After seeing the Japanese add, I cant even laugh at how shitty the American one is.
Who do these adds even appeal to?
EDIT: Lets not make assumptions about musical taste. Any form of popular music would have been inappropriate. Pop, rap, rock... most popular songs.
EDIT 2: Once again, this is not an attack on classic rock or any particular genre. This is about misleading advertising and out of place music in shitty commercials. All the money they spent on it... its trash.
EDIT 3: And actual quality Destiny advert: https://youtu.be/jS1BM9XRgvw
And another decent one: https://youtu.be/clRpcIHpmoY
EDIT: I gotta say, I am amazed how few people get the thread.
The vast majority of the posts on this thread essentially boil down to thinking I am insulting a 70s Rock Band and like Dubstep. As though the entire point of the thread flew over their heads and was completely lost on them. I guess I cant expect less from children.
But I will say this: I was wrong about the advert.
The advert is still an embarassing and misleading schlock epic: money burning on the screen, portraying Destiny as a game of one liners and awesome fist pumping ACTION when in reality, its a very slow moving old school sci fi universe that is highly confusing and has no one liners or bro action AT ALL.
But I thought an advert like this would be completely ineffective. I thought it would be a massive failure around here. But I was wrong, since apparently all it takes is a popular song and some schlock get people excited.
Damn shame that.

I actually think that commercial is pretty awesome and it gets me hyped every time I see it
-
I want music from the fired composer
-
Commercial was actually pretty cool. Got me pumped to play. It did piss me off that my fireteam and I can not share a playlist like in both of the live action commercials. Destiny's music is great but after hearing it on repeat it gets annoying.
-
Signed. I'm sorry, but their whole theme has been "You have become powerful enough to slay gods. Yet, you should fear what is coming for you" and now it acts like we'll quickly kill him then go to the beach and chill with some beers.
-
I'd much rather have instrumental music, or music that [b]relates[/b] to the game then rock or LZ.
-
Don't you [i]dare[/i] diss the mighty zeppelin.

He yelled into a laundry machine....

Edited by A_rodEmpyre: 9/12/2015 1:25:19 AMPetition to remove OP from the forums, sign here Also Pop and Rap suck, Rock is better, But people Are like Pop and Rap are cool, Rock sucks, whats wrong with that.

Consider that they (Bungie) are trying to appeal to a different demographic. People of the generation that would appreciate this music are typically well established (read disposable income). Kids will buy it because it looks cool and their friends have it. When the kids begging their parents to buy this show the trailers to their parents, a possible connection might be made. Also, Hammer of the Gods jamming in the background as the Titan lets loose was a good fit, whether you'll admit it or not.

It sounds a lot better than slapping the same dubstep track over everything
-
Agreed

I personally thought the Japanese was horrible and not funny at all. Just a wtf is this moment.

Honestly im just surprised Zep gave the rights to use there songs.

Edited by REXEL: 9/12/2015 12:54:47 AM[quote]Signed. Who do these adds even appeal to? [/quote] *ads* If i had to guess activisions marketing team had a hand in the advertisement. The ad shares too many similar traits that the live action call of duty ones have had (witty humor aspect, classic rock, etc). In regards to song choice, it's to get the attention of an older audience since that music is from that era. The avid gamers parents might tell them about the advertisement, or some gamers who are much older might be influenced to buy the product to some degree. I dont like how led zepplin has been used for the trailers, but in terms of marketing it supposedly helps the product appeal to a wider audience. I personally would rather have had a piece that promotes a more serious tone for the game.

Can you link me the japanese one? I wanna see it
-
Well the first one made my dad buy an xbox one lol
-
I agree, sounds like they want to imitate Guardians of the Galaxy. I cringe when I see the ads. I much prefer the ads you linked. They are what get me hyped for a game.
-
Edited by Mr Buldopz: 9/12/2015 12:34:13 AMThe hundreds of thousands of dollars they spend on market research and focus groups before the millions they spend launching the add all disagree with you. Come to think of if, why in the actual -blam!- is this even a post? And why in the actual -blam!- am I wasting my time replying? Oh well, what's typed can't be untyped
-
Black Dog made it awesome!

Thanks for your help. I saw the Japanese ad and it was [spoiler]Spectacular!![/spoiler]

Gonna make you sweat gonna make you groove

I kind of liked it.
