Weekend Confirmed Episode 59
by Garnett Lee, May 06, 2011 11:00am PDTBy popular request, Weekend Confirmed takes on all of Portal 2 in the opening segment. Though the conversation covers much of the game in feel and concept, there are spoilers. So for those wanting to avoid them, skip forward to the start of the second segment at the 32 minute mark. And there's still plenty of great stuff to come from there like Child of Eden, Outland, Thor, our new "knockout" game, how Sony could tackle E3, the top news stories of the week, and Finishing Moves to top it all off.

Sure his commercials have been great for the PS3 and PlayStation brand itself, but I think they've simultaneously belittled the games themselves. When you watched the commercial for Gran Turismo 2 or GT4, it looked like a car commercial for car enthusiasts. The GT5 commercial on the other hand wanted you to know first and foremost that it was a PS3 VIDEO GAME, and didn't really jive well with the image of the GT brand. The same goes for past and present commercials for things like Metal Gear, Ratchet & Clank, God of War, etc.
Also, KB and his presentation are too rigid to handle everything the PlayStation brand might entail. As you can see, there's no way to correctly apply KB to Sony's current debacle. Another example is how when Heavy Rain came out, Sony didn't know how to apply KB to what this game was offering, so it got no commercial advertising in North America.
One of the things I used to associate with PlayStation was the clean, straightforward advertising associated with a brand synonymous with gaming. Not it seems like they're trying too hard to show you how cool PlayStation is.
