I don't see the big deal, seems like it's just associating zombie killing with super happy fun times.

I can't find it in the thread, but wasn't it confirmed that you could have your account on X1 and a 360 and not have to transfer between the two? Basically I want to put my old 360 in my library for my old XBLA titles and such and wanted to know if I would have to cart my profile on a jump drive or redownload it back and forth.

Juxtaposition is the theme of that DR3 ad. See, it's funny and hip to be ironic.

I just think it doesn't convey "quirkiness" effectively. Certainly not in the way that the DR2 ads did. I do get that it's happy music in a not particularly happy situation. I don't think that's enough to sell the game.
Maybe that's just me.

Yes, your profile can be "live" on both consoles with no transferring back and forth. Same for Windows 8, Windows Phone, etc.

That black and silver xbox logo at the beginning of the video is pretty sexy

I think the ad is okay, it's just a lazy song choice.

I was trying to think of what other video game commercial that song was used in, and I just remembered. Much more effective in this one imo:

I think it's a shitty song choice for a Dead Rising 3 ad but then again I'm not a huge fan of the series. Still want to try the 3rd one but I'm not in any kind of hurry.

That's a good ad. Too little too late of course, but it's still a good spot.

Yeah, that was a great ad. Loved the Titanfall opening. Still doesn't make me want to play Ryse though.

To the NeoGAF crowd?

While I like the PS4 "Perfect Day" ad better, at least Microsoft is showing how their console works.

Hearts and minds kind of thing. Even though this ad is showing exactly what it should, people decided long ago that the Xbox One was TV TV CALL OF DUTY TV TV TV TV.
