EA's Marketing declare War on Blizzard's SC2!!??

update:
the links became private so i am posting the new LIST of videos
http://nz.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=RedWhiteBlueAlert
it was on the 1st page but i dont see it anymore.... there are still some good promo from them, and the one with titled "Suki says space sucks." its close to the one missing.
the missing one had tilte "Lissette...space something" i dont remember i searched but i cant find it.
for those not watched it said that propaganda is playing game with space fiction races and they are people doing "crap" games like that...

but it would be better if would be uploaded later one again.
they are not attacking directly they are not stupid, but the spot was clearly for sc universe.
sure there are not 100% proff on that, but by making it private hmm makes thinks more Suspicious!


video 2:

i really dont have any comment just look the video!

it "hi i am a PC and i am a Mac" all over again!??

LOL


special tnx goes to cncnz.com guys for those video promos they found.

before start flaming, its all about having a litle coversasion, so plz keep it easy...

its all about FUN!

 

Hey! You haven't been here for decades.

She never mentioned "Starcraft" in the video though.

Wierd.

 

i was really buzzy my friend, and the thruth is there was no real NEWS on sc2 so far, at leat not until Blizcon ;-)

se never mentioned it but, "fanction space races?" what could it be? i mean its smart and funny and still keeps its cards closed! i like it! ea's biggest problem was always Blizzard's success! who else could it be?

 

Oh I'd punish her for this, mhm.

On the actual topic, I don't see the reason behind such provocative ads. Sure, promote your own stuff, but bashing others' is lame and just shows how unsure you are about the success of your own product.

I would rather not comment on how stupid the video comments are. Yes, EA is 5 times the size of Blizzard, but it develops games in pretty much all the genres there are, which just shows that they want to try their hands in all the stuff, yet continuously fail. They haven't homed their skills onto a narrow field like Blizzard has, which is why I think SC2 > RA3.

 

tnx for not commenting youtubes comemnts here, we dont care what they think there, we can reply them their not here, i just thought it was something lots of you didnt see, and you should know abou it right?

 

LOL! EA totally picked on the wrong group, but very funny videos and SC's storyline is not hollow, it is mysterious and i am more interested in SC's storyline than RA3

 

The first link said it was a private video but the second I though was kinda funny. Din't specifically mention SC though and the aliens on other planets could mean any of a hundred RTSs

 

I can't view that first one either.

And vasz, I feel the same way.

 

Yeah, first one's private. Second's pretty funny, but yeah, more a general advertisement than a direct shot at StarCraft.

 

Thread moved somewhere relevant.

 

Where was it?

 

Too bad the original ad was made private, it was much 'better'. This only hints at SC while the original was taking the piss with both the game and Blizzard.

 

Once again, EA proves itself to be a bunch of insecure and talentless executives. Seriously, what's the difference between them and a bunch of teenage girls? (No offense Kurai)

In case you haven't noticed, I hate EA.

 

@Wick742
I think the whole point is to show that red alert may look like you average "We're so cool lets have a serious plot" game.But it actually doesn't take itself seriously at all xD. Making it refreshing while we wait for SC2. Their release dates will be like a year apart anyway so it doesn't matter.

 

but probably their expansion will be out with sc2, then again serous story line or not doesn’t matter, they want people to enjoy a game and have fun, don’t get me wrong I love starcraft universe 11years now, but when I want to play a game and relax have more fun than strategic thinking all the time, and just play around, I would play CnC games.

chess is great, but its like car racing, and sometimes I just (and many will understand me) people just want to go for a ride with their car and just relax, not stress their self, not worry about winning or loosing, just Cruising!

and thats something Blizzard's RTS games do not usually offer only custom maps and missions made by players. ;-)

 

Ever heard of UMS maps?

 

can you explain the term plz?
are you talking about few maps that blizzard empolyes are making to have fun?
still why should you have fun in few maps-games and not all of them ...
i am just saying its a different category C&C franshize with Starcraft's or Warcraft's.thats all.

and insted of been blindly loual to something we should be more "open" and recognise the positives of the opponents too!

 

Er. UMS = Used Map Setting

Ever wondered why a certain planet floating called the Campaign Editor is doing on your Main Menu?

 

I'm buying both.

 

no really why?

to allow me learn how to use a map editor in order to have funny games out of the boxes maybe?

or maybe create super mods that will be hanted down and killed by the same company cause i i cant use there engine, i am nto allowed to use their logos, their names....oh come on now, lets be realistic Blizzard untill w3 ft and later was Mod unfriendly 1100%

there was several starcraft projects that was looking amazing and they were all shutdown cause mama Blizzard didnt like people playing arroung with their game!!! they said its "iligal" and hacking and stuff like that! and they have mobilized lawers against children that wanted to make a game more fun!!!!

on the other hand Westwood and EALA never did that! ok they had some problems with there engines and map editors arent so friendly as Blizzards are but who cares!!! there are Thousend of Mods right now for C&C univers and less than 10 for Blizzards games!

Blizzard NOW realised their wrong police and started allowed people to play arround and in sc2 will help them to make more Mods by making the Map editor a Fantastic tool. now! EALA had that policy for more tha 8years now!

all i am saying is stop been so blind we all love Blizzard ok some of you are kids some of you like me are more older and are been with Blizzard since they were Chaos Entertainment or Silicon and Synapse, we All love Blizzard but their policy on MODs and Users FUN wasnt good at all!

and if you say you hate a company cause they did mistakes in the past, ok, give it a try to the competition and Then judge! give it a try something may have changed! ;-)

because we are geting out of Topic
i find the advs very smart and funny, we have enough troubles in our every day lifes, some of us wants to return home and have some fun if they play a rts game, and relax.
and sometimes we like more pation and strategy.

so there are 2 different game styles so dont say ra3 vs sc2 cause its a wrong comparison.
alterative say fun vs serious. and you know what you can have it BOTH! thats all fox!
