That's not a sniper bullet, that's from the M4 or...that gun that you start out with, i forget.
Still, it's a very nice ad and i like how it shows what killzone 2 is all about.

I'm liking it. Now Sony needs to spam this EVERYWHERE.

Keep 'em coming. The "unprepared" trailer would also make a great TV spot, at least in the US. I know that Europe have weenie violence laws that prevent gameplay spots from airing.

I agree with you, man. Sony has dropped the ball big time with regards to advertising during this generation.
I know they expect their brand to carry them pretty far, but when you're this far behind you need to running some marketing on your AAA titles.

I guess I was the only unimpressed one! I guess what I was expecting was something more chaotic, more noisy, more warlike. Instead of something quiet and slow.
I was hoping for something that was a bit more exciting.
I still think it's good enough, but not great.
Hate me..

I think you should focus on the fact a bullet travels at a incredible rate, and with all that is taking place in the background, try and use your imagination to speed up the craziness. Especially when it finally hit it's target, the unfortunate one was with many "baddies" looking ready to unleash some hell.

sony must've fired their ad. workers and hired the people who make superbowl ads i guess.

Yeah am sure they will have more. They really need to put an accolades one like Resistance 2.

i know its been said but that wasnt a sniper bullet. anyways, that was an amazing ad. that is some of the best advertising sony has done in a long time. i think some gameplay is needed though so people are aware that it was ingame.

Wow in this economy it would have been better to release a commercial awhile ago to give people that need to save time to buy it.
Anyways great ad cannot wait for the game,

I like it, of course I was buying this regardless of whether the commercial was any good.
Hopefully this game gets the sales it deserves.

Makes me smile at the end- a smart and simple ad.

Definitely much better than the 10 sec European ad recently.

They say it is not prerendered and there will be a playable version of this spot, where you can actually move the cameras. :)
