New Hearthstone TV Commercials - December 2016
A couple of new Hearthstone commercials are going to be on TV and Blizzard has uploaded them to YouTube. What do you think? Will this get people interested in playing?
I get that they're trying to target a larger audience but omg, these adds are so cringe worthy! Surely they could have come up with something better?! If I had never heard about the game before, these adds would put me off ever even wanting to try it.
'Take this inside' - wow. I feel nauseous.
Or, you know, you could have kept with this getup...
At least they showed here how they see their players.
Worst commercial NA.
ew just ew
I don't want to take this inside!!!
Maybe do something like this instead?
I get goose bumps Every time i watch this cinematic.
You should never go full retard in an ad.
For Hearthstone, Blizzard is able to use hundreds of World of Warcraft Cinematics. I don't have a fair idea of the Hearthstone department marketing budget, but I am pretty sure it can create an advertisement that makes this game feel 'epic'. Using WoW cinematics should not even be too expensive; it'll come from internal means- and sources.
I think if they were budgeted €5000/6000 to make an advertisement (It's on the lower side considering Blizzard as mother-company) they should be able to make something better than this.
Main thing to consider for them: Have it be screenwritten by somebody who is familiar with the game and the game's feel, and has knowledge of marketing techniques. Also, please, strongly consider your target audience and don't just create something for the sake of making something. Poor advertisement can harm your goals instead of helping it.
Trash
My eyes suddenly start to bleed, I don't know why. Sylvanas magic?
I feel like this commercial was made by Forsen twitch chat, it's pure cancer lul
If you want people to play Hearthstone, just show them the Vo-7-Tron animation.
Wow..... I've seen better adds made by 12 year olds...
probably the best commercial out right now imo
Well, as I said on Twitter, it is one clever way to advertise that they need new people at Marketing.
why samsung? everyone knows that iphone is better
That horrible Sylvius Windmanher will give me nightmares...
Cosplay are totally trash ! blizzard has not enough money to buy decent costumes ?
