5 Strange Video Game Publicity Stunts - Part I

[Toastman12]

EA sucks

[flakvr]

LESS BASS ON NARRATION THANK YOU *ear drums blown*

[BFloverhateCOD]

hah they consored the blood on the goat at 4:44 man i saw goats and cows being killed in front of my own eyes since i was still 3 years old and nobody covers my eyes when i saw those animals being killed, maybe in another country they will not allow their childrens to see an animal or another living things being killed and the blood come out in front of their eyes so they will cover the childerns eyes but nobody covers my eyes when i was 3 years old seeing those animals being killed.

Gamerspawn > IGNentertainment

[yapalli83]

well they said : 2 trucks load with mw3 games are robbed in Paris... that was bullshit

[omgqwerty082]

lol but Homefront predicted Kim Jong Il's death

[TheRhymeBoy]

@omgqwerty082 That's cool... in a way still it's sad but then again

I guess Kim Jong really was

*puts on glasses* il...

YEEEEAAAAAAAH!

[racerbatman43]

@omgqwerty082 funny part is that they actually got it right lol

[AlboCarShow]

Does anybody know the first song. Hard to hear but it's still clear?

[nipander11]

@AlboCarShow I think it's Pendulum-Tarantula

[y512516]

Gamerspawn

the place where INTELLIGENT gamers gather

[miimiko1313]

What is the song in the end ( starting during the banner thing) ?

[benjygar97]

@miimiko1313 End Credits - Chase and Status

[miimiko1313]

@benjygar97 Ah I though I had heard it somewhere. Thanks mate !

[Fighter66012]

@Darious135gease You need to keep your opinion to yourself. If ur another religion thats cool. But u dont need to dis other peoples religions.

[AnimatedKookie]

THQ Can tell the future? \

[mec567]

Man, GamerSpawn really knows how to pick good music for there videos.

[VideoGameFallout]

Man, he has the best voice...

[Darius135gease]

Fuck Christians. Christians can suck my dick.

[Muumihullu]

... stupid people

[TurnoverAbid]

this shit is interesting and entertaining....definitely my favourite youtube page atm for gaming

[TheBanned0ne]

Next time make a top 100 so I have more to enjoy ;)

[TrueCoolGuy]

Dear GamerSpawn, u guys are really under-rated. These kinds of videos are both informative and fun to watch, unlike the 2000 COD commentaries on Machinima. You guys deserve more fame and attention then they do, plz make more videos like these, obviously ppl like them

[ISAFMobius18]

@TrueCoolGuy all in favor for making Gamer Spawn an official Gaming Information site, channel, and source for all gaming news, videos, pics, and announcements, Say Aye! (like or thumbs up)

[ISAFMobius18]

@TrueCoolGuy all in favor to making Gamer Spawn an official gaming site, channel, and source for all game realted news, vids, pics and announcements, say Aye! (like or thumbs up)

[TrueCoolGuy]

@ISAFMobius18 Although your being kind of a thumbs up whore, I agree

[XelestialDragon]

I was the writer of the article that inspired this video (had no idea they'd actually make it into one!). If you guys would like a part 2, you can contact GS or DeltaGamer or comment back to me to let me know of some more stunts that you think are worthy of being covered.

[Trickstars]

What about Medal Of Honor 2010, wasn't there something with taliban or?

[XioGamer]

Ok. Please tell me what is the song on beginning of the video ?

[mindslaughter12]

i love you GamerSpawn

[DWTDmitri]

The man with the golden voice works for Gamerspawn!

[sweden20000]

he's voice is so... Manly !

[Randomfilms23]

im roman catholic and i hate people dissing my beliefs ok some people are stupid and im one of the only people who dont get pissed off at a game because its got hell or devils in it. just wanted to say.

[DimosDigitals]

People still believe in stories? (Christianism etc.)

[exxod255]

Oh and every ad stating that COD is realistic and new, should be on here :P

[exxod255]

This guy can be the new Morgan Freemen.

[Levanoir]

Dante's Inferno is based on "Divine Comedy" !? Not "Dante's Inferno!?!

[CYEggs]

u know, i really don't hate christian, but the one in this vid? plain stupid.

[knowsall101]

@CYEggs you obviously didn't pay good enough attention to the video.

[CYEggs]

@knowsall101 i know the vid says those christian is EA trick, but what after it is that it says christian are really beginning to protest, now thats the dumb point

[xmodmodifier]

3rd one was plain stupid

[Sknoob728]

a good interesting video, thats why im subscribed to this channel

[TheEthug]

Remember when Treyarc lied and said they had learned lessons from MW2 on what not to do.

