I was going through my Google reader feeds as I usually do everyday and came across this new marketing video for Gears of War 2.
I don’t know if I like it better than the “Mad World” video or not.
I feel that the “Mad World” trailer had a darker tone to it and that you couldn’t help feeling alone. Plus the music was awesome. With this new trailer entitled “The Last Day” it seemed more like the calm before the storm, at least this time Marcus has his bros to go with him. It’s kinda cool if you think how you’d feel if you were in their position. You and a couple of other guys are about to drop down underground and take on a HORDE of locusts with just your lancer. (Even though the lancer is a beast of a weapon.)
Kinda makes you think, at least it did for me.
I guess I’m just glad that they try and add some emotion to the game which is mostly about blowing stuff/people up.
Good marketing.
