I feel like nobody ever does commercials animated in the style of the engine, remember the Mario 64 Got Milk? commercial or another one of Ocarina of Time promoting a different drink? Or just the commercials of real life shenanigans occurring, usually to promote the primary gimmick of a game. Ubisoft wasted a big opportunity, in my opinion, to make a commercial like that for Driver San Francisco. Like some one bored in traffic sees someone in a super car, shifts into that and goes on a joyride.
The old games that were meant for fun and it's not taking things too seriously. Ahhh good days with Playstation, thank you for these such classic games. EDIT: I've been playing all Syphon Filter games and such a huge fan I am how I adore these series.
my lord, your screen name is offensive, my wife and i come online after work to enjoy the internet and youtube to watch funny pet videos and old video game videos, people shouldn't be subjected to such filth, and deliberate filth, you actively consciously made that name, i should report you but i trust you'll do the right thing and change it, have a nice day!
I saw this commercial once and it stuck out in my mind. I never played it, nor knew what it related to. THANK YOU for finally putting this mystery to rest in my mind.
They need to do PS3 Syphon with John Chacon as the voice actor. He did Gabe's voice for SF1-3. If they could somehow bring him back, my life will be complete.
ever since he uploaded a video of himself on RUclips like two years ago as of writing this, I’ve regained hope in something coming of it. Just seeing his face and hearing his voice is a little cathartic.
Boy, the standards of violence changed with the times, what was a splat of blood on impact and dark themes was considered "Mature" is now considered teen or even kids.
That's true, I've always felt like Syphon Filter could have been a T game since the beginning. Nothing about it ever seemed M. That I can remember anyway, lol.
@@nothingcreative1003 Huh. I've always wondered that myself. Gameplay wise 2 isn't any more violent than 1. Storyline wise I think 1 was more dark and distrurbing with the catacomb levels.
@@pkkingcrimsonrequiem1332 SF 2 had much more bloody fmv scenes than the first 1. It shows multiple spooks and agents bleeding put in the cutscenes, and they also added blood pouring out of the dead bodies in game so yes it earned its M rating. The first SF was really close to getting an M rating as well.
I never saw this commercial before. Gabe is awesome. This game was one of the best on the PS 1. The series should come back and ignore all the shitty PS 2 instalments.
I absolutely love this ad! For whatever reason my memory serves that the voice of the main character sounded different kind of like Keanu Reeves in The matrix or something, but I don't know it's probably just cuz I was either 11 or 12 years old when this game came out and just forgot. I'm so glad I searched and found this though
I was reading gaming magazines earlier and found that sony made a particular commercial for Syphon filter to promote the game as well the console itself 😎😎
Considering how fucked up the Syphon Filter virus victims turn out and the fact it's a VIRUS, I don't think we'll be getting it any time soon. Y'know, Covid.
Spook: STOP DON'T SHOOT!!! Logan:........... Spook: Do you have something less painful? Logan: Umm...... a crossbow? Spook: Too messy. Logan: A grenade launcher? Spook: Um owww. Logan: How about the taser? Spook: Yea a taser's good
Lol, I remember when I played this all the time when I was so small. I shouldn't be playing this game when I was 4 but my dad let me. Even though we had an Xbox, I still chose the Playstation to play this from time to time.
lol, locking onto an enemy from street level in DC in the first game, lighting them on fire, and just watching them flail as they rocket towards the pavement. priceless.
after owning syphon filter 1 & 2, omega strain was a big let down even though the graphics were improved x's 100 and you can create your own character, it just didn't feel like a syphon filter game
They sure don't make commercials like these anymore.
this reminds me of some of the old gamestop commercials

didn't age too well only its still a classic in any case
Ah yes, the taser... Every SF fan's favourite weapon.
Especially the way the bad guys scream as they burst into flames.
Most satisfying.
well,i prefer the M-16
jangoligth An M-16 can be funny on "Syphon Filter 2" as well, especially when you shoot bad guys and they fall and scream.
***** "AAAAAAAAAA-!" *body hits the ground*
Yeah, that was downright hilarious
my favorite weapon is the BIZ-2, sir.
I remember this commercial being played on tv heavily. The memories!