[TheFunnyKillerBunny]

song list please!

[MrOnkL]

more of these sorts of videos. I can see gameplay elsewhere.

[MegapiemanPHD]

Nice music choices throughout the video.

[XxDAVITXx1]

READ THIS PEOPLE!!! video games is differnet than real life homefront was the bom!!!! suck on that !!! any ways if u r mad at ea screw u i luv ea they created all the battlefields!!! my favorite is bad company 2!!! soon it will be bf3 the most populure !!! just stop it no lifes and play some mw3 and bf3 im i right relpy me plz !!!

[TigranTheMetz]

@XxDAVITXx1 You're not right, you're just an idiot. Homefront was shit, such an advertising camaign is wrong and distasteful (if you know what that means).

[AdriaPenguin]

These were awesome...

But what about Dead Space's "Your mom hates Dead Space 2"? It was such an impressive strategy!

[TrueCoolGuy]

@AdriaPenguin It was an awesome strategy and no body had anything against it, this video is about strange publicity stunts, mostly the ones people did not like

[iAmAnonymousTom]

@AdriaPenguin That was really bad for EA, that was a real bad move. I'm surprised it didn't get on this list, but after reading a few more suggestions on this comment page, GamerSpawn might have to do a part 2.

[kattillion]

More of these videos. Great.

[elvensbane]

religion... ban it.

[heilaff]

@elvensbane Amen ^^

[nyle123nyle]

what the song at the end of the video??? from 8.00

[joeypie96]

when mercernarys 2 was coming out they gave away free gas, and the duds who were fuling up the cars were drested up as the main chotors of the game.

[red0death1]

Nice video

[keshaz12]

SPAWN THE GAMERS!!!!!!!!

[MrMMoney]

gamerspawn reached a new level of awesomnes

[M1auuu]

the homefront one's awesome!

[Exist64]

Those "outsiders" will never understand how great and emotional games can be. They say its bad, but never played heavy rain, mass effect, deus ex or one of the many other good examples for profound games by themself...

[AL00ZER]

this was cool to watch. I wish I saw the home front banner, dam add blocker!

[SpanishBroomaker]

EA protests itself! >D

[deltadude1]

That homefront one was really the most dumbest publicity stunt ever that could have started riots, war, suicides, and an international crisis

[OGBluemercury1]

AHAHAHAHAAHHA STUPID GOAT AHAHAHAHAH STUPIDER SONY!! @4:39

[blitzwaffe]

*believe*

[fromagelatin8]

I love the music gamerspawn use in their videos

[iseeuat100yds]

i love it when people bitch about the level of violence of video games, but not in slasher movies like SAW

[iAmAnonymousTom]

@iseeuat100yds Watch "Hobo With A Shotgun" That's well beyond fucked up.

[iseeuat100yds]

@iAmAnonymousTom just watched the trailer and.....wow lol

[iAmAnonymousTom]

@iseeuat100yds Yep. I almost turned that movie off after the first 10 minutes.

[mapomonster]

Awesome videi GS

[AtOthenewbkillah]

this is why im almost an atheist. If theres ONE thing about heaven or hell in entertainment, they'll immediatley be all over it. Jeez, IT'S JUST A GAME!!

[AskHandsomeThomas]

that goat stunt was just sick

[ghos2277]

lol I still remember seeing people talking about being invaded by North Korea.

[blitzwaffe]

@ghos2277 I hardly belive that N. Korea has the power to unite with S. Korea or defeat Japan. N. Korea can barely feed it's people let alone invade another nation. It has a large military but its forces are comprised of outdated Soviet technology and weaponry. The only advantage they have is the number of troops.The only scenario possible would be a nuclear war rather than a conventional war.

[ghos2277]

@blitzwaffe What? You might have misread me. I was talking about remembering people that saw the Homefront news stunt and thought that the US was really being invaded by NK. I wasn't talking about the possibility of a war between the two countries.

[blitzwaffe]

@ghos2277 Oh all right lol I got sidetracked. Sorry about that :)

[TrueCoolGuy]

outro song?

[MaGn3zIuM]

@TrueCoolGuy Chase & Status - End Credits (Feat. Plan B)

[AkumaRyu27]

Hahahahah, these seem cool to me, I guess I'm a bad person?...hahahahah...

[TheThaleska]

awesome ^^

[shorqx]

intro song?

