So I was sitting there at the laundromat, doing my laundry along with some various homework on my laptop, when this brilliant commercial came up on the television screen. I recommend clicking this link and letting it take you to YouTube, where you can watch it in a higher resolution on Sony's YouTube channel. It's awesome.
The video starts out with a troop of World War II soldiers (Battlefield, maybe?) creeping through the forest until they reaching an opening with an inconspicuous, but rather large house. They walk in, talk to the mysterious lady at the desk and drop their money into a tray, which happens to also hold various other objects used as currency in various Sony games. Immediately after, they set their weapons on a rack filled with other game specific weapons. This was when I first started asking what was going on.
Into the bar, you see Nathan Drake (from the Uncharted series), talking to Lightning (from Final Fantasy XIII). Cole (from Infamous) is talking about someone who helped him become good. Meanwhile, the camera switches and you can see old Solid Snake (of Metal Gear Solid 4 fame) who eventually stands up and talks, almost successfully duplicating the famously grainy and deep voice of his videogame counterpart. Sweet Tooth (from Twisted Metal) can be seen playing chess with Sackboy (from LittleBigPlanet), while Chel sneaks out of a Portal, barely visible in the background.
A Greek goddess, maybe Athena, starts praising this same person who helped them all, while Kratos (from the God of War series) stands near. During this time, the Hellghast (from Killzone), a creepy Little Sister (from Bioshock) and Ghost (from recent Call of Duty Games) stand around, along with Issac Clarke (from Dead Space 2) in full armor.
Ezio (from Assassin's Creed II) begins to show his adoration until all the characters start chanting the name "Michael! Michael!" Ans the bartender raises a picture of Michael, who holds a game controller.
After all ... these games, I suppose, would be nothing at all without the people who play them. Watch it!
