky one IIRC)

Marauder · **Reply #11 on:** January 17, 2005, 01:08:01 pm

Yeah, saw that ad a few days ago here in TO. I hope the game does well. Also once saw one on Red Faction.

Advertising FS2 would've been awesome...

Night Hammer · **Reply #12 on:** January 17, 2005, 02:28:14 pm

yeah i remember seeing one for Red Faction, and I just saw the Punisher one

That was one big marketing campaign but atleast it did it's job well.

Thorn · **Reply #14 on:** January 17, 2005, 04:17:47 pm

The first game I saw advertised on TV was Mechwarrior 3. I'll never forget the image of that Thor stepping on that poor, helpless soldier.

Rictor · **Reply #15 on:** January 17, 2005, 04:24:50 pm

I don't think I've ever actually seen a PC game advertised on TV, just console games (the exception being Everquest in theatres)..

FireCrack · **Reply #16 on:** January 18, 2005, 06:07:05 pm

If FS2 was advertise thered be a huge influx of n00bs. Not new people, just people who will make you pull your hair out.

Falcon · **Reply #17 on:** January 18, 2005, 06:20:53 pm

Most of the games I see advertised are either on Sci-fi or G4TechTV.

If Freespace 2 were advertised a long time ago we would be playing Freespace 4 by now.

Taristin · **Reply #18 on:** January 18, 2005, 07:22:25 pm

I saw the Punisher comercial, but it never mentioned Volition... only THQ in conjunction with Marvell Comics.

Antares · **Reply #19 on:** January 18, 2005, 09:24:09 pm

If Volition is a THQ subsidiary now, then they probably don't get their own studio billing.
