Wow, that sure is a Leviathan-sized ad plastered over the side of this building over Wilshire Avenue in Los Angeles. The ad is noteworthy, not only because its scale -- but because it accurately depicts what you'll be facing off in Resistance 2.
Check out more pics at G4.
[Thanks, Mozz!]

Perhaps the sickest ad of all time.

Only complaint is that "Playstaiton 3" should be printed in a bigger font.

Pretty amazing looking ad. I wonder how high profile of a location that is. I would like to see a similar ad in San Francisco since that is where part of the game is supposed to take place.

This building is on Wilshire Avenue...it's one of the largest streets in the westside of LA. It runs straight through Santa Monica (where E3 was held a year back if I remember correctly).

It's a pretty high profile center in a city without much centralization. It's right next to The Grove (fancy, crowded mall), a popular farmer's market, and CBS Studios. Huge center of shopping and what not. A lot of companies in that particular building, too.

I drafted the emergency procedures manual for that building! You can rest assured, if a Leviathan does start rampaging through L.A., the tenants of that building will be informed of where to flee in terror.

Ad is crazy. But the Korea Center being under the big monster is even funnier.

Isnt that the Leviathan, not the Goliath
Posted: Oct 20th 2008 10:19PM (Unverified) said
Now they just need to place another one somewhere except replace Goliath with a Sackboy, and then they got another great ad! (compliments of me of course)

THIS is the kind of advertising Sony needs to do, some high profile stuff. Next is, actual commercials on all channels! Crazy idea that.

Looks fake to me.......... look at the Palm tree in the foreground it looks like its blurred into the ad..........
Dont get me wrong i do think its Friggin' Sweet. But looks a little Photoshopped..
and Resistance is getting the royal treatment from sony. its alot of hype tho. game isnt all that great in my opinion. Just another FPshooter with aliens.

It is really cool, but imagine if that was the building you worked in and your office was on that side. Your sunlight would be blocked for how long? A couple of days? A couple of weeks?
That would really suck.