"AND WE'RE BACK LIVE HERE AT THE TACOMA DOME... THE ROCK AND..."
Yeah. Lots during those Attitude Era Wrestling days I remember seeing it constantly.
Same here
Não passou esse comercial aqui no Brasil
I miss when video game commercials were actually funny and creative. Good times.
Would have been funnier if he actually got set on fire like in the actual game.
I was waiting for him to go up in flames.
it would take too long lol
Probably wouldn't pass TV censorship so they toned it down.
This will never get old.
I never saw this commercial and I played the shit out of this game as a kid. This is pretty funny.
Seeing it on Live TV was glorious.
same as me
Woah! I've never seen this commercial, back when I was a kid playing this game, I feel like my life is completed
He said "Do you have something less painful?" But Gabe was choosing the weapons that cause the most damage! LOL!

EDIT: I've been playing all Syphon Filter games and such a huge fan I am how I adore these series.
Word around the campfire is they're talking about current gen remakes of it on the PS5. It's in pretty high demand.
@@1bIgFaTsOnOfAbItCh yup Dark Mirror just got added amd we've had 1 2 and 3 for a while now I platinumed all 3 on both ps4 and 5
Now this is how you sell a game !
I am proud to say the people who made this game are within walking distance of my house. They also made a uncharted!
That is so cool
my lord, your screen name is offensive, my wife and i come online after work to enjoy the internet and youtube to watch funny pet videos and old video game videos, people shouldn't be subjected to such filth, and deliberate filth, you actively consciously made that name, i should report you but i trust you'll do the right thing and change it, have a nice day!
@@jhot2477 tf
SaggyScrotum did you ever meet the team?
@@jhot2477 you must be joking right...? If not welcome to the internet
One of the best video game commercials of all time!
Why does this make me think of Robot Chicken? XD
Duraganthelion I can see why you thought that... the dialogue. Basically the same humor
If this was Robot Chicken, he most likely would have gone up in flames.
RIP Replay button.
"Yeah, the taser wouldnt be bad" lol you havent seen what this taser does
I saw this commercial once and it stuck out in my mind. I never played it, nor knew what it related to. THANK YOU for finally putting this mystery to rest in my mind.
i still have all three ps1 versions of syphon filter man i love this game

Dark Mirror and Logan's Shadow were amazing, but Omega Strain was pure garbage.
LovelyProductions I don't think I played them, but I always felt the series died after the third game. The second was its peak of excellence.
If you have time definitely check those two out. Not as classic as the original trilogy, but still great
I think I watched the cutscenes in them. I wasn't happy about how the story played out, and how Gabe was sidelined.
Gabe was sidelined in Omega Strain. In both Dark Mirror and Logan's Shadow you play as him and the stories focus more on him, thankfully.
Best part of these games was tasering the enemy until they caught fire
I still remember when I first saw this commertial. Ive never forgotten about it
I remember seeing this commercial during Christmas 1999. I still had everyone.
My uncle got me hooked to this game back in the 90s good times
im glad this came out a day after my birthday (,:
this was and still is a badass commercial
one of my fav. games
I absolutely love this ad! For whatever reason my memory serves that the voice of the main character sounded different kind of like Keanu Reeves in The matrix or something, but I don't know it's probably just cuz I was either 11 or 12 years old when this game came out and just forgot.

"uh excuse us, Mr. logan!"
*blows them up with grenade launcher*
does anyone else remember playing this level in the demo because I do
Oh how I loved hearing their agonizing screams. Lol I remember seeing this commercial when SF2 was barely coming out
"Dammit!!" -Gabe Logan
I still have a PSone. I used it from time to time just for the Nostalgia factor.
I was reading gaming magazines earlier and found that sony made a particular commercial for Syphon filter to promote the game as well the console itself 😎😎
We may never see a new syphon filter game ever again
It's good to know the voice actor for Gabe Logan is now the main character in the upcoming Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Oh the memories!!
When are we going to get a remake of Syphon Filter trilogy? 😢 It has a lot of potential.
Considering how fucked up the Syphon Filter virus victims turn out and the fact it's a VIRUS, I don't think we'll be getting it any time soon. Y'know, Covid.
