After seeing the Japanese add, I cant even laugh at how shitty the American one is.
Who do these adds even appeal to?
EDIT: Lets not make assumptions about musical taste. Any form of popular music would have been inappropriate. Pop, rap, rock... most popular songs.
EDIT 2: Once again, this is not an attack on classic rock or any particular genre. This is about misleading advertising and out of place music in shitty commercials. All the money they spent on it... its trash.
EDIT 3: And actual quality Destiny advert: https://youtu.be/jS1BM9XRgvw
And another decent one: https://youtu.be/clRpcIHpmoY
EDIT: I gotta say, I am amazed how few people get the thread.
The vast majority of the posts on this thread essentially boil down to thinking I am insulting a 70s Rock Band and like Dubstep. As though the entire point of the thread flew over their heads and was completely lost on them. I guess I cant expect less from children.
But I will say this: I was wrong about the advert.
The advert is still an embarassing and misleading schlock epic: money burning on the screen, portraying Destiny as a game of one liners and awesome fist pumping ACTION when in reality, its a very slow moving old school sci fi universe that is highly confusing and has no one liners or bro action AT ALL.
But I thought an advert like this would be completely ineffective. I thought it would be a massive failure around here. But I was wrong, since apparently all it takes is a popular song and some schlock get people excited.
Damn shame that.

I agree. I like the songs they use, but they're not being put to proper use here. Underlying problem is, Activision promotes Call of Duty like this too, and for some reason they must think we're the same demographic. (We're not.)

Its Led Zep. How the hell do you not like 'em.
-
You should be appreciating The Led.

I hate when video game commercials don't show gameplay footage. Terrible.
-
The ad itself is bad, doesn't matter what you play in the background.[spoiler]dont diss classic rock[/spoiler]

Edited by McHarmonies: 9/11/2015 3:04:35 AMFrom a marketing perspective, Zeppelin was gold. This is not something to complain about. The live action trailers have been the best thing about pre-launch Destiny of any sort. Even if it does feed Into the hype train.

Zeppelin rules. To each his own, though.
-
Someone's upset they didn't get to hear their favorite Kanye song in a commercial..
-
How can anyone not like led zeplin?

Why is this in #Destiny?

I agree. The music is good, but it doesn't fit the trailer.
-
I agree, it just didnt fit
-
Zeppelin > Marty Sorry Bungie fanboys.
-
So basically the vibe I get is that no one cares about atmosphere and just like a song?
-
Mighty Led Zep was great in that ad. What are you wanting... "Lil" John?
-
You really upset over a commercial?

Edited by Undying Serpent: 9/11/2015 3:28:04 AMI roll my eyes every time I hear Led Zeppelin. No offense, but at this point in my life, their music is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

I only adds in maht

they used the song as an attention grab. you run to the kitchen during a commercial break to get a drink n you suddenly hear Zeppelin. nearly everyone's curiosity would be piqued. tho I wish they would've followed along with the live action humorous take of the original, would've fit much better
-
I love the music in their live action trailers :)
-
Tell it to Activision. They decide the advertising music ever since they booted Marty out and replaced his music with their own. Guess it makes sense though to try and appeal to their COD fan base. And show off their monetary purchasing powers of copyrighted material.
-
Pls gib dubstep fo commershulz. Brutal drops > old rock Would be legit. Get bodied. I cri eritime. And whatever else you kiddies say these days.

It's sort of a continuation of that last live ad or something. I think, now don't quote me on this, I think they also played some Zeppelin there as well. Calling it "the classics".
