Advertising Going Rogue

I really really really hope that you guys are planning a media blitz for Going Rogue. I don't just mean on the web either.
Why not start selling Going Rogue T-Shirts now... and have like "Coming Soon" 2009 or 2010 on the back...
Why not Have Best Buy put up posters inside the store, amping people up.

I, personally, started playing this game anticipating CoV coming out. I got the game a few months in advance so that I could get a good feal for the controls, and wouldnt be a complete newbie when CoV came out.

I hope we can see a Going Rogue commercial at the movie theaters before some upcoming super movie. I think you should mysteriously "leak" pictures from the Going Rogue new zones to the Interweb... and start some early hype.
Maybe show us some pics of the graphics upgrades.

I would love to wear a TShirt for Going Rogue coming soon 2009... I want one with that Dominatrix looking lady on the front... and whips and chains on the back... signifying her torture spirit

People have been howling for CoH-related stuff for ages - but I agree with you, P_P. T-shirts with Desdemona and/or Maelstrom on the front, with GOING ROGUE - 2009 or something on the back, would be quite cool. (I can just imagine the looks I'd get at work wearing the Desdemona t-shirt.)

This is definitely the opportunity for a major media blitz - is any superhero-ish/action movie coming out between now and November that you could put the "GR" CGI trailer on? We see ads all the time now for various and sundry video games - COH should join the pack.

Everyplace I go on the web I am accosted by game advertising, for a game I don't even like I would really really really like to start seeing some "Coming Soon" "Going Rogue" "2009" ads.

I think it's that there aren't enough details yet to make advertising worth it. Once you can direct players to a website with a feature list, screenshots, and other tidbits, then I think it becomes worthwhile.

Looks that say "Why are you wearing a goth girl with booty shorts and Aerosmith hair?"

I still wish they'd do the oft requested Rikti monkey plushie.


Goodbye, I guess.

How about a Hamidon stress-reliever? They could make it out of that clear rubber stuff and you can beat the bejesus out of it.

I'd prefer a clear Hamidon-shaped dish full of Hami-Os breakfast cereal. (now with more delicious cytoskeleton)


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

On the front of the shirt having a character in his "good form", then on the back have them gone rogue.

"Everybody has their dark side"

It is early. But, I want the Tshirt! *lol*
I wanna wear it to Gamestop and Best Buy... and Advertise!

As other games have shown, it is never to early to start advertising.
Stargate Worlds started advertising their game like 5 years ago >.>
And is still not out yet >.<

it will be a good thing if going rogue does not emulate stargate worlds

I think your avatar is scary
and yes, it would be wonderful if Going Rogue doesn't emulate Stargate Worlds

If they sent you a Tshirt would you wear it?

"Going Rogue "Switching Sides is not always what you think"

Have the Guy on the front and the Girl on the back

Well i wouldnt wear it down the shops or anything But throw me a shirt to wear indoors on a lazy day and im sorted!

Im looking forward to the next teaser of GR, that trailer is still one of the best gaming adverts i've seen in quite a while. Easily the best teaser for Co* so far.

It would be fantastic if they advertised Going Rogue. And not some half-attempt in a magazine. I mean the full whammy, posters, TV ads etc. Do that, and we could expect alot more new people around.

And if/WHEN they make a t-shirt for GR i'll be wearing one all the time :P


I was doing some playthroughs of City of Heroes. Now they will serve as memories of a better time ...

TV ads? Has any other MMO had TV ads besides WoW?

Don't think so. But a TV Ad would be great. As far as i can think of, it's probably the best form of advertising. And if there would be a TV ad, it better be a good one! :P

Well, for a more targeted demographic, comic book and superhero fans, there is Superman/Batman: Public Enemies DVD from DC and Planet Hulk DVD from Marvel coming out soon.

"a goth girl with booty shorts and Aerosmith hair"? Really?

Please people... Desdemona is obviously a skillful yet not-so-subtle homage to Bettie Page.

How many games/movies/music/books have t-shirts that say "coming soon"? I think they just need to release t-shirts with different hero and villain groups' logo, or dare I say, custom t-shirts that resemble our own heroes and villains logos and chest pieces.

Especially the part where they ran out of money.
