I thought this promotion was quiet well done – it didn’t promise much to begin with so expectations weren’t high (you weren’t really expecting someone to turn up in a big daddy suit and announce a wii version or something ridiculous, did you?)and those who did turn up got some rather rare and memorable swag – I mean come on, those posters look cool!
it’s certainly a good marketing effort for a game now slated for 2010. you really would have to expect a hand written note from a Rapture resident though.. because who would bottle up advertisements and release them.
Large sand castles like from the teaser would’ve been a treat too.
It was damn cold, I can attest to that. I think the event, for a supposed PR thing, was a bit disappointing consider all the other paraphernalia they’ve produced on the website.
I wanted to see a red light in the ocean like all the kidnapping stories. The posters are now up on my wall still though.
