Well that was a bit of a derp by someone.
I wouldn't have been surprised if it said something like solder due to a spell-checker, but to get it wrong...

Or, you know, they were typing very quickly and happened to hit 'i' before 'd' instead of after.Ed130 said:
Is it incredibly silly that this typo went out with the final adverts? Sure.
But it's very petty to do anything more than chuckle at it, especially in the case of the OP here where he's insinuating that it's endemic of "next-gen" (now "current-gen" really, for all intents and purposes) games, as if typos in advertising never happened with any previous generation of video game.
I would have voiced the same opinion about this if it wasn't a next gen advert. I just find it surprising that such a slip up made it past a spell-checker/editor.shrekfan246 said:
If you look close enough, you'll find that a lot of things tend to get by spell-checkers/editors. Even in our own articles here on The Escapist.Ed130 said:
Hell, I've spotted typos in a few of the Song of Ice & Fire books.
Oh yes, I've picked up a few errors on The Escapist (and mentioned them to staff for fixing) as well as mistakes in books (mostly Webber, but he has an excuse). But generally I find that advertising, especially by larger corporations to be thoroughly checked over before release making gaffes like this rare.shrekfan246 said:
Nah, I was just being facaetious. Spelling errors are as old as written language. I remember one of the Splinter Cell games on the original Xbox was called "Splinetr Cell" on the spine of the case, and I noticed a spelling mistake in an achievement description recently too.shrekfan246 said:
Fight as a solider? So your character just poops everywhere or fights with poop? I can imagine it now...
"Ready the catapults!"
"Sir, we're out of ammunition!"
"You know what this means. 2nd squad, squat over the catapults and evacuate!"

Nah, they just want you to fight more solid. This totally wasn't idiocy in action.Batou667 said:Has anybody else noticed the typo in the Ryse: Son Of Rome sidebar advert?
Can't say I'm too impressed with so-called "next gen" so far!
I'd say it's a completely accurate representation of Ryse' quality as a game, so it might be the best advert Microsoft have ever published...Ed130 said:
