Starfield had this level of marketing. I think the next Bethesda RPG (ES 6 ?) and Blizzard game will get similiar levels of marketing.

Yeah, I agree about those games. Honestly, they should give forza horizon 6 , gears 6, and even dormant franchises like fable and perfect dark that treatment . Say what you want about those dormant franchises but they still hold weight in gamers mind imo

Gears is the one that will need to be pushed. Forza is doing well right now, but for Gears they need to make Gears 6 release an event.

I agree that no other IP is getting this level of marketing, and I think the only other game would possibly be a mario game. Anyways, I think Microsoft games could still get decent marketing like advertise elder scrolls 6 at time square and at other major cities. I am unsure if even Starfield got that treatment, but Microsoft should def advertise their games at major cities. I’ve always found it odd when I see advertisement for Playstation games in Toronto, but rarely for Microsoft games. For example even Deathloop had a billiboard in Toronto, but I rarely see that for a Microsoft game.

Funnily enough, Yonge Dundas square had massive Forza Motorsport ads but nothing for Starfield. I wonder if Bethesda has less boots on the ground here marketing wise and would benefit from MS Canada taking charge like Sony did.

I think Deathloop is a special case, there’s a good chance that whatever deal they signed had some level of marketing spend on behalf of Sony associated with it. I don’t know that Bethesda would have been putting up billboards on their own.

I think the fact Sony got it as an exclusive to begin with would suggest Bethesda were never 100% sure on it’s success so billboards might have been less likely

Bethesda was in a weak sales spot with the failure of a few games, like Prey, Youngblood. They needed money and Starfield was far away.

Moved Sony Release schedule talk so it can take on a life of its own.

Sony PlayStation release schedules?

That may be true of the past… considering Playstation’s lack of games for the rest of the generation, I’m left wondering how Playstation will continue to advertise “games” when they have only 1 game a year (if that)? I guess they could start advertising Wolverine’s CG teaser trailer on repeat for the next 2-3 years?

I hope this counts:

5G Home Internet & 5G Wifi | Verizon

In my area, Verizon is offering a free Series S if you switch to their 5G service and it routinely pops up on Facebook.

I’d take them up on it if Comcast didn’t have a monopoly in our area that the local governments sign off on for 10 years at a time.
