EA's new Need for Speed: Carbon is all set for your gaming pleasure as of November 1, but we've got the latest hot television spot kicking off the advertising campaign for you right now. No need to wait until Thursday night's World Series game on FOX to catch it, either. The ad, put together by San Francisco-based HEAT, is titled "Night Sky," and offers a viewpoint that is a bit peculiar and disorienting at first, but turns out to make perfect sense once everything adds up. Without giving too much away, let's just say you have a firsthand experience of what it's like taking a bit of a bad turn in the game, but get your chance to redeem yourself in the end. This :60 spot will have :30, :20 and even :10 versions, and will be available in multiple languages, worldwide, as the game is launched. So without further ado, check out "Night Sky" below, or download the 6.4MB QuickTime here, and vote on it over at Netscape.
1. Ah Tom, you must not be a car guy. The ad doesn't show a bad turn, what its showing is drifting/oversteering/power sliding through a turn, which, done correctly, can be the fastest way around a corner. Its overdone, as NFS is an arcade type game, but definitely not depicting a "bad turn".
