Spider-Man marketing has begun. Spider-Man PS4 train in NYC (Times Square Shuttle)
- Thread starter patapon
- Start date
nyc ppl don't "react" to dancing crazies nearly kicking their phones out - much less an ad on a subway
tourists may think its cute
This particular train is always covered head to toe in ads so its not something out of the ordinary for people to react to
Yup.
I saw people taking pictures but other than that, no reaction.
Oh, so this is already starting....?
Exactly this. Can't wait for the "Only 5 million in its first month? That's like....like..... X% of PS4's total userbase.
Well.....
I doubt it. The most you're likely to see is a nod towards Miles getting powers or having powers or something. No funky protagonist switching.
Yeah I know. This is a big AAA game and they probably aren't going to risk it with a move like that. Plus it would have definitely leaked by now. Still, a kid can dream...
Why are you dreaming of the inferior Spiderman in just about every single facet, be it personality or capabilities?
Well a more established Spiderman is often a more boring Spiderman. So a Peter Parker who's been at it for 8 years is less interesting to me than a Miles Morales who is just starting out.
I expect MIles to get his own game in the future TBH, likely after Spiderman 2. He probably is playable in SP2 and then gets his own game afterwards.
Honestly im actually feeling them doing something a bit different with it, like setting Miles up but MJ gets powers or something.
Just something about the E3 and SDCC trailers together gave me some vibes.
combine that with playable MJ scenes and an unrevealed super duper spoiler statue, im feeling it.
Probably crazy though.
hehe, right? I don't see that other game getting a literal hype train, do you?
as a former NYCer, the cynic in me just thinks "would be nice if the city cared about the subway outside of promotional events"
It is a nice paint job though
It is a nice paint job though
Raimi: Ok Tobey, Spider-man is stopping a speeding train. You gotta make a face that shows the anguish of Spider-man.
Tobey: I got you fam.

Speaking of starting a marketing campaign: if Spider-Man isn't splattered all over the NFL's opening game, SNF and/or MNF in the first few weeks Sony's marketing arm is doing it wrong. I expect many a "this game is brought to you by Marvel's Spider-Man, exclusively on PlayStation 4".
I remember when Uncharted 4 was coming out, Sony had marketing for all the Amazon paper envelopes. So you would see Uncharted 4 marketing on all those brown Amazon envelopes.
LOL
Sony going all out. First with the huge E3 painted Spiderman advertisement in LA and now this.
this thread is really bringing out the NYC cynic in me as well
imagine when the kids freaking out over a corporate marketing campaign realize that the next Playstation Exclusive Open World (brought to you Exclusively by Sony Entertainment) is an actual place they could go visit
