PlayStation Nation – “Long Live Play” Celebrates YOU

Long Live Play: Celebrates You!

Hello PlayStation Nation,

Early last month, with some ambiguity, we announced that we were looking for a few good gamers to assist us with a special assignment related to our freshly launched Long Live Play campaign. Long Live Play honors gamers from all walks of life and recognizes you for making PlayStation who we are today.

We asked members of the PlayStation Nation to email us with pictures of themselves holding their PS3 controller and in 30 words-or-less, describe how they epitomize the ultimate PlayStation gamer. I know that PlayStation gamers are some of the most impassioned fans in the world, but I was blown away by the thousands of responses that flooded my email.

After weeks of anticipation, I can finally reveal the complete ambition behind Long Live Play. I’m delighted to announce that we’ve painstakingly reviewed each submission and selected a dozen or so die-hard gamers to represent the PlayStation Nation in a brand new Long Live Play campaign that will air on national TV starting October 5th. We think this film provides an insider’s look into what it’s like to be immersed in our universe and why it’s so compelling to game on the PS3.

For those already initiated into the Nation, I think you’ll find this film almost like a game itself. You’ll see a rich layering of different characters from some of your favorite game franchises – including cool everyman Nathan Drake from UNCHARTED, the mighty Kratos from God of War, the nimble Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet, and a monstrous Chimera from Resistance – all gathered together saluting “YOU” the PlayStation gamer. We spent months building out this experience and loaded it with numerous PlayStation Easter eggs. I’m pretty confident it will take several viewings before you find them all. Towards the end of the film be sure to notice the collection of photos of your fellow members of the Nation. This is one small way of demonstrating our sincere “Thanks” and to celebrate your tremendous commitment to PlayStation’s thriving community. And with PS3s available for under $250 – we welcome all gamers to come on board to experience the best in Blu-ray gaming.

It is our hope that this film showcases to all gamers the incredible characters and experiences that make PlayStation 3 the ultimate platform for people who love to game. You know that PlayStation has the industry’s best line-up of exclusive software titles, features highly immersive motion-control and 3D gaming, and free access to vast amounts of sports, movies, TV, games and more on PlayStation Network. Now, with your help, we’re spreading the word so the world knows that PlayStation continues to be the top destination for gaming.

Long Live Play!

  • Thank u playstation!!! For all the great years!!! That video gave me goose bumps!!

    LONG LIVE PLAY

  • To Chapulin140!!!! long live the king!! lol

  • It features Uncharted, Resistance, MGS, Tekken, NFL, COD, MLB, God of War, FF13, Infamous, Killzone, Hitman, Twisted Metal, Army of two (?), Portal, LBP, Dead Space, BioShock, Sector 9, Assassins Creed, and Ratchet and Clank. Did I miss any?

  • That was awesome. You guys didn’t have to tease a new commercial, though…

  • SACKBOY!!!!!!!

  • This is why I’m glad to own a PS3. I had so many flashbacks of playing all these games while watching the video. Amazing video!!!

  • This is the greatest commercial ever! Excellent job Sony, kudos to you and thank you for developing Long Live Play to promote the gamers who have stood by the PlayStation family for over 15 years.

    I salute you Sony for showing that you do care about the die hard gamers. The ones who go out and buy the new games when they come out and actually build a community around. Thank you for your awesomeness PlayStation!

  • I don’t know what’s lamer the commercial or the announcement hope next “announcement” isn’t some weak joke.

  • Pretty reminiscent of the infamous drug-induced “This Is Living” PlayStation commercials. This one is much cleaner, but very similar in a lot of ways.

  • Love it! saw most of my favorite characters and that saber of lightning is EPIC!, I want one of those xD. Would have been better if some Resident Evil EE were there. *correct me if i was wrong but i did not see any RE related stuff in the video. RE is like one of the best fame on the PS*

  • That was an excellent commercial. But I’m a little disappointed about the hype surrounding the preceding video only to find out it’s about advertising. …Focus on cross game chat!

  • Amazing

  • as always PlayStation puts its fans first, very cool.

  • kick ass video! very creative! LONG LIVE PLAY!

  • who the hell is Michael ??? cool video.

  • damm just awsome …..game on !

  • This was a really sweet video. Hopefully I’ll actually see it on tv sometime. I usually don’t see cool commercials. x.x

  • NICE. 1:53 my favorite part.

