If there’s one thing Microsoft could learn from Sony it’s how to run a decent advertising campaign. The days of weird clowns and ballerinas from the PlayStation 3 launch are long gone and Sony are particularly good at rousing the emotions of gamers.
Like previous “For the players” adverts, the Star Wars Battlefront trailer relies heavily on nostalgia and seamlessly blends the real world with that of video games. This is going to sell a hell of a lot of consoles.

Now that is EPIC and a brilliant ad. It’s exactly how I feel when at work and always talking about games and hoping to get home real quick xD

Oh, holy Jedi knight – the Star Wars are brightly shining!!
That trailer put me through the complete range of emotions that I associate with SW.
Goosebumps, tears, laughter, excitement…
Damn. Congratuwelldone!
If Sony got everything as right as they did this trailer, they would be unstoppable.
Very nearly want to go out and buy myself a second PS4 now.

Wow, very cool..!
And well referring to this generation of gamers’ fond memories of STAR WARS.
They might even get me to buy a multiplayer only game for once… ;o)

Great advert! Almost makes me want to dust off the Rogue Squadron.
I didn’t get chance to try the beta for this game, but I’m really tempted to try the full release, even though my passion for online multiplayer games has really diminished of late.
It’s Star Wars for flip sake!
