Playable teasers should be a new standard in game marketing

[Mr. Manhattan]

The way Silent Hills was presented was masterfully done, even if the actual game dosnt reflect the teaser gameplay i.e third person rather than first person.. its still conjurs alot of interest to continue the mystery or story.. and builds sustainable hype.
We cant trust these trash cgi trailers anymore, we need to play these trailers

Kojima innovating ideas

So, make a demo and call it a playable teaser?

I guess you have a point, but those CGI trailers really need to go. They serve no real purpose.

P.T. is perfect because they have much more feedback as opposed to some cgi trailer put together

This wouldn't work as a standard. The game would have to introduce a new/fresh concept for a playable teaser to have anywhere near the success that PT did.

This. We've had demos since games were on CDs

 

[WOAHMYGOODNESS]

Yea it's called a demo pt just did a bait and switch and made people think pt was a demo for a new game when it ended up being the demo for a rehashing of a franchise

It worked really well though. I don't even want to call this shyt a demo cause those have more content. This is really what it is. A playable announcement.

It wouldn't work with every game though...

 

[DPresidential]

NO..but it could actually work.

Honestly, I'm surprised that no one has gotten into the ear of EA...

With their EA Access Hub, they'd be able to offer something unique like that to its members where you play creative concept teasers.

The way Madden 15 starts for instance...you play on the Seahawks - Panthers game & can change history. It starts up the first time you put the disc in.

That'd be cool to offer that section of the game as a playable teaser.

Exactly people have to realize re hype was learning what pt was rather actual playing a demo for a game they could look up

Someone will copy but idk if it will work as well as pt did for silent hills considering it also has benecio del toro kojima and Daryl from the walking dead

A Demo and a Teaser is not the same

The teaser acts as a standalone to introduce an upcoming game the main purpose being storyline or atmosphere immersion, a demo is playing a section of a completed or a game under construction


Silent Hills teaser was a standalone

Exactly..we don't even know if the legitimate game will even play like that..it was an extremely creative way to introduce a game imo and it literally popped out of nowhere..

I want Silent Hill to play like PT and I want it to come out next month
