Replying to bold:Originally Posted by Virtual-Chris Go to original postSure, but we’re talking Ghost Recon, not Just Cause. I thought the video was funny, and it was filmed in Canada. But I don’t really see it doing this franchise any favours. Wouldn’t it be cooler if they showed what FIST could do? Like really get immersed and role play a Spec Ops team? That might get gamers thinking... wow, that’s ****ing cool, I want to play that. Instead, they’re looking at this video laughing... haha... that’s just like when we played XYZ... the fact there’s a new game coming out with coop is almost lost here. I don’t know. We haven’t really seen any serious marketing of this game since the reveal. I’m not sure what their strategy is. Maybe they’re rolling in money from pre-orders and just pissing it away on stupid marketing videos.
No. I find the Lil Wayne trailer much more appealing than watching FIST. I find FIST to be pretentious, personally. The reveal trailer used serious gaming, and a lot of people complained that no one talks like that when gaming. At least the tactical calls were correct in the walk through trailer, unlike the FIST video. FIST got most of their calls wrong so it just got annoying watching it.
RP- was the walkthrough trailer. I'm guessing the script was written by Emil or some other military advisor and was legit.
FIST- Felt like a bunch of kids who live in their mom's basements trying, not quite successfully to live a Spec Ops fantasy.
Lil'Wayne- In my experience that was how most operators actually play this type of video game, and apparently a lot of other people as well.
For other serious marketing... Did you miss the Bernthal trailer?

And I immediately remembered this video:Originally Posted by Bone_Frog Go to original post
Yes, it is about strikeball, but in just 5 minutes soldier explains why they playing for fun and how strange all those "milsim" looks to them.I think, somehow, some of the things he said can be related to video games too.

No ones likes extreme approach players. The ones who take it soo seriously that they are obnoxious or those who take it soo casually that they jump around and ignore everything because they are soo bored that they decided to just fool around, not go stealth, climbing on anything and shooting at birds, throwing grenades at team mates .
GR is not a mil-sim, nor I want it to be. At the same time I don't want it to be soo casual that it can be a fortnite copy. Yes, you can not judge the game based on one trailer that was meant to be just a funny video. Looking how they are watering down from CB to OB experience, seems to me goal is to make core mechanics casual that you almost don't need a brain to play. Also wannabe "gangsta" Lil Wayne to market Ghost Recon is a no.

Exactly... I'm never gunna play surgeon simulator or theme hospital. It's just nonsense. Why would anyone want to play their day job? It's supposed to be an escape. Having said that I'm draw to playing field medic, but I'm gunna have a laugh doing it.Originally Posted by Wild-Recon Go to original postAnd I immediately remembered this video:

It's scary how much of what Walker says seems to describe the actual real world America to a T.Originally Posted by Bone_Frog Go to original postFor other serious marketing... Did you miss the Bernthal trailer?
