Resident Evil 5 had an incredibly stupid marketing campaign, and it's pretty darn funny.

Love these stories much like the one where two guys had to act like idiots to not get arrested while their team tries to save after the Adult Swim shows campaign becomes a bomb scare

I think they should have had "resident evil 5" near the bodyparts so people who saw the body parts knew it was advertising (because when people see advertising? they almost always look the other way)

@aortaplatinum Жыл бұрын

I love batshit insane marketing like this, like Shadowman 2 was trying to pay people to advertise on their fucking gravestones like what in the goddamn shit

I guess the chicken livers were eaten by some street cat or dog.

Iirc there was another game that did a similar event at the same time and it caused even more confusion.

Did Dan and Duncan ever win that trip to Africa? I wanna know. Some sicko probably took the fake parts or the police and the chicken liver was possibly an animal. Weird marketing.

Gonna be honest, upon seeing the thumbnail I thought this was a story about the time Capcom lost the rights to the left half of Zangief because of some insane copyright technicality. But no, somehow it was worse.
