WANT!

Jus-just WANT!!!

 

[Legion]

I want one, right now.

Godamnit I am annoyed at all these delays, they are pushing all the things I want together now. April now includes Portal 2, Gears of War 3 beta, and a new Fallout NV DLC.

Great trailer....but I'm starting to get worried.

I've noticed that the more hype a game gets, the worse it is upon release. Or maybe thats just EA.

True, but remember that Valve made these adverts, not EA, or a third party company. If that isn't enough to quell your fears then just remember that Valve haven't released a single bad game yet, and that unlike other games published by EA (Dragon Age 2), this one has been pushed back twice, so it's not likely to be a rushed product.

"Family-Puzzle"?

Really?

So, a psychotic AI with dispassionate mother issues that tortures its children...

But slapping a woman's bum? No...that's not family friendly.

Y U NO MAKE SENSE WORLD?

Portal got the MA-15 rating in Australia. For Strong Violence? Adult themes I'd understand, but a little blood? Come on.

Love these ads.

 

[Novur]

Awesome beyond words. Really.

 

[Sarge034]

I want one, no two, no..... I DO WANT.

I will sell, no GIVE Aperture Science my first born child and my soul RIGHT NOW.

CAN I HAZ PLZ?

 

[Shuswah_Noir]

What is this?

Pause the video at 00:32 to see this clip.

That... is a very good question

 

[themilo504]

i want one im gonna place it in my room if my brother and sister try to come in then there dead.mabye this is a bad idea

 

[Keava]

D'aww a cute wittle tuwwet, i want one, or make it two! Wait! I'll take a dozen!
Wonder how much work it would be to make a real scale one, with nerf gun mounted in and movement sensor.... *goes to count spare change*

 

[willsham45]

I am loving these ads, it proves you don't need to show game play to sell a game...Sigh why don't we see more of this kind of thing.

 

[Corpse XxX]

Valve should start a PR company, cause them guys really know how to sell a product!

Is very impressed!

 

[mechanixis]

How do we get so many bullets in 'em?

Like this.

 

[V TheSystem V]

loving the ads, so far.
In other news...
14 DAYS REMAINING 8D

Same

CANNOT WAIT THOUGH! My dad's getting it as a reward for me doing well in my Law resit (got up to an A from an E), so I NEED THIS!

Question for the sake of those of us not in a key release country:

Are these ads actually on TV, or just internet teasers for pre-existing fans?

 

[TheKruzdawg]

I have to say these are some of the best trailers and ad campaign that I have seen in awhile. I was already interested in Portal 2 to begin with, but now I'm even more excited. It is a rare case when I want to watch what is basically a commercial repeatedly because I am excited about the game and because they are genuinely funny. Way to go Valve!

 

[White_Hawk]

I WANT ONE. for science.

 

[babinro]

Fantastic adds...though this in now way gets me hyped to play a video game.

 

[Pescetarian]

I'd get close to the baby if it meant I could play Portal 2 faster.

 

[btenkink]

I am enjoying these trailers so much!

Portal's advertising team should consult for EA's team. Seriously, it would do the gaming ad world a favor!

 

[Andaxay]

Seriously it's unbelievable, they have the best ads in the entire industry, and they do it without paying through the nose for an advertising firm, why the fuck do companies even use advertising firms anyway!?

Yeah, a lot of companies could take a leaf out of Valve's book. I suppose Valve are so successful because they know how to approach it, whereas a lot of companies rely on advertising companies because they don't have the marketing skills or know-how to do it.
