Television Adverts

[Guest]

Personally id love to see a T.V advert on HL2 it would kick the ass, Freeman would totally kill lara

Avertisment: Halflife 2 *end of advertisment*
Then all heck breaks loose.

I've never seen a PC game advertised on TV. Usually just some microsoft-sponsored Xbox brainwashing shit.

splintercell and many more her in the uk
:cheese:

 

[commando]

i have seen LOADS of games on tv!

MEDAL OF HONOUR ALLIED ASSAULT, FRONTLINE, warhammer one, Zelda, indiana jones

 

[manny_c44]

Let me re-word myself: I've never seen a PC specific commercial.

 

[commando]

odd world, splinter cell... FIFA

 

[No Limit]

I would love to see it too, but honestly I don't think I ever will. Almost everyone that is into computer games knows about half life 2, there is no point in valve spending $100,000s of dollars to simply entertain us.

 

[Guest]

Since when is the point of advertising entertainment!?!?

 

[Deadline]

Once HL2 comes out for the X Box there will be commercials... guarenteed.

 

[kinggi]

most pc gamers have already gotten all the advertiseing theyll need with the internet. Ive never seen a pc only game advertised before on tv.

"For killing the combine, there is no power greater than X."

Laughing Out Loud!

 

[Pulse*]

lol imagine it...

*start* HL² *pause* Out tommorow. *finish*

*all hell breaks loose as thousands of people worldwide grab their tents to camp outside their local game stores*

 

[commando]

if the HL2 comes out on TV adverts, then you could DL it online

 

[Sirdenchalot]

Pulse stole my joke.

It isn't unless you make a commercial that simply isn't needed, just like a HL2 commercial. You can sit here and laugh at the idea that it's entertainment but you know that you would be all over the internet to download the commercial and watch it over and over again, just like you did with the E3 video, which also was a commercial .

so tru soooo tru

That arguement would make sense if EVERYONE IN THE WORLD saw that E3 video Billions dont even know that HL-2 exists.

Yes, but 95% of those billions wouldn't even buy HL2 if they knew it existed as they obviously are not into PC gaming or they live under a rock .

 

[Be-vishead]

I don't know if anyone here has seen it but there used to be commercials for half life 1 when 3dfx was around.

 

[Guest]

I saw it... It was at that part with the osprey dropping grunts, Gordon had the MP-5. It looked so sweet at the time.

[d8cam]

lol "ADVERT"

you europeans and your funny words

 

[LoneDeranger]

I wanna see an ad where they display the crowbar for 30 seconds (like in that magazine). No words or anything.

Everyone would go "WTF??" and I would be like "oh, look HL2 is comming out Sept. 30"

The Perfect Commercial

oh, how I love minimalism

YESS! it would be great on the side of bus stops too

 

[Direwolf]

Yeah, but then we get all the people and the lawsuits and the "My little Jimmy beat a hobo to death with a crowbar because of HL2!" madness.

 

[scribblehead]

hahahahaha thats gold direwolf

 

[Direwolf]

Well at least my twisted sense of humor is good for something.

 

[Guest]

The commercial could start off with The G-man saying -weve been busy in your absance mr freeman....

Figthing etc.... incredable physics...

Then the end could be the massive stryder at the end of the E3 video shooting right into the camera :=)

 

[scribblehead]

did anyone actually get to ask gabe, if they were going to do any commercials for the game (after its been released)???

Man i can remember when i saw the commercial for op4, it rocked my pants

And then the TV could Explode!, now that would be cool.

So basically, the duration of the e3 footage?

 

[sayam]

pc games are advertised on the internet.

Yes, because the target audience wouldnt have seen the e-3 footage

Half-Life 2 isn't PC specific...

 

[Seikeden]

they would need to modify it some.. I mean, giant pachinko machines may be cool to nerds like us.. but I dunno if everyone would get a kick out of that

Oh, that's a naive view. PC games are advertised in direct mail, on TV, on posters in stores, in loads of magazines, mainly computer magazines. Half-Life 2 is one of the biggest games launches in history, why on earth wouldn't they do TV commercials?

 

[Ridic]

lol i cant wait to see al the fools get hl2 on xbox....you dont even know how badly thats gonna suck.

"Ahhhh, why am i getting 20fps on my modified pentium 2??? Ahhhhhh"