  • I´m trying to translate and generate portuguese subtitles for this video, but i´m having a little trouble to understand what the soldier says between: “Pinned down on that god forsaken beach…” and “Then one man broke through”. Can somebody help me? THanks!

  • Wow I thought Uncharted 3 was epic XD

  • Sony you better get this on TV. I don’t watch TV a lot (because I’m playing your awesome exclusives obviously :P)
    so if I see it I’ll be happy:) and I might show it off to the non believers!!

  • SONY HURRY!! This is on the top favorited thing on YouTube!!

  • This is truly one of the best commercials ever made. OMG. Fantastics. Sony has finally delivered something worth watching when it comes to PS3 marketing commercials.

    Congrats. ;D

  • Hope to download it in Full HD 1080p with good bitrate from PSN store.

  • Did the hype for this get blown out of hand? I thought the October 5th announcement was going to be a pretty big deal. At least something worth an announcement. This was a commercial and a pretty bad one at that. Building up a mysterious hype for a commercial is a bad marketing idea.

  • Great video! But I don´t know if it´s going to be that long because of this “on line pass”.

    It seems Sony wants to hurt the devoted consumers.

    For example: If my PS3 is broken and I have to buy another one, do I have to pay 10 bucks for every game I have?

    It´s a shame and I believe it´s against our rights!

  • [DELETED] The commercial was awesome. It would be great to see a follow up where the villains complain how much they hate ‘Michael’ the gamer :P

  • Great video.

  • Paul Phoenix!!!

    SONY giving props to the game/franchise that brought in most of us during the PSOne days!

    Spacerac: That’s a horrible example. If you do not buy Rage new, you don’t get access to areas in the SINGLE player game. I think cutting off something online is far more fair.

    Those areas are EXTRA in the single player game. They are only minor and only hold non-gameplay affecting items like money and maybe a slightly nicer gun or something. Plus, you still have to find those areas, so even if you buy new, you may not even get the extra stuff. If you buy it used, you aren’t actually losing anything. You’re just not getting access to the extra stuff. Whereas, with the online pass, you are actually being forced to pay for a standard part of the game. That means no online coop or multiplayer matches, which is what a lot of people buy these games for. I’d rather not get the extra stuff than be forced to pay for a standard part of the game.

  • He said they selected a dozen or so die-hard gamers right? Does this mean that more commercials like this will come out or were they on they pictured on the wall?

  • Hahahaha, Awesome epic video Sony. Loved Nathan Drake picking up on Lightning. xD

  • There IS one part that I noticed that the actor messed up at n its not that noticeable either. The very Beginning before the guy drops from his parachute his hands and arms are in a Mr. Burns position awaiting for his cue hahaha. Again not that noticeable though

  • MASTERPIECE!

  • I’d like to see a “Making of” video for this.

  • I luv LUV LOVE this ad – GREAT job! It made me laugh and gave me goosebumps!

  • Really enjoyed the commercial. Long Live Play!

  • Best advertisement I have ever seen.

  • pretty darn good. give me goosebumps.

  • At every weapons check, Kratos has to explain, “But they’re attached to my body!”

    Hopefully a nice, HD downloadable version of this ad will hit the PSN store soon.

  • long live ps gaming i always will be a ps gamer from the first ps to the ps3 i cant wait 4 the ps4 to come out love u sony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

  • Ah I have a question, who are the two soldiers representing in the video? Some say they are call of duty but I say they are from Medal of Honor frontline. So which game is it really? ps Just wanna say thank you, this is just amazing makes me proud to be a Playstation fan. When I was little I asked my mom to buy me a PS and PS2. But when I got older and now work and go to college I still choose Playstation over xbox and things like this are the reason why. YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

  • That has to be one of the coolest gamer commercials ever! It was completely not what I was expecting after seeing the teaser last month. I was pleasantly surprised how it turned out. I love all the characters sharing their stories with eachother. Epic! Good show Sony….good show.

  • Great ad. Congrats!

  • This gives “epic” a new meaning. Awesome movie! LLP!!

  • OMG i like thos ereal action person looks amazing Kratos, Cole, Snake, Eziooooo!!! woojooo Amazing!! like it 100%, i wanna be in that mural jejeje could be possible?

  • Is there a better quality version than the 1080p version on YouTube?
