I have a few to share with you, /v/.
>>336887585
this ad is kinda hot
And that's all I got.
Hope someone enjoyed this short image dump.
>>336887453
fucking feminists and sjws ruined everything
>>336888959
It's really strange for me to see them actually doing shit.
I've been playing games for a little more than thirty years now and while there's always been opinionated cunts who ranted about the "evils" of video games, I don't really understand why they're being given attention and money for it now when they didn't get nothing but a "Fuck off" before.
>>336888843
Good on you anon. It's a nice nostalgia dump when games were still about having fun.
>>336888757
I miss the 80s style glitzy airbrushed artwork of old video games as well as the 90s style of advertisements where they actively insult the customers of their rivals (as well as the rivals).
damn some of these are lude as fuck
>>336888959
good 8gag post my redditumblr brother
Sony has some weird as shit ads.
>>336887453
Awesome
Man, there's no way you'd get away with something like that these days

Why are you shitposting, anon? What went wrong with your life?
>>336891831
Why are getting mad at dumb jokes?
>>336891927
I'm not mad at all. Just disappointed that rather than enjoy a neat thread you'd instead prefer to shitpost.
>>336891689
>>336887453
Help me identify them pls
I only recognize hitler, stalin, mussolini, saddam and I think napoleon's the one between stalin and mussolini and castro's the one under stalin.

Show us on the doll where your father touched you, anon.
I remember some of those.
It is excruciatingly painful, that most of those ads would not fly today. It is so fucked up we have moved to much less liberty in name of not hurting any slack-jawed faggot's feelings in so little time.

>>336892183
Fug. At this point, I feel like we're gonna get to a point where ads/games are required to fill a quota for sjw. No woman being strong? Sexual reference/innuendo of any kind? Can't air it.

>I don't really understand why they're being given attention and money for it now when they didn't get nothing but a "Fuck off" before.
Academia. Feminists and critical race theorists have been stirring shit up for 30 years and the academics have become increasingly insulated from reality with each generation of students. These departments have no practical application and they only create more professors, which creates a feedback loop of madness.

>The animated screen is sperm with face buttons on them
>>336893253
Sounds plausible.
>>336888959
Feminists and SJWs had nothing to do with this though
The general trends in advertising after c. 2006 started to turn into other stuff. Go read game mags and see. Its like blaming SJWs for Smash Mouths loss of popularity.

>>336893990
You're asking the wrong person.
I'm pretty amazed Sony can sell shit with these kinds of ads.
>>336893990
>WHAT DOES ANY OF THIS HAVE TO DO WITH PS2?
Nothing and these ads were very popular in the eurozone.
>>336893025
>>336893426
>>336893562
>>336893856
>>336894047
These don't even have any general brand recognition other than the ps2 logo in a corner. Are these supposed to be slightly subliminal so that whenever you are in a fucked up situation or some shit you think of Sony's products?
To be a fucking fly on the wall during these meetings, holy shit.
>>336894072
Somebody hired David Lynch.
I don't know why anybody thought it would be a good idea to give it to him, but they did.
Somebody post overly aggressive 90s advertisements already.

>>336893426
>>336893562
>>336893856

Why haven't they made ads like these for the PS4/Vita?
these are classic
I can understand that there's someone out there who can think this shit up, but who in their sane mind would approve this?
>>336887970
I don't get it

