New commercial, Mr. Malcolm, celebrates the global launch of the all-new PlayStation Plus
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
At this point I'm going to wait to play Bloodborne, because a remaster or remake is inevitably coming.
Good advert, although I'm a little confused on who the creature behind the door is meant to be. Which after some clear references to existing IP was a little weird.

I have always been a fan of these weird PS commercials. It's a part of their identity at this point.
I mean, it *is* a weird commercial. For an ad for PlayStation Plus specifically, it doesn't really do much except for the splash image at the end. It feels like a PlayStation brand ad where they've just slapped the new PS Plus information at the end. You could snip off that .jpeg and have it as a PlayStation brand ad and it'd be fine. As a PS Plus ad, it fails to get the message across.
(Plus, it veers dangerously close to 'magical negro' tropes which irks me a little.)
Dafuq was the ending of this about?
If you love Bloodborne so much, then why don't you marry it?That was a pretty great ad.
Bloodborne remaster when? SONYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
If you read the youtube comments, it does perfectly what it wants to achieve. Let users live old memories of past Playstation games that are now playable on the new Service.
sony's been doing these referenced-filled inspirational ads for a minute and they've gotten pretty tired. bring back the psychotic weirdness of the baby doll PS3 spots imo
Did you all see that foreshadowing?
Haha, that is nice!
Lovely ad!!
Wonder what that writing mean on the blade... wow Imagine Bloodborne with this level of detail!That was a pretty great ad.
Bloodborne remaster when? SONYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!
It almost looked like katakana, but it's just gibberish made to look like runes (you can find the official artwork of the Saw Cleaver here: https://www.bloodborne-wiki.com/2017/01/bloodborne-official-artworks.html)
Loved the ad.
Lmao a new template for memes.

Not really feeling it. It doesn't really accomplish much, because unless you're already in the ecosystem and can pick out some of the references, you literally wouldn't know what it was about until the PlayStation splash screen. Not only that but it doesn't communicate what the new PS Plus actually is.
I don't really think this commercial is targeting brand new audiences that have never played on PlayStation before. It knows who it's aimed at.
Wait... is the zombie supposed to be for resident evil director's cut?
sony giving the fans the worst port of a PS1 games.
need someone to edit this gif.
Then it doesn't need to really exist you know. To each their own though. 🤷🏽♂️
Sony's got ~50 million PS+ subscribers and another 60+ million PlayStation gamers that they want to get into their premium subscription tiers. If nothing else this is aimed mostly at those people.
They already had a trailer for that. This is just a spot. They've always been obscure.
That's exactly the meme that came to mind, which is why I found this ad weird lol, but the Bloodborne tease makes up for it!Getting some real "gamer" vibes out of this one
