Yup, Another Live-Action Trailer |
Listed in: News Tags: Activision, black ops, black ops ii, call of duty, modern warfare
The live-action trailer has long been a tradition in the world of video games, but it sure as hell seems like it’s becoming a more popular way to advertise a game now than it was before. Assassin’s Creed, Skyrim, Borderlands, Halo….all of these games have received live-action trailers, and that’s just me listing the ones I can remember. It’s kind of the thing to do now.
So this newest one, for Black Ops II, isn’t an anomaly. But it is pretty good, and it is about Black Ops II:
I think most people would agree that Call of Duty’s “There’s a soldier in all of us” ad campaign is a cool spin, but also that it worked a lot better the first few times around. Now it seems like Activision is just falling back into a proven strategy rather than attempting to do anything innovative.
Wait…were we talking about the ads or the games?

Although, I did like a couple parts of it.

Its high sales affect other game developers/publishers, causing them to copy their game in order to create the same amount of money.
This leads the unique and fun game series to becoming horrid and hollow shells forcibly mixed with the action/shooter genres.
It affects all of us gamers, believe it or not.

I'm just saying that this game series(as well as Battlefield) is influencing other companies.
Anyway, if you don't believe me, here is some examples of the series that CoD is influencing already.
Halo
Resident Evil
Mass Effect
Battlefield
Syndicate
Call of Duty(yes, even itself has been affected)
