derek3056 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'm surprised that we're not seeing commercials on TV yet. I wonder what's going on. We're only two weeks away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redwolf206 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I'm guessing you aren't from the US, but they've been playing here since it was revealed (the gamestop commercial). Probably will soon come to other countries too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algonquin Assassin Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I haven't seen a single GTA IV TV ad over here yet, but then again SA didn't get any until about a week before release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rong18 Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I have no idea what you are talking about, I continuously see the GTA IV (Gamestop) ad on TV... And I love it, it just make me want the game more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neolistic Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Did you guys not watch Spike T.V in the US? during the Starwars marathon every other commercial had GTA 4 adds. Spike T.V also airs the video game awards, and game trailers T.V, which usually during breaks has video game adds including the GTA 4 adds.

blazinfasstt Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 ive only seen 1 that 1 where it follows the celebrity that everyone hates and thinks highly of himself, anyways ive probably missed many more since tv is sooo f*cking mainstream and boring f*ckn survivor 12, plz no more are you smarter than a fifth grader, hillbily laughter for stupid labourer supported families, middle and lower class american idol, plz i dont need to see another person with talent go on there and immediately be forgcootten once the next american idol airs and that new comedy fox has where they mix up a whole bunch of random and b rate actors in a room to tape odd situations american dad. ripoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioSphere Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) I'm guessing you aren't from the US, but they've been playing here since it was revealed (the gamestop commercial). Probably will soon come to other countries too. Yes it is a commercial... Yet its only Gamestop's Commercial for the game for pre ordering it.... It's not the official Commercial from R*. R* has yet to release their commercial. It usually comes out a week prior to Release. I've seen the Gamestop Commercial multiple times On, G4 Spike T.v. CMT FX Comedy Central Fox Fuse ESPN TNT i think thats it... Edited April 15, 2008 by BioSphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slamman Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I never saw one SanAn ad on TV in America, and I certainly doubt they'll advertise them before the game is out, other then as they have with in print media. Haven't seen a TV ad since Vice City! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slamman Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I watched the SA commercial with GnR back drop, seems vaguely<?> familiar but if I did see it on TV, it was one time and I forgot it. I clearly remember the VC one. Maybe our community is SO against GTAs they replace the ads with someother politically correct product, They did banish Howard Stern from our radio market! They didn't like his shock jock antics!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
straightedge Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I see it on Comedy Central, G4 and USA Network at least once or twice an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VC one was cool with the flock of seaguls song - I ran, and the GTA III one with the opra music was kinda ok.. they could have done some other music but it was pretty good. The San Areas One.. I don't even remember the song nor what happened in it besides the part when he's talkin about his mom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tld Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 There have been no commercials or mass marketing in the U.K because there was a huge chance of the game getting banned (There still is) R* are keeping PR low untill they have actually sold enough units, then this way nobody can do anything about the game because the game will already be in the hands of the consumer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Asian Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 I've only seen the ad twice. On Comedy Central during the afternoon. It's different than the one I've seen online though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been no suggestion that the game should be banned as far as I am aware (apart from one or two kooks, not exactly corporation smashing stuff). Nobody even suggested the previous GTA's should banned (not so many people it mattered anyway) the only major beef was the hot coffee thing, the rest has been the usual bitching complints about prostitutes etc, no real danger of 4 getting a ban.

What was it like? it wasn't THAT much different from what we are used to seeing on youtube. Some dialog cut out/traded with different dialog and some scenes are slightly different.
