Title: Billy Hatcher high-res commercial cature
Post by: Berto2K on September 25, 2003, 02:00:31 PM: I captured the 15 second spot for Billy Hatcher. Missed the first couple seconds because I didn't realize what it was. But those first 2 seconds are the same from the video recently released by SEGA with him jumping on rocks. Download away. It is about 5.8 MB.

Commercial

I realize that it might have been hard do to a commercial for this game. But they should have been able to make something better than this. I hope this was SEGA's advertising goof, and not Nintendo's.

The advertisment shows plenty of in game footage of Billy Hatcher, and that's good enough for me. I thought it was a good commercial. I am not really a fan of Sonic Team after playing Sonic Adventure I & II, but I still thought the commercial was good, and I must say that I am thinking of buying the game just to show my support for Sega and Nintendo.

They could have chosen someone with a less dare I say childish voice. I will at least rent this game to give it a try. Not just because of the commercial, but because of my limited playtime with the preview disc demo and the reviews that it is giving. I'm not sure how it will be.

Post by: Deguello on September 26, 2003, 12:08:51 AM: The funny part about this commercial is that if people didn't like it, they blame NINTENDO for it instead of SEGA, who actually MADE the ad itself.

I wonder if the game would fare better if they got Hoobastank to play in the background while a hip, edgy man claims that playing Billy Hatcher will up your street cred, yo. Could it have been advertising any other way? When you eventually bite the bullet and convince yourself to get over the commercial and actually play the game, the answer is a definite no.

Post by: aoi tsuki on September 26, 2003, 12:45:30 PM: The song and vocals match the theme of the game. i could be mistaken but the song sounds like it's from the soundtrack. Lyrics aside, it sounds like a lighter version of an early 90s alternative rock song (Belly, Letters to Cleo, etc.). Good stuff.

i don't see what's wrong with the commercial. It doesn't follow the edginess of the F-Zero commercial, or the geeky-coolness of the Final Fantasy Tactics Advance commercial, but i really like it. Most of it is actually from the game, which is always a plus for me.