Excuse me Mr. Logan?.......AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! XDXDXDXDXDXD
OOOH MY GOOOD! I FUCKING LOVE THIS COMMERCIAL. "Uh, excuse us Mr. Logan..." Kaaaaashink! Booooom! AAAAAAAHHHHH! Fucking classic. :)
Yeah that last bit cracks me up.🤣
BRING BACK JOHN CHACON!
yeah, I remember playing this back in the day
This was my favorite game and commercial
My god what an amazing commercial!
I remember buying this game the day it came out, well I gave my mom the money to buy it, I was only 13.
Excuse us Mr. Logan
Bang!!!
Saw this commercial while watching WWF Smackdown 😄😄 Good Times
I just love the level of awareness of whoever made this commercial, what with acknowledging the taser and its cult status among SF players.
for a moment i thought this was a robot chicken scene
Hahaha, I remember this commercial. Now I can finally remember exactly why I wanted this game even though I knew nothing and sucked at the game.
Logan's voice is the trademark for Syphon Filter
@The Flying Dutchman I wonder if he's still alive?
"Uuuh excuse us... Mister Logan".
Hahahaha! They don't do spots like this anymore.
I remember getting this when it came out played it non stop awesome game
Love his voice yes bring back John chacon
One of my favorite PlayStation games of all time :)
Well, rejoice, Sony announced the registration of a new game.
that hilarious, one of my all time favorite games
Now 2022 i still playing this game in my psone
That series is so awesome!
Logan's voice is epic,its an unique voice to an unique character ^^
Syphon collects all the filth under a kitchen sink. Every kids wants to be a syphon.
Nostalgia unlocked
Love the taser
Remember switching to your taser is faster than reloading
Spook: STOP DON'T SHOOT!!!
Logan:...........
Spook: Do you have something less painful?
Logan: Umm...... a crossbow?
Spook: Too messy.
Logan: A grenade launcher?
Spook: Um owww.
Logan: How about the taser?
Spook: Yea a taser's good
The taser is one of the most lethal weapons in this game.
I want to buy the trilogy so much...
I remember as a kid, the tunnel chase boss. Clipped him from a distance and fried him on the spot. So funny.
Um excuse us Mr. Logan.
I was so happy when i discovered this taser In Days Gone
You would never get away from making a commercial like this in today's standards.
I laughed soo hard at this the very first time!
Never played any Syphon Filters, but watched Electric Playground, and the commercial breaks etched this into my brain. And I'm glad they did.
I love the level where they're parachuting in. I use the taser and they're ash before they hit the ground.
Great commercial, great game ;D
An urban myth claimed by my friend was that he tasered an enemy so much he turned into a pile of ash.
I still have that game :)
Wow...I definitely need to play this game right now:D
I've just got this on my PSP on the Playstation PS1 classics. Ahhh.... Its good to have this old game back....
Better video game commercial than any other commercial we see today
I miss this game
Lol, I remember when I played this all the time when I was so small. I shouldn't be playing this game when I was 4 but my dad let me. Even though we had an Xbox, I still chose the Playstation to play this from time to time.
lol, locking onto an enemy from street level in DC in the first game, lighting them on fire, and just watching them flail as they rocket towards the pavement. priceless.
I forgot about the "excuse me, mr. Logan"
Getting kicked off a train might leave a bit of a bruise, but I'm sure he'll just walk it off.
Wait Don't Shoot Don't Shoot!
I remember playing this game all the time with my dad when I was 6 I used to hold the taser on people forever lol
Says Epically: "How bout' ,The TASER?" Thumbs up. Lol.
btw the taser is a secret weapon in this level
after owning syphon filter 1 & 2, omega strain was a big let down even though the graphics were improved x's 100 and you can create your own character, it just didn't feel like a syphon filter game
At least he didn't say a pen
never thought someone would like to die by something very painfull
LOL! he talked...that is cool when it shows gameplay and then it is like a movie.
Very funny game commercial XD!!!!
OMG! I forgot about this ad!!!! 😂😂🤣🤣
Why am I only just seeing this
0:15 Bone Facture Detected XDXDXD
OH THE NOSTALGIA!
Fantastic commercial: 10/10
0:27 XDDDDDDD
Why does the equip icon for the M79 look very different from the real weapon?
