Sony launches their first PS4 commercial during Monday Night Football.

The commercial seems to be getting mixed reviews online (no game footage, awful song, etc.).
The commercial seems to focus on The Elder Scrolls Online, #Driveclub, and the next Killzone game.
I kind of like it. It reminds me of the fun times I had playing games like the NFL 2K games with my friends and family on the PS2/Dreamcast, as well as the fun times I had playing CoD4 with my online buds.
What do you guys think of the commercial, does it get you pumped or does it fail?

Surprised Sony went with a 1972 Lou Reed song.

The song is catchy. At least they didn't go with a dub-step song.

I think it's pretty good. I bet the Xbox one ads will be cringeworthy crap.

Fantastic graphics

Fuck I am so tired of dubstep, I heard it back when it was called grime in the early 2000's and thought it was shit.

At least it isn't a crying demonic baby.

This...

Abstract commercials annoy me. Wanna sell a new car model? Show a jaguar running in slow motion. Want to sell a new line of shoes? Show an atomic explosion...pointless shit that really has zip to do with the product you're selling...

I couldn't care less how much $$ spent producing that commercial...show me actual product footage, then I at least stand a chance of finding it impressive.

i liked it

gaming commercials don't need to feature gameplay

we can access all the gameplay videos we need in seconds these days

Very good commercial ! They achieved what they wanted - people are talking about it liek it or not. A+

Sony has been running the "greatness awaits" campaign for months.

However, the video in OP is the first with the PS4 brand at the end.

As far as I know, there's been one Xbox commercial released a while back. MS seems to be pushing the whole NFL fantasy football feature. The thing is, by the time the system comes out, the NFL regular season will almost be over.

Just a commercial of LARPing?

I tried really hard (not really) to find a dub step cover of "Perfect Day" and couldn't find one.
