About 2 days ago i saw a banner on youtube for Sc2 probably the best advertising one can get at the internet. And just a srcond ago i saw TV advertising (Kabel 1, Big German channel) for Starcraft 2. Never seen anything like that for a PC game, probably i didn't realized it. Anyways i love it get the Esport spread out to the community =D. Just wanna let u know...hf gg | ||

Mass advertising is how Apple promotes their products, such as starting a viral add campaign by someone "losing" their iPhone 4. | ||

It's not being marketed as an RTS game, but instead like an epic shooter or RPG. | ||

It's not being marketed as an RTS game, but instead like an epic shooter or RPG. thats because most people don't know what an RTS is over a FPS/RPG. Advertising != actual product. | ||

Edit: Even for PC, games like WoW and Dragon Age were hyped up a lot on TV um halo 3 and mw2 are mainly console games... and dragon age is the rare exception, WOW is a horrible example, as we all know its unique and dominates the gaming market. theres never ever beena RTS game with this advertising or anything even close | ||

Mass advertising is how Apple promotes their products, such as starting a viral add campaign by someone "losing" their iPhone 4. Nothing compares to Apple's marketing department. They are immensely aggressive. How else are they able to sell such shoddy products time and again? | ||

I think they might be banking on widespread familiarity with starcraft 1, and they want to show off their cinematics team. To somebody who's completely unfamiliar with the game, these trailers make it look like an incredible experience no matter how the game plays. I remember seeing the trailers for WoW before it was released and honestly they are the only reason I bought it, never having played an MMO before. | ||

I highly doubt they are "banking on widespread familiarity with starcraft 1" but im not complaining about it, i just think its funny. | ||

Blizzard has such quality cinematics that they could attract many people based purely on the trailer. I remember getting to a cinematic in Starcraft or Warcraft was like the biggest reward to me after doing a few missions too. The screen resolution would start changing and you knew what was coming! I never really saw any MW2 trailers when that was coming out, must not be watching the right channels. I've seen that obnoxious "everybody is doing it" one lately, though. The halo ones I do remember seeing on a lot. SC2 ones I actually haven't seen before on television still.. | ||