[Jaxx960]

@shorqx The song is Tarantula by Pendulum :D

[falcondadas]

duke nukem's flash game, call duke nudem..

btw is the narrator related to that gamespot editor, they share the last name

[irregularhero]

Chase and status FTW!!!!

[H4L0K1LL4]

this list shows that people are easily offended pussies and to that i say FUCK YOU!

[Oskarstalis1]

nr 5 is just retarded

[Dragonguy68]

this was quite an interesting..... REALLY interesting video...

[D0OMZDAYZ]

That was great! more!! :D

[greygoosevodka1]

very interesting video

[Dragon313035]

i stopped listening to the news since how quick they assume along with there ignorance

[Avera9eWh1teShark6]

that god of war thing is really messed up

[Arie]

These kind of videos is why I love GamerSpawn.

[HaveADinosaurUpMyAss]

What is it with the video and DnB music seriously ?

[specterseal999]

I'd say the GoW2 one is the worst lol

The missing limbs comes next.

[XxKaLLexXVS]

OMG Homefront is the worst videogame ever created !

[anter176]

@XxKaLLexXVS no.

[MrFizzleWizzle]

upload more this was really good

[krunske]

religious people ... they never learn -.-

[MrBeastknows]

Capcom, Sony, and THQ are stupid as shit...

[ManSmokingACigarette]

Red Faction guerrilla had an interesting stunt where they would let people smash a car with sledge hammers to promote the absolute destruction system featured in the game.

[xXxasdzas]

wow no dislikes?!!?

[TheElemental1991]

Realistic? I guess you never heard of Halo

[Brotherblaze]

The balloons were eco friendly soooo wtf is this.

[Crusadermds]

really guys? Gamerspawn posts an awesome video and you just continue to bash MW....stop being douches, it really won't make your cool.

[jordanturner97]

@Crusadermds cod fag

[Crusadermds]

@jordanturner97 actually I'm not, I like more my BC2, but anyways i posted that because i'm really tired of that bullshit.

And it really hurts to see battlefield "fans" being douches...

[knookjes1]

is that the west burrow babtists church or something?

[Pr3datorify]

That's an awesome idea and it was informational as well, nice video.

Btw: Does anyone know the name of the last song/the one that was played during the homefront story?

[MrNaughtyHands]

Those religious nuts protesting a game and that clown didn't even know what the game was lol..there is more then one religion out there assholes..get over yourself

[YellingDingo22]

What about battlefield, they post real war footage... wait never mind that's just gameplay.

[navaja111]

@YellingDingo22 5 out of 5 right there!.

[Edsta713TX]

@YellingDingo22 I can't see a video from Gamerspawn without some BF troll posting a comment on the game that has nothing to do the video.

[YellingDingo22]

@Edsta713TX I'm no troll, simply making an observation that the graphics and gameplay in the Battlefield series are extremely realistic. There is no need for meaningless namecalling. :P

[TheAssassinH]

@Edsta713TX deal with it gamerspawn community is full of battlefield gamers 

[tony00500montana]

@YellingDingo22 lol nice

[LethalPekin]

@YellingDingo22 Why does everybody on every Gamer Spawn video have to comment on Battlefield 3? This has nothing to do with Battlefield 3, and look, 159 thumbs up.

[leaf16nut]

@LethalPekin

It's not just gamerspawn videos... It's everywhere...

Possibly because it's going to be a fucking killer game and we feel the need to experss our thought abojut it.

BF3 FTW!

[YellingDingo22]

@LethalPekin You're only picking out the battlefield people. On every video there at least 3 other game groups commenting. Like Call of Duty fans, homefront fans (the very few), and Operation Flashpoint fans (the even fewer). The people in this video just decided to pick out my comment which happened to be about battlefield.

[Demize347]

@xXfOrTh3wInXx Gamers are supirior to non-gamers

[stefansnake]

Very intresting,

[PKrising24]

anyone care to tell what the song at the end is?

[TheGhostshadow95]

7:13 isnt it the f1 2010 soundtrack ?? :D

[SevvloR]

@TheGhostshadow95

its Chase & Status - End Credits ft Plan B

[TokyoAro]

Yeah but war with Korea is next =/

[Jaybo1594]

people in the world are too dumb to be exposed to it. seriously, antichrist? first off, why is it that we all believe in the christian faith by default. come on people. don't like it? don't buy it.

[xGAM3Rxx]

EPIC VOICE

[Twinturbo120]

Just proves that retards don't need to be mentally challenged.

[WhaleboyProductions1]

Epic voice man is back:D

[MrAfghan1992]

Love GAMES to END.

