Now i’m not a playstation fan - i have a real Amiga Persecution Complex about what it did to my beloved Dreamcast - but one of theTV Ads for the Playstation (or possibly PS2) (at least here in the UK) was bloody brilliant and i’m trying to find a decent transcript of it.
Basically it featured a variety of different people - young and old different ethnicities etc. all speaking parts of a speech.
The speech was, in style/content, very similar to the “I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe” speech in Blade Runner. Kind of a list of experiences being recounted by an aged war-veteran or something.
Basically each person would list something that they had “done” as if it were a real life experience (when actually it was a gaming one) and all i can remember is the last two experiences and how it ended:
"…I’ve commanded armies, and conquered worlds. And though i’ve lived a life of dubious virtue, at least i can say…
‘i have lived’ "
any ideas what the rest was?
anyone?
anyone at all…?
