Er... weird thing, seeing a new ad for a Microsoft game - "Too Human"?

Surely they're not taking ads for rival products?

[/ QUOTE ]

How is Too human a rival product? Besides being a game that is. I would get worried if it was an ad for DC Online or Champions Online

I'm not good at giving advice, can I interest you in a sarcastic comment?

It's an RPG with online multiplayer capabilities. True, it's not a direct competitor, especially as it's on console. But it's not exactly chalk and cheese...


Is it time for the dance of joy yet?

Its also supposed to be rather disappointing according to reviews.

So when are we getting ads for good stuff?

(and ye're about 15 years late too, Syndicate had animated Bullfrog ads running in the cities in 1993 )

YAY, Syndicate...sorry to go off topic a sec. But that has to be one of my all time favorite games.

If that was ever made into a MMORPG, I'd be in heaven.

Mine too.

I'd kill for a MM with miniguns and trenchcoats in CoV (Thugs just aren't the same, even with Traps and a trenchcoat on my main.... I suppose I could pretend I've Persuadatron-ed em all but its just not the same)

Wasn't it Chris Evans in the intro sequence. I remember that the guy had REALLY orange hair, and I think it came up with "C.Evans" when he was put in the Leonardo device.

P.S. Forum derailing, whoooo!

If the ad is targeted at a British market, then it will only show up to players in Britain, I think.

It all depends on the ad - if the ad is being targeted at Holland too, then you'll see it.

[/ QUOTE ]You'd think, but AFAIK neither the movie or the game currently being advertised are exclusive to the UK. So it seems that the advertiser has to specifically target a certain country with the campaign.

Or maybe NC has different prices for where advertised. Like 1 country = £X.XX, 2-3 = £Y.YY, all Europe = £Z.ZZ so it could be that the current ones only paid for UK advertising.

Sod flamethrower rampage.

Dropped Timebomb rampage FTW!!

Always loved rotating through a set of Shields and running through the enemy agents so they'd shoot each other, drop a timebomb and blow themselves to pieces. Cheezy tactics FTW!

Gauss Gun rampage was fun too.

Someone make a Syndicate MMO for heavens sakes (maybe this Spy AT and suggested 3rd side could be shoe-horned into something appropriate).

Syndicate was fun, but you can't have your Syndicate MMO until I get either a Battletech, Shadowrun, Warhammer 40K, Paranoia, G1 Transformers, Rifts, or Ghost in the Shell MMO

The ones in bold should be transformed(no pun intended) into an MMO.
