In Response To: Re: New live action trailer 2 (Archilen) : I agree that Reach's marketing so far hasn't been particularly flashy - at : least these new two videos. From what we've seen, it seems they're working : on an extremely limited budget. Also, it seems they're focusing too much : on some of the more obscure aspects of the game only the more hardcore : fans will pick up on - and those people who will buy the game anyways. For : example, someone who hasn't heard of the game before can't really : understand most of the stuff that's going on in these things and their : point will be completely lost on them. : Then again, I've never been particularly interested with marketing campaigns : since they tend to focus on one aspect of the game only and fail to : actually give an idea of what the game's like. For instance, if someone : unfamiliar with Halo sees this or the previous trailer, they'll have : absolutely no clue what the game's all about. Insurgents are mentioned, so : someone may think it's another "modern combat" shooter or : something since there's not even a mention of aliens or for that matter, : the fact they're on another planet. I think the marketing should actually : explain some of the backstory, and what's going on, on a larger scale. I understand they are trying to create a certain emotion here...but come on. This commercial is nothing but random stock footage with some extremely generic sayings over them. Munky...get to work :P
