This type of advertising isn't meant to get a person to buy a game. It's just all about brand awareness and recognition. People see Fear 2 scrolled on the side of a cat and get interested and go look it up later. Also used for publicity since it's getting plastered on all of the gaming sites on the net. Just wait til PETA hears about this then it'll really blow up.

Yes, PETA will have a conniption fit. It might be scarier as the game.

Are they gonna get the cats back at all? Because unless they're tracking them which I assume they are, isn't it illegal to just throw animals out into the street? and if it's not illegal it will definitely flip PETAS shit

They weren't unleased alone - their owners stayed with them and they were on leads!

Great idea! Sega should promote Sonic games with actual hedgehogs. Unfortunately that won't help them make any better games.

Lol I'm debating whether to get this or not. RE5 is coming out soon and I need to conserve money. Not even sure if I have enough for Star Ocean IV too let alone this title.

I'm not sure someone would like to buy FEAR 2 after being scratched by a cat in a sweater promoting said game.

I hope none of those cats are run over or anything.

FEAR 2 best seller of all time? So far it looks like it's going to fall flat on it's face on launch day. Let alone get any notice after that. Good luck beating 21 million copies, cause chances are it will never happen.

Well duh it's sarcasm. Just commenting on the fact that this game is having a lot of money wasted on it's advertising but will still fail horribly sales wise.

Maybe a better idea would have been unleashing little girls in red dresses around instead, some swinging on public park swings? Though cats don't have to be paid or worry about any child labor laws....

Were I to buy either of my cats a shirt for FEAR 2, I'm pretty sure I'd have to live in fear of them ripping my throat out at night while I slept.
