Extreme kino. Thanks for showing me.

I laugh at how cringe and forced even back then these gamer sites/mags and ads can be. It never really changed. Only got more obnoxious and boring over the years with too many taking this stuff seriously.

It's even worse now because billion dollar companies try to act all casual and friendly on social media, just comes off extremely dishonest.

>Croc was supposed to be a Yoshi game
this ad predicted Yoshi vore

>How do we get kids to buy our games instead of the other ones?
>Lets have our mascot beat the other mascots, so kids obviously know ours is better!
That's in general the mindset behind these.

When I was a kid I was a big Sonic fan and they had a Ty the Tazmanian Tiger ad where he had beaten up Sonic and Spryo and I think Crash and they were all terrified in the hospital wearing full body casts when he was menacingly standing in the doorway ready to finish the job. Needless to say I never played Ty or had any desire to ever play his game, in fact I secretly wished it would be a terribly selling game and he'd be dropped as a character for the rest of time.

The croc devs actually accused Nintendo of stealing ideas for Mario 64 from them and cites it as the reason why they decided against lending them the Yoshi IP.

The gamepro line especially is funny. What is ever the point of saying that type of ridiculous stuff? Are we supposed to as consumers go yeah move over mario and cruise on by crash croc rocks and now that croc is around your games suck? Then there is the mario hat only with an N instead. Its extremely nerdy and cringe. They embraced console and franchise wars back then it seems where as today they largely disapprove of it if not outright dislike the idea of it. Although they do still say and do cringe worthy shit to get people interested in these games.

How did you not rope yourself after seeing Ty beat that faggot porcupine in the 6th gen and becoming a multimedia franchise with a third globally acclaimed movie coming up?

Dunno I stopped playing Sonic games and haven't even paid attention to anything Ty related since the first game, I think I saw him getting some Nick show or something.

>when he's assembling the men
holy kino

Desperate times called for desperate measures.

Anyone got a magazine page from early days of WoW where the devs interviewed say that they have planned a 5 year lifespan for the game?
In hindsight its pretty cool to look back and iddentify when/where the cracks started to show.

00's cringe was a special kind of cringe.

also that chick is hot and this commercial makes me believe that hot babes used to rent games

I'd be her personal bean farmer and feed her 3lbs of beans and then sit back relax and enjoy and she blows out her asshole farting nonstop for days

why were so many people fucking obsessed with the twin towers, I get they're iconic but pick something else for christ's sake

Didnt ubisoft send a bunch of guys a watchdogs promo and they had to call in a bomb squad?

in a better timeline, voice masking became a thing

Yup, they sent out beeping black boxes and an Australian office had to evacuate everyone from the building iirc.

How can a company be that dumb?