[JavaBasher]

There is no link between Violent video games and human aggression, people are just being people.

[Jenya588]

KAJUCHU!! Did i win?

[mQtek]

@Jenya588 Kijuju. :)

[jjakkad]

I know the intro track. Someone at GS listens to DnB

Pendulum & Fresh feat. Spyda & Tenor Fly - Tarantula

[lipton3d]

but call of duty is of the demons from hell

how do you think it sold so much

[frank141289]

porn!!!

[EIN771]

jesus wept, gamerspawn has been infected with battlefield nutjobs

[iCoDsTarPwnGe]

GAMER SPAWN FTW

[SlipknotFanize]

First I thought Dante's Inferno protest was about protesting God of War clones.

[rocksygti]

1.42 sad bastard

[codepoke122]

looks like CNN are cod fanboys

[goldlee]

Not really a publicity stunt persay but Valve did a great ARG leading up to the release of Portal 2 that involved people decoding hidden messages in games and actually travelling around the world to find clues.

[sevless]

"i bet you wish you were lucky enough to get paid to drive in the middle of a deasert and blow up a car" no thats what the mythbusters do and i am jealous of them

[bloodwing5211]

@sevless why did u say no then if ure jealous of mythbusters? derp!

[sevless]

@bloodwing5211 it may have not been worded the best i was mising something to tired to think of it right now. but i was saying no i am not jealous of snoop dog but i am jealous of mythbusters

[bloodwing5211]

@sevless ohh ure not jealous of snoop dog?!?!?! ull be a millionare.. :P

[sevless]

@bloodwing5211 it doesn't really matter how much money one person has. for instance you can have a mansion but how much space in a house do you really NEED same goes for money. sure there are things in life people will want. but when it all comes down to it its all another thing. in general i dont really care about how much money i have as long as i can stay happy healthy and live. (i know this probably isn't a good point or a well worded comment but i hope people can understand what i mean

[bloodwing5211]

@sevless i dont really care either but its nice to have a bit more money to buy something fun

[DynamiteKiwi]

aw you didnt mention the splinter cell advertisement where a guy pulled a gun on a cafe, wtf

[sevevouga]

@lordedvard8 xD I guess you never heard of arma 2 and project reality

[ondaskate]

@lordedvard8 That was footage from a video parody off of TheOnion.

[Fennecfox10]

@lordedvard8 No you got it wrong, the channel saying it has an ultra realistic gaming experience is The Onion...

[treydog3000]

@lordedvard8 i know right defibrillating bullet wounds has never been so realistic lol

[TimedruidHD]

@lordedvard8 And i guess you haven't heard of a game called ARMA II...

[Seriath1]

@lordedvard8 hahaha maybe ARMA 2

[KaiserBecks]

@lordedvard8 Guess you haven't heard of Arma 2.

[Asercom1st]

@lordedvard8 They haven't heard of "Super Mario Bros." ! his game is to real :)

[TheKooolcat21]

@lordedvard8 why keep hating on COD dude i mean i love BF but COD is unstoppable its gonna out sellf BFreguardless the battlefield series only sold 17 millions copies all together dude just stop hating u not a true bf fan if u talkin bout just graphics talk about there guns and gameplay not omg outr graphics so good

[MurphyPendleton]

@lordedvard8 Battlefield realistic?

Guess you haven't heard of Red Orchestra, SWAT 4, Operation Flashpoint or Arma.

[thatuglyguy1]

@MurphyPendleton Battlefield is trying to keep it as fun as possible while putting some realistic aspects into it :D

[MurphyPendleton]

@thatuglyguy1 SWAT 4 and ARMA are fun as hell though...

[thatuglyguy1]

@MurphyPendleton well to the people that want it to be as realistic as possible. You're part of the 5% of people that want a game thats realistic as possible and enjoy it lol. Thats a fact :D

[MurphyPendleton]

@thatuglyguy1 No I enjoy all kinds of shooters, I was just saying that Battlefield is completely unrealistic with it's regenerating health, smooth, weightless gunplay and the fact that every soldier type has the ability to fly a helicopter.

I still love the games though.

[thatuglyguy1]

@MurphyPendleton just remember DICE wants to keep it really fun while keeping realistic aspects :D

[elvensbane]

@thatuglyguy1 DICE says 'Balance over realism' but they keep it real. ;p

[thatuglyguy1]

@elvensbane whatever same thing :D

[TigranTheMetz]

@MurphyPendleton Weightless gunplay? Battlefield happens to be one of the few with weighty guns.
