In Response To: Re: Wow. (Hedgemony)


: It's more of a way to ask the marketing boys if they did their jobs properly
: in getting the most sales possible. That's what I'd be looking at. Not the
: work. You can sell a bag of shit dust if you market it correctly.

: The question is how effective were the ad campaigns for ODST/REACH? And what
: have they learned from the failed marketing that doesn't involve waking up
: the Chief?

: -Hedge.

I agree, but the irony for me in reading this is that I felt the live action trailer for ODST was the best Halo ad of them all.

It was a tough sell, though--kind of like trying to sell a movie about Robin, the Boy Wonder. And that's part of what Spencer is getting at. Master Chief has the broadest appeal. No one can deny that, and for that reason he's an easier sell.

Personally, I was thrilled to get away from the Master Chief when we did--it was nice to play games in this universe with more life-sized characters. But I'm hardcore--someone who believes that every Bungie Halo game has brought improvements.
