Do you guys want to see adds on TV for Eternal crusade? Sorry if this thread has been done before 100 times already.
Haven't voted as there's no option for "Behaviour Interactive's money would be better spent either on development or advertising elsewhere".
on tv? they don't make huge marketing campaign. but more mouth to mouth, social network and promotion inside the games workshop communities like white dwarf add .
As it comes closer to completion it is as people said more mouth to mouth, not many use the tv anymore, once all commercial resources are used up then as a last effort for more players go for commercials on tv, only if there is loads of players of course.
What your on right now is their first form of advertisement and even then it may have come too soon. If there are no changes to plan the game will be out "late 2015" so in two years. So i would be sometime in "late 2015" then yes it would make sense to do some cool TV ads to help draw in those people that word of mouth and online ads may have missed. ^This. I would much rather that the vast amount of time and resoruces that could be used for marketing goes into the development of the game, with a small budget maybe for online. You can get a lot of honorable mentions from people who run 40k blogs to create interest and draw people here, plus i would say banner ads on websites such as IGN, Gamespot, Reddit, Etc.. GW i doubt would do any ads but it would be cool to see somthing from them in the year/ months before release, even just a poster in their store. EC seem to be on top of being part of "game fairs" and the only other thing i think would work is at places like Comic con, Games Day, and other such events
It gives the poll a bit more character, but it is apparent that some people like it. Personally I liked it.
I feel that getting the word out on something like a new mmo is extremely important especially with a somewhat unknown brand like Warhammer. Hell I didn't even know it existed until 2 years ago, let alone have video games! I mean look what a well crafted promotion campaign did with the SWTOR mmo, even though the games didn't deliver what they promised (I actually enjoyed it), the ad campaign sold the game itself. Warhammer has a solid base community of table top players and those familiar with the game but the majority of people in the gaming community tend to roll all the space marine genres together. Console gamers especially are acutely prone to simply ignoring whats going on in the pc world and i dont want this game to get swept under the tide of next gen console games that will be flooding in the next few years. I believe TV ads would be the way to go, along with an online promotion. I would target action oriented console gamers and mmo players who are tired of WoW and Guild Wars. Obviously this doesn't have to be done soon since the game isn't coming out in a while.