You know these Sony ads only happened cause the PS2 sold so well and they were testing to see how much it would take to turn people away
>>336893465
>Playboy
>Naked man
Huh? Why would they have an advertisement like that in Playboy and not Playgirl?
>>336894517
He's up for any game, boy
>>336894072
They made you look, ponder what the fuck is this shit and made you 'search' for who's funding this shit just to realise it's Sony playstation. From an advertiser's point of view, they win as they had your attention for more than a few seconds and it sticks to your mind. Just come back to this kind of thread a few years later (if 4chan is still here in the first place and you'll still see Sony PS ads posted around).
>>336893465
Is that a big thumb or a big dick?
>>336894270
Notice how despite these ads being over 10 years old people are still talking about? Goes to show you that they're effective. Ads aren't about selling you a product, they're more about just reminding you they exist.
>>336894615
>big
>>336887646
But the world is heavier than the moon...
>>336894734
At least twice the size of mine and my mom says mine's average.
European ads are literally contrarian hipster as fuck.
>>336894379
This is my biggest fantasy.
>>336894270
>spring-loaded nipples
>>336894818
That's funny, because she told me that mine's bigger than yours.
>>336894778
Not relatively. The Earth's gravity exerts more force on the moon than the other way round, so if you were to be crushed in a collision between the two bodies then it would be due to the force of the moon coming towards the earth rather than the other way round.
>>336894270
Why not if it works? The point of the ad is to draw attention to the product and these still do, even after 15 years.
They're not utterly nonsensical.
>>336894047
I mean, this one's a fairly obvious visual metaphor for the escapism video games provide. To play a different role, to become someone else and whatnot. A lot of them are either about escapism or physical sensation.
>>336894178
For example, here you have the notion of this insane and creative inner world contrasted with the drab and subdued outer world.
>>336894270
>>336893426
These are basically just reminiscent of those old "HOW IT FEELS TO CHEW 5 GUM" memes, using absurd imagery to indicate intense sensory input. Minds being blown and so on.
But mostly it's about making an arresting image that sticks in your mind. Considering we're still talking about it a decade later, I'd say they succeeded.
Some of these just looks like weird sublime shit with PSP/PS logo strapped on it.
Are these real
>>336895013
>That's funny, because she told me that mine's bigger than yours.
Well congrats then... I guess
>>336895083
All of them are real ads.
>>336895152
That's a lot of nudity. Where were they published?
>>336892017
>Gray Fox is not the answer to number 6
Bullshit, I would be more terrified of someone that just finished dismembering a whole hallway of guards
>>336895201
Look at the electrical outlets.
>>336895201
Europe, apparently.
>>336887453
Imagine if they put something like this out today. Can you imagine the shitstorm that will ensue?
>>336895201
In europe, where puritans aren't in control of the media.
>>336891437
After all this time I still cannot accept that Megaman Zero series is over and I can't accept HOW it ended.
Please come back Zero.

For those to young to understand, those ads were done due to a survey showing the target audience for PS2 was late 20's and 30's active workers. So they wanted to create an advertising campaign mor mature, asking designers and even Lynch to go for it ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msMehuZo3x8 )
The creed of those ads is simple :
-Feel it
-Explore your true self
-Be who you want to be
I hope there would be more ad like this.
>>336894379
Makes me think of Silent Hill 2
>>336894262

Social media would have a fucking meltdown if these got made today, fucking shame.

>>336895640
nice
I haven't seen a commercial for a video game like this in a long ass time. What the fuck happened to them?
The PS3 ad campaign was leagues ahead of whatever the fuck they shat out for the PS4. Jesus Christ when did it all go so, so wrong?
>>336896154
Clearly it didn't go wrong. The PS4 is raking in mad money after the PS3's poor showing.
>>336893436
Fucking feminists won't admit that all that glitters is gold
>>336896154
The vidya industry has "grown up" and all video game ads look like film trailers.

>>336896154
Better marketing laws in a lot of countries, especially in Europe. A lot of the ads in this thread breaks current EU-law.
>>336896154
The bigger a business is, the less likely it is to take chances.
>>336896554
>Better marketing laws in a lot of countries
That's a strange use of the word "better".
>>336893137
Strongly depends on the country and your subject. My history professor is basically /pol/-lite. Nobody minds because he's such a witty bastard he even makes feminists laugh at his politically incorrect jokes.
>>336896554

>>336897686
I remember seeing this ad a couple times in tips&tricks magazine as a little kid and it kind of fucked me up. I think on some level I knew it was just a joke, but I also sort of really worried that maybe he would kill himself.

I always hated this one. She just looks so fucking weird and her accent sounds like she burnt her tongue. No clue what the theme of this is supposed to be or what it's supposed to mean.
>>336898379
>an industry based on the idea of having fun
Where have you been for the last decade, Anon? Games are a Serious Artistic Medium now. Games are finally taken seriously, aren't you happy about that?
>>336898714
I saw it on TV as a kid and thought it was a real person, fucked me up for years lol
Couldn't make out her accent either, found out years later that she's talking about self-accomplishment. This ad is so vague that you could use it to sell literally anything.
>>336898902
>Games are finally taken seriously
By literally no one except delusional hipster devs and equally hipster gamers. The rest of the world doesn't give a shit about vidya other than "muh mega billion dollar blooming industry of manchild pandering". Literally, that's fucking it. People that don't play vidya only acknowledge it as a cash cow.
Older devs don't give a shit about making artsy fartsy bullshit, they just want to make things that are fun.
>>336888142
i love how they even replicated the age and player count thing
