AD's as good as Gears of War?

[jfrizzle14]

well we all kno unreal has never been great with its advertising. and the question is will the AD's be off the wall on this game? well it should since this game has one of the best mulitplayer features ever known lol. a game thats atleast better than halo.

EDIT : wow, completely misintepreted the topic.

well with UT3 being now playable in some places, I think that it will start getting attention. not the scale of gears, but the game will same by itself, thanks to it's awesomeness

[tuxman]

yeah, i am missing more advertising for UT3... GOW last year even got a topic just to write about their E3 presentation...

[intentsly]

Wow!

Guess my last post was a little too hot for the thread, since it was deleted..

In any case I'll skip my anti-M$ diatribe this time, since halo truly is nothing IMO.

I will say that if Epic adds more than just the single-player angle in their ads, it might be more appealing to a wider audience. Just a thought...

Halo 1 sucks, but Halo 2 ain't nothing, I think it's the second best console FPS ever made. (Not counting any old classics, I mean modern games. Chronicles of Riddick gets my vote for top place) In any case it isn't "nothing" at least.

That being said, "Best console FPS" doesn't count for much.


UT3 won't get as much advertising because no one (not many people..) on a console really cares, most of them don't know about UT. Best thing they should do is target the internet, that's where their playerbase is.

EVE: Online launched a big internet ad campaign not too long ago, that's working out well, UT3 should do that..

To me..

I think if they do more than just the one trailer, I think it will do fine across the board.

(Halo is nothing to me, I liked PC Halo1. I can't bring myself to play it though, after being abandoned by M$, only to be forced to buy an unwanted OS to play the next version. Its just not going to happen, for me.)

Halo is mostly a great single player game with good multiplayer gameplay. Unreal Tournament is good single player gameplay with great multiplayer gameplay. Halo got lucky with a few good MP maps and a good HUD, but most of the gametypes aren't that good, and it's perhaps the slowest-moving shooter I've ever played unless you're lucky enough to get a vehicle.

Considering UT3 is to be released on all platforms it perhaps might not get as much advertising.

A game like GoW obviously needs to be well publicized because it was only released on Xbox and they needed to make sales and well the quality of the game justified it's great advertising.

UT already has a massive fanbase right off the bat. Almost eveyr person of which is following the progression of UT3. So massive advertising for UT3 wouldn't be required as much as it was for GoW. But considering how epic it's going to be, I'd say it's worth a good show to get some xbox/GoW fanboys interested.

I might just be talking out my **** though. >_<

[R.Flagg]

I would disagree Sublime. Seems to me UT3 could use a ton of advertising. I do not read gaming magazines, and besides the gaming web sites I visit, I don't recall ever seeing an ad for UT series anywhere. Ever. Sure have seen lots of ads for other games though. Always wondered why.

[Sublime]

Well UT has always been more of an underground game I suppose. Relying more on word of mouth than anything.

[Mort_Q]

They do have professionals that do this advertising thing... perhaps they know more about it than we do!?

The game doesn't really need to by hyped for long before it's available, they want to build the buzz for November for the Holiday shopping season.

I'm sure Midway will do a reasonable job.

Who is "AD" and why is he as good as GoW?
